Million to lin k in g
Fund as Result of
Governors Economy
Will Be Used for Retirement of
State Debt-Leaves 100000
Available for Contingencies
-$1S6,324.93 Expende d
Past Year-Improvement Of
Nearly 81, 100000 in Treas
ury Over That of Year Ago

The State Auditor yesterday SUBJ
mitted report regarding the finances
for the past year showing expcndi-
lures from the Contiegnt Fund in
the amount of $1S6,324.92 of which
about $4,000 was an emergency ap-
preparation for the aid of children de-
pendent upon the State and approx
mately $4,000 was for terms Of the
Workmen's Compensation Act as al
lowed by the Industrial Accident
Commission and for which no appro-
priation is made by the Legislature
but is required to be paid from the
State Contigent Fund. This left ap-
proXimately $4,000 as expenditures
from this fund by order OF the Gov
ernor and Council for all other puT-
poses.
AS a result of the strict economies
that have been practiced there has
been accumulated and placed in the
Sinking Fund reserve for the retire
ment of the State Debt under the
provisions of the act of the last
Legislature the sum of over $1,000
000.' This leaves 100000 still avail
able for any contingencies.
On the basis of a comparison of the
cash reserves on July 80 with the
condition of q year ago there is an
improvement shown of nearly ST.
100000 in cash and investments from
cash in the treasury.
In addition the State has received
since July l a check for $96.495.99
from the Canadian Pacific Railway
as partial payment in settlement of
the verdict secured by the Attorney
General in a pending action for back
taxes and interest and approximately
$4,000 is still due from the same
source

Then there S another thing. The
Yankees are the sort of club that
plays best when there's something
at stake. 1t may be all wrong, but
it's still a fact that in those early
games a lot of our fellows had
the attitude what's the use OF bust
ing ourselves in half in these
games. If we lose we've still got
plenty of chance to even it up"
Today the idea is well let's get
it over, let's knock EN- for loop"
AS l said before, the attitude may
rot have been the right one to
take but it was typical of our
club. They've been that way all
season. They fool around a lot
until it comes down to the pinch.
Then they go out and break things
wide open.
One other thing, too. we've
seen Alexis stuff. We know what
TO expect-and it isn't reasonable
to believe that pitcher of his
type can continue to pitch three
hit ball against club such as
ours. It simply isn't in the cards
particularly when were lack
, home again with all the cOnfid-
ence that comes OF beating the
other guy right in his own back

I don't know who Hug will start
against the Cards today. / imagine
it will be either Urbie Shocker or
Bob Shawkey. But we're ready to
go with either one of them. And
/ believe either one is capable OF
stepping IN there and pitching win
ming ball.
In this connection let me say one
thing. think Higgins handling
OF pitchers in this series has been
one of the outstanding features OF
the whole thing He gambled
where gambling was the proper
thing. He played safe at times
when safety was demanded. He
crossed all experts by sending Hoyt
to the mound instead of Pennock
