srArE's aaoNgY IS scArrEeeO

So widely scattered are the
states funds as the result of the
ere .tion of numerous state deposi-
tories, that one day last week State
Treasurer r. E. Park had to draw
ten checks in order to pay the
State Sanitarium at Milledgeville
its monthly allowance of $50, 900.
There are now eighty seven state
repositories scattered throughout
Georgia, or more than one for
every two counties.
There were two or three banks
in the state at the time which held
as much as $4,000 of state funds,
but it was inexpedient to draw the
entire amount from one bank be-
cause of the local demands upon
many OF the repositories.
For instance, the state treasurer
is now paying pensions in various
counties and the Ordinary to whom
the pension check is made paya-
BILE, always calls for it on his home
bank, or one in a neighboring
county because of the inconven-
fence of usinga check on bank in
some other part of the state. It is
the same way with schoolfund aud
other expenses which the state has
to meet.
So it has come about, particularly
at this time of the year when the
state is paying out large sums as
pensions or school fund it becomes
necessary to draw the checks with
view to expenses to be met in va
rious localities, and it is not infre-
quent that it takes checks on ten
banks to meet a payment of $50,
900 as was the case with the lunatic
asylum.
Another feature in connection
with the state repositories, as a re-
suit of their growing numbers, is
the widespread scattering of funds
even when the state has little or
nothing on hand. One day last
year, when theTstate's funds had
run quite low, there was total oil
only $4,000 in the eighty seven
state repositories, one of them hav.
ing a balance of 45 cents and an
other of So cents.
And yet these banks, just as all
| the other repositories, had to cal.
culate and pay the state the same
| 2 per cent, interest on those daily
| balances.
/ With the increase in the number
Eof repositories the states funds
| have become so scattered that il
would seem little incentive now
exists for a bank TO become the
states representative in holding
its cash balances, for in addition
to paying the per cent. interest
it must also give bond fixed al
from $4,000 to $4,000 and the
state holds a first lien upon all the
banks deposits.
| However, being a state deposi
tory seems to carry with it sort
of standing which the banks, as g
rule like, even though it is often
an expense to them.

Prince andPrincess OF
Wales Applaud
May Sutton

LONDON, June 29.-The all-England
lawn tennis championships at wimble-
don today were marked for the first
time by the presence of royalty, the
prince and princess of Wales attending
with distinguished suite. The contests
attracted not only tennis enthusiasts,
but a great crowd of notables.
The prince and princess of Wales
were deeply interested in the playing
Of the Americans, which they frequent
Iy applauded. The work of Miss May
Sutton of California especially seemed
to arouse their enthusiasm and at times
the princess arose from her seat and
clapped her hands heartily.
Miss Sutton's match today was
against Miss Morton, a British player,
whom she defeated as she pleased. The
California girl played a faultless game
and did not give her opponent a
chance. The score was SO. e-2

start to finish. Contrary to eXpecta-

score was 81, rs.
The winner will have to play better
tennis than she did yesterday if she
hopes to wrest the title from Miss
Hotchkiss. Possibly, Miss Myer under

can play better than she did In the final

STANDING OF THE CLUBS
Bx w. J. Slattery

Had Heine Heitmuller used his head
instead of his feet in the ninth spasm
OF the game yesterday the Commuters
would have had a grand chance either
to tie the score or to break up the
game. But Heine insisted on endeavor-
ing to break the record from second
base to the plate when the ball was
hit squarely into the waiting mitts of
McCreedie. who quickly whipped il to
second and ended the game by COM
pleting fast double play.
The Commuters did not have a chance
to assail the offerings Of the left handed
busher. Hartman. in any inning. but
during the eighth little wildness on
his part, coupled with bad work by his
supporters. gave Oakland a pair OF
runs without the aid of basehits.
Then the fight came OF in the ninth,
The Beavers were retired before they
could do any good and the Commuters
came up. Heitmul1er slapped the ball
safely and McCreedie earned the Kisses
of the fans by taking Hartman out OF
the box and substituting CaliR. Eagan
right. Everybody save Heitmuller saw
that the ball was making straight for
Mercedes mitts. Heine wanted to
run. and he did so. The double play
came next and Oakland's cause was lost.
Strange as it may seem. Portland

who scored the run by chopping a nice

Hartman started 1t for the northern

smart one past Eagan. Bassey laid the
ball down for a sacrifice and Mott com
pleted the good work with a single to
center.

MONTEREY BOAT CLUB
WILL DEVELOP ROWING

Believing that the waters of Monte
rey bay should be used much more
than they have been hitherto for pur-
poses of healthful exercise and recrea-
ton by the inhabitants of the town of
Monterey and neighborhood, several
young men have formed an organiza-
ton named the Monterey boat club.
The purpose of the club, which has
been incorporated, is to promote boat
ing and aquatic sports and to create
an interest in the bay. The corporation
has a capital stock of $4,000, of which
$4,000 has been paid in. Fifteen Mullins
compressed steel boats, each 16 feet
long, with beam of so inches, have
been ordered from Salem, O., and are
expected to reach Monterey early in
July These boats have air tight COM
partments at bow and stern and are
adapted for rowing or sailing. A gaso-
line launch or two, suitable for deep
sea angling, will be procured later.
The boats will be rented to all who
may desire to use them.
For the convenience of boating par
ties and the safe storage of boats, oars
and other equipment, a boathouse
will be built adjacent to the old Mon

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

NEW YORK, June 29.-Frank Gill,
foaled at Sanford c. Lynes Larchmont
stud in Kentucky, won the initial run
ming of the $4,000 Coney Island jockey
club stakes at Sheepshead bay today.
Peter Pan was favorite, but was un-
equal to the task of picking up 12a
pounds and carrying it a mile and a
half in first class company over n
sloppy track. Frank Gill was the best
under the conditions, as he was always
close to the pace, fighting for his head.
and galloped by the leaders very easily.
Neither Peter Pan nor Philander. the
heavily backed public choices. finished
in the money.
While James r. Keene may have
been disappointed by the performance
of Peter Pan. he derived much conso-
lation from Collins easy victory in the
Great Trial stakes. which was worth
to the winner almost as much as the
3 year old event. Colin took up 12s
pounds and won very easily, running
