statements of the landlord in the

objections and return his copy to

Mr.. Gaudreau said. "If the tenant
does not disagree with any Of the
facts, he need not return the state
ment."
The tenant is told that he cannot
be evicted for refusing TO pay more
than the legal rent. Likewise, any
agreement by the tenant to give
up the benefit of any provision of
the maximum rent regulation is
void.
If inspection shows inconsistent
cies or omissions on the forms filed
by the landlord, it is voided by the
Area Director and returned to the
landlord who must file another cor
rected form.
"The dwelling unit is not consid-
cred registered until a correct
form has been received by the
Area Rent Office" Mr.. Gaudreau
said.
The registration form will re-
quire the landlord, to state the
rent that was charged on the max
imum rent date, and except for
certain exceptions, this will be the
legal rent hereafter. Mr.. Gaudreau
cited the exceptions:
eff the dwelling unit was either
vacant or occupied by the owner
himself on the maximum rent date
and for two months preceding that
date, but was rented to tenant
sometime before July 1, of this
year, the landlord must report the
first rent charged the tenant. This
rent will be the maximum legal
rent for the property, subject to

or substantially changed between
these dates by major capital i'm
provement, the landlord will list
the first rent charged after the
construction or alteration. The
same rule apply if the accommo-
dations were changed from un-
furnished to furnished or vice
versa between the maximum rent
date and July 1, 1912.
The landlord will be required to
fill in checklist of equipment
and services provided on the max
imum rent date, or on the date of
the first rent.
Mr.. Gaudreau stressed that the
registration is not confined to own
ers of dwelling units. Registration
forms must also be filled out by a
tenant who sub-lets all or part of
the dwelling he has rented him

George Selkirk of the YankeesS in

Proved by Records

Unquestionably the type Of ball
has pronounced affect upon the
quality and quantity of hitting. The
records-both hitting and pitching
prove this.
Back in 1911, J. Franklin Baker
of the Philadelphia Athletics, led
the American league in home runs
with a total of nine. In 1912 he
gathered 10, and in 1913, he totaled
IL. The next year he slipped to
eight. In 1918, the eight teams of
the league hit 1853 home runs.
Last year in the American league,
81 men hit IL or more home runs.
Ted Williams Of Boston topped the
list with 81 circuit clouts. The
league total was 704.
In l941 there were % men in the
league who hit 300 or more. In
1918 only ten American leaguers hit
that figure.
The increased hitting of the pres
ent day game isn't the result of bet
ter sluggers. 1t has been due to the
type of ball. The ball is designed for
distance-a 'hitter's" ball. 1t was
introduced some 20 years ago when
club owners decided to do some-
thing in answer to a public howl
for more home runs and the thrills
they bring.

In addition, the hide doesn't have

about Jock HutchiSon

Chicago has had another brilliant
and colorful golfer in Jock Hutchi-
son. Jock won the British Open,
but he was never quite able to land
on top in the U. S. major show.
In the old days they had to quail
fly in the National Open at SO holes,
and then move the next day into the
tournament proper. Using his first
72 holes of play, under this order,
Jock would have run away with
several championships.

A Simple Job

Altering the resiIiency of the base
ball wasn't difficult job. The core
was changed and better grade Of
yarn, more tightly wrapped, was
used. The cover was made thinner
and sewed more tightly. Ty Cobb,
Babe Ruth and others who batted
against both the dead and lively
ball said that the latter Travelled ap-
prOximately so feet farther than the
dead one.
1t is obvious that a rabbit ball
makes a pitchers job more diff
cult. Yet Bob Grove hung up one
of the games truly great records
with the lively ball. In one three
year stretch with Philadelphia, from
1929 through 1881, Grove won 70
games while losing Is. In 1881 he
won 81 games and lost for 1856
average.
