RADIO RECEPTION

This column may later on attempt some
comments on radio programs, but for the
present it Will concern itself wi tn the
me chaaics Of reception. Radio programs
really are not of much value unless they
can be heard.
Grcsnbelt realizes Utopian dreams in
many ways--but not. in radio reception.
The situation, however, is far from
hopeless, and may be improved consider
ably through cooperation Of radio levers.
It is wi SO ruling in the residen-
tial lease which provides that tenants
shall not erect outside wires for radios
or for other purposes. None of us
would want a network Of wires strung
haphazardly over the roofs.
Nevertheless, lack Of an outside
aerial very dofini tely hampers reception.
Mr.. FL1mer, assistant community manager,
assures me that coordinated expire ssion
of opinion on the part Of the residents
will be given every consideration pos
sible.
With this in mind, We are going to
conduct another one Of those surveys
for which Greenbelt is already famous.
Everyone Interested in this problem is
urged to help in i is solution. Jot down
few words about your radio reception,
mentioning such points as type of radio,
aerial, ground, re ception in the morning,
afternoon, and evening.
Washington stations, other stations,
short wave, best stations etc. Please
add your name and address. This report
may be dropped in The Cooperator Box at

out of Joint at the most unexpected
and alarming moments. 1t seems
that he bumped a runner one day
and laughed as he put the tag on
his victim.
'TT get you for this" snarled
the victim.
McGraw forgot the warning, but
the victim didn't. The next time
around the outraged runner leaped
into McGraw and almost knocked
him out of the lot.
McGraw was an engaging per-
sonality at all times, even in his
outbursts of temper. In these, his
flow of language was original and
highly instructive.
One of his favorite stories was
of Steve Brodie, the old center
fielder. Brodie, like many slug
gers, hated to see a good ball pass
the plate. But Ned Hanlon often
ordered a player to take a strike.
"Steve," Hanlon said one day,
you're great, but you're easy to
pitch to. Make them work; wait
them out. Don't strike at ball.
Brodie burned to a delicate
brown and resolved to show up his
critics.
Time to Wait Out
He went up one day with two
on base and the other team lead
ing by a run. He resolved that
this was the time to wait out the
pitcher.
"Strike one" bawled the UNI
pire.
BrOdie gIared at the bench.
"Strike twO," hOwled the Off
ciaI.
Again BrOdie gIared at Han
lon.
Hit this 'un. Steve" yelled
HanlOn.
Once more the pitcher wound
up and let go the ball.
"Strike three; yer out" yelled
the official.
'Well, how do you like that
waiting?" demanded BrOdie,
and from that time on Steve hit
when and what he liked.
The story of McGraw as a man.
ager, as fearless maker of trades,
and an exponent of iron discipline
on ball clubs need not be reviewed
here. He was not above criticism
on or off the field. What man Of
direct action and violent temper is
immune from the arraignment OF
friends and enemies. But John j.
McGraw has won his place in base
ball both as player and manager.

DednDettonPins
GaribaIdi In
Jig Time

If Dean Detton, the Utah
Uhlan, actually was world heavy
weight wrestling champion last
night, before he tackled Gino
Garibaldi, then Detton today re-
mains world wrestling champion.
Detton tossed Garibaldi in 2912
minutes with a cradle hold, what
ever that is.
The boy from Utah vas a bit
rough, according to those who
profess to a deep knowledge Of
wrestling. He was warned for
fouling, but he managed to escape
the wrath of the referee, Benny
Bortnick.
Big Crowd
A capacity crowd watched the
bout or exhibition or act or what
ever a wrestling contest Or COM
petition is known as. The bout or
exhibition or act or what-have-you
was held in Turnc S Arena, which
on wrestling nights is just Tur-
ner'S Arena, while on fight nights
it is Arnica Hall.
The end of the act or bout or
exhibition came just as it ap-
peared that the leading man Det-
tom was about to take a tumble
from his championship perch.
Gino had Dean or his back, that
is, Detton was on his own back
on the floor of the ring, or stage,
with the italian on top and look
ing very much like the victor.
Gino had a leg hold on Detton
and was giving the champion bit
of real rough stuff wnen the
champ by some sort of quick ac-
ton put the dear old cradle hold
on Garibaldi and the battle was
over before you could say Dean
Detton.
Katan TriumphS
In other bouts, or acts, or COM
petitions, or whatever wrestling
affairs are known as, John Katan
out-acted George Mcleod in 10
minutes with a body press, the
final gesture; Abe Coleman and
Jack Haden acted through to a
Commute draw; Henri Piers, of
Holland, Mich, and way stations,
disposed of Harry Finklestein in
IL minutes with flying scissors,
and Andy Meixner went down be-
fore Bill Sledge (no relation to
the hammer) in 1872 minutes with
a hold known as the kangaroo
kick and body press-a hold which
resembles a cannibal sandwich
after being stepped on by a
donkey.
The Washington times., 1937-01-22

1t may be said in passing that
hall Of baseball fame without
the plaque of the Little Napo-
leon is no more complete than an
arch would be with the keystone
missing.
1t may be that the present day
and order of men voting on the
qualifications of baseball figures
regard John j. McGraw merely as
manager.
Yet he qualities for the Hall of
Fame at Cooperstown because he
did not step down permanently
from the ranks of active players
until after he joined the Giants in
1902.
Reached Peak With Orioles
1t was at Baltimore that Nc
Graw reached the peak of his fame
as a third baseman. He played
with Willie Keeler, Steve Brodie,
Joe Kelly, Hughie Jennings, Kid
Gleason, Sadie Mcmahon and the
others who made the old Orioles
a synonym for diamond greatness.
McGraw was not the greatest
third baSeman in the history of
the game, as we figure defensive
values. But he was fast, game
and aggressive. He was a great
hitter at time when the ball was
not the jack rabbit thing we know
today. McGraw was one of the
best baSerunnerS of his day or any
other day. He always contended
that, over span of years, he had
the best percentage of stolen bases
in the game. But authentic fig
ureS were lacking, and his conten-
ton never could be proved.
Hitand-Run Artist
McGraW was one of the leading
hit-and-run artists of baseball.
The old Orioles developed this
play to something of a fine art.
Keeler would get on base, and
either McGraw or Jennings would
hit into right field-or left-ac-
cording to the break of the rival
defense.
McGraw was guardian of the
turn for home in the days of hurly-
burly baseball. 1t was not consid-
cred unethical at the time for a
runner to cut third base by 10
feet if the umpire-and they had
only one umpire in those days
happened to be engaged at an
other base during a game. Nor
was it considered unethical for
a third-baseman to bump a run
ner, knocking him 10 feet-or 30.
out of base line, and then slap
ping the ball on him.
McGraw was master Of all base
ball technique. He could be deft,
and he could be rough. But if
those who live by the sword shall
perish by the sword, who can deny
that those who flourished by the
art Of humping, shall be cut down
in repriSal?

BY SID KATZNELL

It Is plain to see why Occidental
Restaurant is lodged in second
place in the famed District Bowl
ing League and within striking
distance Of first place. The Buch-
holtz entry boasts three of the
highest average duckpinners in the
league. They are Astor Clarke,
1858; Bill Krauss, 12415, and
Perce Wolfe, 124-12.
All three contributed fine scores
to Occidental's record-breaking set
of 1888, which took Georgetown
over the hurdles for two games last
night. Perce Wolfe, the pride OF
Hyattsville and the country's most
valuable spiller, especially lent
helping hand. He shot 439 set,
a new individual season record,
bettering the old mark established
by Howard Parsons two months
ago by two pins. Wolfe's games
were 143, 145 and Isl. Krauss
took second honors with a 407 set.
Krauss Is "HOt"
Incidentally, young Krauss Is
just burning up the naples. In
his last II sets he has turned in
eight 400 sets.
Wait! That's not all. Krauss
possesses the highest individual
average in league competition in
the District. He is carrying a
1862 in the Kilowatt League.
Rose Liquor regained possession
of first place by winning two games
from Convention Hall. The veteran
Make Rosenberg was the hero in
Roses triumphs, shooting a 379
set.
Heurich Brewers gained a tie for
fourth position with Lucky Strike
when they defeated the latter in
a pair of contests. Paul Jarman'S
385 and Bill Clampitt's 371 fea-
tured the Brewers victory.
Parsons Wins Entry
Howard Parsons won paid-up
entry in the Howard Campbell
Sweepstakes when he noSed out
AL Woods one pin at Lucky Strike
Alleys. He rolled a 391 set. The
Campbell Stakes will start tomor-
row at Georgetown at 1880 p. m.
Two picked teams from the
Washington Elks Bowling League
will travel to Annapolis, Md, to-
morrow night to match pins with
two all-star teams of the Maryland
capital.
Three buses will leave the

the matches the bowlers will be
treated to refreshments and enter
