The, Right Reverend Fulton J. Sheen, noted philosopher, lecturer, preacher and writer, recently began his eighth year as speaker on the Catholic Hour Program over the radio. Among radio programs of various character this feature stands out as a dignified, honest and uplifting one, its speakers talking for the general good along religious, historical and cultural lines. This hour has come to be ap- preciated by all creeds by virtue of the qualifications of the speakers and their choice of subject matter. MOnsignor Sheen has just recently begun 8 most important series, the first group of talks dealing with '"The Social Problem and the Church." the last with "The h. dividual Problem and the Cross" Before and after the talk the Paul. 1st Choristers, as usual, do their liturgical bit in selections by masters of sacred music.
 Twenty years ago President
 Woodrow Wilson delivered a mes
 sage to Congress. Recently PreSi-
 dent Roosevelt repeated this an-
 nual tradition. Parallels and con- trasts between the two addresses separated by a generation of fast
 moving events, will be highlight

 alarming international disorders and undeclared wars.

BY HARRY CRIMSON (SpOrts Editor, NEA Service)

New York, April 18-Nobody can tell Al Schacht that young Bob Teller is as fast as Walter John- son, or that Lefty Grove or any, body else ever threw a baseball with the speed of the Big Train.
 Schacht spent years with Johnson in Washington, where he pitched and coached. Al is vastly more than a clown in this baseball business. He was a fair sort of right-hander himself. He sold peanuts at the Polo Grounds 30 years ago. He's seen every world series but five since 1911. He saw Grover Cleveland Alex ander, Christy Matheson, Jack Pfies- ter, Mordecai Brown and Ed. Walsh Schacht saw the Chicago Cubs beat the New York Giants in the famous playoff game of 1908. He saw Frank Chance bluff John McGraw into let ting the Cubs have batting practice He saw Johnny Kling catching foul flies in shower of bottles and cushions.
 Yes, Al Schacht has seen few ball players, but insists that he has soon only one Walter Johnson.
 And that's all therell ever be, :, saws Al. "He was the greatest pitch CT of them all.
 "Walter Johnson was more than that. He was the sweetest guy-you can't describe him any other way who ever came up. He came into the American League big, friendy honest, brave farmer. He was that for 20 years. He is still that.
 
 Johnson Stood Up in Mud on Bad
 Legs

down with the rain. It stuck in his hair below his cap and hung in his eyebrows.
 "Walter was old and tired. He didn't have thing but heart. We taped both his legs to help him stand in the mud. But he knew we had no other pitcher, so he stayed there, wingin' em the best he could, The man really had courage.
 Roger Peckinpaugh, playing shortstop, was booting them. Poor Peck! His legs were gone, too. But Johnson didn't complain. He didn't say a word about an error. He didn't in 20 years"
 Schacht asserts that only one man in baseball ever made John son mad. It was Sam Rice, who was a splendid outfielder and hitter, but who always had an alibi for a bad play.
 Johnson called Rice one day." re- lates Schacht. "'Good gracious, ani- ball. he said, for that was all the hard language he ever used. You're yellow, Rice. Why don't you stop fooling yourself?' That was all, but coming from Barney, it carried plenty of weight.
 Big Train Simply Threw Fast One
 By Them
 Johnson came up with faSt ball, nothing more. He was throwing just fast ball when Detroit beat him, 2-1, in his first major league game in 1907. He was still throwing it, nothing more, when Pittsburgh beat him for the world championship in 1926. They waited for it. And still he threw it past them"
 Schacht confesses that he was afraid when Johnson was sent out as a relief worker in Washington s final world series game with the Giants in 1924. The game meant $3 ,0O0 to each athlete, and the score was tied. The Polo Grounds had knocked Johnsons ears off in his last start.
 In the 10th. someone tripled with
