in that Il has served as a most val
liable source of advertising for the
cities which compose it. In the mat
ter OF financial returns it has per-
haps, been more successful than In
most OF the past seasons. The pro-
gram of economical administration
inaugurated last winter was not car
ried out as rigidly as many had hop
ed. but il is believed the rules were
lived up to insofar as It was prac-
ticable to do so. The experience OF
this year may help managers to
solve some of the problems involved
hereafter with better satisfaction to-
all.

Rock Island, Decatur, Blooming
ton and Cedar Rapids are the only
cities that have been loyal to the
circuit since it was organized in
1901. Next year, it is more than
likely that Cedar Rapids will drop

of the proyerbial 40 little niggers,'
there will be three.

and the league left with the club on
it's hands. found a home for it at
Springfield.
There were no further CHANGES

The Islanders merely dalliCd with
Cedar Rapids yesterday in the first
game OF the last series of the sea
son, and when the final out was
made, Tighe's men had the game
sewed up with the score to @.
Hardin did the twirling for the
pennant winners, and he was in such
form that he could afford to let men
get to base almost every inning and
yet keep them from scoring. When
il was necessary he could tighten up
in wonderful manner and there
was never any danger. except in the
first inning, that the visitors would
get a man over the rubber. In the
opening session George allowed
three out of the first four batters to
hit him safely, and then with the
bases full and only one down. he
rose to the occasion aud the next

How Ii Happened.
The first score and the one which
won the game came in the third in

twosacker which went over the right
fieider'S head. O'COnnCII decided
that it was too dangerous to give
Murphy a chance to hit the sphere,
so Frank received four wide ones
and went to first. Berger dumped
a sacrifice and both runners moved

but Clemens pulled down his long

runners had 10 be content with each
getting one base after the catch was
made. That brought Hardin over
