Trio of Sunday Drivers Top Americans
By the Associated Press

Talk about traffic jams. The American League standings is a jambled mess of Sunday drivers with everybody hoiiking the horn to go by. Only one game separates the speeding Tanks, Red Sox and Indians with eight weeks to go.
 It happened again yesterday. For the fifth time in 12 days the top three are only one game apart. Boston won two, Cleveland won one and the leading New York Yankees were shut out by Detroit, GO. Even Chicago picked up ground and now trails the Tanks by six games in fourth place.
 It's just the opposite in the Ma tionals, where Brooklyn opened up a l0-game gap on New York by bomb ing Pittsburgh, 10-5, while the Giants took it on the chin at Chi cago, 6-3. The Phillies in third place, 15l2 games out, edged Cincin- natl, 7-5, and Boston and St. Louis played one of those suspended games" called to let the Braves catch a train to Chicago, with Bos- ton leading 7-3 in the last of the ninth. They'll complete it Sept. 13.
 Probably the top thrill of busy day was Bob Gains remark able relief job for Detroit at Yan- kee Stadium. The curve -balling lefty saved Al Whites shutout-- and first win-with a brilliant performance.
 Here's the picture: Detroit led 20 in the seventh. The Tanks had three men on, nobody out and the count was two -balls-no-strikes on pinch hitter Johnny Hopp. Then Cain replaced White.
 Three Curves
 Gains first pitch was ball. He followed with three curves to nip Hopp on a called third strike Then Billy Martin and Gene Woodling famed on sweeping hooks to re- tire the side. The slim lefty also blew down the next six men in order in the eighth and ninth, striking out two more.
 Heartened by Gains job, the Tigers tore into Spec Shea for four in the eighth, three of them unearned because of errors by shortstop Martin. Art SehallOck, the S58,O00 purchase from Holly wood of the Pacific Coast League, 1 was the starter and loser. White and Cain allowed only three hits.
 Pinch Homer
 Boston popped up with new slugger in Charlie MaxWaA. He hit a pinch homer with the bases full assuring the Red SoX of their sec ond game sweep over St. Louis, 11-6. They m n h a lied the Brownies in the opener, 12-1, behind Ray Scarborough's effective eight hit pitching. Johnny Pesky hit a homer in that rout.
 Maxwell, a rookie recently recalled from the Louisville farm, had hit two pinch homers before yesterday. But this was the big one, coming off Satchel Paige in the seventh to change a slim 7-6 lead into a solid five-run margin.
 Larry Dolby hit the longest homer seen at Washington since Babe Ruth hit one some 50 feet back of the centerfield fence and into tree in 1923. Doby's cleared the 35-foot wall, 40S feet from the plate in dead center in the fifth inning with Dale Mitchell on base to help nail down 5-2

Mrs. Marie Moline watches from

Trains and years - she has seen
many of them come and go.
Mrs. Moline was 95 yesterday.
There was big cake and a party
in her honor at the home of her
son, Reynold Moline, 1409 D. ORA

The Molines are railroading

ern locomotive engineers. His son,
George, also is a G. N. engineer
And Moline's son-in-lay, Raymond
Vaughn, is a fireman for the same
road.
That's why Mrs. Moline is an
avid watcher of trains which roll
through the Interplay Yards.
Three years ago a billboard was
erected next to the house. L.
blocked the view of the railroad
tracks
Soon afterward, the billboard
company dismantled the sign so
Mrs. Moline could have her view

Mrs Moline came to Seattle in
1890 from her native Norway. Her
husband, Louis, a ships carpenter,
died in 1919.

her own son, veteran of World

her problem is not 80 personel but
also involves many other fine
young men, such as those return
ed from Korea with grievous ex-
periences and painful injuries.
This latter group also includes
long-undernourished prisoners of
war, happily released.
Wrong Coffee, But Still Good
Mrs Ekenstedt, who was bonn
in Shelleftea Sweden, and came
to this country As years ago, has
even received letters of apprecia-
ton for her services from mothers
of boys at Fort LaWton. Letters
have reached her from various
parts Of the country.
When a Minnesota soldier, who
is without parents, was assigned
for duty in Alaska, one of his last
requests before leaving was that
Mrs. EkensteIt should write to
him. Now she feels like a real
mamma toward him.
The boys like these helpful
mothers so much they even get
confused about things. Like the

etor, A. Edwin Jacobsen, a Scan
dinavian American started his
present business as a hobby in
1916. He was working for City
Light at the time, testing and in
specting electrical equipment, and
in his spare time working at his
hobby of making designs and fig
urines of glass, having learned
the fundamentals of glass blow
ing and shaping from a German
glass worker.
Today Jacobsen turns out the

physical research laboratories, re-
pairs and makes new Mere barom-
eters, makes tubes of all kinds,
high vacuum pumps used in neon
work, does original research work
for inventors and makes up work
ing models for them. A good deal
of his work is for Boeing Aircraft.
The rooms are maze of scien-
tific equipment, rows on rows of
bottles of chemicals, glass rods
and tubing, odd shaped gadgets
made of glass, tanks of oxygen
and air. etc. Asked how he ever
located anything when he wanted
it. the artisan replied, Il put the
stuff there, and l know just where
it is"
Besides his glass work, Jacob
sen does easy things like wood
working and metal turning, lathe
and precision work. IF you mis-
shape a piece of iron, you can
beat it back into shape again, -
the craftsman said, but just try
beating a hunk of glass back into
shape"
