WIDE IRONING BOARD:

My husband added a strip Of
wood to the widest part of my
board, allowing it to taper down
to the narrow end. Have had sew

corning it, even from men folks
The extra width surely does speed

little too heavy with down fol-
comfort In this climate. In fact
If ones bedroom is at all warm al

cover as protection against soil

helps to keep comfort from slip

onto bed springs. Down comforts
may be dry cleaned and should
be protected against moths when

BOSTON, April 8.-Are the Bos-
ton Braves about to begin defense
of their National League cham
pionship at swords points with
their manager?
The fuss was kicked up today
when Dave Egan wrote in his Bos-
ton Daily Record column the Tribe
Is ION the verge of open revolt
against Manager Billy Southworth
and is staggering under the saw
age impact of open dissension."
The players were described by
Egan as resentful for several rea-
sons. particularly because South
worth "has boasted in their pres
ence that he. and he alone, mas
terminded them to pennant."
Writing from Columbia. S. c.,
Hy Hurwitz reported in the Bos-
ton Globe some of the players re-
sented Southworth being feted as
the man who drove an inferior
team to a pennant.
Have Harmonious Meeting.
Southworth sharply denied any
dissension. So did those players
who were questioned at Columbia,
where the tribe plays an exhibi-
ton today.
There is no word Of truth In
the report" Southworth retorted
in the South Carolina city.

Hit .42I With Chattanooga.
It reads as If Difani isn't
equipped to linger long, but he
could surprise. He was a .421
hitter with Chattanooga last year
when, suddenly and baff1ingly, he
was fired. There were vague
hints that Jay was too slow for
Southern Association surround
ings, but .421 hitters aren't too
slow for any company.
Anyway, Difani, an outfielder
with Chattanooga, wound UP as a
third baseman at Newark. He
batted a tepid .269.
Difani may have been included
in the Leon Culberson-and-cash
for Ed Stewart deal with the New
York Yankees. who own Newark.
In any event. he has been manipu-
lated beyond comprehension, and
he's ready for a permanent billet
He hopes that home will be
Washington, for he became used
to it during the winter when he
handed out equipment to young

Boys Club. He obtained that job
through friendship with Jack
Blank. Washington automobile
dealer, and he'd relish being
around next fall to resume labor
there.

ORLANDO, Fla. April 8.-Sel-
dom. If ever. in baseball history
has a rookie leaped to the major
leagues on the strength of an .067
batting average in spring training,
so likeable Jay Difani of the Mats
may consider himself extremely
fortunate.
Difani has made the grade. He's
sticking with the Mats. at least
temporarily, because he is iden-
titled as an -infielder. Washington
is woefully short on infielders at
the moment and Difani, a con-
verted outfielder. makes the jump
on that recommendation alone.
Jay has one hit, single to
left against Chattanooga. to in
dorse him for major league play
as result of the Mats five weeks
in Florida. He was dispatched to
the plate on ii other occasions.
Here is his production: Struck
out five times, popped out six
times, grounded out twice and
lifted a ball to the outfield once,
and one single.
An Unwilling Infielder.
Difani even is an unwilling in
fielder. an understudy to Third
Baseman Eddie Yost. I'D like
to take a shot at the outfield,"
admits Jay. who came to camp
as an outfielder. but who saw no
action there. Jay has seen service
at third base and second base
and with inf1eld replacements be-
ing what they are among the Mats,
the inevitable happened.
Jay isn't certain of remaining
long in a Washington uniform,
but he has reached the point
where he'd prefer somet stability.
Since 1914 he has been identified
with no less than nine clubs and
he'd like to settle down.
In 1914 after being plucked out
of the semipro ranks Of Festus,
Mo-. Jay was in spring training
with the Chicago White Sox. They
dispatched him to Little Rock. In
1945, it was Newark and Oakland.

National Open golf in ls+s. some
body tried 10 make comparison
because Mangrum acquired Gene
Sarazen's fat-faced driver before
shooting his leading 50 yesterday
in the Masters.
Nuts" was the reply OF one Of
the Nations top pros who was in
on the conversation. "Mangrum
could use a t-handed driver
and win this tournament II he
continues to putt. That's from rs
to 90 per cent OF our game on this

And in the highest scoring in a
major tournament since the Mas
ters of last year. the putterS were
the only par breakers. The only
70-breaker was Mangrum with his
SO. The only 70-shooter was Frank
Stranahan, who spends hour after
hour on the practice green's. and
the four pros who bettered par by
stroke with Ills were fair hands
on the green's.
Let's look at the half dozen par
breakers. Mangrum. leading money
winner OF the year and the first
round leader last year with a SO.
is one of the five greatest putters
in golfing history. He'll probably
admit that and not in boastful
vein.
Stranahan Keen on Greens.
Stranahan. winner Of just about
every amateur title but the Ma
tional, owes much Of his success
in pro and amateur competition
to a fine stroke on the green's.
He is one OF the greatest putters
in the game today.
Among the Ills. Dick Metz Is
rated an excellent putter. Johnny
Revolta. a comparative old-timer
at 38, is one of the great putters
of the last two decades-and that's
no exaggeration. Clayton Heafner
can be good or bad-he was good
yesterday-and Leland Gibson Is
one of those tournament veterans
probably rated as an unknown
by the uninitiAted-who has a

Mangrum did not putt spec

steadily. From 60 to 10 feet from

enough to the cup to get down in
