CHAMPIONSHIP. BALL
GAME WEDNESDAY
MANDAN AND VALLEY CITY TO
MEET At BISMARCK TO.
MORROW.
Teams Are Among Best in the State
and Game Promises to Be One of
Unusual Interest.

Wednesday evening at 6:45 o'clock
there will be game of baseball played
at League park in this city between
the crack teams of Valley City and
Mandan. There is considerable rivalry
between the two teams, each of which
aspires to the title of state champions.
The Mandan team went to Valley City
a short time ago and played series
of four games, majority of which
they lost, but since then they have
been strengthened considerably and
are confident that they can win from
the Valley boys, since the game is to
be played on neutral ground.
This will be the best game of the
season for Bismarck fan lovers to
witness, and the presence in the city
of the Cosmopolitan Shows should add
materially to the big crowd that will
attend the contest.

which run counter to this view. One
salient example is that of the French
statesman, Leon Gambetta. whose
brain weighed only AZ ounces On the
other hand, the heaviest brain on rec
ord Is that of a London newsboy,
whose brain weighed "a ounces, In
spite of the fact that he is stated to

weighing 50 ounces once belonged 0
Scandinavian peasant, of whose in
tellectual status it may be said that
previous to the age of 70 he never
showed signs Of any extraordinary in
telligence." A female Indian dwarf
had brain which weighed no less
than n ounces, trife heavier than
the brain of Tourgeneff. the celebrated
Russian novelist
The average weight of the human
brain has been variously put at from
81 to 5S ounces, and an analysis of the
brain weights of 60 intellectual men
works out at an average of SO ounces,
which is not much superior to the av-
erage. Evidently quantity of brain sub
