COLLINS TO SIT
 ON SIDELINES AT
 CONTEST TONIGHT

Frank Collins, veteran ball player who has been filling in at first base for the Moose ball club since the teams ranks suffered with players leaving for the Westward, won't be in the lineup tonight.
 Collins dove for a wide pitch from catcher Kelly Blake to first last night and got the ball on his right hand little finger, smashing that member open.
 Manager-Coach Stan Grummett, with weak leg ligament, will likely fill Collins shoes on the first sack.

Rationing Of Gasoline
In Europe Worries
U. 5. Exporters
Restrictions, High Prices,
Toxes Leuve Future
Of Market in Doubt
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Europe's widespread gasoline ra-
tioning has ended joy-riding,
doomed bicycle sales, trotted horses
back into the picture and started
American exporters of petroleum
and automotive products worrying
about the future of their markets.
A survey of motor fuel restric-
tions, based on Commerce Depart
ment cables, showed today that
gasoline consumption had been cur
tailed severely and prices and taxes
increased throughout Europe as a
result Of wartime Enforced econo-
mics and transportation hazards.
Whether American petroleum
shipments to belligerents for war
use have increased enough to Offset
reduced civilian consumption is a
question.
In addition to strict rationing, all
European countries are encourag-
ing or requiring utilization of sub
stitutes, including mixtures of alco-
hol with gasoline, gas manufac-
tured from solid fuels, compressed
Illuminating gas carried in bags or
cylinders, and electric batteries.
Faced with inability to secure suf-
ficient gasoline, increased prices and
driving restrictions, thousands of
Europeans have stored their cars
and are using trains, buses, bicycles
or their feet for transportation.
Drivers of automobiles still oper-
ating carry distinctive signs, are sub
ject to police questioning and must
produce vari-colored rationing book
lets or cards at gas pumps to get
their daily scanty allotment.
Many taxi drivers are forced to
accept passengers only for destina-
tions they can reach with the gaso-
line still in their tanks.
