New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1914-08-19
Athletics Play
Mankato Again
RETURN MATCH ARRANGED FOR
NEXT SUNDAY ON LOCAL
DIAMOND.
ROSSMAN, FORMER MINNEAPO.
LIS A. A. STAR, TO PLAY WITH
LOCALS.

Mankato, the team that was lucky
enuf to beat the New Ulm Athletics at
Mankato Sunday by S to 4 score, is
the attraction for the local fans Sunday.
The Mankato aggregation has won four
teen of their fifteen games this season,
record which speaks for itself. Many of
these games have been against the fastest
clubs in Southern Minnesota. The New
Ulm boys are anxious to retrieve them
selves for last Sundays defeat and are
confident that they can turn the tables on
the visitors.
Who will be the pitching choice of
Manager Seifert is riddle just at persent.
If possible he will again secure Frank
Crawford, but whether he will be sue
cessfull or not cannot be said, now that
Crawford has been signed by the Mime
apolis team. Spencer will probably be
on the mound for the Mankato boys. He
did not look very good against New Ulm
Sunday but it as he has not lost game
this season it is needless to comment on
his ability. Claude Rossman, until re-
Gently q member of the Minneapolis
American Association team, will again
play first base for New Ulm and should
be an added attraction to the fans in
New Ulm and the surrounding country.
The Pirates will journey to Winthrop to
meet the team of that town Sunday after
noon.
Clause Rossmann, who played first
base for New Ulm at Mankato last Sum
day, will again be in New Ulm lineup
next Sunday when New Ulm plays the
Mankato aggregation a return game on
the local diamond, and no doubt he will
draw the fans from miles around New
Ulm to the Ball park. Caesar, as he
has been dubbed in Minneapolis, is more
or less familiar to the fans in this vicinity
who have been attending American As
ISOLATION games at Minneapolis for the
past four years.
Rossman Joined the Detroit team Of
the American league in 1906, playing first
base for the Tigers,a and being instrument
tai in landing the American league cham
pionship for his club in 1907 and 1908.
He followed Crawford and Ty Cobb in
the batting order and all of the pitchers
in the league had healthy respect for
that trio of fencebusters. In 1909 his
arm went back on him and Manager Jen-
nings sold him to Columbus, of the Amer
lean Association, who disposed Of him to
the Minneapolis club shortly thereafter.
He was shifted to the outfeld and his
warclub quickly made him favorite
with the Miller fans. He remained with
the Millers until about a month ago when
he bought his release of the Cantillons.
His clouting helped the Minneapolis
team considerably in winning the Ameri-
can Association pennant three times in a
row, 1910, 1911 and 1912. That his
presence strengthens the local club is OBJ
vious and Manager Seifert is to be con-
graduated upon his successful efforts to
gather a strong team to represent New
Ulm.
1t is extremely probable that Otis
Clymer, another former Minneapolis
American Association Player, will be seen
in New Ulm uniform Sunday. Clymer
and Rossman are both living in the Mill
City at present and Clymer may accom-
pany Rossman on his next trip. He
played with the Washington team of the
American league several years ago when
Joe Cantillon was managing that organi-
cation. Joe sent him to Minneapolis
when he knew that he would be managing |
the Millers the following season.. ely
mer's work in center field attracted the
attention of big league scouts, his best
year being in 1912. He was drafted by
the Chicago Cubs, who later disposed of |
him to Boston. Finally Minneapolis |
secured him again and he was going well
when he. broke his arm and had to retire
for several weeks. He realized that he |
would never be as good as he had been
70 he purchased his release some time ago.
BARRIERS IN WINNING STREAK.
In a pitchers battle between Cordes
of the BARRIERS, and Neumann, Of the
Post Office team, the former was re-
turned victor Monday evening by
'core Of 8 %. AS in so many previous
