Moose nine, hit his first homer OF
the season to drive in two runs.
Werner hit his second homer OF the
season for the other score of that
inning.
Both teams got off to bad start
in the first inning with nine hits
accounting for IL runs. In that in
ming the Moose committed three
errors While a jittery Coast Guard
team made four errors for a grand
total of seven errors in the stanza.
The win put the Moose off to a
flying start in the race for the sec
ond half Gastineau Channel league
title. The Moose have one win, no
losses; the Guard no wins one loss;
and the ElkS are yet to play.

Taking their 10th consecutive
series, the Rainiers today roost in
fourth place only a half-game be-

land twice, TO and 20.
And the Richardsmen-who have
climbed steadily out of the cellar
after getting off to the worst start
in league history-will face San
Diego in a hot series starting tomor-
row in the southern city.
Guy Fletcher pitched a four-hit,
seven-inning shutout to clinch the
series for Seattle after the Rainiers
had slugged their way out of a 10
deficit in yesterdays opener.
San Diego wound up its eight
game series even-steven with Sac
ramento by winning 60 behind Jack
Saltzman's six-hit pitching, then
bowling IL to as Max Surkont

winners of yesterdays game over
the Coast Guard, will take on the

By Betty Miles

While favorite picture or
captivating carpet may be the
key to some homemakers' decor,
such is not the case in the John
Andrews home. Mrs. Andrews
has built her attractive, taste
fully decorated apartment around
her husbands collection of
215,000 whole match books, be-
lieved to be the largest of it's kind.
The cabinets pictured contain
part Of the collection. In the hall
stands a floor to ceiling cabinet
made by Mr.. Andrews. 81 drawers
deep, and containing approx
mately 10000 books. In the hall
closet are two long, narrow,
many -drawered cabinets on
wheels that Mr.. Andrews has de-
signed and built, which hold
10000 books each. With the ex-
ception of the kitchen, which to
date has remained free of the
collectors loot, every likely spot
holds some Of it. And in the base
ment there are seven foot lockers
packed tight with $4,000 match
books each.
To Mr.. Andrews knowledge,
there are not more than about
two dozen collectors of whole
match books in the country, al
though match book cover COL
lecting ranks among the top three
hobbies. A collector for % years,
Mr.. Andrews originally brought
match books home for his sons as
souvenirs of his travels, then
realized he was actually collect
ing for himself.
AS an employe Of the Air Corps
Supply at Boiling Field, Mr.. An
drews has been strategically To-
Gated as a collector. He built up
his group of covers from foreign
lands when his job located him at
a place all returning travellers
were required to pass, and shared
Embassy match books from Amer
lean Ambassadors to countries
round the world. He also has en-
listed the aid of several much
travelled generals, who have
brought him covers from remote
spots.
"A match book collector never
goes out without extra packets of
matches" Mr.. Andrews explained.
Even stranger may happen to be
carrying book he wants, and he
must be in position to exchange
for it.
Mr.. Andrews did some valuable
collecting at F. D. RS third in
augural dinner. He bought two
boxes of hotel matches and got
over 100 autographs on them,
many from comparative unknowns
that World War II later made
famous. among them Gen. Eisen-
hover and Gen. Macarthur.
A match makers mistake is
collectors catch. A few years
ago. Mr.. Andrews related, the
Diamond Match Co. ran series
of covers bearing pictures of Pres
idents. One batch of covers ap-
peared with Stonewall Jackson's
name prominently displayed be-
Evening star., 1950-03-20

books in all, ranging from the
tiny, midget variety through the
standard size, the longer and mar
rover "bill boards" the large
giant and the even larger super
giant. The rectangular billboards
are Mr.. Andrews speciality. He
has collected 10000 of these,
among them 1,40o distributed by
service bases during the war.
The first match book was made
in the '90s, Mr., Andrews report
ed, and the early matches were
handmade wooden ones. Mass
production of paper matches
bowed around the time of the
Evening star., 1950-03-20

First World War. Around the
early '30s, the books became
smaller, an event which was stim-
ulated, Mr.. Andrews believes, by
the increasing number of women
smokers. Another change oc-
CURED during the war, when the
abrasive was narrowed to the size
it remains today.
Mr.. and Mrs. Andrews organ
lied and advise the match cover
collectors club of the southeast
branch of the Boys Club of Wash
ington. So successful was that
program that similar clubs now
exist in 10 other Boys Clubs, and

meath Andrew Jackson's picture.
The error was discovered and cor
Irected. but not before collectors
had snapped up the defective cov-
Iers. There was actually a run on
one drugstore, Mr.. Andrews re-
ported, when some one discovered
that some of these covers were
available there. "At a time like
that, ones family is very helpful
for increasing the supply Mr..
Andrews philosophical. All mem
bers of a collectors family should
resign themselves to collecting
too, he believes.
There are IL sizes of match

the Andrews hope that eventually
all 1868 of the clubs in the United
States and Canada will have
match cover collector groups.
On the adult level, a local club
was organized by Washington
collectors last November, with
monthly meetings offering an op-
portunity to exchange the latest
data on their hobby. Through the
national collectors club a catalog-
ing system has been developed
and made available for collectors.
People from all walks of life are
to be found in national member
