Duplex Houses Grow
In Popularity
Here

Following closely upon the
success of their first introduction
of duplex houses to Washington,
the H. R. Howenstein Company,
of 1914 F street northwest, an
nounce that they are construct
ing a new row of four of the
same type dwellings,. The first
four were erected from 1900 to
1906 A street northeast; the new
row is under construction at the
premises from 1347 to 1853
Pennsylvania avenue southeast.
The style of these dwellings is
a total innovation to this Sec
ton of the country, although
widely used throughout the
West and Southwest. The houses
are of two stories, and each floor
contains four rooms and bath--a
complete apartment in itself.
Large lots with room for
garages, attractive porches,
front and rear, large rear lawn
and many other features are
mentioned as offering added de-
STABILITY to the properties.
Prospective purchasers are
told of a novel plan in buying
these homes. They may be
bought, the upper floor rented.
and the house will nearly pay
for itself, thus offering a specula-
ton as well as investment.

OF course. it's best to have form
Willie Hoppe has 1t in billiards and is
master Bobby Jones has it in golf
and is called Americas most notable
contribution to the sport. No ball
player ever had better form than Nap
I.ajoie in field or at bat. Lajoie will
always rank with the immortals.
So If you play your favorite sport
according to Hoyle--meeting the de-
mands of specific technique - you
are on the right track.
If you don't--well. maybe you are
ON the right track anyway.
No golfer ever had worse form off
the tee than Ted Ray, the giant Brit
Usher, who won the American open
championship at Toledo in 1920 He
tore at the ball with a lash and smash
that was startling. At the end of his
swing he would be lettering periously
on the tip of his left toe. You en-
pected to see him go tumbling to the
earth, fiat on his. expansive back. But
he didn't. His drives sailed through
the air with tremendous force and un-
wavering accuracy, No other player
drove better, or as far. Yet he was
utterly without form as form is
known in golf.
Form In The Ring
You are supposed to respect the
teachings of form in the prize ring.
Most all the champions have been I'm
ished performers in this respect. jim
Corbett had beautiful form, and set
the style for Americans. Abe Atteii,
Willie Lewis Packy Mcfarland, Mike
Gibbons, Jack Britton and Johnny
Kilbane were interesting performers
in action. Neat punchers, deft block
ers, f1ashy footworkers. They did their
work well--snd properly.
Form is not without its enthusiastic
supporters in the ring today. You
will travel a long and circuitous road
before you find more formful boxer
than Benny Leonard, and, as a hitter,
Jack Dempsey has matchless form
We never saw a fighter who could get
more power behind a short blow. You
never hear that Dempsey has hurt
his hands. That's proof OF his correct
hitting form.
Now for the boys who have no form
at all and vet are ON top. Johnny
Dundee Is the featherweight cham
pion OF the world. Dundee ignores
all the established fundamentals. Does
nothing according to Queonsberry
Has a clownish style and is what is
known as a bad hitter Yet he's a
world champion. And deserving
one. Ten years ago he was good
enough to hold his own with Kilbane

his prime.
