'Robinson-Tay|or Title
Fight Keys Detroit
F ans 10 High Pitch
BY the Associated Press

DETROIT, Dec. 19-Vividly fresh
memories Of Joe Louis recent near
upset stirred Detroit's fight populace
to high pitch today for the Ray
Robinson Chuck Taylor welter-
weight title scrap here tonight.
Louis, Sugar Rays hero, will be at
ringside. He will be pulling for the
147-pound king to defend his crown
with more aplomb than the heavy
weight ruler had against Jersey Joe
Walcott earlier this month.
Only the possibility Of such a re-
currence could arouse enough in
terest to lead Promoter Nick Londes
to predict an Olympia Stadium rec
ord crowd of some $4,000 and all
time high gross gate of $4,000 for
the 15-rounder.
The sole points of similarity in
the two cases are that the champion
is fighting a rank but determined
underdog and has had somewhat OF
a struggle keeping his weight down.
But there ends the parallel.
Whereas Louis was rusty, Robinson
has been active since he beat Tommy
Bell for the title just a year ago.
Only nine days have passed since
he knocked out Billy Nixon in the
East and he KO'd hashy Sebastian
in little over a minute of another
nontitle fight less than three months
ago. In his only previous title de-
fense he scored technical knock
out over Jimmy Doyle at Cleveland
and inflicted head blow that led
to Doyle's death.
In contrast, the Coalport, Pa,
challenger has fought only three
times in more than a year, losing to
Chuck Fusari and Tony Pellone and
beating frankie Abrams. He Is con-.
sidered in excellent condition, how
ever.
Taylor's none -too-impressive %
bout professional career is over
shadowed by Robinson's record of
"a wins and a draw in So starts.
Less than week ago Robinson
was reported to weigh 159 pounds
and some of the experts said it would
weaken him too much to trim off
the 12-pound surplus. One veteran
trainer even advised him to forfeit
the title and a 5000 bond.
Now with the champ down to 1881
or less, the weight angle seems to
have been injected at least partly
for promotional purposes.

missed track last year due to a
knee operation. Dalsheim was a
half miller in high school but can
run the shorter distance.
The $50, key distance in a sprint
medley relay and the anchor posi-
ton, will be intrusted to Henry
Schaffer, formerly of Tech, who is
natural / and 2 mile trackman.
He won the mile for A. U. in several
dual meets last year and was fourth
in the conference championship.
Schaffer also Is doubling up in win
ter sports, as he is slated to fight in
the 130-pound class for the boxing
team.
The relay team is subject to
change If the A. U. track captain,
AL Nencioni, can find time to work
out. Nencioni is employed during
the holidays, but Carlo is hoping he
will be in condition. He is the cur
rent Mason Dixon Conference 800
yard champion and the previous
year held conference titles in both
the 100 and 220.
Carlo, one of A. us top all-round
athletes, is in his second year as
track coach. He also is the football
coach at Wilson High School and
originated the Metropolitan track
meet which he now directs.

Werner Lost 10 Terps
For Gator Bowl Tilt;
Frosh Bid for Jobs

The bad luck that has plagued
Halfback Hubie Werner of Mary
land all season is sticking with him
even for the post-season excursion
to Jacksonville's Gator Bowl. A
good player last year and a potential
standout this season, Hubie was
hurt in preseason practice and
never saw much action.
He finally was ready ''if needed
for the Duquesne and West Vir-
ginia affairs, and wasn't needed
He rounded into good shape as the
boys began practice for Georgia two
weeks ago and looked ready to do a
lot of playing against the Bulldogs
Late last week he was hurt again
and now the team trainer tells
him he likely will be unable to play
in the Gator Bowl.
With Werner missing, the left-haIt
spot will be shared by three players
Jim La Rue, Johnny Idzik and
John Baroni, the latter a former
lineman converted to the backf1eld
Lu Gambino will do most of the
playing at right half.
Today is the last day of practice
at College Park for the Old Liners
A stiff scrimmage against Georgia
plays was on the agenda. The team
breaks up for a short Christmas
holiday tonight, and will reassemble
the day after Christmas for an earlv-
morning flight to Jacksonville.
Several freshman players, have
been looking good in practice for the
last two weeks at Maryland and may
get chance to play against the
Bulldogs. Among them are Ends
Pete Augsburger and Johnny Troha
Halfback Johnny Sniscak and Quar-
terback Jack Targaroni.
Targaroni particularly makes
good insurance for that quarter
back post in case either Vic Turyr
or Joe Tucker, regular signal callers
gets hurt.
Dispatches from Athens, Ca, in
dicate the Bulldogs haven't hello
heavy practices yet. Workouts have
been light and informal when play
ers could find time between examin-
ations. First official practice is
scheduled next Monday and the
Bulldogs will be busy daily there
after until they leave for Jackson
vile on December %.

millions of visitors every year.
Delving into their venture with en-
thusiasm, the boys secured the Ii
brary for books on American ar
chitecture from the pioneer days
to modern times. A kindly art teach
er gave them drawing lessons at
three cents for plain sketching, five
cents for pastel work, the fees
covering only the cost of material.
Early difficulties soon induced
Laurence to adopt an arbitrary scale
of three-eighths of an inch to a foot,
a scale he has employed through all
the intervening years.
Pictures and stories Of the
way the early settlers in Amer
lea had lived induced Gieringer
to build history into his minia-
lures. His models, he decided,
could show the development Of
American home and business
life as exemplified in the struc-
ture Of homes and business
buildings.
As a result, there now are three
separate sections, one depicting the
life of the early settlers, another
that of Pennsylvania at the turn of
the century and a third showing a
modern setting. Gieringer plans a
fourth eventually-his version of the
village of tomorrow.
Built From Scraps.
Scraps of wood, discarded tin
cans, wire, pieces of metal, pipe
cleaners, paper and numerous other
odds and ends have been utilized as
construction materials for Giering-
er'S intricate models.
An idea of the scope of the exhibit
may be gained by noting some of
the materials which have gone into
its making. They include $3.50 feet
of board lumber, 1000 feet of build
ing paper, 1,728 feet of railroad and
trolley track, 1880 feet of electric
wire, 513 light bulbs, $4,000 pounds
Of plaster, 1900 miniature figures,
10000 miniature trees and shrubs,
$50 pounds of nails, AZ gallons OF
paint, two barrels of green sawdust,
six tons of stone, 5000 pounds OF
sand, las miniature railroad cars
and 100 feet of tracks for trains and
trolleys.
Highlight among the miniatures
is high-spired church with beauti.
fully handpainted windows, task
that required months of exacting Ia

creating stained glass. AS visitors
mill about the village, the lights are
dimmed and fro mthe open door Of
the church pours religious music
from a tiny organ. Outside the church
a ragged tramp leans lazily against
a white fence, a dog at his heels.
When the organ strains fade,
a different type of music issues
from large barn, in which an
old-fashioned barn dance is pro-
crossing. Nearby planes seem
about to take off from an air
port while few feet away peo-
pie are packed into a grand
stand watching a baseball game.
Animation marks the exhibits.
There are youngsters walking on
narrow curbstones, a boy whose feet
are tangled in an electric wire, dogs
shifting at fire hydrants, women
hanging out their washing or Cos
siping over back fences, trolleys
and train in operation, water wheels
turning grist mills.
Receive Wide Acclaim.
The Gieringer exhibits have been
widely heralded as the world s
greatest miniature village and the
most unique and detailed master
piece ever evolved.
A staunch exponent of hobbies
as means of preventing juve-
nile delinquency, Gieringer in
sists that "hobbies keep children
off the street," adding that elf
youngsters hands are busy,
they don't get into mischief"
His dream is to see establish
ment of national hobby CEN
ter where exhibits of all kinds
can be shown to inspire other
lobbyists.
Throughout the years both Mr.. and
Mrs. Gieringer have worked with
countless children from nearby
schools and orphanages.
Although Gieringer allows boys
training in his workshop to use me-
chanical equipment, all of Roadside
America has been built completely
by hand and with ordinary carpen-
ter tools.
Originally set up as a Christmas
display in the Gieringer home for
showing to neighbors and visitors,
the miniatures later were exhibited
in a Reading fire house and in a
local park, all earnings going to
charity. The present Roadside
America was established in 1941, a
portion of the proceeds still going
to charity. Although wartime gaso-
line rationing shattered attendance,
a record number of visitors viewed
the displays last season and still
larger crowds are expected this
summer.

With the passionate covetousness
Of a child, the 5-year-old Laurence
used to sit nightly in the window
Of his home in a Pennsylvania
valley and gaze longingly at a house
on the mountainside-a toy house, it
seemed to him, as its lights blinked
enticingly in the distance. He want
ed that tiny house, wanted to pick
It up in his hands and bring it home.
When his repeated pleas to set out
IN quest Of his house were ignored,
the little boy finally became des-
perate and, stuffing a banana and
a few crackers into his pockets,
trudged off up the mountainside
In search for the little house. Search
ing parties were out all night and at
o'clock in the morning the frantic
parents finally discovered the grimy
but undaunted boy two-thirds the
way up the mountainside. Bitter at
being overhauled, the boy was COM
forted only when his parents agreed
to take him to the end of the road.
Dream Shattered.
Disillusionment clouded Lau-
rence's eyes when he beheld just an
other ordinary sized house with no
lights at all in the bright morning,
no enchantment, no magic lure.
But Laurence Gieringer's
dream was not ended; in fact, it
had only begun. Today, at "a, he E.
owns countless lighted houses
that he can pick up in his hands,
along with churches, barns,
bridges, highways, railroads,
lakes, fields, grist mills, fac
tories and scores of other min
iature models depicting the archi-
tectural and industrial piano.
rama Of the America of the last
few hundred years.
Collectively they are known as
Roadside America, which is situat-
ed four miles west of Hamburg, Pa,
between Harrisburg and Allentown.
Roadside America had its begin
ming four years after Laurence's
abortive attempt to bring home the
lighted house from the mountaintop.
With his younger brother, Paul, he
had climbed another mountain near
Reading. Far below them Reading
looked like a city inhabited by doll
men. Fascinated by the sight, Lau-
renee said eagerly: paul, wouldn't
1t be swell to build little houses the
same size they look from here?"
Thus was born the idea which was
to grow into project enchanting
