We present a measurement of the inclusive jet cross section
in p anti-p collisions at s**(1/2) = 1.96 TeV based on data collected
by the CDF II detector with an integrated luminosity of 1.13 fb-1.
The measurement was made using the cone-based Midpoint jet clustering
algorithm in the rapi+dity region of |y| = < 2.1. The results are
consistent with next-to-leading-order perturbative QCD predictions based
on recent parton distribution functions (PDFs), and are expected to
provide increased precision in PDFs at high parton momentum fraction x.
The results are also compared to the recent inclusive jet cross section
measurement using the k_T jet clustering algorithm, and we find that
the ratio of the cross sections measured with the two algorithms is
in agreement with theoretical expectations over a large range of jet
transverse momentum and rapi+dity.
