ALL ON THE SQUARE
Convincing Development as to
the Character of Three

DOPE so FAR BADLY OFF
Has Never Been a Prettier Contest
and All Have Something to
Fight for Till the End.

The certainty of baseball is pro-
verbal, nut it is doubtful If there was
ever a pennant race in which more
dope has been kicked over and ruth
lessly distributed about the fair green
than in the present one in the Thre,
Eye. Time after time the experts
have tried a new mixture only to have
their pipes put out again. There have
been charges and counter charges
and each time events have shown tina.
there is little or no foundation TO.

clearly demonstrated by this time that
the entire affair has been on tn.
square.
Pretty as You Please.
The contest for first place betweei
Rock Island. Decatur Peoria AMI
Springfield has been one of the pre-
test ever known in this or any othe~
league and it is not ended yet. Ia
fact, every team in the circuit has
something to fight for. even down tai

a showing that will entitle the towl
to keep its franchise for another yeac
The results of yesterday upsetting
completely as they did all calculations
and putting the Islanders once more in
the lead. have naturally given a
big impetus to the movement to
raise purse for the Rock Island play

thought expressed by the Baltimore

warns against unjust attacks upon IN

that will be endorsed by every con-

no encouragement should be given TO

THREATENING THE CzAR.

A member OF the central committee
of Russian revolutionary party who
has just returned to this country after
a visit TO Russia, liz quoted to the eff
feet that the Gear is doomed, and that

deadly fear: he knows not when the

power and Cypress the people to the
very verge OF desperation. What can
they expect? General Pavloff and Chief
OF Police Lodz, recently murdered, were
responsible for the killing OF more than
600 persons. IL reports are reliable. 1t
is true, they committed their deeds
with the authority Of the government
but their courts, II is said, did not even
pretend TO administer Justice; they
merely aimed at the removal OF all who
we're supposed to be unfriendly to the
autocracy. Crimes of violence breed
similar crimes. Tho reign OF terror In
France was but the natural climax OF
the long reign of injustice under which
the people had suffered. Terrorism In
Russia is only the result of similar
conditions. Those who plant dragon
teeth must expect to harvest strife.
"The Gear is doomed" That is the
ediot sent forth by the leaders of revo-
lutlonary parties, And II Is to be feared
that II is not merely an empty threat.
Under the present policy of the govern
