Pf0wsa Boys Rest In Fourth Posi-
ton as Result Of Saturday
andzSuRdRy Contests.

Moline won three games IN two
days at-Rockford and Jumped from
! the cellar to first position in the
second division. The Plows got
revenge for the defeat of Friday
at the hands of the Castlemen by
coping both ends of the Saturday
double bill, and came back yester-
day and grabbed the Sabbath con-
test by a count of 5 to 2. Satur-
days scores were to and to 4.
The feature of yesterdays con-
test was the hard smuggling of
Wenz, the center fielder register
ing a circuit clout, two Dagger
and single at four times at bat.
Keiser did the twirling and held
the Rocks down to six scattered
blows. 1t was not until Moline
had amassed a five-run lead that
the big fellow eased bit and per-
nnitted the losers to count

SEES NEED FOR zoNlNG LAW.
Writer Points Out Why Exclusively
Residence Districts Should Be At
forded Proper Protection.


Chicago is asking the Illinois legisla-
ture for coming lava law that will
permit cities in Illinois to say what
part shall be reserved for residence
purposes This is thing that every
city in the country has some inter-
est in because 1t is step in the right
direction, asserts the Davenport Times
There must be factory and commercial
districts. of course, and there must
also be residence districts. But it isn't
fair to man who has developed a
residence property, beautified the
grounds, and arranged the house to
suit him, to have all of sudden, some
sort Of business concern established
next door, to the deteriment Of his
home. Every city in the country has
numerous examples of just that sort Of
thing. Restricting residence property
is going to become more and more the
thing as the years go by. We have a
few districts in Davenport that are
thus protected but there are many
other districts where the people who
own homes have no protection at all
from the possibility Of undesirable
construction and business enterprises

long established custom Of many build.

the points of the compass. The town
that gets all possible sunlight has no
north and south or east and west
streets, and the walls Of its structures
stand at various angles with the
weather vane. If there is one. on the
church steeple.
