Ned Harris
Will Stick
with Tigers
BY WATSON SPOELSTRA


oLAKELAND, Fla, April g.
(R-Robert (Ned) Harris is an
other young Tiger who has new
er visited Detroit or seen Briggs
stadium.
The 24-year-old Harris, who
ranks with pitcher Hall White
as the cream of Detroit's rookie
crop, is up for a second time
from the Beaumont farm club
of the Texas League. He not on
ly is destined to stick with the
American League champions but
may wrest the right field job
from Bruce Campbell and Tuck
Stainback before the season is
well advanced.
Harris batted .312 at Beau
mont last season to rank third
in the league among those play
ers participating in 100 or more
games: A left-handed batter,
he gave indications here before
sustaining a broken nose a week
ago that he can hit major league
pitching.
Harris also throws from the
left side and is rated as a fine
defense player. His only appar-
ent flaw Is a weak throwing
arm. Sent back to Beaumont
last spring because of this de-
ficiency, Harris came up with
20 assists from his outfield posi-
ton.
Harris has an excellent
arm," Jack Zeller, Tiger gener-
al manager, has assured man.
ager Del Baker. He always
starts slow in the spring but
there seems to be nothing wrong
with his throwing when the sea-
son gets under way"
Harris, a native of Ames, Ia,
but who now makes his home at
West Palm Beach, Fla, was
signed for the Tigers in 1888 by
scout Eddie Goosetree. He was
attending the University of Ala
bama at the time and playing
semi-professional baseball.

netted a 1875. He then fired
games of 229 and 1914. The an
Choir man. Albert Glefke, rolled
131-194-180.
Members of the other Mount
Clemens teams likewise found
the alleys strange and found it
difficult to crack the pins in
their first attempts. Most of the
bowlers boosted their scores
from 20 to 40 points in their last
two games.
Rosso Sports Shop was aided
considerably by the rolling of
Wilton Rivard. who fired second
high with a 601 on games Of
188-215-198. Bowlers who
slipped q bit on the team were
Ray Capron, who could do no

Each State had its own rates for
intrastate postage. The restricted
authority of the central Government
during this period affected the pos
tai system in much the same way
as it did all trade and intercourse
between the new States.
Article I, Section 8, of the Federal
Constitution says: The Congress
shall have power to establish post
Offices and post roads AS the
country began to develop, it became
necessary to establish some sort Of
communication with the western
territory. After some discussion,
liberal interpretations of the Con-
stitution prevailed, and In 1892
money was appropriated for the
- building of post road from
Richmond, Va, to Danville, KY.
Thus began the governmental.policy
of following civilization with the
post Office and of subsidizing the
pioneers by means of the best COM
munications with their former
homes. During this period Samuel
Osgood of Massachusetts was serving
as postmaster general.
Congress also passed in 1892 the
first bill in regard to postage rates.
The rates of 1882 had been con-
tinued in force up to that time.
The new scale ranged from charge
of cents for distances under 80
miles to Is cents for distances over
$50 miles These rates remained in
force until 1845 with few changes.
In 1914, however, bill was passed
by Congress raising the rates fifty
per cent in an effort to secure money
to pay off debts incurred during the
War of 1872. The change caused
no little complaint and the old
scale was resumed in 1916.
I'm 1886 in order to speed up the
dissemination of news and the de-
livery of important papers, Con-
gress authorized express service. The
express mails consisted of newspaper
summaries, stock quotations, letters
at triple rates of postage and public
dispatches. The means of trans
mission was by horseback at about
II or IL miles an hour, night or day,
regardless of weather. The service
was installed between st. Louis,
Nashville and New Orleans during
1886 and 1887. The usual time of
delivery of mail was reduced to
about half by this means-the last
improvement of Importance in the

Next to holding national bridge
tourney in the National Capital,
Washington players glory most IN
having one at the Virginia capital,
and thus it is that local players
are filled with enthusiasm over the
prospects of the 18th annual tour
nament which will open in Rich
mond on Monday, December l,
and continue throughout the week.
For months Richmond has been
making elaborate preparations for
the meeting, the first that the
American Contract Bridge League
has ever held in the South. The
citv has donated $1,000 for enter
tainment of its guests on this oc-
casion, and the fans are going
there upon special invitation OF the
Mayor.
When the last national winter
meet was held in Philadelphia In
December, 1910, Washington play
ers were instrumental in promoting
the decision of the league to hold
the coming tournament in Rich
mond. and in consequence they feel
duty bound to give it their noeral
patronage.
The schedule provides for 13
events during the week, OF which
five are classed as championship
matches. five non-championship
and three as special games. The
latter includes three open-palr
-.a. IN difforept dayS
The opening of the tournament
on Monday is designated as South
ern hospitality night. The City OF
Richmond and the Richmond
Bridge Association will welcome the
league and its players in monster
duplicate game open to all regard
less of membership in the league.
The play will be organized in sec
tions and the aim Of the promoters
is that the number of participants
shall exceed all records in the his
tory of such meets.
The program of the champion
ship matches will be continued on
Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons
with the women's team-of-four
championship for the Charles E.
Coffin Trophy. This event will be
held in three sessions, one on Thurs
day and two on Friday. The mixed
pair championship for the Olga j..
Hillard Trophy also will be In three
sessions, on Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday. The open-pair
championship, classic Of the tourna-
ment, will be in four sessions, the
first qualifying session on Saturday
afternoon. the second that evening,
the semi-final Sunday morning and
the final Sunday afternoon.
In the nn-championship lists,
the first event will be the mems
individual game, designed to give
men q chance to win master points.
Second on the non-championship
list will be the open pair game for
beginners and junior pairs. Next
will be the open pair game for the
