Muncie and Anderson May
Not Withdraw, 1t Is Claimed
And They Knew Nothing of
A Trolley League.
JESSUP INVESTIGATED
CONDITIONS YESTERDAY.
William Norton Will Back the
Anderson Aggregation
Both Towns Will Act Def
niteIy Soon.

Despite the statements made by Il
few knockers, both expelled franchise
holders and newspaper men, Anderson
and Muncie are still in the 10.
they will remain. Thursday IA story
was printed in the Muncie Star to the
effect that the 10. league was a dead
one in Muncie and Anderson.
Yesterday Manager Jessup visited
the two cities and found everything to
be perfectly satisfactory and returned
to Richmond in a happy frame of
mind At Muncie Mr.. Finan, of the
Shamrock Athletic association, stated
that he had never heard of the 'Trol-
ley League" which the Muncie news
paper referred to, stated was being or
ganiZed. and that the Shamrocks
would either enter the |. o. league or
they would not have a ball team in the
field this season. Members of the
Shamrock Athletic association will
hold a meeting Sunday and if they de-
eide not to enter the !. O. League our
franchise and park will be for SALE
stated Mr.. Finan.
Manager Jessup then went to Ander-
son and found that it was true that
Phil O'Neil had thrown up the sponge
there because the men he had tried to
induce to finance the club had gone
back on him. Jessup called upon
William Norton, the wealthy brewer
and ex-polo magnate. After explain
ing the situation to him, Mr.. Norton
stated that he would be willing to as
sist in financing the club. He called
upon several prominent Anderson bus
mess men and they agreed that Ander-
son should be represented i'll the 10
league, and promised to assist Mr.. Nor,
ton in putting the Anderson club in
the field. Just before leaving Ander
son, Jessup met O'Neil aud told him
of the action taken by Mr.. Norton and
his associates. O'Neil then telephoned
| to Norton and told him that if he
would back the club, he would, without
compensation, devote a months time
| to organizing the team. Monday Mr.
Norton will call a meeting for the pur
pose of organizing stock company.

THE HUMAN BRAIN.
Its Capacity to Receive the impress
sions of a Lifetime.

Authorities differ as to the capacity
Of the average brain to receive the i'm
pressions of a lifetime. 1t is pretty
well believed that there is in the brain
a center of conservation distinct from
the center of perception. We of course
know nothing as to the nature of the
relation Of brain cells to precepts and
conservation. but we do know that
there must be relation. The re-
searches Of Hammerberg and Thomson
show that the number of cells in the
brain is 100000 600. All stimuli. ex-
ternal Through the five senses) or in
ternal Through processes>. must leave
some trace upon these cells chemical.
physical or dynamic These stimuli
are composed of all sorts of precepts-
words and sounds heard; things and
words seen: objects felt. tasted smell
ed; sensations perceived in our own
bodies: thoughts pushing upward into
consciousness. And a little reflection
will show how inuumerable such i'm
prints must be in the course Of single
waking day.
Even without reading. the resident of

hemisphere and consequently must pos

only guess at the number, but a fair es
innate would be about a twentieth, or
say, 500 100000, which in lifetime OF
sixty years would allow us about %,
600 cells a day for the perception and
conservation of words and sentences

scientific value. but at any rate they
emphasize a very important fact, and
that is that our brain capacity Is limit

A Flavor of uity,

In the little town of Munsiedel, in
Bavaria, there exists one of the most
curious charitable foundations in the
world. One of the burghers, Christie
pher Wanner, died in 1851 and left his
fortune for the establishment of a
home for aged poor. He attached, how
ever, the condition that every old man
who was taken in should wear his
beard and the same cut OF clothes and
cap as he himself used 10 wear. Con

of years. the ancient pensioners are

THE WORLD OF THE DIVER
His One Great Danger Lies In His
Utter Helplessness.

His One Great Danger Lies In His
Utter Helplessness.
Every surrounding. every condition,
almost every detail Of the submarine
divers work is as il invented by the
uncanny tale.
The one great danger to the subma-
rine diver lies in his utter helplessness.
No matter how or where he turns in
his marvellous world. where even the
very laws of nature seem turned topsy
turvy. he is handicapped with odds
against the life within him. Cropping In
the murk of the pitchy darkness of a
river bottom or crouching on the sands
i'll the green gray twilight of an ocean
bed, he works alone, monster headed
awkward, hideous creature. squeezed
as If in a wise by the tons upon tons
of water surrounding him and clad in a
cumbersome. unwieldy armor, stiff as
sole leather, which often proves his
casket.
From the instant the helmet is screw
ed down and the helper grasps the
life line and lowers the diver hand
over hand, the "click, click, click" OF
the pumps bringing fresh air and the
hiss of the escape valve carrying away
the used up air, sound in the diver s
ears. The click, click, click" becomes
part of his subconscious self. He is
listening for it always, ever; not a
"click' escapes him. He starts vic
lently at the slightest irregularity OF
the sound He listens for it SO intent
ly that to save his soul he cannot count
correctly 100 bricks into a bucket, tax
ing them one at a time.-A. w. Rolker
in Appletons.

He greatly resembled a round ball,
but withal he was a genial good
fellow, and there was no better
liked man in the county. He was

at the cage from the foul line that
Earlham nosed out a victory. In the
earlier stages OF the game he accept
ed. fourteen out of sixteen chances,
but later he lost his aim and his final
score stood seventeen goals out of
twenty-five chances. Johnson of De

and Gagged only eleven goals out of
twenty-five chances.
