BY CHARLES CHAMBERLAIN

CHICAGO, May 3 -lR- Joe
Cronin Of the Boston Red Sox was
the only d-aft-vulnerable Major
League mana ger left today after
Lou Boudreau, 26-year-old chief OF
the Cleveland Indians, had been
rejected by the armed forces.
Boudreau was turned down to-
day at the Chicago pre-induction

dition in his right ankle, which he
fractured in 1884 while running
the base paths for a Harvey, ILL.,,
sandlot team and re-fractured in
spring exhibition game with
Cleveland in 1910.
The chances of Cronin being
called appeared slight, for he will
reach 80, the draft age limit, Oct.

4-F, it is likely that 35-year-old
Met OFT of the New York Giants
will be the only big league
manager inductee this season.
OFT passed his pre-induction
physical examination II days ago,
was assigned to the army and
given the usual 21-day notice. Leo
Durocher, skipper Of the Brooklyn
Dodgers, was rejected last season
because of a perforated ear drum.
The other Major League managers

to the last Eastern Conference
baseball game this afternoon when
they engage the strong Raleigh

for the finger and reports that
Harriss will start at the second
sack.
Other injuries in the Hanoverian
camp include sore arm on lanky
initial sacker Cash Register and
a stomach ailment of cleanup hit
ter Duke" Dyches.
The Woodworking Cat mentor did
state, however, that despite the in
juries Kidding his outfit, the team
should give the Caps busy after
noon.
Al Collie, who limited the Colds
boro Earthquakes to four hits in
his last home assignment, is the
likely mound choice for the locals
with either Mac Campbell or John
Holding toeing the slab for the
Caps.
Campbell, small curvebal spe-
cialist, has turned in several ex-

Milwaukee, Dec. 23-(UP)-Eight Milwaukee children, who were born on Christmas Day, 1941, will receive their fourth War Bond as 8 birth day present this month, for they are charter members of the Ameri- can Association of Christmas Born, founded the day and year of their birth.
 Prof. Hugh L. Riordan of the Marquette College of Business Ad- ministration has received many letters from Christmas-born all over the United States commend ing him for his founding of the as- sociation, the purpose of which is to aid in the sale of war bonds.
 Four years ago the Marquette professor, who is one of an esti- mated 400, GOO persons born on Dec. 25, decided that something should be done about the Christmas-born. He felt they were being sighted because they were usually given one present to do the work of two. and he believed that they should band together and celebrate the two days in one.
 And SO he suggested that every

 Since he announced the found ing of the organization, Prof. Rior- dan has received hundreds of let ters from all over the country. The writers, ranging in ages from five to 94 years, were al born On Dec 25 and were eager to join the As- Sociation of Christmas Born.
 Prof. Riordan received 8 letter from a man and his wife living in Greenville, Miss, who both were born on Christmas Day-the hus- band in 1873, the wife in 1888. And then there was a letter form busi- ness man in Dallas, Tex, whc write that his company had taken a census of the most popular birth day date among architects and en- gineers in the United States, and 1t was discovered that a greater percentage of them were born on Dec. 25.
 A 94-year-old woman, also from Dallas, whose feeble handwriting was almost indiscernable. wrote that she wanted to be member of the birthday club. And there was a housewife from Moundsville, Va. who said that she thought the idea was a splendid one, and she won- dered why no one had thought of such an association before, because the Christmas1born were indeed a select group.

War Workers Favored By
 Recent Court Ruling on Income Taxes

War workers and Salesmen will be permitted to deduct living ex- penses, including laundry items in certain irstacnes, when away from home in preparing income tax re- turns, William letter, tax authority for the Research Institute of Amer ica, said in a talk last night before the New Haven Chapter. National Association of Cost Accountants, meetin gin the Graduate Club. Jet ter based his discussion on recent decisions of the s. Tax Courts. President Joseph H. Rafford of the RockbeStos Products Corporation was in charge of the meeting.
 War workers, in addition to be- ing allowed deductions for working clothes. goggles, overalls and neces- sary equipment, will be allowed to deduct cost of meals. lodging and travelling expenses if they work away from what is considered to be their home"
 The treasury does not agree with the conclusions of the U. s. Tax Courts, letter said, and may con- test the allowance. If the war work CTS deductions are contested, he no doubt will be able to get favor able decision from the courts"
 "TIhe optional standard deduction will in most cases eliminate the ne cessity of most taxpayers listing actual deducations. Approximately 30 million taxpayers will be given a deducation of ten per cent Of their income"
 Frank Klein, vice-president of the National Association of Cost Accountants, brought greetings from the National Board to the local chapter, and stated although man. agement is doing a miracle job in the output of war materials, it should be making plans to solve postwar problems such as frozen ceiling prices, disposal of war goods, inventories and the acquiring of fa- cilities for the manufacture of post war products.
 Announcement was made by Pres ident Rafford that the next round table discussion on Termination, !" would be held January 18th, 8 p. m. in Strathcona Hall, Yale.
