ner of the year, was favored over the
field of 1872 pros and amateurs today
as the 72-hole Oakland Open golf
tournament got away with $500 in
War Bonds awaiting winners in
Sundays finale.
Ranked as the one to beat through
all major 1914 tournaments, he came
out of a slump to finish well up in
the Portland Open two weeks ago
and captured the San Francisco
Open last week end for the second
year in succession.
Sergt. Jim Ferrier, who finished
the San Francisco Open only a
stroke behind Nelson in surprise
showing, will be watched closely
Other sharp contenders should in
clude such notables as Slammln'
Sam Snead, winner at Portland;
Willie Goggin, George Fazio and the
United States Open champion. Craig
Wood, who is rounding into top
form.
The tourney is over the par 35-
$50 Sequoyah course, 5,9l2 yards
long. 1t is slightly hilly and should
aid the short, accurate shotmakers.

Hoppe S Loss 10 Rubin
Upset Of 3-RaiI Meet
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. 7.-Standings
of the world championship three
cushion billiard tourney had a
strange look today-Willie Hoppe
wasn't at the top.
The 57-year-old hoy wonder"
who has held the title the last three
years, suffered his third defeat since
1910 in championship play last
night. He bowed to Brooklyn's Ar
thur Rubin, so to At, in 43 innings.
Rubin, in scoring his first victory
in the current event, duplicated his
1912 feat of beating Hoppe. Hopes
other loss was to Welker Cochran
Of San Francisco in 1941.
With Hoppe out of the frst-place
deadlock, the lead was shared by
Cochran, Ralph Greenleaf of De-
troit and Jay Bozeman of Vallejo,
Calf, each with three wins and no
defeats. Hoppe skidded into a three
way tie for fourth.

Of honorably discharged members
of the K-9 Corps. Those dogs whose
former owners are unable for one
reason or another to take back their
dogs after their period of retraining
will be turned over to qualified ap-
plicants. Their qualifications will
be determined by Dogs for Defense,
Inc, the agency which was first in
strumental in procuring the dogs for
the armed forces. The only ex-
penses which the new owners will
have to meet will be the nominal
fee to cover the costs of investiga-
ton, shipping, etc. The amount will
be set by the United States Treasury
Department.
Each dog will be accompanied by
certificate of honorable discharge,
collar, leash and an official Army
training manual. The manual will
explain to the owner what his dog
already knows and how to make the
dog use that knowledge. Applicants
for Army dogs may get further in
formation by writing Dogs for De-
fense, Inc, % East Sixtieth street,

Old Dominion Kennel Club has ap-

Practically every one is just as will

laying the foundation of being the

OKLAHOMA NEARSI
.lST ANNIVERSARY
Theater Guilds Smash
Musical Hit Starts Sec
Ond Year Friday

The Theater Guilds smash musi-
cal hit, "Oklahoma!", rounds out
its first triumphant year on Broad
way at the st. James Theater on
Friday evening, March 81. The
Richard Rodgers-Oscar Hammer
stein II musical, one Of the legen-
Diary successes Of the modern the
alter, moves into its second year,
still leading the field as the the
ater's outstanding attraction.
"Oklahoma" has won unprece-
denied plauditS in all departments.
It's music and lyrics by Rodgers
and Hammerstein respectively still
are in the vanguard of sheet-music
and broadcast best-sellers. For stag
ing, Reuben Mamoulian won re-
newed acclaim. The ballet by Agnes
de Mile started new vogue for
Broadway musicals. Americana set
tings by Lemuel Ayers and costumes
by Miles White have inspired new
fashions In decor and clothings.
In its cast "OklahomaI" has
brought into the linelight such
fresh new personalities as Alfred
Drake, Joan Roberts and Celeste
Holm, as well as recalled the popu-
1arity Of Betty Garde, Joseph
Buloff, Lee Dixon, Howard da Silva
and Ralph Riggs. From the ballet
world Broadway came to know
Katharine Sergava, Erik Hawkins,
Vladimir Kostenko and Bambi Linn,
chief dancers In the musical, which
was based on Lynn Riggs we'll
known play, Green Grow the Lii
laos"
One Of the greatest successes The
Theater Guild has scored in twen-
ty-five years Of producing, "Okla-
homa!" came to the stage under
the personal supervision of Theresa
Helburn and Lawrence Langner,
administrative directors Of The
Guild.
In its first year on Broadway,
Oklahoma" has been seen by al
100000 people, who poured a mil
lion and half dollars into the box
office. The show has been seen by
servicemen both In New York, as
guests of the management, and in
West Point and other centers.
A national company of okla
homa!" will soon be six months old
in Chicago, where 1t is duplicating
the success of the New York conf
pany.
Additional statistics show that
the album Of records of "Okla-
homa" music has already broken
the 100000 mark, perhaps the larg-
est figure ever sold for any single
album, classical or popular. In the
sale Of sheet music, the total to
date stands near the million and
half mark, eclipsing any other show
score in the history of music pub
fishing.
Additionally "Oklahoma" has
started q new trend in producing
musicals, which the Theater Guild
will follow with a new musical by
Rodgers and Hammerstein, Sched-
uled for next season.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-03-28

With addition Of $500 more to the
Red Cross war fund, the total to-
day stood at $174,600. Reports from
houSe-to-house canvassers are still
coming in, and officials are conf
dent the 100000 goal will be
reached.
Among the scores Of servicemen
who have expressed praise for the
work of the Red Cross is Lieuten-
ant Colonel Albert E. Hermann,
former local practicing physician,
who is commander of the 29th
Field hospital.
In a recent letter received by the
Red Cross the physician tells of Red
Cross work among servicemen in
KiSka, and urges continued support
for the organization.
The text of the letter follows:
1.-THE Red Cross accompanied
the troops in the initial landing
on Kiska. One field worker was
assigned to the Field Hospital
that I commanded. Conference
with this officer revealed that the
Red Cross was fully prepared and
equipped to serve all patients in
the hospital, and that the equip
ment was excellent.
ION landing on Kiska the Red
Cross very early operated "Cof-
fee Tent" where soldiers of all
ranks from Generals to Privates
were refreshed by hot coffee. In
fact 1t was the first place on the
island where hot coffee was avail
able "a hours a day. This may
seem like small matter, but on
Kiska it came as mamma from
heaven"
During the period on Kiska the
Red Cross was the only means TO
rapid communication between the
