not believed that the Tigers, or any
other team in the country, has a
stronger line than the midshipmen this
year. The Navy bacRfield is also power
full and experienced, and not to be out

After the game yesterday against
Johns Hopkins, which the Navy won
by p to 5 in "a minutes of actual play
ing time, Head Coach Douglas Howard
expressed himself as much pleased
with the progress the team has made in
the two weeks of practice. He said,
however, that the, team must beware
Of oVerCOntidence. For that reason
there will be little special preparation
for the Princeton game, and every one
here would much prefer the loss of a
possible victory than to have the team
pass it's zenith in mid-season. AS in
former years everything will be subor-
dinated TO the main idea of bringing
the team to its highest possible foEm

Giants Favored by
FrenZied Gotham Fans

Betting on the coming games for the
baseball championship of the world
finds the New York Giants favored by
the sports and fans everywhere. This
might have Eeen foreshadowed. Where
can you find a New Yorker who does
not dote on those Giants? Even when
they are hopelessly in the ruck, the
Gotham fan can orate Ey the hour, CIV
ing lengthy explanations why they are
not winning. Usually there is O clique
against the team or the umpires are
rObhing them. But the ground work is
always the same,-there is no team in
the world to compare with those Giants.
And so now that they have corped the
National League flag, they are the
favorites in the betting. And wise old
Connie Mack is satisfied that this is so,
for those who back the Athletics will
make more money If their heroes land
the worlds title for the second sue
ceSsiVe time.

Gallaudet College had no great trouble
in beating Baltimore City College at
Kendall Green yesterday by II to 0.
The game was replete with fumbling,
because of the wet ground, and in
ability to hold the ball cost GaIlaudet
at least two touchdowns. The indi-
vidual star of the afternoon was
Captain Battiste, of Gallaudet, who
made several sensational runs.

Mr.. BLouNT's PROTEST
To the Honorable State Democratic
Executive Committee of Florida:

To the Honorable State Democratic
Executive Committee of Florida:
In the recent primary held for the
election of person TO be chosen by
the legislature as United States sena-
tor for Florida for the term beginning
March 4, 1911, the face of the returns
before you apparently show that Mr..
N. P. Bryan has been selected by the
white voters of the state of Florida as
such person.
Believing, as do, that he has not
been so selected by the deliberate
Judgment of majority of such voters,
/ beg to put before the people OF the
state of Florida, through you, their
highest political representative body
the causes for my belief.
1. There are strong indications
that what purports to be elections held
in various precincts at which Mr.. Bry-
an received majorities were not cleo
lions, because they were so irregular
ly and invalidly conducted as to rem
der them null and void; and yet the re-
turns from such precincts are includ-
ed in the county returns, showing the
apparent majority for Mr.. Bryan and
compiled by you.
2. There are strong indications
that evidence exists that at various
precincts the elections in which were
under the control of partisan support
ers of Mr.. Bryan, and that votes were
cast for me which were not included
in the county returns compiled by you.
g. That shortly prior to the said
primary Mr.. Bryan published in the
newspapers in the city of Jacksonville
and distributed by circulars through
out the state in large numbers let
ter written by me in December, 1909,
Withdrawing from a senatorial pri-
mary then pending, such publication
in such newspaper and by such circu-
lars being in such form, and being in
tended to be in such form as to pro-
duce the belief in the minds of the
voters that had withdrawn from the
senatorial contest to be voted on in
the primary of January 31st, 1911. And
there are strong indications that evil
dence exists that large number of
persons who intended to vote for me,
and who would have voted for me, re-
Trained from going to the polls and
voting for me, because of the belief
that I had withdrawn from the race,
and that elections in precincts where
| would have received large major
ity of the votes were not held because
of such belief

said primary Mr.. Bryan published and
caused to be published in newspa-

COUNTRY TRADE AND THE PAR
GEL POST

A country merchant in New Eng
land writes US:
"My experience in competing with
mail-order houses leads me to think
a parcel-post system would be bene-
fit to me rather than an injury. Quite
often, if one of my customers could
buy from a mail-order house some
small article that struck his fancy
and have the article delivered cheaply
by post, that would be the extent of
his mail-order purchase. But he does
not want to pay high express charges
on the article, so he and his neigh
bors will pore over the catalogue
and pick out enough goods to make
a freight shipment. The result is that
the mail-order house instead of sell
ing five pounds, sells hundred
pounds or more
How many other country merchants
would find the same condition among
their customers with respect to mail
order business? Isn't there, in fact,
a continual drumming up of trade for
mail-order houses by purchasers who
wish their neighbors to join them, in
order to make up bulky shipment
by freight and avoid high express
charges? So far as we know, mail,
order houses have never taken any
particular interest in the parcels-post.
Is this because they are satisfied with
a scheme that induces purchasers to
buy in bulk? This phase merits con-
federation.
The parcels post, limited to rural
delivery routes as recommended by
the president, would certainly benefit
| the country merchant. We doubt that
an extension of the system would
really injure him. Saturday Evening

One pair of muckrakers have come

Standard Oil Company with injurious

pay it the magazine and its writer
