My copy of the Greyhawk supplement has the following corrections/additions listed on page 68, which I though were intriguing:
Dwarves: All dwarves add +1 to hit probabilities, and subtract - 1 from chances to be hit, when fighting the "Giant Class".
Elves: All elves add +1 to their hit probabilities when using sword or bow.
Hobbits: All hobbits add +3 to hit probabilities when using the sling.
Has anyone ever used these rules? Do they ever show up, elsewhere?

Do they ever show up, elsewhere? They are in the AD&D Player's Handbook. |

They are in the AD&D Player's Handbook. Do they crop up elsewhere in OD&D resources? I've never noticed them before. Wondering whether folks tend to use these rules or not... |

Yes, these adjustments (or at least the inspiration for same) also appear in Chainmail. That being said, OD&D didn't spend a lot of time repeating itself and sometimes one has to really dig for rules. For example, the "setting spears versus attackers" or the "strikes versus unarmored head" rulings.

Of course I use them.

Quite correct, Grodog. Thanks for the reminder.
