HARTFORD SHOULD
LIKE VIC HANSON

Vic Hanson, the great all-round
athlete of Syracuse university, did
good turn for baseball in Hart
ford this spring. After Vic sign
ed with the Yankees he suggest
ed that he had a friend who was
ball player, too, and possibly
the Yankees would like to look
him over. The Yankees would
and did. The friend was Bill
Eiseman, full grown catcher,
who will be good hitter some
day. He needed experience so
Manager Higgins shipped him to
Hartford to get it. There he hits
a home run every once and
while and seems to be doing bet
ter than his buddy, Vic Hanson,
now with Syracuse in the New
York-Pennsylvania league.

HUGHIE CRITZ MUST
KNOW SUMTHlN'

Hughie Critz, acrobatic second
baseman, of the Cincinnati Reds,
who comes up with hard hit balls
in a fashion most annoying to the
Reds opponents, was born Way
Down South SO close to the mud
dy waters of the Mississippi river
that he must get homesick every
time he hears the song about "Ol'
Man River" He's much on the
order of the song for he Don't
say nothin' but must know sum-
thin"-about making double plays.
He goes rolling along" figuring
in two-ply killings at frequent in
tervals.
The Mississippi boy hasn't par
ticipated in all the Cincinnati
double plays, but he and his
shortstopping side-partner, Horace
Ford, have been conspicuous in a
great majority. In their first 40
games the Reds made go double
plays. If they continue to keep
anywhere near this killing pace
they will make new record for
the season. The mark they have
to beat is 1872, set by Washington
in 1923. The Reds are co-hold
ers with the Pirates for a record
number in a single game, six in
1925 against the Giants. II Hughie
Critz keeps his health, Jack Hend-
ricks' boys may approach 200 for
the season.
The unassuming but aggressive
collegian has shown what a diff
ference one player makes by his
work for the Reds this season.
Last year he was at outs with the
management and did not report
until the season was on. When
he finally hit his stride it was too
late. This year he reported at
Orlando training camp with the
early birds and between playing
ball in the morning and after
noon and fishing in the twilight
he was in great shape at the
start.
There will be votes cast for
Hughie for the most valuable
player trophy if Cincinnati gets
anywhere in the race. At the mo-
ment the Reds are not taking any
considerable amount of dust from
any OF the National league clubs.

Small Dwelling Has Dis
tinctive Exterior Follow
ing English Lines.
CEMENT STUCCO
USED WITH SIDING
Three Bedrooms, a Roomy
Bath and Six Closets on
Second Floor.
RY L. PORTER MOORE,

President Home owners Institute, Inc.
Here is a small dwelling with dis
tinctive exterior following English archi-
tectural lines that has six rooms, bath,
sun room, breakfast alcove and garage,
designed for a 40-foot plot, that after
construction has been found a. thor
oughly practical and entirely comfort
able home. Such tested designs are
uncommon This home in EngleWood,
NJ j., was designed by w. H. BeardSlee
of Hackensack, NJ j. The house con-
tains 24,500 cubic feet, and is offered
as plan No. $685..
Cement stucco with wide brown
stained siding and shingles have been
used for the exterior, with brick CHM
ney, easement windows for the sun
room and iron hardware in English
design. Slate floors for the entry and
hearth.
Due to the location of the stairs, one
has access to the second floor from the
kitchen without having to pass through
other rooms, feature that has several
advantages. A pleasantly large living
room with well placed fireplace and sun
room of good size are points about the
first-f1oor plan that are worth noting
On the secnd floor there are three
good bedrooms, roomy bath and SIX
closets Additional space is gained for
the bedrooms by an overhang of the
second story on the front of the house
which is not evident due to exterior
design.
# the builder of this design gives
careful thought to selection of hard
ware and lighting fixtures, and makes
suitable allowance in his budget for
these items, the appearance of the fin
ished home will repay him.
1t is attention given to such details
that makes home out of the ordinary
and pleasing, even If it is no more costly
than neighboring dwellings.
Floor plans of this house are illus
trated on page II.

Protection of the public against fraud,
mismanagement or poorly conceived
projects in the cooperative apartment
field, with the resultant protection al
forded the legitimate operator in this
phase of residential construction, was
the keynote Of principal addresses deliv-
cred at the annual meeting OF the CO.
operative apartment division OF the
National Association of Real Estate
Boards.
The "tri-city" convention of the divi-
sion, of which r. Bates Warren OF this
city is chairman, opened here Monday,
adjourning to meet the next day in
Philadelphia and Wednesday and
Thursday in New York.
Wide use of the consultation bureau
set up this year by the division will ef-
fectively protect the buyer of CO.
operative apartment from fraudulent
operations or those patiently unsuc-
ceSsful from the start, it was declared
at the session here by Albert W. SWayne,
active Chicago cooperative apartment
operator a director of the division.
This bureau, he explained, makes
technical study of the legal, financial,
architectural and sales plans of pro-
posed cooperative apartment projects,
upon application by developers, and
eertif1es those found properly organized.
He expressed the belief that when the
services of this bureau become widely
used. it will be virtually impossible for
an operator whose project does not
come up to standard to market his
buildings.
Only One Failure Here.
During the session, Chairman Warren
referred to the failure of local apart:
ment offered on the cooperative own.
ership plan, which, he said, was the
only one of 80 cooperative projects
here to fail with financial loss to any
one.
A site for a projected apartment
building to be owned comparatively by
its tenants should be so chosen that
there is almost positive assurance of
enhancing ground value, according to
Frank j. O'Brien of Chicago, who ad-
dressed special meeting of the divi-
zion in New York
Here are the essentials which he out
lined for the protection of tenant
owner in such a project:

OF COOPERATIVE APARTMENT
National Real Estate Body Sets Up Bureau
toMake Technical Study of
Group Projects.

The site should be in district with
promising future, one which incorpo-
rates all the requirements of well Sc
lected residential site.
The building itself should incorpo-
rate the bset of materials and the best
OF workmanship.
The layout and provision for ven-
tilation and light should be such as
would be incorporated in fine family
residence. The rooms should be large,
the layout commodious and practical.
Abundant Closet Space.
To please apartment dwellers who
want to own their apartment homes
every such unit must have an abun-
dance of closet space, and all the nice
ties included in the modern single FAM
lily residence.
To protect the purchaser the legal
forms used in the setting up OF the
organization must conform to the STAN
dards worked out by the national asso-
citation, which has set up constitu-
ton bureau to advise on cooperative
building projects in their formative
stage.
Escrow agreements should be used as

the individual apartment and to the
man whose capital is making possible
its development.
The escrow should provide a down
payment with the application, method
of payment of balance on or before oc-
cupancy of the apartment, Mr.. O'Brien
held. It should provide also at what
period in sales activity the eScrows
should be closed out and delivery of
title for apartments shall be made to
all purchasers in the development, and
should provide that no money shall be
turned over to the developer until such
time as the building is sold and pay
ment Of the completed building is aSsur-
ed, free of mechanics liens, he said.
1T is unfair, unjust and hazardous
for a developer to permit purchaser to
pay us his equity either in cash or note
until such times as the developer knows
the building is to be completely sold.
ANY variance from this policy jeop-
ardizes the purchasers interests, and
develops real dangers to the progress of
cooperative apartment development,
he said

A consultation bureau for subdivision
projects will be set up by the National
Association Of Real Estate Boards
through its home builders and subdivid-
ers division.
The bureau is to be a machinery
through which subdivider. at the time
he is planning a subdivision project,
may get the advice of group of experts

tails of subdivision project in its
formative stage. In examining the
project in detail the group, appointed
by the division from among It's mem
berEhip, would have the advice of COM
petent conSultantS on problems of city
planning, engineering and law. It
would give the developer whatever Sug-
gestion it found advisable for the bet
ter planning or plotting of the Subdivi-
sion, for better financial set-up, or for
better sales plan. or any other Sugges-
lion that experience indicates would
better the project as piece of sound
city building.
If it finds that the project as exam
med meets In every way the standards
pet up by the division, the bureau win
be authorized to certify that fact to the
public. The setting up of such a con-
Sultation service should eventually pre-
clude the marketing of Il-advised pros
jects, according to AYel LonnquiSt, Chi
cago, chairman of the division.
Bureau Already Operated.

plan through which the association is

bureau TO advise upon cooperative
apartment projects in the formative
stage and through which it has begun
the practice of certifying cooperative
building projects which are found to

Oy ACTIVITIES.
Real estate is a business of many
complications and very close specializa-

estate activities divide themselves into
four major groups; developers. who i'm
prove acreage and sell it in homesites;
operators, who build homes for sale;
brokers. whose field is the resale of
properties, and agents, who manage
renting properties.
The real estate developer is the man
or the organization which takes over
raw acreage, or farm land, for develop
ment and allotment purposes, lays it
out. improves it. and markets it as
homesites After the pioneer, who
blazes the trail. pulls the stumps and
redeems the land from the wilds of
nature, the developer lays the founda-

TRIM REFLECTS SKILL.

Molding Around Doors and Win
dows Holds Charm.
Trim around door and window OPEN
ings has always reflected the skill of
the designer and the pocketbook of the
owner. Thus the Colonial mansions
which have been preserved to us show
a charming richness of molding, which
goes far to create the stately impress
sion these houses give the visitor.
The gingerbread" architecture of the
'80s and '90s witnessed an elaboration
of nodded trim which lacked all charm.
The natural reaction resulted in the abb
solutely plain trim sometimes called
