George Davis. shortstop OF the Chicago
White SOx. who lives in New York. left this
city yesterday for Chicago, from where he
will Join the worlds champions on their way
north. Report has had it that Davis was
holding out on owner COmiskey. that he
would not ba with the American League
pennant winners this season, that he was to
be traded for Fred Parent. and numerous
other things which were hews 10 Davis. Il
did not go TO Mexico with the other players
because didn't want to make the long trip"
said Davis yesterday. Il haven't any weight
to take on and will get in condition quickly,
although am soft and need to develop my
wind.
About our winning the pennant again this
season, I'D hats to make any prediction at
this time OF the year, The most Ill say 10
that we will be mp there. 80 will several
other teams. One place where we're strong
and where you've got TO be strong to win
pennant is in the pitchers box. We aren
such a weak hitting team either as has been
made out. Cur grounds in Chicago are the
hardest in the league to hit on, and where
other teams play only eleven games each
there we play seventy-seven. The ground
is soft and the background Is bad, and those
are the things that AFFECT our hitting. We
hit 20 per cent better away from home, and
III venture 10 say that we Outbatted the
New Works on their n ground last year
We never had any more luck than every team
has TO have to win pennant,"

Bossier City's Advantages Discussed.
SHREVEPORT, LA, March

SHREVEPORT, LA, March %, 1907.
Messrs. Hunter Nc ormick Realty Co.,
Shreveport, La
Dear Sirs: If was in the real estate business,
l certainly would like to have stock in your Com
pany. Your movement on foot to place large
number of lots (taken out of acreage property in
Bossier City, upon the market, and in connection
Herewith Immediately succeed in having free toll
bridge over the RedsRiver, is move that will, in
my Judgment, add much to the city Of Shreveport,
and will be Of immense value to great numbers OF
the working class of this city, who are the real
bone and sinue of any community.
At the present time laboring man who desires
to purchase home in Shreveport is forced, in
order to get something cheap to either take prop
erty in disagreeable neighborhood amongst a
class unworthy of his association else go to the
country on the outskirts of the city. The laboring
man is not able to afford home at such great
distance from his work, subecting himself to tax
of at least So per month for street fare, besides
unspeakable inconvenience. With your subdivision
in Bossier City placed upon the market, coupled
with free bridge, there is no reason why neat and
comfortable houses, close to the commercial center
of the city, should not be established and main
tanned by the people above referred to.
Aside from this, with Shreveport surrounded as
it is with rivers and lakes, and populated as it is
with the residence portion and business portion
respectively definitely defined, and the space within
the city limits practically occupied, it seems to me
that your subdivision in Bosser City, is the logical
home and location of all factories that may in the
future be drawn to this city, and there is reason
why Gf the city of Shreveport and city Of Bossier
do not become jealous Of each other) manufactur
ing interests should not be developed with great
rapidity.
A city with ten railroads and navigable river at
it's door, with an unlimited supply Of natural gas
already developed, and with strong probability Of
the development Of the great oil field in the i'm
mediate vicinity, should not only court the estab-
lishment Of factories, but should command atten-
ton from capitalists whose attentions directed
always towards manufacturing interests by reason
Of these facts.
believe you have great proposition and sin
cerely hope you will prove successful in your
efforts to establish new town the river, and
thereby be a benefactor to the city as well as
realizing ample compensation for yourselves.
Yours very truly,
G. w. HARDY.
