while Comdr. Karns was on duty
there. She carried prayer book

They reached the city of Elverum,
where the girl photographer said
she received her baptism of fire."
THE screams were terrible as
people were killed" she said, but I
think the worst was the scream of
a dying horse. I tried to take pic
lures, but it was too much at that
time and left the city for about
two hours"
Fortifying herself, Miss Berggrav
returned to Elverum and photo
graphed the scenes of destruction.
With the Nazi's pushing onward,
she travelled to Hamar, where she
joined the Norwegian Army re-
treating to the north. The young
girl remained with the army for two
months, she said, photographing and
helping to publish daily newspaper
for the men.
1--WE still had radio contacts" she
explained, "and we were able to
keep our men informed as to what

world"
Helped Save Gold
As King Haakon Fled.
In addition to her reportorial and
Photographic work, Miss Berggrav
helped cook meals, find eggs In
deserted poultry houses, and even
milk the cows.
That was hard at first" she
laughed, "but fortunately my fingers
were strong from practicing the
piano"
Miss Berggrav remained in Nor
way until the complete occupation
by the enemy. With "a others she
helped save more than half of Nor
ways gold on a small fishing vessel
which trailed behind King Haa-
kon, making his escape on a British
man-of war.
Half OF the gold was taken by
the government officials and the
King aboard the battleship," she
explained, but they had to depart
so hastily half was left behind on
the dock where the army had been
located. We placed it on a small
civilian vessel and although fired
on by the Nazis we managed to get
safely to Tromsee, from where the
gold was later carried to England
after the complete Nazi occupation
of Norway.
Crossing into Finland from Nor
way, Miss Berggrav remained in Hell
singfors for eight months while ne
gotiating her visa for entrance into
the United States. While there she
supported herself photographing
Finnish children.
The story of her subsequent jour-
ney across Russia to the Caspian
Sea, then to Persia and Bombay,
around Cape Good Hope by Nor
wegian freighter and eventually to
Montreal, Canada, rivals the ex-
periences of Sinbad the sailor.

of five times at bat and every time
he hit he managed to make the
circuit of the bases and get lone
before his side was retired He had
what has been called regular
Field Day, two of his hits earn
ing extra bases.
Nick pitched wonderful game
too, allowing only one base on balls
and minimum of base hits.
Lest this story turn into paeam
of praise for one man only, let's
not forget to give plenty of credit
to the rest of the Division team.
Ed Butler at first was stonewall
in defense. Francis Daddona was
real Phil Rizzuto in the infield
and tiny Joe Giampietro in the out
field was gobbling up flies all over
the place. With such fine support
it is no wonder that the Pitcher
Captain was anxious to show his
best wares.
Domenic Mencio's boys still show
considerable weakness in their
fielding Ernie Hollenborg does
good job in the pitchers box and
he collected a two base hit for the
Bulldogs, but he is not getting the
support he deserves. We believe
that the bulldogs will yet succeed
in putting a winning combination
on the field.

BY HARRY GRAYSON
NEA Sports Editor

New York, July 11-Baseball
veterans faring up on slight prov
ocation, acting like spoiled brats in
midseason of hot league race, as
was the case with the Brooklyn
Dodgers, is not only lamentable. It's
downright ridiculous.
Maybe some of the old dodgers
have peeve against Leo Durocher,
who is chockful of ham, but that's
no excuse for using one of his dis
ciplinary actions as an excuse to
stage a rebellion.
Had it not been nipped in the
bud, the revolt would have had a
disastrous effect on the Brooks, the
club stockholders, the league, the
loyal Flatbush filberts and the game
in general. The Brooklyn club comes
close to supporting the National
League.
Customers didn't pay their way
into Ebbets Field to hear an an
nouncement that Dem Buns we're
too busy putting on cry-baby act
to play, that they were all upset
because their manager chastised one
of them for INSTRUMENTATION.
To their credit, the Buns took
their case directly to Durocher, did
not go over his head behind his
back as did the Cleveland Cry
Babies in the case of Old Oscar
Ostracized Witt. But on the other
hand there was no war on when the
Indians ran through Alva Bradleys
swinging doors with crying towels.
Reaction of Mr.. Average Fan to
such puerile pouting is: "If these
guys can't stand little discipline
from the team boss who has been
a highly successful manager, why
not let them try the soothing rasp
of tough top sergeant? Or the
crisp, curt orders of a shop fore
man in a war production plant?"
Their sit-down strike came on the
day our boys stormed the rocky
coasts of Sicily. Their attitude suf-
fers immensely in comparison with
the obedient promptness of Ike
E1senhoWer's brave men, of our men
In the Solomons, Aleutians and
other points of the compass. None
of them thinks of turning in his suit
and saving: IT amt GONNA play
cause I'm mad at you"
Had that happened in a wholesale
way, as it threatened to, the Buns
would be buns in a more than fig
urative sense.
Sticking to the complaint against
Durocher, it was obvious that the
club was out of hand. with such
pillars as Billy Herman, Dixie
Walker, Arkv Vaughan and Bobo
Newsom speaking right out in class.
Ofhand. the guess would be that
Iippv Leo is on his wav out, Branch
Ricl,ey didn't want him in the first
place.
Following the f1arelp. the Dodgers
scored % runs in four innings to
slaughter the Pirates.
On that basis, Leo Durocher
should frame pre-game rebellion
every day.

Browns revealed today that Buck
NeWsom, veteran major league
highlander, has agreed to report
to the club tomorrow in time to
pitch against the Cleveland Indians,
NeWsom, winner of nine games

ocher. SouthpaWs Archie McKain
ard Fritz Ostermueller went to the
Dodgers in the deal.
Buck will report here tomorrow
morning." Barnes said, land will, in
all probability. pitch against Cleve-
land that afternoon"
Newsom charged that he had been
given a raw deal" when traded to
st. Louis and repeatedly stated he
would definitely not report" He
took that stand several times, the
latest occasion being after a tele-
phone conversation with Barnes yes
terday morning from New York.
The bulky hurler had his great
est season with Detroit in 1910 when
he won 81 and lost five to lead the
Tigers to the flag. He was Brook
