ne Cneck IN CnlS amount
was received Monday by
Auditor George E. Bates from
the state office and it must be in
turn distributed to the townships.
State Auditor Ferguson is
said to have held up the check
for the county, due to rregul-
arities by certain county Off
cials.
This money is used for all road
and bridge work in the county
and should it be withheld indef-
initely, all work Of this nature
would cease.
However, it would be a matter
of several months before this
could happen as the Noble coun-'
ty commissioners still have bal
ance of $37, 100000 in this partic-
ular county fund and it would
take some time to exhaust this
amount in payrolls and road
work,
1t will be remembered that
State Auditor Ferguson paid a
surprise visit to Caldwell Tues
day, May IL, but could not find
Auditor Bates in his office.
The only commissioner avail
able was w. c. Toad Davis, who
bore the blunt of this fiery state
officials temper. Who came out
second best depends on what fac
ton you represent.
State Auditor Ferguson may
be having elevator" trouble in
Columbus but he was sufficient
ly interested in the alleged ir-
regularities in Noble county to
pay the officials a surprise
visit. ..~
In the meantime, his two repre-
sentatives or state examiners are
still in Caldwell making their an

apiece after the power laden Royals
waxed the Saints last night, 7-3.
st. Paul's pilot, Walt Aston, has
named another Highlander, Mel
Hines, to 90 against the Interna-
tional League champions tonight
Hines racked up an l1-and-6 record
this year, but his record of ia

team and contributed heavily to
the Saints capturing the American

Charlie Podbielan, q 13-and-S
pitcher during the regular season,
will start for Montreal. Both man
ayers are expected to be ready to
emtpy the bullpen If necessary, since
the series moves to Montreal after
tonight's game.
In last nights game, the Royals
exploded for two big innings to &C
count for all their runs. Jack Banta
was lifted in the ninth after st.

Hopper pulled out all the stops and
used two relievers-Frank Laga and
Don Newcombe-to handle the
Saints in their final turn at bat.
Banta looked impressive in strik-
ing out seven and giving only four
hits, though he also walked seven
He drove in two runs to help win
his own ball game.
For the Saints, Bankhead was
taken out in the second after two
runs had scored Charley Samaklis,
Morrie Martin and Jack Paepke fol-
lowed in fairly rapid succession and
all found the Royals dangerous.

| Braves Are Sunk
Bickford
Helps, Rice Says
By GrontIond Rice

! Special Correspondent Of The Sor
CLEVELAND, Oct. 8.-You should
know before long now whether
Johnny Sain is to have any help
in his World Series campaign
against Cleveland S aroused Indians.
Warren SPAIN, the southpaw, was
no such help in the second game
of the series yesterday, which Cleve-
land won between yaWns. Yes. I'm
afraid 1t was a dull game for all
involved, except the Indians.
A big part of the Braves series
burden new falls upon the right
arm of Vernon Edgell Bickford. He
must beat Gene Bearden, who
trimmed the Red Sox on Monday
In the American League playoff, in
the third game Of the series. Unless
Bickford can do this and give Saln
some help. the Braves will be sunk.
If Bickford can beat Bearden in
this third game, Sain is likely to win
the fourth game, but not tco likely.
For he must face Bob Feller again.
You can't keep beating Feller and
two-hit pitching. Only Feller isn't
likely to give you another two-hit
game. IF he does-he won't lose it.
1t takes no great philosopher-no
Socrates, Plato or Aristotle-to know
the Indians are much better ball
club than the Braves. I doubt that
even two Braves could make the In
dians. Maybe Bob Elliott-who has
been sour in this series. Always
Sain-the star of the job so far
The Indians have most of the
stars-topped by Lou Boudreau. the
most valuable shortstop since Hans
Wagner-the greatest of them all.
But the combination of Billy
southworth's management and Sain
can annoy the far better Indians
quite a little
