POSTAL SERVICE COMMENDED,

The daily press is INDUCING, in its
annual spasm over the announcement
OF the deficit in the operation Of the
Postoffice Department AS the amount
of expenses over earnings is $4,000, 600
several millions greater than ever
before-the spasm is relatively more
severe Nothing is said about the
deficit of S1OO.OOO.OOO in the War De-
partment. or the $115,OOO,OOO in the
Navy, or the $16O,OOO,OOO spent in
pensions.
While the Postoffice Department is
not a model Of economic management
compared to that of almost any large
corporation or firm. yet it is free from
scandals, and the alleged deficit" is
in reality fictitious. If all the other

matter the annual loss" would be
Insignificant; and, in any event, the
mail service is the one governmental
branch which is of most immediate
and personal service to the people, and
whatever the loss. real or apparent.
the service should be steadily enlarg-
ed and improved and the rate on

In a short time now the racing sea-
son of 1909 VIII be thing of the past.
What will happen next year on the
Local tracks remains to be seen. A
great deal will, of course, depend upon
court decisions as to betting. Time
was when Kentucky was the greatest
center of horse racing i'm the world,
but now they are beginning to take a
very pessimistic view of the situation.
According To the sporting editor of
The Louisville Herald, there can be
no question that racing is losing it's
grip to a certain extent, in even those
parts of the country where conditions
for it's fostering are most hopeful.
The recent fall meet at louisville
was a distinct disappointment as to
attendance, and thus far At Latonia
the crowds have been noticeable by
their absence. Most of the racing as
sociations lose money on their fall
meetings, and only regard them as do
nations to the cause of maintaining
the sport. for without the fail meets
the horsemen would be compelled in
many cases to sell their stables, or to
reduce them, or else starve.
Years of prosperity were enjoyed
by racing, but there crept into the
sport a class of hard men-of broken
gamblers, sure-thng operators, and
other obnoxious characters-which ell
ement had but one idea to make each
day pay it's toll to these parasites of
tn turf.
Despite the fact that many high
class sportsmen are associated with
racing and their names insure the
public square deal, there are thous-
ands of people who would attend the
races who do not go because they
know there is no rigorous censorship
of the people who are permitted to
watch the sport
They know that they must rub ell
bows. says the Louisville scribe. with
men who under no circumstances
could they meet on social equality,
and therefore. shun the track, al
though wishing thoroughbred racing
and it's promoters well. Getting rid
of the grafters is n task which racing
faces. but IL is a task beside which
Hercules feat of cleaning the Augean
stables is mere child's pastime.

NAVIN is STILL LOYAL
TO VANQUISHED TIGERS

New York, Nov Crank Navin
president of the Detroit American
league club, is spending a few days
here for recreation. 1t has required
much diversion TO enable him To "coOl
out" since the result of the recent
worlds series, which he thinks the
Tigers should have won from Pittsburg
in handy style.
Mr.. Nayln is a good loser. how
ever, and says that he has no fault
to find with the way Hugh Jcn-
nings handled the Tigers.
HE did his best" said the De-
troit magnate today "and so did
his players, 1t just so happened that
Donovan and Summers were not able
to pitch with their greatest effective
ness, which caused our defeat The
Pittsburgers, excepting Adams, were
weaker i'm the box than the Tigers and
should have been trimmed
We do not regard the Pirates as
the equals ,of the Cubs who beat
us for the worlds title year ago,
and that is why we are more dis
appointed by our failure To take the
recent series. However, it does not
do any good TO cry over spilled
milk and as the games cannot be
played over we are looking forward
TO another year

The present government of or
ganized baseball is responsible for the
prosperity beyond a question of
doubt. The rivalry between the AM

ed interest in wonderful manner

main unchanged.
II have not any idea whether there
will be changes in the playing rules

WOLVERINES ARE HARD
TO SIZE UP CORRECTLY

The Washington star remarks:--
The Michigan team is too far away
from us in the east To size up accu-
rately just at present Syracuse's
dOwnfall-42 to O-after holding Yale's
great team To 10 To o, may mean much
or little. one recalls In this connection
the rather strange fact that CO.
mmbia team Foster Sanford got to-
gethor ten years ago ana took Yale
by surprise and beat her in the early
October season, to 0. The score
painted on the fence at Mornlngslde
remains to this day.
Later on this same Columbia team
played the Indians and lost "A To 0.
This A TO score is not painted ON
is no difficulty, in remembering il be-
cause IL is one of the best examples
i'm the history OF the game OF the
fact that October football Is not No
vember football, and that il is no
small task to put even the best ma
terial in shape to play football Of the
latter variety.
Yost's teams have been. as a rule.
like some OF Pennsylvania famous
teams I'm years past, fast winners.
This years team would seem to follow
the rule. Syracuse was on the run, and
with the Michigan contingent on the
bleachers yelling delightedly for more,
the team seems to have struck a fast
gait. When Michigan meets Pennsyl-
vania, 1T will be interesting to see
what this rapld-fire offense will ac-
complish against eastern defensive
methods in more equal contest.

WANTS SHORTER SCHEDULE.
President johnson, of the American
League Favors Fewer Games.

Chicago. Nov. 6.--Ban Il. Johnson.
president of the American league, ia
vors a shorter schedule for the two
major leagues, instead of lengthening
the list of games, as proposed by
Charles w. Murphy. OF the Chicago
National league team.
The American league executive said
yesterday that he would favor a
schedule OF 14O games in the place OF
the 15i games series that was played
last year.
President Johnson says that the
short schedule would not work a
hardship on the club owners, except
perhaps those whose teams are well up
in the race.
The average game In the American
league after Sept. 20. according to
President Johnson, barely pays ex-

good dcfensvely as he is extensively
and that means a lot Time after time
he has circled the ends for good gains.
He plays splendid interference,
dives low when blocking and al
ways shows good judgement when
things go wrong.
"Borleske has an easy way of slip

within striking distance of his object,

Tn n recent interview, Addie Joss,

support which should be accorded a

"Who is the best pitcher" said
Addie when asked for his opinion.
..Thore isn't any best pitcher | never

hest and Fever shall. From time
IN time one man or another will be
hailed as the king OF them all. and
the fans will amuse themselves dis
cussing the matter.
"To my mind. the fact that no mans
record is consistently remarkable for
a term of years precludes the posi-
bility of picking the leader. One sea-
son II may be Mathewson, who APP
pears beest. another Brown, another
Mullln. another Donovan, and so on
down the list. Then. too, there are a
lot of good pitchers with poor clubs

"Take Walter Johnson, for instance.
Put him on the Chicago National
league club with it's fine defensive
work and he wouldn't lose five games
