Business Men Lose
to the Capitol Team,

The state capitol kittenball team
defeated the business mems team in
the first practice game Of the season
last evening, the final score being Q
to Z. The game was played on the
William, Moore school ground.
The business men started out like
veterans and soon had a 5 to / lead.
Peterson's twO-base hit started a bat
ting rally for the business men that
the capitol bunch had trouble in
stopping. When the inning was over
the business men were leading by q
3 to @ score.
The capitol team resented three
home runs made by Steen, Peterson
and Liydahl, and decided to do q
little hitting themselves. They piled
up markers until the score was tied,
and it finally became necessary to
play an extra inning to determine the
winners.

The Bismarck high school baseball
team will play the Flasher high school
nine on the Bismarck ball diamond
Friday afternoon at / o'clock. and the
members Of the local team believe
they can get revenge for the severe
drubblng given them by the Flasher
ties at Flasher two weeks ago.
The Bismarck boys went to Flasher
without any practice whatever, and
were beaten II To |. They have
practiccd strenuouslv since then,
however. and are confident Of vic
tory in Fridays game. Last Sunday
the local nine played the Mandan
state training school team, LOSING by
10 to I score.
Baseball IS not recognized by the
Bismarck school authorities as one
OF the schools regular sports and
consequently all expenses connected
with games must be paid By the
local players themselves il. the gate
receipts are insufficient to cover.
For this reason they hope to have a
good sized audience Friday afternoon.
