Additional Sport CAMILLLSTEPS
 TO FOREFRONT- : AT FIRST BASE
DOdger Joins Big Four of
 Dahlgren, Young and . McC Cofmick
By PAUL sCHEFFELs

Z United Press Stan CorrcspOndent) New York, April 26s-(UP)-On a team that has annually earned the indisputable right to the title of ,""gcrewballs" of the National league, Ooiph Cami1li of the Brooklyn Dodgers seems all the more gifted because of his regular and depend- able performances at first base.
 Dark Dolph is Q good first bage- inanr-sosne say the best in the league. Certainly Babe Dahlgren of the Boston Bees, Frank Me- Cormick of the Cincinnati Reds and Babe Young of the New York Giants are the only other players who even approach his act at that post.
 1t doesn't come under the head ing of risky business to predict what kind of season Camilli will have. This year will mark his ninth in the major leagues and fourth ' with Brooklyn since Larry Mac- Phail bought him from the Phila- delphia Phillieg in 1o38 for Ed Morgan and cash reportedly amounting 70 %4o oVVV,
 Good for 100 Runs
 Candili should knock in about 100 runs this year because only once during the past five seasons has he failed to approach that fig ure and that was in 1887 when he sent 90 runs across the plate for the Philiies. t4
 His batting average will be close to 300 for 194l. Dolph has con- piled c major league mark of .286 and during the past five campaigns 'i--in two of which he batted over .300--his figure went lower than .2e7 only once, and then 1t dropped to .25l.
 D When 1t comes to hitting honaers, Camilli is particularly effective. He has clouted e total of I'll curing his major league stay and belted "a for the Dodgers during the past |. three years. His penchant for hit- ting hoinerS may account for what is the only serious flaw in his makeup - strikeouts. He whifS more often than any other mem Der oe the odgers but offsets that handicap by driving in more tallies. s. Known for Durability
 On the field he's just as smooth and effective. Powerfully built. Canniili Is c hard man to put out of commission. It takes more than an ordinary collision to force him out of the lineup. Last year he missed a few contests after collid- ing with Buddy Hasyett of the Bos- ton EDees.
 Although Mccormick and Young may have e slight edge on Cafailli offenSively, neither is his equal afield. Perhaps Dahlgren, Q former ], American leaguer. Is his closest rival. But the left.handed Camilli can do all the tasks that the right handed Dalllgren does with equal skill. There's little to choose either way on the defense as both make uncanny catches of wild throws and are wizards when 1t comes to engaging q grounder and tagging e runner as he whizzes by. :, CamtNrS exceptional skill as q fielder when combined with his potency ct the plate gives him the edge over Dahlgren, however, and until Dahlgren can find the base. hit range and Mccormick and Young acquire brilliant fielding ability, Camilll gets the vote aS the test all.round first base guardian in the National league.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 31.--Ths
United States lost its first naval
vessel in World War III today when
the U.S.S. destroyer Reuben James
was torpedoed and sunk early this
morning while conveying in the
North Atlantic, west Of Iceland.
Fhe vessel, a four-staeker Of
World War vintage, had 100 olfi-
GERS and men aboard. Although
the navy bad no information as to
the extent of casualties. it was
feared they would be heavy.
THIRTEENTH SHIP HIT
The Reuben James was the thir-
teenth American ship to have been
attacked in this war, and the Sec
ond United States destroyer to
wage a losing fight with subma-
rine. Earlier this month, the de-
stroyer Kearny was torpedoed
amidships, but made port with loss
of only IL lives.
Although the navy's initial an
nouncement contained only the
bare fact that the Reuben James,
la relic of the first World NNn
thad been lost. it was immediately
presumed in Washington that the
ATTACKING submarine was German.
| The commanding officer on The
Reuben James was Lieut., Conn
mander Fl. l. Edwards, according
to the announcement.
The fact that the destroyer was
sunk west of Iceland indicated
that she might have gone down In
the Danish Straits which might
possibly mean that the vessel was
conveying goods to Russia.
It marked the third encounter
between an American destroyer
and submarine. the u. s. s.
Greer having been fired on but
mot hit.
Seven freighters and two tank
ers have been sunk and two other
Ifreighters were struck by aircraft
fire.
The Reuben James was one OF
! the old fiush-deck type of destroy
ers built at the end OF the World
War. The ship, 314 feet long with
a beam OF 30 feet, was commits
stoned Sept. "a, 1920.
According to the navy, the yes-
! sci was armed with 4-inch cannons
and battery of anti-aircraft guns.
4 The vessel, which had a dis
placement of 1,190 tons, was built
by the New York ShipbuiIding
Company.
1t was named in honor Of Reu-
ben James, boatswain's mate in
the United States Navy who took
part in the war against Barbary
Coast pirates. James saved the
life of Capt. Stephen Decatur by
interposing his body between that

The cause of the crash which
