anyone complaining of the din

boy. Like many another big Lacquer
he made such rapid progress IN college
that he was offered contract l.y the
Providence club in 1894 and went to
work regularly as a baseball player.
Davis progressed to New York by
way of Pawtucket, but he was troubled
with rheumatism in his legs and cO.:ld
not get around very lively so the Giants
traded him to Pittsburg. This was in
1895, and Harry stayed for two years,
but concluded that he would rather
be in the minor leagues than 10 try
to stand the Pittsburg climate lenger.
he moved back to Providence in 1898
In 1901, Harry decided to quit baseball
and went into business in Philadelphia
where Connie Mack found him when
he was searching around for a good
first sacker. Harry refused to be en-
ticed away from trade for some time,
but Mack kept dangling offers in front
of him until he finally put on the
Athletics uniform 1t has fitted him
nicely ever since.
Harry Davis turned out TO be a
star with the Athletics, and Connie"
Mack says he is one of the shrewdest
ball players he ever knew. He is re-

in all cities on the American league

where they practically disregarded him

Davis was one Of the first of the
type Of ball players which is SO gen
orally found in the big league now
He is clean cut, educated, and smart.
He has made baseball his business and
has quite a fortune as the result OF
his efforts He is one of the best liked
men on the Philadelphia club, and has
big acquaintance all over the circuit.
Harry is better mixer than Connie"
Mack himself, and might be called the
Athletics secretary of state because
he takes care of all social functions for
Connie"
Davis has an automobile into which
he remembers TO put gasoline, oil, and
water once in awhile, and then il runs.
But, as a rule, you can find him on the
roads in the vicinity of Philadelphia
carrying can of gasoline to feed the
hungry motor.
Harry is married and has one son
whom he is trying to persuade not to
play baseball This son thing is a mark
of distinction as Davis and Eddie"
Collins are the only two players on the
Athletics who have boys. Several Of
the others are fathers of girls Harry

SAYS MILK FACTORY
IS CouNTY's FINEST
c. E. ROGERS, DETROIT MAN
VIEWS PLANT
b Equipment installed, = Machinery
~ Enroute.- Operations
Dec. LIST.

'.The Clio condensed milk factory
is the finest have ever seen," said
&C. e. Rogers, manufacturer of milk
machinery, of Detroit, yesterday.
Mr.. Rogers has been arranging for
the work of installing the machinery
here and took occasion to compli-
ment other features of the plant be-
side the machinery his company was
furnishing.
II believe it is the finest factory
in the United States and have seen
a good many of them. Most of them
are OF good construction, you know,
and haven't the modern features you
have here. 1t has certainly got the
$4,000 Borden factory at Hall ex-
celled in many ways"
The factory has grown up in the
village so quietly that nobody seems
to realize just what sort of an in
stitoSion has developed into the
towns midst. 1t is a magnificent
structure of paving brick SO feet
wide and 160 feet long. The center
roof rises 35 feet above the ground
and the sidewalks are Is feet high.
The office equipment will be in
stalled this week and farmers can
call on B. W. Doyle, the superin-
tendent, to discuss the milk ques-
tion and transact business. All the
machinery for the plant has been
shipped and will be installed as soon
as it arrives.
Operations vii probably start
about Dec. 1.
