YANKEES
 FORGING
 RIGHT UP
By BEN PHLEGAR

Only a couple of weeks ago almost anybody could have given you half a dozen gilt-edge reasons why the New York Yankees would .ce lucky to finish in first division
 Even today most of the reasons would look legitimate: Joe Di- Maggie out indefinitely; Charlie Keller sidelined; Bob Porterfield hurt; a patched up intield; a shortage of good rockies.
 So what happened:
 The Tanks jumped away to tneil fastest start in ages. They have won 13 of their first 16 games. That gives them a three game edge over Cleveland and a six-game bulge over Boston.
 At Chicago yesterday the White Sox took down their portable home run fence but the Tanks got a legitimate circuit clout out of re- liable Tommy Henrich and whip ped the Sox, 7-5.
 Allie Reynolds wobbled to his

second victory although lifted ill favor of Joe Page at the start of the seventh. It was, Fireman Joe's eighth appearance in l6 games.
 TELLER WINS
 In other American League action yesterday Cleveland whipped Bos- ton, 7-3, as Bobby Teller won his first game; Detroit edged Philadel- phia, 6-5, and Washington handed St. Louis it's sixth straight loss, 5-3, in a night game.
 Teller gave up six hits, including homers by Ted Williams and Bobby Deerr, but he said the shoulder pain that sidelined him after two innings on opening day was gone.
 NATIONAL LEAGUE HOMERS
 Home runs decided all three of the National League contests. The New York Giants edged Pittsburgh, S-2, in 10 innings; St. Louis eested Philadelphia, 3-2, and Brooklyn squeezed by Cincinnati, 7-5.
 Johnny Mize parked one of Murry Dickson's slants in the upper right field stands at the. Polo Grounds for the 300th home run of his major league career to win the Giants game.
 Ron Northey picked the ninth inning of a 22 game at Philadel- phia to hit his first home run ot the year for the Cardinals. The poke broke the Phillies' six game winning streak and gave George Munger his first victory.

BEAT 5TAR5;GAME
 I5 EXCITING
By JIM BACON

{ Los Angeles fans-most unhappy recently over the way things are going in the Pacific Coast league ~ are a little happier today.
 Their Angels are still in fifth place and their arch hometown rivals are still in first but in the years first official meeting be- tween the teams, the Angels beat the Stars 6 to 4.
 It was wild game Thursday might with flying cushions, good and bad basenall and roaring ! comeback. A cushion-pegging ian and Manager Fred Haney of the Stars both were ejected in the fifth.
 As to the ball game itself, the Stars got to Don Carlsen for four runs in the first inning-but that was all. He shut the Angels out the rest of the way.
 The rest of the league fans also i. saw some dandy games. San Diego, half-game behind Hollywood in the standings, measured Sacra- mento 12-11 on a tenth inning i. homerun by Vince Shupe. At Oak land, Charlie Gassaway pitched three hit ball in shutting out San Francisco to O. Portland scored two runs in the last of the ninth to edge Seattle 4 to 3.
 ! At Portland, pitcher Roy Helser did a swell job doubling as a Y pinchhitter. His drive to right field chased home the winning run. Charley Schanz had held the Beavers to five hits and two runs until the ninth. Then the Beavers exploded for four hits and the ball game.

Most people who are dissatis-
fed with this world feel they can't
do anything about it. But the
model railroaders in Union Sta
ton have built world all their
own.
It isn't a perfect world. Things
are always going wrong. as they
are bound to do in a cosmos
operated by countless push but
tons on remote control boards,
sending their directional impulses
over thousands of feet OF wire.
But the wonderful thing about
this make-believe world is that,
when anything goes wrong, it can
be easily fixed.
Fol almost three years through
this postwar period they have
been building this world on a
platform in large room above
the Offices in the west end of the
station-a project that started
out as tfree-year plan. But the
last thing they want is to finish
it.
Al Schultz of the Municipal
Architects Office, the creative
genius who planned it, is now
cheerfully able to announce it is
a siX-year projecU-that he secs
three years work ahead before
they will have to ask the station
management to tear down a wall
for their expansion.

longer could support the sawmill
that stood there so 1t was removed.
But, as so often occurs on the
American scene. there is bit OF
relief. Across another hill there is
a timbered valley that contains
a mountain lake held in green
banks. The lake. of course. is
real water constantly pumped in
and cascading out through a gorge
A summer resort hotel stands on
one shore, as pretty as a Swiss
chalet.
There was a great argument
about that lake. The engineering
minded planners wanted it on the
same scale as the rests Inch to
a foot. But the aesthetically
minded, who felt that valley was
their own, won out with half
scale-1/16-inch to a foot. Now
the esthetes are having another
fight with the engineers who
see in this valley chance to
build a dam. raise the water
level 20 feet. and substitute a
raceway to the penstock of a
hydro-electric plant for the water
fall.
No, it isn't a perfect world. but
the model railroaders have their
fun. And, contrary to the gener-
ally held idea that they insist on
making their own rolling stock,
there isn't one of them who
wouldn't be delighted to find an

The verdict was announced by

liberated less than five minutes.
1T would be a very dangerous

evidence"
The girl had accused her father
of having attacked her more than

Mr.. Lowe, in denying the
charge, said his daughter brought
