Rossbach was the shining gem in

"Twentyseven Brownies faced the
mighty Rossbach only to retire to the

On July II, 1880, Cleveland was de

first. On July II of the same year
Ward of Providence defeated Buffalo
in similar game. Cy Young's his
toric stunt came May 5, 1904, when
the Boston Americans defeated the
Philadelphia Athletics without a Phila

"A glance at Rossbach's base ball
history will show that he had been
working for long time to slip over
a record breaker. Last season he
pitched three one hit games with the
South Dakota Agricultural College and
Oaks, y. ID. In two of these games
the lone single did not come until
the eighth.
"Rossbach broke into the game at
st. Johns University at St Cloud

seasons he pitched for the South Da
kota Agricultural college at Brookings
and played on the championship bas
ketball team Of the state.
''His first professional ball was with
Oaks, but he had offers from the
Northern league and Western Cana
dian league. This season he was sign

with them. The Green Bay manager

Every seat in the Grand Opera

the curtain rolled up on the first act
of the comedy Miss Hursey from

No comment is necessary on the
satisfaction which was given by both
play and players, the funny speeches
of the performers often being inter
rupted by roars of laughter all over
the house. Miss Marion is one of
the most natural artists. that has been
seen here for many day. She never

for publication in the same paper.
Some of the suggestions are serious

The tip given out that Mr.. Taft,
the president-elect had commissioned
somebody to purchase two powerful
automobiles for his use in Washing
ton has caused quite a furry among
the makers of heavy machines. Oi
course, everyone of them would like
to have the honor of being 'purveyol

case like this, where the president is
such a heavyweight. 1t would be
a great advertisement for the endur

SUMMARY OF THE
 DAY IN CONGRESS

Washington, December S.-The busi- ness of both houses of Congress was confined today largely to listening to the reading of the Presidents annual message. but in addition few bills were introduced, both in the Senate and the House, and in the House a number of bills were sent to conference, among them being one providing for a new immigration station in Boston.
 In addition the speaker announced the appointment of MT. Higgins of Con- necticut to a place on the committee on judiciary, in place of MT. Littlefeld and of MT. Martin to place on the commit tee on Indian affairs in place of Mr. Parker, deceased.
 For the first time during the present Congress there was a call of the com mittees of the House, but no measure was reported by any of them.
 The miscellaneous work of the Sen ate consisted in the main of the refer ence in executive session of about 15O0 recess nominations, which were today sent to the Senate by the President, and the adoption of resolutions of regret on account of death of members of the House who have passed away since the adjournment last May. The Senate ad- journed for the day at 2 o'clock and the House at 2:35

This report in excess of 11,0OO 900 bales is the largest cii record. 1n all probability 1t foreshadows a large crop, as large as the movement indicates, but no severe decline ensued, as there were buyers who felt that the crop estimate of the government to be Issued tomorrow would be smaller than the ginners report would lead one to ex- pect This buying continued at each oint decline. Thus, while the close was at the lowest point the market was by nc means weak and many expect sharp recovery tomorrow.
