TnnEN GARDENS:

On one Of the most pictur.
eSque spots in Washington, is a
group of buildings having apart
ments of every size and descrip-
ton. Beautiful well-kept lawns,
flower beds and lovely walks
through the gardens are avail
able to the tenants and their
guests. Each building has its
own garage and janitor. The
apartment I visited today was
very clever in it's arrangements
and deserves many compliment
airy remarks. A huge fireplace
in the living room lends a great
deal to the comfort of the apart
ment, added to the pleasure Of
living in this apartment is that
out of your window you can see
Handicapped grounds which are
magnificent even when covered
with a mantle of white. The
rental asked is $685. 90.
18TH AND r STREETS N. w.:
One of the cleverest arranged
apartments in three-room,
kitchen and bath suite that I
have seen was this one located
at Sixteenth and r Streets. A
large reception hall divides the
kitchen and living room from
the two sleeping rooms, one Of
which could he used for din
ing room, if two bedrooms were
not necessary. Across the front
of the apartment was a sun
porch. Hotel service including
switchboard and elevator SER
vice are some Of the advantages
offered. A very convenient To-
cation in every respect as
churches of all denominations
are in the vicinity, as well as
stores and schools. I can safely
recommend this ideal suite.
II interested in any OF the
above places, fill out the coupon

vtse you the desired information.

Due to the great number OF
requests for Barbara Holmes
SerDtce, ALL INQUIRIES MUST
BE MADE BY mail or q personal
Utsit. Please DO NOT make
requests BY telephone.
18TH AND M STREETS N. W.:
If you have a large family and
wish to live downtown here's
the right place for you. An
apartment building offering ele-
vator and switchboard service
has a unit vacant at this time
consisting of five rooms and
bath. The kitchen was partic-
ularly large and offered plenty
Of space for meal preparation.
This is an ideal location as the
head of the family could walk to
work and the younger members
could walk to school,, which
would be a way to economiZe.
The housewife would only have
a few blocks to go to market so
I think it would suit them all.
The rental asked is more than
reasonable for value offered.
LOWER 18TH STREET:
On lower 10th Street in a
modern up-to-date apartment
building I found one of the
most attractive apartments in
town. Three large rooms with
entrance foyer, large dinette,
completely appointed kitchen
and bath, all for the modest
rental of SITS. The bath has a
shower, one of the first things
the man of the house looks for
when he is searching for a per-
manent home. If your office is
in any of the Government
buildings, it is an easy walk to
work, which would also be bene-
fetal to your health. This Unit
would take care of the family
who must have two bedrooms
and who would like to keep the
rental down.

USE
NEW SYSTEM

NEW YORK, March is G.N.
S.).-This years indoor Intercol-
legiate polo championship, which
starts here March 81, is to be
run under special handicaps
made specifically for this tourna-
ment. Under the general handi-
Gaping system Of polo, players
are rated at annual or Semi-an-
nual handicap committee meet
ings which judge them, chiefly,
on their form of the past sea-
son. Under the new system,
which the colleges used for last
June's outdoor tournament and
now, for the first time, indoors,
players are rated shortly before
the start of the tournament and
on the basis of their play dur
ing the current season.
This is considered a fairer
method than the old for the
college player because form often
changes during the course Of a
seasons play and, with this
method, it is less likely players
and teams will be unfairly handi-
capped.
The Washington times., 1934-03-15

The team will workout on a
vacant field in the rear of the
school.
Coach o. L. Driver has eight
letter-men back from last year
Captain "Bus" Drummer, Clayton
Long, George Tyson, Meade Pal
mer, Eddie Kicker, Dick Strickler,
Johnny Kaminsky and Bank Da-
vieS.
Hard to Replace
The greatest difficulty the team
will have to face will be replacing
"Pete" Bunch, stellar quarter
miller of last year. Driver will
bank heavily on Wiseman, FIX,
Puglisi, Goings, and Mortimer, all
members Of last years team, who
did not receive letters.
"BuS" Drummer was largely re-
Sponsible for the formation of
team. He not only circulated a
petition among the students, but
had several conferences with
Driver and Principal S. F. Van
derslice on the subject. Brunner
said:
"T think we will have the
best team to ever represent
the school on the cinder path.
Long is our standOut performer
and I believe he can take 10
points in any dual meet"
Long throws the discus, pole
vaults and runs on the relay.
Brunner, high point scorer of
last season, expects Long to give
him a run for high scorer this
season. Drummer runs the 100,
220, and Is anchor man on the
relay team.

has achieved the splendid record
of 80 victories, four defeats and
one tie. In four of the sports
fencing, water polo, gymnastics
and bore rifle shooting, it is un-
defeated, and strongly in the run

Ended GlOriously
The basketball season, during
which the Navy team has won II
games and lost two, ended glori-
ously with defeats registered
against Pennsylvania, leaders of
the intercollegiate Association,
Army.
Navy lost to Duke and Catholic
University in early games, and

TIGER JOB

There is one job open IN the
Detroit outfield. That spot is
the left garden. Mickey Coch-
rane, manager Of the Tigers, has
decided to start the season with
the veteran Goose Goslin in
right field and Fox in center.
That leaves Gerald Walker, the
temperamental outfielder, to bat
tie it out with White, Shiver and
Doljack. All four are fair out
fielders and pretty goood hitters.
Might Be Safe
Had it not been for his DISPOSE
ton, Walker might be safe in
his job, but he had so many
clashes with Bucky Harris when
he was manager of the Tigers
that he lost out and now must
face the first battle he has had
since he Joined the Detroit team
as a recruit from the sticks.
Walker knows that he Is fac
ing a hard job to beat down
those three hustlers, but so eager
is he to show that he wants to
play every day that he has writ
ten to owner Frank Navin for
permission to go to Florida with
the battery men to work out be-
fore the training grind begins.
Walker also has written to
Manager Cochrane to the effect
that though he has a reputation
as q trouble maker he wants to
start clean as far as Cochrane
goes.
Ancient History
The Tigers new leader has told
him that what happened under
Harris is now ancient history
and won't be held against any
player who is out there trying.
Cochrane knows how to handle
Walker. The young player gets
het up by the riding from the
rival bench.
Cochrane, having had a hand
in the jockeying Of the Detroit
outfielder, will see that he goes
about his work next season like
a veteran.
