A way to give the United States a

violating the law against acceptance
Of gratuities by the government. has
been found by William Ronaine of
San Francisco. He inclosed an un-
used but Cancelled IS postage stamp
in Fourth Of July note to Postnas-
ter General Burleson, wishing Uncle
Sam many happy returns.
Post cards bearing uncanceled
stamps In quantities are the very
latest thing in making contributions
to the government to help win the
war. City Postmaster Chance declared
today.
Cards are arriving at the city post
office daily from all parts Of the
United States bearing, in addition to
the proper postage, uncanceled post
age stamps Of varying determinations.
Uncle Sam, Washington. d. c." So

Sometimes the stamps have the initials

Tigers Open Here Today

with the Browns having gone their
way. cheated of chance to make 1t
four straight over the Nationals by a
hard storm that prevented yesterdays
team that along with tho Indians thus
far this season has proved the easiest
Tigers. Of the nine games played
with Jennings outfit to date the Ma
tionals have won six. having split
even in four games on Detroit's for
mer visit here. while they took four
out of Ave from the Jungaleers in the
Michigan metropolis. But the Tigers
are q different looking outfit now than
they were then. Ty Cobb has started
members Of the club has been readily
apparent. The Georgian had a hard
time getting started this season, and
for weeks after the campaign got un-
der way was under the 800 mark. but
In the last month he has forged his
way from sixteenth place into the van
guard among the swatters of the
League. He made two more hits yes
terday. and now tops his nearest rival
Sisler-by sixteen points.
A lot of valuable ground was lost
of the Browns. The leading Red Sox
now are fve full games IN front of
the Nationals. while the Yanks and
Indians both are two and a half
games ahead of the local outfit. II
the Washington club can maintain the
western contingent that 1t has estab-
ltshed 10 date. much of this ground
should be made up. Thus far the
Grins have split even in eight games
with the White Sox. Shaw probably
will get the assignment to do the
pitching for the Griffs today, although
Johnson has had sufficient rest and
may be called.
