Canton, Ohio, Nov. Canton is GO
ing TO win over the Patricians of
Youngstown in the Steeltown Sunday
in the first hard fight the Bulldogs
have been called TO make in defense
Of the United States professional foot
ball title.
This is the word sent here by Jo-
seph Carr, manager of the Panhandles
of Columbus, who have met the big
rivals and who play the Tigers Of
MassilloG at MassiIlon Sunday.
Cars statement comes from
Youngstown. Canton downed the
Pans" by count of 81 to 0; Youngs-
town held the DOWNSTAIRS pointless
and succeeded in tolling of 80 points,
Columbus believes Canton will de-
feat Youngstown" said the Columbus
mogul after the defeat at Youngs-
town last Sunday. The score will be
close, but l think the Bulldog eleven

TAX NETS MILLIONS
ON BASEBALL GAMES

New York, Nov. 3.--As baseball pat
ronage is as nearly normal in 1913 as
it was this year the major leagues, it
is estimated by baseball statisticans
here yesterday that the government
will collect in the neighorhood Of
i,000,0 in revenues from the ma
tionai pastime next season. The gov
ernment's 10 per cent war revenue
tax on tickets. in addition to the in
como tax, it is believed will swell the
grand total to nearly million dol
lars.

Captain Frank Smith is playing his
sixth year with the Rock Island hide
pendents this season. Smith joined
the squad in the fall Of 1912 when an
Independent football organization was
formed in this city, During the six
years he performed with the Island
ers he has played at tire tackle and
guard positions In a very satisfactory
manner. Smith probably is one of the
strongest line men the Independents
have this season, and owing to his
popularity with the players he was
elected captain Of the team.

Where Does the Money Go?

In view of the present high prices Of
foodstuffs, the contention of certain agri-
cultural and stock-raising interests that
the proposed increase in freight rates
would practically drive them out Of busi-
ress is distinctly interesting. Obviously,
the government cannot afford at this time
to sanction any course which would dis
courage food production or diminish the
Weld of the farms. Just as obviously it
cannot afford to starve the railroads, which
are as essential to the proper conduct of
the war as is an increased production Of
the necessaries Of life.
These protesting producers argue that
in spite Of existing conditions they must
get considerably more than they are re-
ceivng in order to make profit warrant
ing them TO continue doing business. Who,
then, gets all the extra money the con-
sumers are paying for foodstuffs? The
railroads are not getting it in the form Of
freight payments. II it goes to pay much
higher prices for grain, as the stock rails
crs contend, the farmers should have no
legitimate protest against the payment Of
higher transportation rates Is IT all find
ing It's way into the pockets Of the middle
men and food spectators? In that case,
