GOVERNOR is OPPOSED TO
DIVERSION OF GAS TAXES
Takes Firm Stand In Face of
Moves To Use Fund For
Relief Or Other Purposes
ROAD FUND HAS sHRUNK

Asserting such action would
be ga serious mistake" Governor
Harry w. Nice has taken a firm
stand against diverting gasoline
tax revenue to relief or other
purposes.
The Governor expressed this
stand in a review of the activi-
ties and condition of the State Roads
Commission. 1t was the second of a
series of reports he plans to make on
the state departments.
Roads Fund Shrinks
The Governor estimated that, ex-
elusive of federal funds, only $780,
900 would be available during the fis-
cal year for new road construction
after other obligations were met.
Certainly this $2,569,000 must not
be further depleted" he said.
81 make this statement because of
resolutions, personal letters and what
seems to be the lay drought that this
money should be expended for relief
and other purposes. This, think, would
be serious mistake"
The Governor said that when the
present Roads Commission took office
its account was overdrawn by $5,483
and unpaid obligations totaled $685.
;233. Now, he said, there is $458, 157
in the general fund and only $17,449
due on open accounts.
Reduces Expenditures
He explained the gain was effected
by reducing expenditures for mainte-
nance, salaries, debt service, and cut
ting the reserve for paying off deben-
lures.
Between September 80, 1884, and
September 30, 1885, the Governor said,
the Commissions employees were re-
duced from 1919 to $3.50. During that
time pay roll deductions totaled
$1,135,4O2.
"The reason for the excess number
of employees may in 1884 may be obvi-
ous," Nice said, but certainly 1t is
factor that the curtailment of forces
of the Commission was absolutely es-
sential in order to reduce the excessive
costs of maintaining the system"
Defends Personnel Reduction
Defending the personnel reduction
he said:
SIT is the consensus of opinion that
in spite of the reduction x x the
roads systems have been maintained
at a high standard, and this is certified
by state roads engineers not appointed
by me, but in the state service fol
many years under the merit system
and whose testimony should be con-
elusive"

IVES FERRELL
 REGA|NS BEST
 PITCHING FORM
Boston Red SOx Star Quiets Fear of Fans as to
 His Class This Season
By FRANK MURPHY

United Press Stan COErespOndemt)
 Boston, June 4--(UP)--Wesley Terrell, ace right-hander of the Boston Red Sox appeared today to have regained the form that enc abled him to top American league hurlers in the games won" column a year ago with 26 victories.
 Baseball's most successful spot pitcher had his celebrated nothing ball" under perfect control yester- day as he stopped the Cleveland Indians 6 to 2 with 10 scattered hits for his seventh victory against four defeats.
 The triumph, which might have been of the shutout variety had not Johnny Kroner, rookie third base- man, Ynuffed Q pop fly in the fourth inning, pulled the younger of the famous Ferrells up alongside Lefty Grove i1a number of games won, the "two-man pitching staff" having twirled 14 of the 20 victories cred- tied to the Red Sox thus far. No Worry Now
 More important, 1t served to quell fears that the big right-hander, whose moderately -paced stuff de- pends on almost fiawleSs control, might be in the throes of an "ofH season." Wes started the year pretty well, winning three or four games in the early weeks, but then hit 8 wild streak that found him being Shelled from the hill on successive appearances during the clubs first tour of the west. But WeS found himself In St. Louis an dsince corn- ing home has beaten the Tanks, and now the Indians in tight battles.
 Boston fans have found, too, that when Terrell is pitching well he's also hitting well, 50 they found add- ed solace in the fact that Yves (Mer- riwelD Terrell got himself two hits in three trips of. .Cleveland's Johnny Allen to drive in two of his teams runs.
 Pirates Stung
 While the Red 6ox were consoli- dating their position as No. chal- lengers to New York's Yankees, the battling Boston Bees were out pirating the Pittsburgh Pirates to cop a 4-3 verdict in il innings be- hind the fine pitching of Danny MacF'ayden and Bobby Refs, the converted inflelder secured from Brooklyn last fall. Refs, who went in after MacFOayden was removed for Q pinch hitter in the eighth, got credit for the win and not without reason for Bobby singled to drive in one of the garne-sewing runs in the eleventh. The victory moved the Bees into fifth place ahead of the idle Reds.
 The Bees wind up their Pitts burgh series today with Rookie Johnny Lanning slated for slab duty against the veteran Red Lucas, who at one time was Q recruit tnfielder with the old Braves.
 Lefty Grove, his injured little finger fully healed, was to go after No. 8 as the Red Sox met Cleveland in the final game of their three- tilt series. George Blaeholder was expected to oppose Grove on the mound.

out of Baltusrol, of course, would be for Parks to confound all his critics and repeat. The next best would be for the old man, Walter Hagen, to win the thing. He might do 1t, too, judging by his final practice round yesterday when, with a big gallery tagging his heels, he had three birdies on the first nine. The last time the Maestro of the Hangover won the open was in 1919 at Brae- Burn, after g play-off with Mike Brady.
 Hagen is not a member of the ''big four" betting group, however, its members are Henry Picard, the chocolate drop lem kid from Her. shey, Pa.; Horton Smith. the Ozark ptting wizard; Johnny Revolta. the Abe Lincoln of the fairways, and Gene Sarazen, the Connecticut squire.
 What Odds!
 The first two are quoted at 8 to 1, and the latter pair at 10 to l. Such short odds are ridiculous. of course. but you can't make the gamblers believe 1t.
 The course is very fast now. The bIistering suns of the past few days have hardened the fairways and greased the greens. Thunder show CTS were forecast for today.
 Of the le0 entrants. 34 ase ama- teurs. None of them Is given a chance, not even Johnny Goodman. who won the open in 1883 at Chi- cago.

CURT DAVIS N0 :. BARGAIN WITH
 CHICAGO CUBS
WrigIey Seems 10 Hav Worst of Recent $50, ,OO
 Deal Involving Klein
By LESLIE AVERY United Press Stan COrrcspomdezi

(Umited Press Stan COfreBp0M0HHA
 New York, June 4.--(Up)-phil Wrigley, owner of the Chicago Cuk should be the picture of despair tdN day because no matter how n1ue he 1oosens the ol purse strings, N seems he cannot bolster his faltel ing team.
 His most recent expenditure $50,OOO - plus Chuck Klein-2 Pitcher Curt Davis, appears to ha0N been squandered in about the saHzI& fashion as the $65,00O and t1rs players he parted with fin exckanaH for Klein three years ago.
 Addition of Davis to the CuH lnoundsmen was supposed to havN given Manager Charlie Grimm thN best balanced hurling stan in thu National league, but 1t hasn't. Al# though Davis had won only tw8 games Up to the time he was 0l5& tained by Chicago, it was believed that poor support in the field and aN bat was the cause of his not turn* ing in more victories. In the tw& weeks he has been with the CubH Davis has started three times, losh twice, and won once. Chicago w1A in the second division with a per& centage of .483 when Wrigley aSaN nounced acquisition of Davis, and the club was only one game out Q9 the lower bracket with 8 total u4 .488 today.
 Davis lost his second game as Am Cub yesterday, 3 to 0 to the New York Giants, thereby allowing the Giants to break a jinx that tll@ Cubs had held for more than 8 year. Not since May, 1885, when Carl Hubbell turned back Chicago 3 to 2s has New York won 8 game at Wrig~ ley field. The Cubs made 1t 11in0 straight over the Giants on home grounds when New York made It's first western invasion last month, Carl Schumacher pitched nearly perfect ball, allowing only three hits during the afternoon.
 The league-leading St. Louis Carw dinals kept their three-game mara gin intact with 2 to 3 decision their second straight over th@ Brooklyn Dodgers.
 Hits by Haslin, Refs and Urbaiay ski, and 8 walk to Lopez pushed owes two runs in the 11th, enabling tho Boston Bees to win 4 to 3 and evel4 the series at one-all with the Pitts burg Pirates.
 Cincinnati and Philadelphia wess not scheduled.
 In the American league the NevS York Yankees got back in stride with an il to 1 triumph over tho Chicago White 6ox. Charley RyxA fing pitched five-hit ball.
 The second place Boston Red S0A made 1t two straight over the CleveT land Indians, winning by ., 6sto @ margin. It was Wesley Ferrell's sevA enth win. The Detroit Tigers failed to gain ground, succumbing II t0 2 before Q 14 hit Philadelphia AthA letic batting spree.
 Buck Newsom doled out seven hits as the Washington Senators damned the St. Louis Browns two gtraight 2 to 4.
