Of discussion is furnished by the rela-

teams are picked indirectly and with
out regard to how the individuals of
the team would tit together Such a
team is necessarily made up of the
best men in the big leagues, and their
selection is based on the same grounds
on which other all-star teams are
picked.
Some of the positions on both Ma
Uonal and American league teams are
so well indicated that there is no
chance for an argument, while players
are so evenly matched for others that
hardly two of the players at Camp
Cardinal or Camp Brown viii agree
upon the same man. Opinion will diff

ers at Dallas and Houston if the matter
Of placing the men is left open so that
FEEDERS can be shifted about. and this
Is especially true in the outflelds Of

Steady Demand For
Southwest Properties
Section of City That Has Been Free From
Booms But Has Kept Step With the Rapid
Growth of the Entire District.

]. Louis Willige, president OF the VIII
lige, Gibbs & Daniel real estate corpora
tion, in expressing his views concerning &
recent activity In the local real estate
market. called special attention TO the
steady demand for residential and in
vestment properties In the Southwest
section OF the city.
1T is an interesting fact" says he.
'and one that is not generally known
TO investors and to the public, that
South Washington presents the most
conservative field for real estate specu-
lation Of any locality I'm the District of
Columbia it population is of d sub
stantial and permanent nature, and il
is the Iarest thing TO find a house for
sale or for rent in the entire section
bounded by South Capitol street. on the
east, the Mall On the north. and the
Potomac on the south and west. So
seldom is there a change of ownership
or of tenancy N this large area that the
section is indeed provincial in its
character.
This, one Of the oldest portions Of
the District. has, as a matter of fact
been fully covered with buildings for so
long a. time that there has been practi-
csily no opportunity for the construc-
tion Of rows of speculative dwellings.

WASHINGTON A CITY
OF BEAUTIFUL HOMES
Architects and Builders Have Wed in
Producing Most Artistic and
Attractive Effects.

Nothing hHs added more to the at
tractiveness OF Washington than the
thousands OF dwellings erected during
the past ten years for the people Of
moderate means and those in tho Gov
eminent departments. No other city in
the world can boast OF the homeIike
quality and comfortable surroundings
that have been arranged for its citizens
by Washington builders The many
two asd thres story houses that are
scattered throughout the entire area. Of
the city show the skill. the ingenuity
and originality of local architects and
builders. Nowadays the occupant OF one
or the two-stery dwellings has all the
comforts and conYeniences not to speak
of many little elegancies that were un-
heard OF twenty years ago even by those
in comfortable financial condition.
The demand on the part of renters
and prospective buyers for a higher and
more artistic style in addition TO the
need Of the, latest and most approved
conveniences has required OF builders
that they should put forth their best
efforts TO meet the demand and that IT
has been successfully accomplished is
best seen by the continued advance in
architectural design and beauty The
utilitarian character OF the age while
utlldhulhS every feature IhaI VIII give

CLEVELAND PARK
THE BEAUTIFUL
Nature Smiles on Its Varied
Charms.
MANY NEW HOMES BUILDING
Revival of Interest in Subdivision
That Appeals to Lovers of
the Artistic.
MANY NEW HOMES BUILDING

To say nice things about Cleveland
Park has become a matter OF habit with
residents of Washington The improve
ments. however, which have been made
this spring in that charming section
have rendered the beauty of the place
and the energy OF the owners more no
ticeable than. ever. AT no period in the
history of the park have there been as
many houses in course of construction
or so much work done in improving and
beautifying the subdivision as during
the past winter and this spring. Among
other private owners, Bates Warren and
James Sharp have built beautiful and
expensive residences. as has also Fred
erick r. Pyle, architect. whose tasteful
and hOme-like cottage at the corner Of
Newark and Thirty-fourth streets !s
favorably noticed by all visitors TO the
park. The Cleveland Park Company is
completing a number OF charming cot
tages near Connecticut avenue. on Ma
comb street. which, with their porches.
overhanging caves. and balconies. are
as attractive TO the home buyer as is the
complete and well-planned arrangement
OF the interior. Among the houses erect
ed during the past year. some have cost
from $4,000 to $4,000 to build. Those

at present are held at from $3.50 to

A Through Thoroughfare.
One of the features peculiar to Cleve-
land Park is that il extends from Con-
necticut avenue to Wisconsin avenue or
Tenleytown road, being the only sub
division along Connecticut avenue in
which are to be found the streets ex-
tending from one to the other Of these
important thoroughfares. Its numerous
and peculiar advantages have been ap-
preciated by the public as is evidenced
by the large number Of residences that
have been erected, more particularly in
the past two years. The care with
which the owners of the park have ad-
hered to the construction OF detached
cottages has commended itself 10 the
public generally as it certainly has to
the home purchaser. The approaching
completion Of the 81. .000. 900 bridge over
Rock Creek in the line of Connecticut
lence OF access to this section of the
suburbs, as il will also be one OF the
noticeable features in and about the city
of Washington 1t is the conviction of
many who have watched the growth of
the city that the future Washington will
lie between Connecticut avenue on the
east and Massachusetts on the west, a
section which owing TO its elevation and
its topography Is by many considered
the most desirable part OF the District in
which TO live.
The Washington times., 1906-04-22

AS a natural consequence Of these
conditions. there is "A steady demand on
the part Of the younger generation for
homes amid the scenes Of their child
hood. and not only have rents advanced
to a higher figure than is commanded
by similar property I'm any other section
OF Washington. but the market price
of properties has CORES spoudingly en-
hanced until L Is next 10 impossible 20

save when. through the distribution or
an estate. for example. or some other
extraordinary contingency. property is

He states that his firm has been par
ticularly fortunate lately in securing
Southeast holdings for sale and has dis
posed Of them in a remarkably brief
period. During the past week. as here
tofOre noted in the columns OF The
Times. they have sold three business
properties. 219. 221. and 223 Seventh
street. which together with a number
Of others in the near past aggregate
close 10 $4,000.
