Four Doubtful Jobs
On Annapolis Team

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Oct. 13-Though
the Naval Academy team is better
shaken down than Is usual So early
in the season. there is still much doubt
as to the final filing Of at least two
positions in the line. ami as many In
the backield Weems at center and
Elme. at left guard are the doubtful
men in the line, while Sowell Is by no
means certain to hold the quarterback
position against Shaw, and there are
at least four men to be considered for
the halfback position made vacant by
the graduation Of Clay.
weems played a very successful game
at center last year. though he weighed
about 160 pounds. He Is very strong
and active. and Is nearly ten pounds
heavier this year, but Is being given a
hard fight by Ingram. who outweighs
him about ten pounds, Elmer is not
doing the best work at guard, though he
weighs 200. and is very strong. He
may be pushed aside by Wakeman. a
man twenty pounds lighter. at almost
any time.
Shaw Is easily sowell's equal as IL
football general, and runs better through
heavy, however. and not SO sure of a
short gain when q few yards are des-
perateiy needed. McPeavey. Nichols,
Collins, and Leonard are all possibili-
ties at left halfback. Dalton. right
half; Rodes, full; Hamilton, left end |;
Brown. left tackle; Howe, right guard
DAVIS, right tackle. and Gilchrlst, right
their places. and are not likely to be
diSpOSseSSed.

We haven't heard much OF Danforth
the Athletics big southpaw, but there
ID a chance that he may be worked
against the Giants in the worlds series
Danforth has more than made good this
year wit hthe Mackerels. but, outside
Of Philadelphia, few fans know any
thing about him. Connie Mack expects
this big Texan to round into one OF the
best lefthanders in the major leagues.
He is eligible to play in the coming
series and. in case some veteran Is nam
mered from the hill, may be sent to the
slab. In three innings yesterday against
the AllStars he famed four men ana
allowed but one hit.

BOB TtiAYER'S SPORTING GOSSIP
-"EVERY KNOCK IS A BOOST"
It's almost here, that series.

"Stuffy" McInnes, the Athletics crack
young first baseman, tried to play yes
terday and failed to show any form Tor
the greatest games Of the year. AS
told in The Times Wednesday, this
player cannot swing a bat nor throw
a ball with his usual strength or accu-
racy, and his performance yesterday
carried out what was said in The Times.
Connie Mack says little, but 1t is known
that he counts on Harry Davis to start
the series against the Giants. II Davis
falls down, Claude Derrick will be sent
into the game. Davis Is a veteran suf-
fering from lack of practice. having sat
on the bench most Of the year. Der
rick Is a youngster who may blow
up." In either case, the American
League champions will suffer through
the absence OF McInnes.

THE MAGNANIMoUs MR.. MADERo.

rectiOn in Mexico. which was successful has been
elected president of Mexico by practically
unanimous vote. The successful leader of a rev.
olution in Latin American republic usually sue
ceeds also at the polls, when it is found expedient
TO resort - such process. Mr.. Madero, however,
according 10 an interview with correspondent of
the United Press, is not pleased with the
suit was tc be expected. OF course he is salts
fed that Mexico has made the best possible
choice but the method of the choosing was he
says. all wrong
Presidtnt-elec Madero is pledged to a system
Of universal suffrage, extended to the hundreds
Of thousand. of poems who can neither read

droveS under the direct dictation of their fore
man. Mr.. Nadcro may express confidence in an
electorate OF this sort, but being AN educated
man who has read history and is not blind to
facts, he should know better The easiest avenue
for the tyrant is found i'll the control by purchase
or intimidation Of just such an electorate Every
student OF history knows that government by
agnosocracy, those who know nothing is the
greatest convenience for a dictator or an oil
garchy.
Mr. Madero expresses his anxiety that his
views should be made clear to the American peo-
pie. and emphasizes the fact that he is progress
sive, not conservative" We are inclined to
think that the American people, at this juncture
are not much concerned in Mr. Naderos view
in President Matcro'S actions 1t will be time
enough to judge of Madero's progressveness
after he has been in office year or two and a

THE ENORMOUS COST OF DISTRIBUTION.

The Turlock Journal tells of the very meagre
returns that land owners of that section get for
their fruits and vegetables while the consumer
pay big prices for what he must buy Recent
returns from sales of Turlock watermelons in
the northwest show that crops which the grow
ers had to sell at $3.50 to $50 ton brought
the seller in Oregon $40 to $50 ton That mar
ket IS long ways from Turlock, but freights
are low and the ocean route is open to shippers
II the railroad tariff is found high The differ
tnce between the price to the grower and the
cost to the consumer is so great as to excite
wonder, and to suggest that something is radi-
cally wrong with the methods of distribution in
this country.
But if we extend our observations we see
the same extraordinary disparity in other coun-
tries, Nor is it confined to food products We
find an example in point noted in a recent issue
OF the Galveston News. A German farmer in
Texas put letter III bale of cotton he mar
keted last year requesting the manufactures into
whose hands it should finally fall to acquaint
hlm with its ultimate cost and destination The
farmer sold the cotton at railroad station in
Texas for l4l2 cents pound, which is a fancy
price for cotton at the initial point of shipment
short time ago the farmer received a let
ter from manufacturer III the interior of Rus
STA stating that he had received the bale and
that the cost of the cotton to him was 40 CENTS
a pound. How it managed to increase its price
from l4l2 cents to 40 cents a pound between the
point OF production and the point of consumption
is something of mystery. The bale Of cotton
went by rail to Galveston, thence by ship to
Riga and from Riga was transported by rail to
the vicinity of Moscow, distance Of several
hundred miles. Freight, insurance, storage, hand
ling and the profits of middemen had added
nearly 200 per cent to the original cost
However, there are some still more remark
able examples to be found near home Tomatoes
which are sold by the producer for cents a
pound packed cost the consumer from to Z
cents "a pound in market less than so miles
from the field in which they are grown The
cost of transportation is small. Who gets the
difference and why?
