Hitler to have played as recently as
a year ago. Now it might not be so
smart. This place is good deal
tougher than it used to be when it
was just a ferry base. Nor is it now,
as it used to be. the only adequate
land base on Newfoundland.
I personally have visited several
others on this trip, and learned of
many more. The Americans are in
Newfoundland in strength.
I came up here believing that the
great base was still the widely pub
licized Botwood. Botwood is still a
going concern and will be of con-
siderable Importance in the near
future. But Botwood isn't a patch
on this place.
Whoever selected this place-and
credit seems due chiefly to repre-

Gas Rationing Causes

Effect of Fuel Cut

ATLANTA, May 14-War-worried

day if their clubs, already feeling
effects of reduced attendance, could
survive the added blow of curtailed

fan.
Directors of one league, the Glass

limit many fans who travel by au-
tomobile to only three gallons of
fuel a week.

Cannpbe||'s Skid
Al Bat Severe
Blow 10 Mats
Case Due to Replace
Bruce; Newsom Hurt
By Poor Support
BY BURTON HAWKINS,
star stan Correspondent.


CLEVELAND. May 14.-Bruce
Campbell, who earlier in the season
was mingling with the coveted COM,
pany Of the leagues top five hitters.
suddenly has skidded to less select
society and the sturdy outfelder's
decline is bringing additional grief
to the Mats.
Campbell was harboring no ideas
of remaining In that exclusive 400
set for a prolonged period but his
abrupt power dive has represented
a sorrowful shock to Manager Bucky
Harris, who is having his troubles
attempting to present lineup that
possesses passable hitting.
Harris wasn't overly optimistic
when Campbell was displaying q
.425 batting mark after the Mats
first 10 games, but he could be ex-
cused for feeling the sincere, hard
working veteran was headed for one
Of his most successful seasons.
Bruce was blasting the leagues
pitching emphatically and often.
Few Runs Batted In.
Lately, though, Bruce's batting
has suffered q relapse and with 1t
has come fielding collapse. In his
last seven games, Campbell has
hatted scrawny Ill. He hasn't
been helping the Mats in that vital
cleanup spot, for he has batted in
only one run over that span. Y
His nine runs batted In are no
compliment to Campbell. In the
more opportune No. batting berth,
he has failed to propel as many
mates across the plate as Stan
Spence, Mickey Vernon or Bobby
Estalella and has driven in only
one more run than George Case or
Jake Early, who have seen only
sporadic service.
The semibald Campbell has prog
ressed to the twilight era of his base
ball career and doubtless would
benefit by occasional rest but the
Mats aren't constructed that way.
Even in the worst slump Of his
career, Bruce is regarded as q better
gamble than the floundering Rob-
erto Ortiz
When Case. currently out with .
damaged shoulder, again Is At for
duty Harris then will be able to re-
fresh Campbell by the employment
Of Case, Spence and Mike Chartak
outfield. II Chartak develops as
Bucky hopes he'll inherit the right
field job permanently.
There Is ample reason for Harris
to become panicky over the recent
general failure of his hitters. In
compiling a three-game losing
streak, the Mats have averaged five
hits q game. yesterday dropping
three-hit affair to Detroit's Hal
Newhouser. 60.
Irking Harris is the fact he has
been getting good pitching, but still
losing. At New York the Mats blew
two decisions despite superb hurting
by Sid Hudson and Early Wynn.
Against the Tigers yesterday Buck
Newsom was no disappointment.
Gomez Helps to Lose.
Despite yielding nine hits in the
seven innings he labored, Newsom
was pitching a tolerable contest.
Twice when the Tigers came up
with two-run innings, Newsom could
have been out Of trouble had Second
Baseman Jose Gomez displayed
more zest on grounders to his right.
A two-base error by Campbell,
who muffed Jimmy Bloodworth's
easy fly opening the Tigers portion
of the first, led to Detroit's initial
