...warning shot to the left, into the building. Powell swung the knife. Gilligan blocked the blow with his right hand, but the blade scraped his arm. Powell slashed out again, and Gilligan fired at his raised hand. The bullet went through Powell's arm just above the wrist, lodged in his chest. Powell lunged again, still stabbing with the knife. Gilligan stepped back, fired into Powell's abdomen. The youth fell to the sidewalk and died...
...chance for 125 RBIs. The best pitcher, 19-year-old Wally Bunker (season's record: 14-4), worked only four big-league innings before this year.

Led by a lad in a silk top hat, some of them turned on Pharmacist William Greene, 51, dragged him from his seat, beat him, took his $85 wrist watch and a wallet containing $100. Fifteen other passengers, terrified and outnumbered, watched helplessly. In Harlem, about 15 Negro teenagers, including several girls, found 57-year-old Actor Julian Zalewski alone in a subway car, picked him up, dropped him to the floor, rifled his pockets, took $26. He fought...
