Bosox Finding Dobson
Hurting Ace as They
Reel Off Il Wins
BY the Associoted Press

Joe Cronin's critics must be hard
up for ammunition today with the
Boston Red Sox winging away to an
ll-game winning streak and topping
the American League by three
lengths.
Cronin's gang Is the hottest thing
In baseball this springtime season
with the sluggers beating out a .316
team average during the victory
spree and 10 of II starting pitchers
going the route.
The letdown may be terrific later
on, for the Sox haven't been far
from home during the first three
weeks Of the campaign. However,
they have proved to be a well-bal-
anced club and have come up with
little more pitching than was
expected.
Tex Hughson, Dave Ferriss and
Mickey Harris were supposed to
carry the pitching load, but an excl
named Joe Dobson, generally over
looked in the early calculation has
been taking the bows with Harris
on perfect 40 win record.
1t was Dobson who handed Hal
Newhouser his first loss of the sea-
son last week and it was the same
2s-year-old Highlander from Du-
rant, Okla. who kept the win streak
alive by winning yesterday 5-4 sec
ond game over the st. Louis Browns
after Ferriss had taken the opener,
Us.
The 11-game string is the longest
since 1899. when Cronin's gang
reeled off u in a row.
The New York Yankees fell before
Chicago's Thornton Lee. 2-1, 3s-
year-old lefthander, who won his
own game with a 2-run single.

BALTIMORE. May This be-
ing Preakness week, lot of people
are doing a lot of talking about
that 500, ,000-added affair here Sat-
urday, but around Pimlico today
you also could hear plenty of dis
cussion about the Dixie Handicap
and couple of horses named
Armed and Stymie.
In order to give the Kentucky
Derby winner his just recognition
it might be said briefly that As
sault, the frisky Texas colt from
Robert J. Kleberg's King Ranch,
was due at Old Tilltop today, along
with several others of the Louis
vile field.
So, putting the Preakness aside
for the moment let's get back to
the Dixie. a $4,000 added event at
the same 13/16-mile distance as
the Preakness.

Club listed II possible starters for
the Dixie, most people hereabouts
could see only two. This in spite
of the fact that Armed could man

ish in the 6-furlong Jennings Han

Stymie came with a great closing

 For candy and chocolate we are still rationed to 34 lb. a month.
 Like the majority of people in this country we heat our house and our water by coal. From May l, l945, to May 1, l946, the do- mestic allowance in the North is two and 9/l0 tons and in the south two and 4/5 tons of soft coal, and, in all regions, two and 1/5 tons of coke or anthracite or similar boiler fuel Gall expressed in American tons.

 Clothes rationing has become tighter than ever. Coupons have to be presented for clothing, cloth, footwear, towels, and knitting yarn. A mans suit requires 27 coupons.

CBy Martha Wentworth HilD On the Dec. l945. The Outpostl


 Qn the Dec, l945, The Outpost
 During the war we used to say: "Well, when it's over we'll turn on every light in the house, we'll burn the blackout curtains, and live in blaze of light" But it was not like that. It took some time to feel at all comfortable with the lights showing and it is taking a lot more time to accuStom our selves to all the unfamiliar signs on the new road of peace. The idea of a clean break away from wartime living was, of course, fancy, so that now, in spite of the tremendous change in the direc- tion of our thoughts, in spite of the substitution of new worries for old, it is tempting to say that home life goes on with very little change. In no way is the continu- ity more apparent than in the mat ter of rationing and restrictions.
 When Germany collapsed we were immediately blessed with the return, after an absence of 3 years, of the basic gasoline ration. Today we are allowed to buy enough gasoline to drive about 200 miles a month.
 Of all the operations on the home front during the war it is generally agreed that food ration ing was amongst the most expert ly managed. We still have it in full force, but there is less to buy than there ever has been. May discuss the peacetime problem of providing for my household?
 There are five of us, with two children of school age and one under five. There is no question of shopping around to get our ra- tions. We have chosen to register with Smith for our meat, with Robinson for our groceries, and we must get our milk from Brown. Not once since the war and ration ing began have we failed to have our rations honored. This is what we now get and look like getting for some time to come:
 Meat-23 cents worth each a week, including 3 cents worth of corned beef. The meat ration for children under five is l2 cents worth.
 The prices of meat are control led and the inspection is very strict. Rump of fillet steak costs 40 cents a pound, but as one bull lock provides roughly 500 rations
The Nome nugget., 1946-03-27
Report From A British Housewife

and about 2 steaks, it is not sur priSing that we never see steak. English leg of lamb costs 3l cents a pound.
 For five years it has been inn possible to get poultry or game in this part of the country near Lon don. The meat we now eat comes from English, Australian, and New Zealand sources, with little from Canada. Until the end of the war American pork was plentiful. The termination of Lend-Lease accounts for the percentage of corned beef in the meat ration.
 For Christmas week bonus we look forward to an extra 20 cents worth of meat each, which must include corned beef if the fresh meat is not adequate to the ration.
 Milk-This seems to me one of the major worries of catering. At present we are reduced to pints week per adult. My two school children get 1a pint a day each at home and 1/3 pint at school, while the baby gets 1 pint day. Babies under year share quart of milk a day with their mothers.
 In the fall and winter we can each buy one can of dried milk containing the equivalent of 4 pints of skinned milk once every two months. There is also whole and skinned milk in cans with enough available to get one can about once a month, on points.
 Groceries-The grocers' shops are emptier than they have been all during the war, but we get without fail each week our basic rations. They consist of 12 lb. sug- ar, 3 oz. cheese, OF. bacon, g OF. fat, 2I2 OF. tea, IA lb. jam.
 Soap-Is very difficult. The in dividual ration is 12 OF. of soap flakes or 1 lb of hard soap for one month, and g OF. of soap flakes or 12 OF. of hard soap the next month. There is no kind of soap that is not rationed. Very few peo- pie can so manage their soap ra- ton that they can afford to wash dishes with soap flakes. Most peo- pie use washing soda.
 Eggs-People who keep hens tmeal for which is severely ra- tioned cannot buy eggs at the stores. People who don't Feep hens are, at this season, getting one egg a month each. Everyone can get l package of l2 dried eggs once every two months.

mand and causes me more worry than any other feature of the clothes problem.
 The foregoing are a few lights on how we are living in this half way house between want and plenty.
The Nome nugget., 1946-03-27

All other foods continue to be rationed on the points system. For the five of us I have each month -four weeks) 100 points, and this is how l fed my family last month:

One of our chief delights and stand-bys during the war was the variety of canned pork meats, available on points, with which we were able to eke out the fresh meat ration. Now, they are no more. A few six-pound cans have lasted out, and the meat is sold in slices at 24 points a pound, more points than one person has at his disposal a month.
