He signed for a three-year term. Hodges' decision to switch teams even though he had a year left on his Washington contract was announced at a news conference attended by President Bing Devine of the Mets.

Hodges, who finished his illustrious playing career with the Mets in 1963, succeeds Wes Wes-trum, who resigned shortly before the end of the season. He becomes the third manager in the five-year history of the National League club, following Casey Stengel and Westrum. Westrum succeeded Stengel in the middle of 1965 when Stengel broke his hip. to agree.

LOUIS Cardinal Manager Red Schoendienst obviously was nervous as he fidgeted with his cap before the start of the fifth game of the World Series Monday in St. Louis. Whether or not he was concerned about the Boston Red Sox strung out along the opposite baseline for the traditional pre-game rendition of the National Anthem, he might have been, because they won the game. But, as a matter of fact, Schoendienst's concern was for his wife, Mary, who stood in the middle of center field singing the Anthem. She had been scheduled to sing the Anthem prior to the opening game in St.

Louis last Saturday, but her appearance was postponed because of an infected throat. She had also sung here prior to one of the games in the 1964 Series.

Kennedy Hosts Cards, Backs Sox HYANMS PORT, Mass (AP) Baseball fan Joseph P. Kennedy was host Tuesday to a busload of the wives of the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team. The wives had a boat ride on Kennedy's yacht, had lunch, and toured the cluster of Kennedy homes, including the one which was owned by the lale President John F.

Kennedy, and now is used in the summer by his widow and children. The former ambassador to Great Britain did not want anybody to think he was being disloyal to the home team by entertaining the St. Louis visitors. He attended the opening game for four innings last week, and is planning to see part of another but he is rooting for it to be a seventh game on Thursday with the Red Sox the winners. Then he said he'll have the Red Sox team, with their wives and families as his guests for a day.
