to bench Sauer.
The wires sizzled with fiery pro-

They applied so much heat that

ruled "Sauer must start"

league batter ever hit three
homers off the same pitcher in
two different games.
Despite the bombing, Turk Lown

Leonard to beat Simmons.
With the bases loaded in the
sixth, Richie Ashburn singled to
center but Tommy Brown dashed
from first to third without touch

nullified when the Cub infield
called for the ball and Eddie
Miksis stepped on second to retire
Brown for the third out.

Hotel Theresa Assistant Manager
Recommends Business Career


went on to say, 1--WE as a group
can solve many of the problems OF
The coming generation"
Before becoming a member of
the managerial staff of the Hotel
about ten years ago, Mr.. Thomas
operated several businesses Of his
own. For ten years, he owned and
operated the Butter Crust Baking
Company. For IA years he success
fully carried on a chain of res
taurants known as "The Little
Gray Shops" located respectively
on Seventh Avenue between 132nd
and 133rd Streets, Seventh Avenue
between 143rd and 144th Streets and
at 266 West 145th Street.
The teoiniques and business
knoW-how which Mr.. Thomas gain
ed from these rich experiences
qualify him amply for serving in
his present position as assistant
manager of the Hotel, where he is
respected an dadmired by patrons
as well as those who are associated
with him in his work.
A native of Orlando, Fla, Mr..
Thomas worked for IA years on the
railroad, travelling in all parts Of
the country and visiting practically
all of the large cities in the United
States. 1t was during this time that
he learned to love travel and de-
cided to take it as hobby, but
he has been forced to abandon his
hobby temporarily because of the
heavy responsibilities associated
with his office.
The IS years that he claims for
his chronological age have been
unusually kind, for the slightly
balding and smiling Mr.. Thomas
hardly looks past 50. His chief
duties, he said, are controlling the
Hotel dining room and bar. He says
he loves his work and has no desire
to leave it for another position.
Mr.. Thomas has one daughter,
Mrs. Gloria Thomas Flores, who
resides with her husband and 22-
month old son, John Thomas
Flores, in the Riverton Apartments
in New York City. His sister, Mrs.
Nathaniel Kline, is Director of
Clamp Minisink, of the New York
City Missions. His brother, Ru-
dolph j. Thomas, is executive di-
rector of Harlem Branch YMCA.
Much of the success of the Hotel
Theresa is due to the capable serv-
ices of Mr.. Thomas, who is one Of
the busiest men on the Hotel Staff,

Be Beautiful From,

By Ruth Nelson Sawyer

New York, (GlcbaD Ear beauty
is just as important as hair beauty
to the woman who insists upon be-
ing we'll groomed at all times. The
now short hair styles have brought
milady'S ears in view more than
ever before. Any woman should
realize how pretty her ears can
be when those delicate shells are
properly made up. Most of us have
just recently realized that ears are
part of the face. f.
The first beauty treatment for
ear care is soap and water. You
must never neglect to wash your
ears both outside and inside daily,
because they require the same care
as the rest of your head. Make it
must to apply foundation cream
to your ears, just as you do to your
face.
If your ears present problem
(too long, too wide, too thick)
make sure that your. hair style does
not expose the>n too much. If your
ear lobeS are long, thin and deli
cate, do fight the urge to wear
heavy earrings. Many women have
suffered torn ear lobes because
of their affinity for heavy car
rings. Don't get me wrong though!
We're not suggesting that you go
without earrings in any case. No
woman is completely dressed with
out this important accessory. Many
woman has found that her ears
can be camouflaged, if they are too
big or too small, by wearing the
proper style of earrings. 1t takes
some thought, but it's worth it.
Don't forget, your ears are just
as important as the space between.
