A week ago, the Yanks needed
an opening victory in their
showdown series with Chicago to
hold the lead. It was the 35-

the call and won.
Last night the situation was
the same and Manager Casey
Stengel again called on his
southpaw surprise. Byrne clicked
again, holding the White Sox to
four hits and wrapping up a 10
decision as Yogi Berra slammed
his 17th home run to lead OF
the sixth inning.
That stretched the Yankees
lead to two games while Chicago
stayed in a virtual second-place
tie with Cleveland, beaten SCI at
Boston.
Byrne, a throwback to the

back, was in a bases-loaded, two

Injury to Boy
Spurs Action

An injury to a 4l2-year-old
boy who fell from the top of a
12-foot slide at the Takoma Rec
reation Center recently, evoked
the concern OF the Manor Park
Citizens Association last night.
The group called for the re-
moval of this slide from the
young children's section of the
playground and asked that signs
be posted warning parents not
to allow children under six on
the the lot unless they are &C
companied by parents or older
children.
Robert H. Snead. director of
the Takoma center, who was
present at the meeting, said the
playground supervisors were not
responsible for the accident. He
said the boy had strayed out of
his yard and entered the play
ground unnoticed before the
accident.

Builder License
LawUrged Here

last night by the Progressive
Citizens Association of George
town.
The motion, presented by Ms.
Harold Hinton, would make the
builder. rather than the owner,
responsible for all work done
under his license. Mrs. Hinton
said such laws would protect re-
liable builders and citizens from
fly-by-night operators and would
save owners of property thou
sands of dollars.
ZOning Request
The group also gave Mrs. Hin
ton its support in pointing out
to the Board of Zoninq Appeals
the danger of expanding insti-
tutions in the residential areas
of Georgetown. Mrs. Hinton was
empowered to ask, in the associ-
atoms behalf, that definite re-
strictions as to lights, signs and
height of building be stated be-
fore giving permission for ex-
pansion.

them by far the great majority
