FAvoRs ONE CENT
LETTER POSTAGE

Postmater General Albert S
Burleson, recently appointed by
President Wilson to take charge o
the postal affairs of the United
States, is heartily in favor Of one
cent letter postage. He so an.
nounced himself to a delegation
representing the National One
Cent Letter Postage Association
which waited on him in Washing.
ton few days ago.
II am heartily in favor of one
cent letter postage declared
Postmaster General Burleson, wht
went on to explain that he hop
ed to bring it about just as soon
as revenues Of the department
could be adjusted.
The postmaster general told
the advocates of one cent letter
postage that he had long be-
ieved that their connection was
right. He stated, however, that
as head Of the department it was
his business to see that sufficient
revenue was raised to meet all
expenses and while he admitted
that there was a big surplus re-
ceived from first class mail each
year he added that it would be
necessary to make such an ad-
justment of rates as would put
the department on a business
basis.
Postmaster General Burleson is
strongly in favor Of putting the
postal department on an efficient
basis. He also favors adequate
compensation for postal employee
and such a readjustment of rates
as will permit the operation Of the
department in a business like
manner.
IT is the purpose of the pres
ent post office administration to
establish civil service rules
throughout the department, ap-
plying eventually even. to first
class postmasters.
Senator Theodore L. Burton
from Ohio, and Representative
Charles L. Bartlett from Georgia,
have re-introduced one cent lett
erg postage bills in the senate and
house OF representatives. These
bills call for the Inauguration Of
one cent letter postage by July l
Of this year.
Senator Burton has long cham
pioned the battle for one cent
letter postage, while Representa-
tive Bartlett has favored the
cheaper rate for many years.
A strong advocate for the lower
rate has appeared in the person
of Hon. James j. Britt Of Ashe-
vile, N. q. Mr.. Britt recently re-
tired from the position Of third
assistant postmaster general.
Upon being asked for his opinion
of one cent letter postage, he ex-
pressed it in no uncertain tone.
"I am heartily in favor, declar-
ed Mr.. Britt, 'Tof the immediate
reduction Of letter postage from
two cents an ounce to one cent
per ounce for these reasons:
cit will promote general intel
ligence, and will improve the So
cial relations of the people;
cit will adyanc the business
interests Of the country, by lower
ing the cost Of communication !;
"The rate Of one cent an ounce
for letters, with the increase OF
mail-matter which the reduction
will induce, will defray the cost.
Of handling and transportation.
But few public questions are OF
such vast concern to- the great
body Of the American people, and
I earnestly hope it may receive
the early and serious attention
Of the congress. =

The New Dairy Law Now
In Force In Minnesota
New Measure is Intended to Strengthen
And Aid in the Enforcement Of
Dairy Laws

The following is the text of
the new law regulating the dairy
industry, and was enacted at
the recent session Of the legisla-
ture. The new measure is in
tended to strengthen and aid in
the enforcement Of the dairy
laws.
It will be Of interest to all pa
irons, to know just what is requir
ed Of them, and also what isre-
quired Of the buttermaker. Do
not lay this aside until you un-
derstand everything thoroughly.
Note that the party accepting
cream which is not within the
requirements Of the law is equal
" subject to fines and imprison-
ment as we'll as the one who Of
fers the product for sale. The
law excuses no one, and therefore
to plead ignorance will be Of no
avail. Cream, to be fresh, will
have to be delivered at least
three times a week in the sum-
mer time; two times a week in
the winter. "A close watch will
be kept on all deliveries and those
not within the requirements Of
the law will be rejected. No
matter if the facilities for keep
ing the cream on the farm are
ever so good, three days ought
to be the limit if it's to be fresh
when delivered. Kindly bear in
mind. that | am not, urging this
without a just reason. l am de-
sirous Of protecting our patrons
and am always glad to give as
sistance whenever | can, and take
this opportunity to warn all at
this early date, that all may
guard against losses from ignor-
ing the law. These laws were
enacted in the interest of the
local and cooperative creameries
and we should be ready with a
welcome hand. sg5s
g The new law is simply an
amendment to an existing law,
the new part, being set here in
bold type. /.

 When the ninth renewal of the Al berta- Derby is run off at Calgary to- morrow, it will be on modern track with the skyscrapers of a modern, hustling city as a background. The spectators will be largely eosmepoli- tans from all over America and Flu rope, in appearance and sartoriaI ef- fects little different from a race course crowd in Montreal or New York. Here and there in the assemblage. however, the dusky face of a half-breed, or the characteristic habiliments that mark the bronzed and staIwart weaFer as one of the last of the disappearing tribe of cowpunchers, will recall to the A1berton pioneer memories of oth- CT days when the west was wild and woolly,- and when "hoss-racing'' in in- fant Calgary lacked all the polite ac- compartments that will mark tomor- rows race.
 When Calgary was little more than a cowboy camp, the sport of kings had it's devotees, and a crude race course was laid out on which to. de eide the differences 0f opinion that make ehoss' races.'' In those good old days there were no paris-mutuels, nor bookmakers to aS& as middlemen be- tween the gentIer, en of sporting pro- clivities who wished to back their judgment And in those days, too, bet ting on the races was no mere mat ter of risking a few dollars, or a few hundreds Any gent who didn't have sufficient confidence in his abil- ity to judge horsef1esh to wager every cent he possessed on the result was considered piker and a bum sport

ENGLISH SPORTS TELL
 WHY OUR BOXERS WIN

Chicago, July 2-The London Times takes a column of serious space to discuss the reasons for the apparent supremacy of American boxers over those of England The Times criti- cizes the English idea that everyone must aght or box by note and thinks that the American method of utiliza- ton of physical fitness or freak anat- ony may have something to do with it In discussing this physical side of the question the Times says:
 Amain, as regards the production of desh and blood fighting machines, America is naturally ahead of Eng land On the ether side of the Allan tic the processes of racial miscegena- ton are constantly creating physical freaks, which may be turned to &C., count by the impressario of profes- siouai athletes. If a boxer without a chin and with no more than ''tracesP (as the mining assayeF puts it) of a so- lar plexus be required, he is speedily forthcoming in the form of some com plex hybrid whose racial derivation could only be expressed in a formula resembling those used in organic chem- 5stry- It must be admitted. however, that the finest American heavyweights leaving out the negro haIf-castes) of the present generation were of Anglo Saxon origin FftzsiHnfons whose tre- meHdoIzs hitting did so much to justify the old F. R. dictum that twelve stone man is heavy enough to beat anybody, was Cornishnan by birth, Corbett and Sharkey were of English ancestry
 After labelling us a race of hybrids and calling Corbett andS Sharkey near EngIiahmen. the writer gets down to the nub of the argument and really hits the nail with a resounding thunp- Here Is his real argument:
 'sThe truth is that the American style Is appreciablyY better, more adaptabIe and more Eesourceful than that which is taught, by precept and by practice, to the English boxer in the days of his apprenticeship
 .-The English stylea is stereotyped to a degree; the pupil, Instead of being allowed to develop shis natural gifts, ia compelled to adopt a traditional at- titude and to lead. guard. counter, side step. duck, etc. according to hard and fast rules. One of the commonest re- suits Of a course of instruction which ignores the personal equation is the loss Of his punc31-a loss which can seldom or never be made good in the years to come by taking thought In American schools of boxing, on the other hand, the instructor encourages his aoviceS to make the most of their peculiar gifts, allowing them to teach one another in frequent inproviso contests, and merely pointing out al the end what mistakes have been com rnftted and how they may be best rem edied. Experience has shown that an sne1iuctive Knowledge of leading guarding eountering and lodging IS most srseediIy acquired in loose play win "a variety of opponents. And with it is gradually gained that ca pacftz of sizing up an opponent and caapttuz oners methods to his case Sfich is the basis of all ringeraft."

LAJ0E AHD WAGNER
 MAY QUIT z0eE TIER

Recent developments have esuszd questiopings among the fans As tD whether the passing of two f5mous players, one in each of the major or- ganizations, was not pending. Man ageF Birmingham s annogmcexy&ent that he intended taking Larry IeAjefs, cue of the regular lineup and aasing himl for pinch hitting service, AcaFne aM a surprise and has arouseR a eonaHao- ton.
 'Larrys" injury has kept him fFam working in prime form for seuas time, but there are no signs that taeFa ts anything the matter with what is probabiy the keenest natural batting eye that ever looked over the hnEse- hide as it sped platewaFds.
 Followers of the game are Watchfr1s with not a little solicituds the 0sibE come of this Cleveland deveIopnaeIi1, as they are one in Pittsburgh, T4VE5srs Wagner, whose name is a fanailfdrs one wherever baseball is known, has been for some unexplained reason Out of the Pittsburgh lineup recently Wag- ner has hit for .329 so far this season by unofficial sverages, but Tte also has been handicapped by tnjHry, which may have slowed him down.
 Eajoie's u1timatum tlIGt he will not sit on the bench, even in the import ant role of a pinch-hitteF. may have been distorted in the telling, although Larry undoubtedly does resent being dropped from regular standing after 1s years of service. The peculiar angle of the situation develops in fhs person of Nap's successor in the regu- lar lineup, none other than Tuck Turner. Looking back to the Brad ley-Lajoie-Turner days how many would have picked the cotton top as the probable last survivor of the triumvirate? Yet, in spite of many 'reverses and a lot of hard luck, Terry now does loom as the last of the great infield, holding his own in spite oz throwing arm that threw him out of his old shortstop job several seasons back.

BrOOkIawn Tennis Star Beats T. R. PeIl for Metropolitan
 Championship

Theodore R Pell met with an un- expected reverse on the tennis court yesterday. when he was defeated in the final round for the Metropolitan lawn tennis singles championship in New York by W. M Washburn in Of Is. 6-1. 9-T. 6-1- The match. which was played at the West Side Tennis club. was postponed ten days, towing to the death of Pell's father-in-1a8.
 The defeated man suffered from the heat, which did not appear to affect the younger player to any extent. PelE did not warm up to his work and failed to hit the ball with his accus- toned rigor. while many of his shots went outside the lines. Washburn was near the top; of his game and af- ter the first set was always master of the situation.

RUSSELL'S POKE
 SAVES OUR BACON
Timely Double and Roultes' Single Win from
 Waterbury
(Ry Wagnerl

All night long they call him Pussy Russell. Even if he has one of those dead rabbit haircuts. the brunette backstop is the idol of the ladies and gentlemen fans. The sun was sink ing behind the smeFting works yester- day afternoon when One HosS Shea stood on second with two out and Wa terbury ahead by 5 to f. But our hero slapped a, double to left and One Hoss trotted home, while Mons. Lucien Geryais executed a Parisiaa glide on the coaching line. Then up came Jolly Jake Boultes with 3. ring ing single to left, scoring Russell with the hurrah tally. And Gene Kelly had lost another $10 bet.
 Slapper Sam Kennedy, the Water bury manager, who had been feeling words with Monte Cross after the game because when our manager de- naanded the ball, Catcher Nagelson had escaped with the Victor and Monte rushed around to the box office and told Secretary Reddy to take SIPS out of the receipts. The visitors had al- ready received their mazunaa, however, so 'Slapper got a ball if he didn't get a game
 Blossom Blum pitched we'll for the home talent after the third. The vis- itors had annexed -four runs in that tune, a nome Dy EOfnOnSOn W1t1 a man on base being costly. Hinton, a college heaver from Arkansas who was sent to Waterbury by Cleveland, started for the visitors. He was wild and Bridgeport got to him for a cou- pie in the opener. He breezed along until the fifth when Kennedy derrick ed the youngster after he had passed two, hit a batsman and furnbled a grounder.
 Boardman was sent in with the bases filled and one run needed to tie. Jake Boultes worked him for a pass and the score was 4 to 4. Then Adams famed and retired the side.
 A high throw by Bou1tes enabled Waterbury to go one, ahead in the ninth but Bridgeport won out as told above. Buster Bowman Aelded in stellar style and got a pair of hits. Quincy Adams played we'll at first but couldn't touch the left handlers. He managed to draw two passes The score: &

THINKS JOE MANDOT
 IS GREAT FIGHTER
(By T. S. Andrews )

Tommy Walsh, the manager of Joe Mandot, and former promoter of New Orleans, was caller this week Tom my is acting as scout for Tom Mo Carey of Los Angeles and also doing a little skirmishing for Jimmy Coff- roth of Frisco. He is one entfusias- elc manager about Mandot and cannot De convinced otherwise than that Joe is one of the greatest Iightwefghts in the world today. Talking of the fight game on the coast Tommy said: MT. carey has some big matches in sight for the fall season, which will include some of the best 133 and 116 pounders in the world, also some of the real teatherWe1ghts- I have been casting about for the best of the light weights for Uncle Tom.' I look for Joe Rivers 10 give Rtchie great battle July 4, but the odds should favor Ritchie Both are native born and a tremen- dous crowd will see them at San Fran cisco. I also look for just as big a crowd at Los Angeles when Bud An derson meets Leach Cross. This An derson is no spring chicken, being about 28 years of age, but he is well preserved and strong as a bull. Mir Cross will know he has been in a fight. Harlem Tommy Murphy is another boy well thought of out there and you
 
 things they say about Pal Brown, the Minnesota light weight McCarey, understand, Is after Brown to put against some of the stars in the fall and if he makes good he will be matched against Ritchie for the cham pionship, providing Willie hangs on to it, which I think he will do. Charlie White of Chicago is another 133 pound CT who has gained a lot of respect from the coast promoters of late by his victories down south. A peculiar feature of the betting on the coast just now is the fact that the Rivers and Ritchie fight will be practically at eVenS money, something unusual in a title match. Sentiment may sway the fans at the last moment to favor Rit- chic and make him ten to eight fla voFite, but it will be only sentiment, for Southern California will back Riv- CTS heavily. There will be another championship fight in which the cham the short end. That will be the John ny Coulon-Kid Williams match at Los Angeles, July 29. Coulon will not be better than even money and the chan ces are Williams will be faverite in the betting The Los Angeles fans are very close observers of the game and they will pay the price to see the best men in action. They have seen Will Hams whip their pride, Eddie Campi, and they will figure that he will be too hard a nut for Johnny to crack Tommy will remain east for a few weeks and then return west and begin this coming fall. He is also after Young saylor, the Hoosier light weight, to enter the elimination series of bouts out west.
