Everett Home Full of Old Country Charm
Authoress Has
An Authentic
"Dalastuga"

There's a house in Everett-a
very small house-but it carries
big. message. It's a fascinating
place, a Swedish peasant home at
1925 Bel Ave-, built and furnished
by Miss Nora Burglon.
Miss Burglon is a woman with
two missions. One is to send
clothing to Finland and Germany.
The other is to point out thes
values of "old country" cultures
Her house takes care of Mission
2, and she expects it to take over
for Mission l. Since the place was
built IL years ago there have been
thousands of visitors. During the
remainder of 1851, Miss Burg
lon will open the house to the
public on Saturday and Sunday af-
ternoons from until o'clock.
From the proceeds, she can sup
ply more boxes for the needy
abroad.
Miss Burglon is a writer,
painter, a builder and general
handyman. But she -disclaims abil-
ity to finish and calls in a tech
nician.
= The house has three rooms and
"maiden's bower" the attic
where Scandinavian peasant girls
slept. (They assembled by ladder
then the ladder was taken away.)
The beams and all the doors
are decorated with "rosmaning"
or flower painting. The living room

berto Avila's double, scoring Snuff

Cleveland an 81, thinning ex-
hibition victory over the New
York Giants before an overflow
crowd of 1851 today.
The triumph was an expensive
one for. the Indians, however.
They lost the services of Luke
Easter, their slugging Negro first
baseman, for probably two weeks.
After walloping a 425-foot home
run in the first inning, Easter
tore a thigh muscle in his left leg
while reaching for Shortstop Mer-
rill Combs low throw on Monte
Twins grounder in the second.
Sal Maglie for the Giants and
Bob Lemon for the Indians each

ROYALS Down Knicks,
In Start Of NbA Final

By The Assoeiafed Press

ROCHESTER, N. Y. April T.
The Rochester Royals, sparked
by their lean rebounding demon,
Arnie Risen, ripped the New York
Knickerbockers, 92-65. tonight to
take a 10 lead in the opening
game of the National Basketball
Association finals.
Risen. six-foot-nine former
Ohio State star, whipped in "a
points as the red-hot Royals
crushed the New Workers in every
period.
Rochester. led by Risen's unerr-
ing hook shots and set shots by
Bobby Wanzer and Bobby Davies,
roared to a 51-34 halftime bulge.
And the Knicks never came close.
Wanzer plunked in 10 points
and Davies IA. Vince Boryla, with
13 points. was high man for the
New Workers, who were far off
their game.
The second game of the best
| of-seven series will be played here
tomorrow night. The third and
fourth games are scheduled for
New York Wednesday and Friday.
A turnaway crowd of 4,206
thrilled to the antics of the sticky
fingered Risen, who snatched al
most every rebound in sight. 1t
was his play which broke the back
of the New Workers.
The Royals. who eliminated Fort
Wayne and mighty Minneapolis to
gain the finals, broke the game
wide open in the third period when
they increased their lead to "a
points after six minutes of play.

the middle of squeeze in tight
and furious stretch-riding duel
and pinched him of about 100
yards from the wire. Alerted did
swerve slightly after the horses
passed the finish, but the stewards
saw no foul.
Alerted, carrying ia pounds,
ran the six furlongs in the good

Iof $3.50 to boost his earnings for
the year to $15.635. He paid $500,
$3.50 and $500 across the board
From the pressbox it seemed
that Mitchell was guilty of loose
riding at the head of the stretch,
allowing Senator Joe to drift out
too far coming around the final
turn. He carried Iliad out with
him and lost an estimated two
or three lengths. Earlier the son
of Alaking- -BoWa Mowlee showed
burning speed in racing Blue Hell

crowd sensed an impending upset

Mitchell said Senator Joe
jumped shadows all the way
around the course, taking a par
ticularly long leap at the eighth
pole. He thought the colt would
have run better with blinkers.
Mclean said he was surprised
to see the hole open up when it
did. Alerted was running at top

AUGUSTA, Ga, April T.
Sammy Snead's putter and a
drenching rain caught up with
Robert (Skee) Riegel today and so
there's a two-way tie for first
place going into the final round
of the Masters golf tournament.
Snead, from White Sulphur
Springs, w Va, was bracketed
with the halfway pace-setter
Riegel of Tulsa. Okla, at the 54-
hole stage with oil, five under
par for the Augusta National
course.
Stroking senSationally on the
green's, Snead whipped around the
6.900-yard, par 36-36-72 layout
in 34-34-68, finishing with the
hottest round of the day.
Course Dry for Snead.
It was perfectly dry when Sam
started before noon and it was
only drizzling slightly when he
came in to report his best card
in weeks.
Riegel, former United States
amateur champion, had to look
at this sizzling round and then
go out and try to match it in
q rain that grew in intensity. The
skies were gushing when he holed
out a par on sodden 18th for a
remarkable 10.
Just one stroke back at 212 60
ing into tomorrow's climatic round
is that everpressing little guy
from Texas, Ben Hogan, who
matched Riegel's 10 before the
course became almost unplayable.
Lloyd Mangrum, the dapper
