played a series of 19 games with the San Jose team, winners of the pennant In the California State league, appearing In The Journal Friday,
has revived 'such Interest among old fans that a picture of the players is here reproduced. The , face of Tom Parrott is not among -the
number, he being at the time 'a. 'member of the Tacoma club, joining the Portland men later in the season in California. Reading from left
to right the players are: Top row pete McNabb, pitcher; Walter E. ( Jlggs) Parrott, third base and shortstop; Mot, first base. Middle

- Biggest Man in the House.
From th Boston Herald.
Cy Sulloway of New Hampshire still
retains his place as the biggest man in
the house of representatives, and so far
no one has appeared that may claim
honor to second place ahead of OUI
James of Kentucky.
Sulloway Is something more than six
and a half feet till, and weighs hut a
pound less than 850. His breadth is
proportionate with his height and he
towers above his colleague, Frank D.
Currier, as he does above most all the
members of the house. He Is on of
the members who does not exercise his
prerogative of taking his luncheon on
that Bide of the house restaurant where
the sign proolalms "for members only,"
but each day partakes of a' sparing
lunch on th public stds of the room,
where negroes are pot barred and where
the motto is that anybody's money is
good. ' -. - .. i
