The full flavor of the charming
cottage style of rural England is
found in this unusual house.
And further, it does not require a
large lot to give a proper setting.
The front measures thirty-one feet,
which with an additional nine feet
for a driveway; gives lot frontage
of forty feet. OF course, additional
frontage would give more open
space, but forty feet is all that is
really necessary.
The design of the exterior has
been given much study by the
architects. The composition is un-
usual and striking and the details
are full of variety and interest.
Milford chronicle., 1927-09-16

For all the character we find in
the exterior design, the plans are a
perfect compliment in practical and
livable qualities.
Note the compact and convenient
arrangement of rooms with hall
space reduced to a minimum.
This house gives the ideal COM
bination of an artistic exterior, liv-
able interiors and a practical plan.
The laundry, heater space and
such are in the cellar.
Cost about $4,000.
Complete working plans and
specifications of this house may be
obtained for a nominal sum from
the Building Editor. Refer to House
A-69.

Matches in the ladder series to be
staged by the District Women's

opening of the regular round robin

to the players by Ruth Cur1an, secre-
tary.
Cards are being sent out today. ac-

will be expected to get in touch with

Places on the ladder have been

judging by previous records of the
players. Miss Curran states that the
ladder arrangement is considered in
no way as rating. Racketers may
be placed above or below the post
tion they should occupy and it is for
them to challenge the players above
them and re-adjust their positions.
Any player, who advances a rung
and desires to advance further may
call Miss Curran at North 2015 and
obtain the name of the player next
higher. There is no limit to the num-
ber of challenges which can be given
and accepted. Matches may be play
ed off on concrete, players being
advised that there are courts avail
able at Seventeenth and B streets
northwest, at the Sixteenth street
reservoir and at the reservoir on
Reno road.
Players should report results of
matches to Miss Curran as soon as
they are played.
1t was decided by the COM
mittee not to publish the lat

as it would represent more authenti-
cally the rating of the players by
that time. Teams will be picked in
April for the round robin event. with
the first eight players on the ladder
being assigned to the eight No. l posi-
tions. Aside from the No. l players,
teams will be allowed to remain or
ganized as they have been in the past,

that players will be rated on their
teams according to their ladder play,
rather than according to the judg.

first base ball lineup and summary
of the season.
Bentley's Braves and Eiornsby's
Heroes at the Giant training camp at
Sarasota wound up in a 6-6 tie.
Rogers Hornsby answered reports OF
lost batting eye with a single and
triple: Muller belted a double and Il

In addition to gathering three singles,
Paulsen, a red-haired rookie, shared a
long fly in circus fashion.
Miller Higgins looked his squad over
at ST. Petersburg and tossed out a
carton of baseballs to the biggest
looking squad of youngsters he had

Dutch Reuther, looking fine after
recovery from an intestinal operation
during the winter. came in with a

PHILADELPHIA, March 1 GP).-Al
Simmons, slugging outfielder of the
Philadelphia Athletics, has been disci-
plined by Manager Mack for knocking
a home run.
AT Fort Myers, Fla, Simmons
stepped into one of Walberg's fast
curves and drove it over the center
field fence. Manager Mack cautioned
him for swinging so hard on his first
day, and then sent him to the outf1eld
to chase flies. Bates and Hale also
knocked the ball over the fence, and
Eddie Collins made several solid hits.

ported at camp.

Ed Clough here during the series last

with the club in which he started his

expected to relieve manager Bob
O'Farrell of some of the burden. With
Snyder yesterday came Jim Bottom

Manager Dan Howley of the

|CAN FRANCISCO. March L.
While 1.-TWO National League
clubs are taking their Spring
~ grind on the Pacific Coast, eight
teams of the Pacific Coast
League are busy at work in their
training camps which are located at
points not remotely distant from San
Francisco in the center of the cir
cult and are scattered to the Los An
geles district in the southern half.
Major league scouts may not be spy
ing at these camps at the moment. but
il is only a matter of time before
they will be scouting these Coast
teams, for out of this State with its
wonderful sunshine and vitalizing air
come ball players who in their time
have helped to make not only base
ball history in the East, but champion
ship teams as we'll
This Pacific Coast is alive with q
lot of that good old fashioned base
ball enthusiasm which centers in the
teams of the schools, the towns and
the cities and in the teams of sand
lots-semipros, they call them in the
East.
The base ball that is so freely on tap
here is that which has for it's founda-
ton the undying enthusiasm of the
man who has played himself. They
talk base ball in Pacific Coast League
territory more out of deep-seated in
terest in the game itself than from in
terest in its stars, or it's teams. That
is the kind of base ball interest that
sinks home and makes old-timers
smack their lips with the keen zest
of it's taste.
IF we create stars, we lose them to
the big leagues" said one man with a
rueful expression. "They take them
away from us just when we want
them most"
Want No Draft.
In that expression may be read the
perfectly natural aversion of this long
expanse of territory up and down the
shore of the Pacific Ocean to the Gus
tom Of draft. They tried it in a modi-
fed form, and We're no better pleased
than they We're with draft of no
concession, embracing the taking of
any player If he were eligible for pre-
emptiOn.
George r.. Davis, sports editor on
the San Francisco Bulletin, is inclined
to believe that the Pacific Coast
League cannot be induced to alter its
refusal to accept the draft. With the
Pacific Coast League assuming that
attitude; with the International
ACdSuo COIltlHulLS us original aver
sion to the draft. and with the Amer
lean Association against it by recent
vote, it is evident that base ball leg
islators are in for protracted discus
sion. !
This is inevitable for a settlement
of affairs contingent upon the seven
additional years of official activity
! that have been given to Judge Landis
One reason they don't like the draft
out here is that they think it belittles
their organization.
