Linke Great in Cd Win.

THE final touch was ADDED yeSter-
day. Harris decided to give rookie
Ken Chase fling at starting game
and he might have rued it. Ken
couldn't get the ball over the plate
during his three innings Of toll and
when he was yanked the score was
40 in favor of the Orioles. 1t looked
as II this collection of minor-leaguers
for the second year in a row, were
going to snap a Washington winning
streak.
Eddie Linke succeeded Chase and
he left the business of catching up
entirely to the bats Of his mates and
himself. Eddie settled down and
pitched six Of the prettiest innings
of his career, hurting hitless and run
less ball. Had it not been for inter-
ference on the part of Rookie Catcher
Herb Crompton not a single Oriole
would have reached first base on Ed,
20 good was he yesterday.
The Griffs could do little good
against Harry Matuzak, the former
AS hurler. He held them scoreless
for three innings Against Dusty
Rhodes they managed to get two runs
but the game went into the seventh
inning and it looked as if the Orioles
were destined to win.

badly, however, and walked off. the

took his place and the bases were
loaded. After Fred Sington popped
up Johnny Stone walked, forcing
across a run and making it 43.
The next inning, the eighth, found
Petit and the Orioles as whole
going haywire. Shanty Hogan, Linke

Baltimore helped things by making
four errors afield When the smoke
had cleared the score was GA and
Linke saw to it that it remained that
way.
It was quite boost for Linke, that
performance yesterday. He had every
thing and some to spare. In his six
innings he had six strikeouts to his
credit and only one ball ever got
past the infield.

-FOUR WINS GAINED
OVER SOUTHPAWS
Petit Pounded as Orioles
Are Beaten-Linke HurIs
in Fine Form.
BY FRANCIS E. STAN,
Stan CORRESPONDENT OF The Star.

~ RLANDO Fla, March 90
1 Joy reigns supreme in this
training camp of the Ma
~ tionals today.
Sure. they've won six in row, but
that isn't the real reason. The cause
for all the back-slapping delves bit
under the surface of agate box scores.
Washington, after all, can beat left
handed pitchers.
The Griffs, you see, were supposed
to be fair prey for southpaWs because
Bucky Harris ostensibly has too many
southpaw hitters in the lineup
Washingtons pennant chances have
been held more lightly because of this
item. Opponents have attempted to
capitalize on it.
Yet, in the wake of their latest tri-
umph by a 6-to-4 count over Balti-
mores Orioles, the Nationals boast an
unblemished record against left-hand-
ers. Of the half dozen decisions they
have won in seven Grapefruit
League" starts the Griffs have grabbed
four at the expense of southpaVs.
The one yesterday at Winter Garden
was the game to write home about
from a left-handed angle. Going into
the seventh inning the Nationals we're
trailing, 4 to 2, and the Orioles chose
left-handed Leon Petit. an old Grlff-
man, to protect this lead. 1t was not
until this point that Washington bats
began to beat a tune.
Sox, Tigers Tried in Vain.
THE Griffs got their first taste of
left-handed pitching last Sunday
when the Phlllies invaded Orlando
and threw Bob Burke at them. Bob
supposedly was to have two advan-
tages: Cd being left-handed and (2)
knowing washington hitters because
he spent eight years in Washington
uniform.
Bobby found that neither advan-
tages, if such they were, aided him to
any great extent. The Griffs jumped
on him for a SO lead in the first in
ming and when the second frame
ended he was out of the box and the
Griffs coasted to a 15-to-7 decision.
Maybe Joe Cronin didn't believe it.
Anyway, Joe started southpaw Archie
McKain the following day when the
Red Sox invaded. For two innings
McKain got by. Then the Grlfts
knocked a run off him and pounded
Archie for two more and a 80 lead
In the third They won.
Mickey Cochrane probably didn't
scour the box scores. Anyway he
tossed two southpaws at the Wash
ingtons on Tuesday at Lakeland. The
first, Bob Logan. retired while facing
I'll deficit in the third inning. The
second, Joe Sullivan, was we'll pounded
and when he left the premises the
count was 6-1.

Return Of Prosperity
Viewed as Factor
In Condition
BY JOHN DEAN MILLIGAN
Real Estate Editor

SSNeSA A1SbsSSS ASAASS1
Among the most significant Of
statistical facts on the real estate
industry in the District of Column
bia today is the growth of apart
ments in relation to the total num-
Der of dwelling units provided.
In 1888, according to figures as
sembled by George Titus, promo
ton manager of The Washington
Times advertising department,
multifamily dwellings accounted
for only II per cent Of the entire
number Of units constructed. BY
February Of this year, however.
units in apartment houses had In
creased to represent rs per cent of
the total units built in that month.
The phenomenon lends verify to
the contention that the erection
Of apartments is certain indica-
ton Of returning prosperity. On
the other hand, some observers
declare dogs chase their tails and
hence returning prosperity may be
responsible for the rise in multi
family units.
Rapid Rise Shown
Eliminating two-family struc-
lures, the number Of which has
been negligible in every recent
year, Titus discovered from figures
supplied by the Bureau Of Labor
Statistics that in 1880, when 1852
units were constructed, the divi-
sion between single family dwell
tngs and apartments was even.
The next year, which saw 1905
units built, found multi-family
units taking a jump to 81 per
cent. From 1881 to 1888, however,
both the total number of units
and the percentage contained in
apartments dropped alarmingly,
until in the first year Of the New
Deal it was found only $50 units
were planned, Of which only 66,
or II per cent, were other than
single family homes.
By 1884 the realty upSwing had
begun, and 968 units were con-
structed. OF these, ZIG or % per
cent were in multi-family struc.
lures. In 1885 the upswing con-

This year has seen the trend be-
come even more pronounced. Dur

only two months more units
were started than was the case
during the entire year Of 1884.
The units totaled 1893, Of which

Naturally, reasons for the trend
cannot be found in a study Of
countrywide economic conditions,
