every point of view. In fact the league
had its most successful year. Taken rs
a whole the organization was better bal

against Joe, that having been copped

late effort to get out in front, Eden
annexed Ernie Greenwell, but there were
not enough games on the schedule TO
let the South Siders get close to the
front. George Winters was the pitch

only Hoffecker had the honor Of being

st. Paul. Mimi. July 12.-Edward
Erickson, deputy in the office Of the
state treasurer, has resigned. The
resignation comes hot on the heels OF
an investigation by State Treasurer
Gooding into certain alleged Irregular
tiles. One of these irregularities has to
do with a check for $59.45, which has
been drawn on the state in favor OF
the county treasurer of Norman
county, and is said to have been
cashed by some unauthorized person.
This and other irregularities in the
conduct of the office of the state
treasurer are said to have been dis
covered. Nothing has yet been given
out definitely connecting the name OF
Mr.. Erickson with these Irregularities.

his resignation comes right at this
time.
Erickson has been connected with
the state treasury for sixteen years
and for six years has been deputy
treasurer The largest sum involved
in transactions Of $500,0SO is less
than 500 each.

with transactions referred to by the

ipated no arrests in connection with
the transactions. Erickson is under
$4,000 surety bond to the state
treasurer. He also Is paymaster OF
