CHEAP HOUSING NEED

two years ago some 5000 COM
munity campaigns were organized,
resulting in the blosSoming of new
paint and repair jobs which gave
work to many thousands of idle
workmen and put many millions
of dollars in circulation.
To every such appeal there has
been an immediate response, which
to Washington means but one
thing: The cities are ready for
better housing. They recognize the
need for it. and simply want to
be shown how they can get it.

GASTONIA, N. c., April IL.
The most valiant effort of the At
lanta Crackers to stave off defeat
yesterday was reminiscent Of
World Series battle in its high
baseball standards. But it failed
and the Griffs added another
triumph to their spring list.
In the ninth inning with Myer
and Miles on bases, Sgd Cohen
put down a perfect bunt, the ball
trickled along the third base line,
but Beckman, the Cracker pitcher
swooped down on it, whirled and
threw to third base, getting Myer
at the turn for home. Cohen'S ef-
fort to make Hill, Atlanta's third
sacker field the ball, inSuring the
safe arrival of Myer at the bag
was thwarted.
That same play. made by Morde-
cal Brown of the Cubs to Harry
Steinfeldt in the World Series OF
1908, beat the Tigers and enabled
the Chicago Cubs to maintain
their supremacy Of the nation on
the diamond.
Bill Beckman poured the ball
through to strike out Lewis in the
seventh inning. The third strike
was a fast one that brought q
cheer from the crowd, which was
not such a big crowd at that.
Chapman's second hit of the
game-the first game in which he
got two hits for long time-was
a dribbler off Chatham'S glove.
Beckman certainly knew how to
handle Sington. Three pop fouls
and an infield single was the
total of Fred's offensive for the
day.
sgd Cohen's side-arm curve was
too much for the Crackers in the
pincheS. This was especially true
of the left-handed hitters. who
swung vainly at the leather.
Calvin just about burst the
stitches when he smashed a home
run high in the left-field bleach
ers. Bucky Harris looked him over
carefully. Calvin is rated as just

"a run.of-the-mill catcher in the
Southern Association.
Beckman went too far In at
tempting to humiliate our Ben
Chapman. He hung a curve let
ter high, and Chappie plastered it
for q single.
DeShong opened his pitching
laborS with heave that was five
feet wide Of the plate. But he
closed three on the second gun, or
in some way got the right deflec-
ton and range, and was able to
move along pretty well after that.
The best play of the game, from
a Washington standpoint, came
in the fourth inning. With run.
ners on first and third, Mauldin
ripped one down the third.base
line. 1t looked like a hit, but
Lewis fielded the ball, threw to
Myer, and Buddy shot a perfect
peg to Kuhel to end the inning.
An unearned run enabled the
GriffS to tie the score in the sixth
inning. With Sington on first,
Stone hit a perfect double.play
ball down to Chatham at short.
The fielder booted the ball which
rolled to center field, where Maui.
din booted it. Sington ran hard
and scored before the booting and
the scuffling stopped.

WESTERN TECH MINES FAVORED IN SERIES
Wilson Debut
Dependson
B0rfz
BY GARRETT WATERS

You can take your pick today
when it comes to witnessing the
two interhigh school series base
ball games, scheduled on two
diamonds.
Followers of the mines involved
will do just that when Central en-
tertains Western at the Central
Stadium at $3.50 p. M, and Tech
tackles Woodrow Wilson High at
the Roosevelt Stadium at the same
hour.
From our perch the Western
and Tech teams loom as the vic
tors. western, defending cham
pion, promises to be too power
full for Central what with its vet
eran array lining up for play while
the same situation prevails for
the Tech-Wilson Setto.
Invites Battle
Now this stand, Of course, In
viteS battle. We realize Central
supporters will contend Coach
Jack Raw will send a talented col
lection of youngsters on the field,
not only today, but throughout
the series. And that Western still
must show a pitcher of the 1886
class Of Lee Kushman.
Then Woodrow Wilson'S argu-
ment in connection with its game
with Tech. The Northwest school
believes Kilmer Bortz will make
their cause safe during the cam
paign, contending all the while
that Tech, as a starter, will not
be able to produce a pitcher to
match Bortz's expected fine ef-
forts.
Experience Will Tell
All well and good. But that i'm
portant thing, experience, will en-
ter the picture every moment. To
day, western will fall back upon
such dependables as Lawyer at
short, Lynham at third, Middle
ton in center, Alfoginis behind the
bat, and Oertel in right.
Rafferty,, another vet, will be
on the mound and, should he fail,
Toby Bright, up and coming
Southpaw, will be in reserve.
It is in pitching that Central
will have its troubles. At least
this appears on the surface, since
Coach Jack Ray has only untried
talent to call upon. Four are on
the roster. comprising Noona1,
who'll probably hurl today: Ro-
zelle, Jones and Sondheimer.
D00niS For Tech
Tommy Doonis, little right
handler, will in all likelihood get
the mound assignment for Tech
against Woodrow Wilson'S Bortz.
Doonis will have Teammates Lefty
Sorrell and Buddy Webb to come
to his rescue if he finds the going
too tough. And it is whispered
about that both Sorrell and Webb
are ready right now for top-notch
interhigh Showings.
The remainder of the Tech line
up will be full of experience. Fill
lah, Ceomei and Merchant, 1886
vets, will patrol the outfield, while
LemeriSe at third. Randall at first,
and Wise behind the bat, will form
the Unfolding and catching array.

one of the greatest little pin shoot

U. S. Senate finished in second
place and received the plaudits of
the fans for it's achievement.
You see, this was the first year in
competition for Senate.
BY winning two games from War
Department last night, Govern
ment Printing Office gained third
place on total pins.
With a handicap Of los pins
and shooting 900, Arthur Clark
grabbed the Kilowatt Sweepstakes
prize of $3.50 last night at Lucky
Strike. Charley Herbert took Sec
ond honors, which netted him 10
bucks.
Third prize of $3.50 went to
Vernon Soper, and fourth honor
was garnered by Norman Kessler,
who received 81.
Ken Abernathy's 404 played a
prominent part in Romans sweep

Andrew Mellon
Offers u. S. Gift
Former Secretary of Treasurer
and Multi-Millionaire Writes
President Roosevelt

The White House has recently re-
ported that Andrew w. Mellon, Sec
rotary of the Treasury in the Hoover
administration, has offered his $19,-
100000 art collection to the govern
ment and asked that President
Roosevelt would recommend that
Congress accept it.
Correspondence between the Pres
ident and the Pittsburgh multi-mil-
ionaire disclosed that Mellon also
had offered to build at his own ex-
pense an 100000 or 100000
National Gallery of Art" in Wash
ington to house his famous collection
and other art treasures.
Detailed terms of the offer were
handed personally by Mellon to
President Roosevelt New Years Eve.
The Chief Executive in a letter pre-
viously had termed the offer avon
derful' one.
Mellon and administration offici-
ais have been sharply at odds in the
past over the proposed gift and 9TH
er matters. In a suit which the Unit
ed States board of tax appeals now
has under advisement, the govern
ment has sought to collect $3,O75, 103
from the former Treasury chief as
back taxes and penalties.
