salvage program in Washington de-
pends largely On the cooperation
of apartment owners and managers,

these owners to collect tin cans pre-
pared by their tenants.
To help achieve this goal, the

tributed to apartments several hun
dred tin can salvage depot signs,
emphasizing the Importance OF this
reclamation project.
Cooperation has been pledged by
the Salvage Advisory Committee Of
the Washington Real Estate Board,
composed of Marshall Davis, chair
man; Paul o. Drury, Thomas H.
Erans, w. M. Grimes, Ralph S. Hisle
Harvey L. Humphrey, F. Moran Nc
Conihe, James Med. Shea, Elton F.
Young, Frank S. Fisher and Edward

Statistics show potential source
of 100000 tin cans each month
from apartments in Washington
alone. Collection of the cans is
assumed by the District Salvage
Committee of which Horace Walker

II was Radbourne who coun-

Griff was on the small side,
too, and it was from Old Hoss
that he learned the spirit of
competition. Old Hoss never
gave up regardless of the odds.
Only rs pitchers have won
40 or more games in a season
in all the long history of base
ball and there have been only
81 such seasons, which means
that II have repeated.
Radbourne won 308 and lost
l91 major league games in II
years, 10 in the National and
one i'm the Players Brotherhood.
His record of 60 victories, 26
in succession, 432 Strikeouts for
Providence la 1884 has never
been even closely challenged
He lost II that season, had a
percentage of 1893, an earned
run average of 100. He had 10

two one-hit and three three-hit
games.

last time Sir Walter Hagen and

gether in a Ryder Cup golf
match they were partners in a
foursome victory over the Brit
ish. This time it is different be
cause they are opponents.
Saturday in the fourth re-
newal here Of COLTS war or
phaned world series, 50-year-old
Hagen Will pair with Lighthouse
Harry Cooper in an l8-hole
best ball match against Sarazen,
a relative youngster of Al, and
probably Frank Walsh.
That's as close as the two
rivals will get TO a much herald
ed hand to-hand singles battle.
The Hang won't appear at all in
Sundays 36-hole match play in
dividual tests, but Sarazen Will
lend a hand TO Craig Wood S
cup squad seeking to make it
two victories in a row over Ha-
gems challengcrs.
Hagen hasn't played in a
Ryder match since the 1885 tri-
umph with Sarazen over the
British. Sarazen has played in
them all The Connecticut farm
er was largely responsible for
the start in 1910 of the Detroit
series for war charities. The
squawk he made when left off
the cup team was quickly
tuned into this interesting series
that may raise $4,000 this time
for the American Red Cross. The
other three matches returned
$50. 900.

of the singles was substantiated
yesterday when Navy Lieut..
Lawson Little of San Francisco
made known he would be with
the challengers for ne fourth

Radbourne Called Best Pitcher
by Old Fox Clark Griffith;
the Hoss Won so Games in 80
BY HARRY iRAYS0N
NEA SportS Editor

Clark Griffith calls Charles
G Radbourne the greatest pitch
or OF all time Griffith earned
the tag. Old Fox, as a pitcher,
not as manager or president of
the Washington club. He was
contemporary Of Charley Rad
bourne. He managed Jack Ches-
bro and Walter johnson, whom
he ranks in that order behind
Old HoSs Radbourne.
That should give you a rough
idea of how we'll Radbourne,
native of Rochester but resident
Of Bloomington, H., could pitch.
Two years ago the people of
Bloomington and Normal, Ill.,,
unveiled plaque at the immor-
tai right-hander's grave.
Despite his iron man feats,
Radbourne was on the small
side He stood 5 feet, 9, weighed
1913 pounds
A graduate of Illinois Wes-
leyan, Radbourne played the in
field professionally for three
years before breaking in as a
pitcher with Providence Of the
National League in 1881. He
then played the outfield when
not pitching which is what gave
him the nom de plume of Old
HoSs. +,
The pitching distance was so
feet when Radbourne reigned.
Because of the rule against
overland pitching, Old Hoss
started as an underhand pitch
and continued to hurl in that
fashion when overland pitch
ing was permitted He mixed
a slow ball with curve and
what was then called a hard
ball.
