full expectancy and others somewhat
less. The quality was also lowered.
In face Of these conditions, 1t Is found
that during the months of September
and October. the total amount Of con.
tract wheat marketed and inspected
vas about 20 million bushels, which
realized q total Of 1914 million dollars.
tho average price for this wheat be-
ing 97A cents; that below contract
for the two months was a little over
Is million bushels. which at an aver
age price Of 89h cents per bushel
realized q little over eleven million
dollars. or a grand total for all wheat
OF IS million bushels. which realized
. total of a little over t~hirty-one mil
lion dollars.
On the first OF November, there
was In the hands Of the farmers OF
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta
for sale and seed about 100 million
bushels OF wheat, from which fact
some idea may be had OF the value
OF the wheat crop Of 1911.

has been caused by the bad weather
and difficulty in threshing, wheat has

cost Of production and freight 68 cts.
and would leave the farmer an actual
margin on his low-grade wheat OF
17A cts. and for his high-grade wheat
Of 1919 cts; and though this is not
as large a profit as the farmer has
every right to expect. 1t is a profit
not to be despised. and which should
leave a very fair amoun of money to
his credit when all the expenses Of
the year have been paid. unless the
value OF low-grade wheat sinks very
much below its present level.

That the presence Of Jake Stahl on the
Boston team will add materially to the

conceded. and there are those who con-
tend that with Stahl playing first and do

DISCUSSES QUESTIONS
Many Subjects of Importance
Debated and Athletic Field
Is Considered.

Al a meeting yesterday afternoon OF

OF the Mckinley Manual Training
School. Mr.. Clarence ". HccoN was re-
elected director of foot ball for next year
and Mr. j. r. SInitE was elected director
of base ball for the coming season
This meeting was called principally 10
take "a line of action on the widely
discussed subject, Tho Need of an Ath-

was unanimously adopted: Resolved.
That this committee hereby requests the
principal Of this school to present at the
first convenient meeting of the five high
a general athletic field for practice and
request them to investigate ways and
means Of securing this field. and make
recommendations to the superintendent
urging him to take appropriate action
looking toward the accomplishment OF
the above purpose.
In speaking on the subject one member
OF the committee remarked: The high
schools Of this city labor under great
disadvantage In the lack OF an athletic
field. We should have conveniently 10

high schools. where the athletic teams

Either Pennsylvania or Prince

Eleven Next Year.

With tho present foot ball season grad
ualJv drawing to n close. Manager Lilo
cIot Is starting work on the schedule of
the RIue and Gray gridiron warriors for
the season OF 1912 With the plans be-
ing discussed there arises the possibility
OF either Pennsylvania or Princeton COM
ing TO Washington to play the Hilltop
pers next year. and. although such a
game is year away. there seems to be
every incentive for battle between the
West Enders and one OF these above
mentioned aggregations.
A game between Georgetown and either
PENNSYLVANIA or Princeton would I'M
doubtedly be q great success both f1nan-
cially and from sporting standpoint.
There are a great number of graduates
Of the Red and Blue and Orange and
Black institutions. besides the large num-
Der OF supporters of these institutions
which are in this vicinity. A record
breaking crowd would in all probability
be in attendance at the struggle between
the aggregation from over the creek and
either tho team from New Jersey or
Pennsylvania, as the case may be. IL
this game can be finally arranged II will
most probably be an annual AFFAIR and
one which Will attract nearly as much
interest as the Virgfnta-Ge0rgetOWn game.
In all probability arrangements between

will call for a game to be played In the
home cities of each eleven every other
year Thus II the Hilltoppers are to be
matched with Pennsylvania the aggrega-
lions would alternate in playing at Wash
ington and Philadelphia.
Georgetown has been making rapid
strides In foot ball circles In the last few
years, and II she continues to improve In
the future. as rapidly as she has been do
ing in the past the West Enders need not
fear to meet the best college teams In the
country. AS late as 1900 the hilltop In
stitution did not play any foot ball teams
Of note. with the exception of Virginia.
but this year the Blue and Gray squad
has been matchd with such teams as the
Army. Indians. Virginia and Lehigh. and
although the two latter games have not
been played as yet, 1t Is most probable
that Georgetown will continue to put up
winning game. as the Blue and Gray
eleven Is the favorite in both these con-
tests. With such an advancement being
made in the Eridiron sport at the hilltop
university II should not be difficult to ar
| range games with any OF the big college
| teams in the country, and Washington
will without the least doubt be treated
to an even higher class of games Of foot
ball than it was this season.

tribute paid a retiring manager than that
given Clark Griffith by the Cincinnati
players who over their signatures request
ed his retention by the Cincinnati ciup.
No matter how popular a manager might
be with his players. there are decidedly
few instances where an entire team would
put itself on record as favoring MIN.
Usually there are one or two players
who have grievances, whether real or
imaginary, and they would oppose their
manager. lnasmuch as Griffith was I'M
der fire all season and charged with nav
ing dissension among his players. the
latter's statement only goes to prove
how easy II Is for a manager to be mis-
represented 1t was the lack of COM
petent shortstop. not harmony, that
caused Griff1th's team TO finish out OF
the first division. and when he secured
a player who could fill the bill his team
won It's share OF games.
That the worlds series owes its success
10 the fact that these games have been
competently handled by the national
commission, which because Of this enjoys
public confidence, seems to be entirely
overlooked by the ball players. Before
the commission took charge OF these post
sea son games the contests were financial
failures compared with what they are to-
day, and yet it Is no easy matter to get
the ball players to realize this 1act.
They actually resent the authority which
the commission assumes over these
games and object to the 10 per cent OF
the gross receipts which the commission
takes to keep up its running expenses.
The system of having the game conduct
ed by means of this commission has done
much for base ball and the players would
be wise to- appreciate this fact. PLAYERS
who take part in the worlds series these
lines get more money in a few days than
players Of a decade ago received for two
seasons play and yet the men are not
sa isfed.
If it is true that Jack Johnson has
about run to the end of his financial
string the chances are that it won't be
long before he will take on one of the
sev eral heavyweights anxious to try con-
illusions with him. Foremost Of these is
undoubtedly Sam Langford. 1t may be
proven in time that the Boston Tar Faby
has no business in the same ring with
johnson. but he is willing to try and in
this connection it might be said that he
will have considerable backing, for there
are those who consider him as having a
good chance to beat the colored cham
pion.

The game Yesterday between Western
and Eastern brought forth two elevens
which for the cleanneSS of their play and
al-round ability have not been surpassed
this season. 1t Is questionable if there

in which more foot ball has been shown
than was evidenced i'm the contest yes

there was but one department i'll which

played on even terms during the entire
contest, with the exception that the East

made by him were few and far between.

PLAYING a position to which he was un-

1t was a mighty questionable decision
which Referee Gass made Yesterday:
when he declared that the attempted
punt out by Eastern had been blocked.
A Western player struck the Eastern
man, and Mr.. Gass could just as we'll
have given the Eastern man the dement,
OF the doubt and let him have the free
catch anyway. 1t probably saved West
ern from defeat.
Western made its first touchdown too
easy and the players became too con-
fident after that. The consistent work
which the team evidenced during the
first part of the game was not kept
up during the latter periods proba bly,
because OF that fact.
For a man who has played his first
year AT foot bah and who did not even
know the least thing about the game
when he started practice this fall How
ard of Western has done remarkably
well. He has showed that he possesses
what is generally termed foot ball in
stinct. else he could never have picked
up his knowledge of the game so quickly.
He has learned foot ball fast as any
man ever did and he plays the game
now as though he had spent several sea-
sons on the gridiron instead of four
weeks. His running mate, McArdle, put
up the best article Of foot ball yester-
day that he has shown at any time this
year. both in his defensive and offensive
work Although McArdle. Lascola and
Howard average but 49, pounds. they
have done some consistent work this sea-
