Counties Get
$7,5OO,OOO
State Aid
AllotmentS For
Local Roads Exceed
1888 By $25O,OOO
MADE THIS WEEK
Stearns County's
Total Will
Reach $154,O24

ALLEGATION of $7,5OO,OO0 in state
funds from gasoline tax and one
mill tax revenues to Minnesota's 81
counties for local road improve
ment was announced this week by
the State Board of ALLEGATION.
Stearns county will receive $19,024
from the one-mill tax and $135, 900
from the gasoline tax. Todd coun-
ty will receive from the one-mill
tax $4,000, and from the gasoline
tax $4,000. The Board of Alloca-
ton consists of State Treasurer
Julius A. Schmahl, State Auditor
Stafford King, and Highway Com
missioner M. J. Hoffman.
One-mill road and bridge rev.
enues supply $1,200,000 for this
years allotments, for improve
ments on state aid roads, and the
counties one-third share of gaso-
line taxes makes up the remaining
sc, 30O,0 900, to be expended on county
aid roads.
The total exceeds by $25O,O0O the
combined 1888 allotments which in
cluded 81 100000 from the road and
bridge levy and an even $4,000, 600
from gas tax revenues. Although,
one-mill tax allotments are $4,000
less than last year, this decrease
is more than offset by a 100000
increase in gas tax allotments, in
part made possible by the boards
decision to allocate some of the
reserve accumulated from last
years revenues.
Representing the largest sum ev,
er allocated in any one year for
county aid and state aid roads, the
1889 allotments from gasoline tax
revenues are an even $1,000
greater than those of 1887, when
the four-cent gas tax revenue was
available for only half a year.
At an earlier meeting in March
the board allotted $4,368, 1928 of
current trunk highway revenues to
pay principal and interest on state
highway and county-reimbursement
bonds. These bond charges total,
led $2,S83,130.01 principal, and ST.
485, 632.92 interest. An additional
$3.50, 900 of state highway revenues
has been set aside to meet the ex-
pense of the motor vehicle regis
tration bureau.

Amateur Sports
NORTH END VARSITY
 TOPS NEW BRITAIN

The North End "Y" Varsity fought their way to another victory by downing the strong New Britain "Y" by a 31 to 26 score, in a game which provided many thrills. Being held to the lowest score of the cur rent season, the Waterburians had a rally in the last half to assure themselves of victory. The North Enders were trailing g to ' at the end of the first quarter, due to New Britain's ace, Joe Banana" Bana- cukas, who put his team into the lead with two successive baskets. Trailing by IT to 13 score at the half, the Varsity came back strong and went ahead to stay so through out the game. "Ricky" Ricciuti led the Waterburians with 13 points, while his teammate, Bob Leece also aided greatly with six points and a great defensive game.
 Banana" Banachukas and Mike Haiday, opponents for the game, played classy basketball to thrill the fans with their shooting ability.
 Because of the demand for a re- turn game by the Waterbury fans, Manager Jim Del Gobbo has can- celled their game this Sunday with the Bridgeport Schich Shavers, to play the New Britainers in a re- turn engagement. The Bridgeport game will be played on Jan. 29 in- stead.

CLUB, CADETS
 BEAT NEW HAVEN

Jumping of to an early start the Cadets basketball team defeated the New Haven Boys club hoopsters last night at the Cottage street sur face by 30-23 score. The soldiers led all the way as they evened the series with the strong club quintet.
 A good sized crowd watched Rocco Rinaldi start the fire works with two clean shots from the foul line area shortly after the referee tossed the ball in the air. These baskets provided the soldiers with a four point led which they never sur rendered throughout the contest, although the New Haven group tried desperately to overcome it. The Cadets worked smoothly and distributed the points fairly evenly. They passed fast and accurate and many times broke the visitors de- fense only to toss the ball around instead of in the ring.
 For the New Haven five the work of Canelli and Carlson stood out. They scored seven points apiece and were a constant thorn in the side of the local aggregation. Sum-

DIZZY DEALS DEATH
 WITH BASEBALLS

Ottawa, H., Jan. 11.-(UP)-Dizzy Dean wouldn't tell today whether he was throwing his slow ball or really foggin' 'em through when he knocked nine jack rabbits kicking with baseballs recently.
 The rabbit story, credit even to such an effervescent man as Dean was related in an interview heard over a public address system by l. 900 baseball fans last night.

 However, it was doubtful that they would prosecute. They consid- cred the story little doubtful.

SNOW TRAIN TO
 VERMONT SUNDAY

Unless there is decided change in weather conditions, bringing a good fall of snow in Vermont before Sunday, the New Haven railroad s first snow train" of the season from this territory will be cancelled. This initial trip was to be made to Brattleboro. Vt., but inasmuch as there is no snow at the present time prospects are not very good for get ting this train away, in which event the snow train" will be postponed one week and will be run on Sum- day, January g, weather permitting.
 In case there should be suffl- cient snow fall before Sunday the train will leave here Sunday morn ing at 8:20 due at Brattleboro at 11:25 a. m. Practically full six hours will be available for skiing or other snow sports before the re- turn journey starts at 5:2o p. m. due back here at 8:30 p. m.
 The country at Brattleboro is ideal for skiing. It is mostly open and rolling. with many wooded slopes and open wide roomy areas for all classes of skiers. Four ski tows are in operation there, all with convenient bus service from the railroad station. The nearest one is the Guilford street area which is served by an HOO foot tow.
 This years snow train will not be equipped with a sports service car but will have dining car serving low priced meals at breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
 Definite word as to whether or not this weeks snow train will be operated may be obtained Saturday from the local ticket agent.

cauliflower roof. One insisted that Armstrong had gone over the crest, and that from now on his lights will be poorer and poorer. It was this school that argued that the tremendous pace Henry has always set finally has caught up with him, robbing his legs of speed, and his fists of punch. Penty pugil1stlc pedants interpreted Henry's poor showing against Arizmendi as the first signs of the finish of a cham pion.
 School of thought No. was in- clined to dismiss Ar1nstrong's medi- ocre effort as nothing more im- portant than a fight by champion out of shape.
 Members of this school pointed out that Eddie Mead, Armstrong's manager, had said all along that his boy wasn't in condition and would be benefited by two weeks postponement.
 For the records, Mead did ask for a postponement, but he didn't get any action. His request was thought to be nothing more than publicity scheme, matched in the hope that the public would believe it and give Arizmendi more of a chance to win. In other words, just ballyhoo.
 Undecided
 I am not a member of either school. don't know what to be- lieve about Armstrong. Certainly he didn't look like great fighter last night. He wasn't very fast, his punches lacked authority, and he was easy to hit. He didn't have much of an edge over the Mexican, and even the most enthusiastic citi- zen of Mexico City wouldn't argue that Ariznendi is great fighter. All l say is that had Armstrong fought ambers the some way he fought Arizmendi, he never would have won the lightweight title. Ambers would have murdered him.
 If Armstrong has gone over the hill, and is on the down grade, his decline probably is the result Of the punching about that Ambers gave him in their 15-round scrap in New York. Lou lost the title, it's true, but he hurt Armstrong much more than is generally known. Even Henry can't keep a pleasant face when that fight is mentioned to him.

RUPERT VERY I'LL AS RELAPSE CAUSES CONCERN
Catholic Priest Attended Famous Baseball Figure;
 Has Leg Ailment

New York, Jan. 11-(UP)-Col. Jacob Ruppert, owner of the world champion New York Yankees, and multi-millionaire brewer, was criti- cally i'll today at his Fifth Avenue apartment.
 The gray-haired 71-year-old bach elor sportsman has been confined to his bed since April with a complica- tion of diseases which followed an attack of phlebitis inflammation of the leg.
 His condition became SO serious yesterday afternoon that Extreme Unction was administered by Catholic priest. He had been in coma most of the day but regained consciousness early last night and appeared to have rallied slightly.
 Early this morning, his attending physician, Dr. Otto Schwerdtfeger, said Ruppert was resting easily and sleeping peacefully" All mem bers of his family-a sister, brother, two nephews and three nieces- were in the apartment. Surprise
 The seriousness of his illness was surprise to the baseball world. The fact that he had been i'll since April, became generally known during the world series when the familiar fig ure of "the Colonel" was missing when the Yankees met the Cubs. Ruppert had to hear the games de- scribed on the radio.
 Telegrams and phone calls from hundreds of baseball men, fans, and friends throughout the country flooded the apartment. Since the attack last April, a spokesman said, Ruppert had ral- lied many times. Frequently, it was said, his condition became so good he climbed from bed against his physicians orders. This strained his ailing leg and caused relapses. it was said.
 As Ruppert fought for life the man with whom he was most closely as- sociated in the public mind-Babe Ruth-was in a hospital, but Ruth was not seriously ill.

Babe Ruth In Hospital For Heart Checkup

New York, Jan. 11-(UP)-The big heart that drove Babe Ruth to more gold and glory on the baseball dia- mond that any other man was un- der observation at French hospital today.
 And the patient, the robust, rol- licking former king of swat, empha- sized he was there for observation only and not because he was serious ly ill.
 The Babe, who was hospitalized about decade ago with indigestion from having eaten dozen hot dogs washed down by many bottles of soda pop-boomed over a telephone that:
 Hell, it's not serious. I'm just in here for little check-up. The doc says I'll probably be able to gc home today. Gosh, I'd make great cripple"
 Dr. Robert H. Mcconnell, medical director of the hospital, said Ruth's condition was not serious.
 Heart Attack
 A close friend of the Ruth family said the Babe suffered a mild heart attack at his home Sunday night He remained abed at his apartment attended by Dr. Mcconnell anc nurses until yesterday. Then the A year old former Yankee sluggel was shifted to the hospital.
 Babe denied he had had a heart attack.
 'I'd been just feeling out of sorts for a couple days" he said.
 For some weeks, Ruth had beer strenuously engaged in golf anc working out in gymnasium. Ht reportedly had reduced some 2: pounds, which brought him down tt around 235. -,
 Dr. Mcconnell said Ruth hae reached the stage in life where ht should have a complete check-ur at regular intervals. To look at him you wouldn't think there was ( thing wrong with him, and tht chances are there isn't. If we fine him sound in every respect, he vii be out of the hospital within a few days.
 T took several X-rays yesterday and will take some more today When see the cardiographic char and reports of the blood test, II be able to give complete report.

 Los Angeles, January Il. = (UP) - It was Babe Ruth, that great Bronx philosopher, believe, who said that the life of an important Athlete was just series of being a hero one day and goat the next.
 sYou either hit one over the wall and get the cheers" the Babe said, ''or you miss the third one and get the razz. What the he'll"
 Henry Armstrong today was en- toying CD the business Of being a goat. Hailed for the past year as the greatest fighter in the world and rated on even terms with the best of all times by the critics, Henry last night had trouble win ming decision over Babe Ariz- mendi in a 10-round fight for the welterweight championship here in the Olympic auditorium.
 Slipping?
 Henry, 8 fighter who has been favorably compared with Cans, Walcott, and all the other Negro prize ring greats, looked little bet ter last night than any six or seven boys you could pick up in a gymnasium. The only things he had that were like the Armstrong of the fights with Lou Ambers and Barney Ross were heart and hustle, From bell to bell, from start to finish, he moved in, always i'll, carrying the fight, making the pace, and trying for finishing punch. He never took a backwards step, never clinched, but was always on the move after the smart and shifty Mexican.
 At the finish there were two schools of thought along this city's
