-Four New Managers
Make Bows as A.A.
Starts Thursday
d the Associated Press.


COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 14-Four
new managers make their debut in
the American Association Thursday
rs the league prizes the lid of its
41st season.
Eddie Dyer, fresh from Houston,
will pilot the Columbus Red Birds
rs they swing into action at Indian
apolis. Dyer replaced Burt Shotton,
now coach of the Cleveland Indians,
who guided the Red Birds to the
1941 championship.
indianapolis also has new skipper
in Gabby Hartnett, late of the New
York Giants, who took over for
Wade Killefer.
Johnny Neun, erstwhile manager
ut Newark, has traded places with
Bill Meyer and will handle the reins
at Kansas City, where the Blues
entertain Minneapolis.
The other new pilot is Harry
"Truck" Hannah, from Memphis,
who replaced Ralph Red" Kress at
st. Paul. The Saints open at Mil
waukee.
Charley Grimm finished the 1941
season with the Brewers and thus
might be regarded as semi-new
manager. The same goes for Fred
Hanley who took over at Toledo in
mid-season. He also led the Mud
Hens during the 1858 period.
Toledo opens at Louisville where
Bill Burwen again directs operations.
The only other an-season holdover
from 1941 is Tom Sheehan at Mime
Apolis.

Gilmore Behr NewD.C.
Badminton Champion;
Baker Keeps Titles

Washington has q new woman's
badminton singles champion, but
Joel Baker remains atop the mems
bracket. In the finals OF the District
closed championship tournament
last night at Kensington, Baker was
successful all down the line in de-
fense Of three crowns, but Margaret
Decker wasn't 50 fortunate.
Gilmore Behr, who also owns the
Baltimore title, relieved Miss Decker
of the District crown with a
straight-set victory, 11-6, lis. Miss
Behr and Marge Cullen then paired
to take the doubles title over Miss
Decker and Polly Thompson, 1910,

Baker retained his singles crown
by defeating Dan Taras, 1910,

Ben Hogan, COLTS tireless little
mechanical man, who counts that
tournament lost in which he fails
to pick up bundle of cash, came
out of the final chukker OF the
winter links circuit at Augusta
with another new record. Setting
records, to Ben, is as easy as eat

set a modern mark by finishing
in the money in 56 straight tour
neys.
Hogan's latest pace-setting
achievement, as the pro golfers
face q summer with only a few

was his golf at Pinehurst, where

Advance Sale Shows
Keen Interest in
Canine Show
Many SoiIors E,.oected
To Attend Affair for
Navy Relief Fund

Washington's dogs are going nau-
tical this spring. They are going
all out for the District of Columbia s
Auxiliary of Navy Relief, and judg-
ing by advance sale of tickets there
are going to be more sailors than
civilians at the baseball park in
Alexandria on April Is. Mrs. L. H.
Thomas, wife of 1t. Comdr. Thomas,
is the iaison. officer between the Old
Dominion Kennel Club, of which
she is member, and the Navy Re-
lief Auxiliary, of which she likewise
is a member. In addition to taking
charge Of the advance sale of tickets
at half price, she is promoting the
dog show in many other ways. She,
for instance, is doing a neat job Of
giving the show "a commercial plug"
over the radio in the time devoted
to the Navy Band program.
Mrs. Burke Able Assistant.
One of Mrs. Thomas most able
assistants is Mrs. Arleigh A. Burke,
wife of 1t. Comdr. Burke, stationed
at the Navy Yard. Mrs. Burke has
sold so many tickets to the sailors
stationed there, that she has
thought it wise to charter a couple
of buses to transport her audience
to the show. Practically all Of the
proceeds from the advance ticket
sale, as well as the lions share Of
the net profits of the show, have
been earmarked for this worthy
cause.
The Washington Bulldog Club is
sponsoring the classes at the Old
Dominion show as its speciality. Not
to be remiss, they are featuring q
Navy bulldog as one Of their en-
tries. He is Boy Oh Boy, bred by
Mrs. George Hosmer of this city.
He was attached to the Cayuga for
several years and saw duty in Green
land and many other interesting
places. He now is retired. Another
attraction in the bulldog ring will
be the parade Of bulldog champions.
Entry Fee Is So.
Entries for the show, at 50 dog,
per class, are being taken all this
week. They may be sent direct to
the Foley Dog Show Organization,
Inc, 2009 Ransted street, Philadel-
phia. Blanks and assistance in FILL
ing them out may be obtained at
any veterinarians, at Schmidt's Pet
Shop or from any of the club mem
bers. A club member will be on
duty all day at Schmidt's on Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday. Club
members also will be on duty at the
George Mason Hotel in Alexandria
Thursday, Friday and Saturday
evenings. The Office of Harry Lus-
tine, 935 H street NV, will be open

The playoff between these two
iron-nerved competitors, who have
been battling each other ever since
they were caddies, was a corker.
They are among the best shotmak-
ers in the world today, and their
private duel for the masters was
worthy of their abilities. In the
end 1t was Hogan, the fabulous lit
tie money winner, who was forced
to bow. He has not yet won a
major championship.
Ar tho -
walkaway for Hogan. Nelson still
appearing wobbly from the previous
day, when he blew what seemed
certain victory, pushed his OPEN
Ing drive far into the woods on the
right of the first green and was
lucky to wind up with a six. When
Hogan won the fourth hole with a

Inquished. He was out in IS to

If one shot could be said to have
beaten Hogan toward the end of

regulation 8. That did it.

SOCIAL SEC. REPORT
SHOWS EMPLOYMENT
FOR OLDER WORKERS

Washington, d. G. (ILNS). - The
number of workers who were awarded
monthly retirement benefits under the
federal old-age and survivors insur-
ance system during 1941 was 13 per
cent less than in 1910, Federal Sc
curity Administrator Paul V. McNutt
said In 1910, awards to workers past
65 totaled 132,335, as compared with
114,660 in 1941.
McNutt attributed this decrease in
part to greater employment opportu-
mites for older workers as a result of
defense production. He explained that
each year for a number of years there
normally should be an increase in the
number receiving each type of monthly
benefits, and stated that awards of all
types of benefits except those to work
ers past age 65 had increased in 1941.
These include monthly benefits for
aged wives of retired workers, widows
with young children, aged widows,

ACTS TO PUT CURB
ON RENT GOUCERS

Boston (ILNS) - Gov. Saltonstall
has recommended to State Commits
sioner of Labor and Industry Mori-
arty that the latter seek an executive
order which would empower his de-
partment and the division on neces-
saries of life, to handle rent increase
attempts.
Pointing out that the federal gov
ernment has established regulations
for fair rentals, the governor reported
he expects Commissioner Moriarty to
arrange a plan for enforcing them,
based on the rationing system. Par
ticipating would be state board and
subsidiaries for districts.
There have been many complaints
that despite the fair rentals stipula-
tions from Washington, there have
been instances of exorbtant rentals
being asked by owners and agents of
residential properties all through Mas
sachusetts. In numberous cases, the
victims have had to pay the gougers
owing to residential congestion and
inability to get quarters within rea-
sonable distances of their work. Thus
far the state has not acted on the
complaints.
