 Al Oden of this city, who played with Mobile in the Southern league last season, says the Giants have a coming star in Dave Robertson. who will try to oust Merk1e from the first ed in the Mobile outfeld last year and Oden had a good chance to observe his actions.
 s.Robertson has everything to make him a success says Odel1. 'He seem ed able to hit any kind of pitching and he finished the season away above the 300 mark. In fact he led the league until the last few weeks of the season. He is great on the bases and how he can throw. We infielders hated to see him hurl one in our direction when he started relay throw. He had such an arm that the ball was too, speedy for us to take, on the fly. We used to play it on the bound. Robertson has played number of good in that position look for him to become a wonder under McGraw's s direction"

HERE FROM MANY CITIES
 TO DISCUSS LISTS

Members of the boards of assessors in Waterbury, New Haven and other cities were the guests of the Bridge port board of assessors at the City Hall today in a meeting called for the purpose of considering the uniform tax list provided for Connecticut towns by the last legislature.
 Members of the assessing bodies or the cities find that the list, as out lined, is not readily adapted to their requirements, and they discussed Tor a. long time the advisabiltty of secur- ing the ratification of the tax comrn1s- sioner of a modified form of the un1- form list, for use in the cities.
 The Bridgeport assessors, Frank J. Hughes, Col. Julius w. Knowlton, Thomas O'Bren and Lawrence J. Gill, have found the list rather unhandy, and are strongly in favor of the pro- position for a modified list.
