An English postmaster general would
earn the gratitude Of plenty of people
who are proud TO think that England
was the first country TO print a really
fine stamp. ii he would somewhat get
that country provided with a stamp
which did not look cheap and nasty.
Why not go back TO the splendid old
dark reds and dark blues and dark

of their runs. The three they scored In the

and Burbank went out short and third to

third covered. After that neither side
could get man over the pan until the
seventh. when Commerce and Labor went
to pieces and Justice scored four more
on a hit and four errors. C. Beckett pitch
ed great game for Justice, allowing but
five hits and striking out ten men. The
Commerce and Labor batters were at his
mercy the whole way. In the fifth they
were retired In one-two-three order on
strikes. Mcmahon had great day with
the stick, getting two doubles and two

marian. although there was no discharge
OF blood from the horses mouth.
1t was evident at the start of the race
that Sadie Mac was not in good form. Her
footing was uncertain and she Travelled
badly The betting turned toward Zephyr
after the first heat, and later Angola

in the fourth heat. and as she led around
the quarter turn the crowd got the i'm
preston that she had finally struck her
gait and was out to win. The hope was
Of short duration. Angola was in the lead
down the backstretch and had compar-
atiyely easy journey home. and the other
horses passed Sadie Mac one by one. She
was the last into the stretch, and as the
leaders passed under the wire she stag
gered and fell just outside the distance

struck the ground.
That was the last heat in the race for
the day. and it goes over until today.
