RELATIVES ABLE MUST SUPPORT
THEIR NEEDY AGED

Progress was reported in the cam
paign being waged by the Ohio di-
vision of aid for the aged to compel
responsible relatives of old age pen
sioners to support their needy aged
where the responsible relatives are
found to be in comfortable financial
circumstances.
The latest monthly report of the
division recently released disclosed
that although there was an increase
of 946 pensioners during the month
of December over the preceding
month, the total amount paid out
for December was $3,260 less than
November.
In accordance with provisions of
the Social Security Act, the federal
government pays one-half of the to-
tai program cost in caring for the
states needy aged.
Henry J. Berrodin, chief of the
division of aid for the aged, explain
ed that despite the increase in pen
sioners the decrease in the monthly
total payment for December result
ed from action by the division to
compel responsible relatives to sup
port their aged parents in cases
where at all possible.
'tIn the past, many responsible
relatives in comfortable financial
circumstances have neglected the
care of the aged and left the state to
shoulder practically all of the re-
sponsibility of looking after the
needy aged" Berrodin said. "Be-
cause of the increase of pensioners
from month to month, the division
has taken steps to compel RESPONSE
BILE relatives to carry part of the
burden"
The report also disclosed that for
the month of December, the average
grant per Densioner was $24.51.
During the same month, the division
paid out total of $33,294 in bur-
ial claims for deceased pensioners.

Hubbe|I's Rank
With Past Stars
Questioned

NEW YORK. May 5.-Carl Hub.
bell today presented the baseball
world with its first major argu.
ment of the season, and one that
is likely to continue far into the
future.
Is he or is he not entitled to be
ranked with Tim Keefe and RUDE
Marquard as the winner OF -
straight games? He was credited
with his nineteenth yesterday
when the Giants beat the C1ncl1'
natl Reds, z to 6, but there was q
catch in it for those who want to
make something out Of it.
Hubbell's streak was started last
season when he finished with Is
in a row, and, therefore, it was
broken by the off-season (not to
mention a World Series defeat)
whereas Keefe, in 1888, and Mar.
guard, in 1912, shared all their
wins in one year.
However, Hubbell has lived UP
to the tradition established by
those two old GiantS-regardlesS
of whether he is ranked generally
with them in the consecutive vic
tory department-by his three
wins this season, starting him Jff
to what apparently will be another
spectacular march through the
National League. And as he goes,
so go the Giants. They are tied
today with the st. Louis Cardinals
for second place.
Allowed 9 Hits
Although the Reds knocked Hub.
bell out in the seventh he struck
out 10 while allowing nine hits.
Gumbert pitched the rest Of the
way and preserved the victory.
Dick BartelrS two homers proved
a big help against the fast Red.
legs, who turned in five double
plays.
In the American League, the
Yankees scared into a tie with
the Detroit Tigers for the lead,
with Lefty Gomez showing a re.
turn to the form that at one time
established him as the premier
pitcher of the circuit. He beat The
Tigers by 10 to /, allowing only
four hits and tanning nine, and
broke a Tiger streak that had
stretched to four victories. The
Yanks' 14-hit batting attack was
literally sprinkled with extra base
blows, including a homer by Gro
Setti.
Moving back into the National
League, the Pittsburgh Pirates re-
manned out in front by manhan-
ding the Dodgers, 10 to 8. The
score indicates the kind Of ball
game they played. Dickshot hit a
homer for the Pirates, while Lefty
Ed Brandt, the ex-Dodger, and
Bill Swift took care of the pitch
ing.

curve ball played havoc with high
school batters three years ago
when he was twirling for Eastern
High School, is today receiving
congratulations for his splendid
performance yesterday against
Peoples Drug in the opening of

Pitching for Pepco, Sullivan
limited the Drug Store Sluggers
to three hits. Rice, who worked
on the mound for the losers,
turned in a creditable game al
lowing only six hits.
DR.. William Mcclellan, presi-
dent of Potomac & Electric Power
Company, and DR.. M. G. Gibbs,
president of Peoples Drug Stores,
each tossed out a first ball" to
get the boys off.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, May s.
Fiery Ben Chapman stole the show
as the Griffs broke out Of their
batting slump and battered the
Indians into submission as the
first invasion of the West opened
here yesterday. First it may be
recorded that the GriffS won in
the eleventh, batting IL men in
the last inning, the second con-
secutive game in which they have
accomplished that feat. They've
won two consecutive games, an
other local record.
But that Chapman. What a
player!
He made a running catch in the
ninth inning off Weatherly that
was the ball game. That ball was
a sure fire triple with nobody out.
Chapman ran to the fence, leaped
