BRING SEASON
TO END WITH A
DOUBLE HEADER
Baseball Year in Rock Island to
Terminate in Advance
of the Schedule.
BARGAIN DAY is DECIDED upon
Rock Island and Dubuque Mutually
Agree to Make the Change, Ex-
pecting Greater Returns.

Rock Islands baseball season ends
tomorrow. This was decided upon to
day in conference between the Du-
buque and Rock Island managements
y double header will be played tomor
row afternoon beginning at 2:15, by
mutual agreement, and the season will
be wound up then and there.
Though the schedule calls for the
ending of the season Monday, neither
Rock Island nor Dubuque is engaged
in any particularly momentous fight
for place, and both being willing to
terminate the season a day early, it is
not likely that any other team will
object
The reason for the change of plans
is that it is believed that better finan-
cial returns will be obtained by max
ing tomorrow bargain day If the
concluding contest were played Mon
day the crowd, after the booster day
today and the Sunday game tomorrow,
would be certain TO be small The
double header tomorrow will draw out
seevral hundred more than would turn
out to see a single game, the difference
being greater, it is believed, than the
entire probable attendance Monday.
No Change in Standing Expected.
Rock Island seems reasonably GER
tain of finishing in seventh place.
Should Clinton win two out of three
with Cedar Rapids in the last series
and Rock Island lose two out of three,
we would still be one point 10 the
good But Clinton is not expected TO
win two out of three, nor is Rock Is
(, land expected to lose two out of three.
Cedar Rapids is fighting for third place
land seems in fair way to land it. At
the top, Decatur will have to take all

nobody expects that the COmmodores

LOOK TO FUTURE
Three-Eye lesoue Towns Must
Soon Decide What They
Wish to Do.
.Gat EmEAT IS At An END
Circuit as Whole Has Been a Sue
cess Seven Years and Changes
Should Not Be Hastily Made.

With the end If The Three-Eye
league season at hand The question of
what the various associations are go
ing to do for next year is of absorb
ing interest. AS is generally known
the agreement that has bound the
league together for three years past
ends this fall with the closing of the
season and the cities included in the
circuit will be free to make such al
liances for coming years as they see
fit. At the same time it is believed
that the various associations will rec
ogniZe that each is to a great extent
dependent upon the others for a base
ball future and will be largely by
mutual interest in any reorganization
that may take place.
The league has been a success prac-
tically as now constituted for seven
years and it is accounted one of the
best minor circuits in the country.
1t also may be rated as a pioneer. be-
ing one of the first Class B organiza-
tons to hang together for any length
of time. This has been partly due to
conservative management, but more
to the fact that the individual mem
bers have been faithful and have
been loyalty supported by the fans.
All Thoroughly Tried.
Four cities, Rock Island, Cedar
Rapids, Bloomington AMI Decatur, re
n in Of tho ioyi, oil h
others have been in the company long
enough to show the stuff they are
made of. These are things that should
be considered well when changes in
the circuit for another year are being
planned. OF course one or two of the
present members of the league viii
probably want to quit hut the Other
cities, ii is believed. will continue tC
want baseball of the Three-Eye league
kind and it is difficult TO see how they
can get it except by hanging together
| And definite settlement of the
question should not be delayed any
longer than is necessary. First the
individual associations must meet anC
decide what stand they VIII take anC

The salary question should be attend

PLANTS AS ANIMALS.
Charles Darwin's Son Says They Have
Memory, Habits and Moods,

Francis Darwin. son of Charles
Species" who delivered the presiden-
tial address at the opening of the Brit
ish Scientific association at Dublin the
other day. is the first botanical presi-
dent at the associations annual meet
ingS for forty years. Few more imag-
NATIVE and more original speeches
have been delivered from the presi-
Dental chair than his. though the sci
entiic audience shook their heads
Mr.. Darwin said he appeared as the
champion Of lost cause.-the doctrine
of the inheritance of acquired charac-
ters.
His argument was that plants must
be classed as animals in the way they
respond to touch. He advanced proof
TO show that plants have memory, can
develop habits and behave differently
according to what we may call their
mood. lie went so far, in fact. rs to
argue that there is in plants some
thing that corresponds very nearly to
the nervous system in animals. and he
asserted that plants are quite rs sen.
sitive to certain agencies as animals
and quite as capable of telegraphing
from one part of the organism to an
other.
I'VE must believe" Mr.. Darwin said,
that in plants there exists a faint
copy of what we call consciousness In
ourselves"
Growth itself, in his view, was a sort
Of habit. made possible by memory In
The cells. so that growth could be
changed at any period of progress By
the surrounding If not by sort of
free Will. These changes in growth
are remembered by successive genera
tons and in this way among the plants
and lower animals. t.any rate. ac-
quired characters not only can but
must be inherited If that word Is to
have any meaning.

BIG RUMPUS Is DUE
In SOUTHERN END
Decatur Charges Kinsella With Irregu.
lar Methods in Effort to Land
the Pennant.

Just keep your weather eye peeled
on the southern end of the circuit dur
ing the next series. Unless all indica-
tons fail there is going to be a big
muss when Decatur and Springfield
get together. Decatur is openly charg-
ing Kinsella with about all the crimes
in the baseball calendar and intimating
that all the rest of them have been
committed and has imported Central
league players for the final dash. 1t
is not unlikely that the Commodore
management will challenge Springfield
to play series in third city after
the end of the season, basing its de-
mand that the pennant, should Sprin.
field land it, has not been fairly won.
