NEW YORK. Oct. 8.-The post-sea.

are attracting unusual attention owing
to the fact that the contenders In each

Claude Rossman has just returned

the connection between his return and
the loss Of the pennant. Speak the
word "Rossnian" to Detroit fan and
he pooh po0hs. Rossman suffered

Tigers might possibly not have won
the pennant but they would be so close

result would be in doubt until about
the last week the season. Maybe
you don't believe that, but, with all
due credit to Tom Jones FOR his faith
