Dizzy Dean Still In Uniform So Tears Are Not In Order MIX DAMS STAN rAKTKNHKIMK.R By FRANK GIBBON'S Bfaron Journal Special Writer BOSTON, May 15. This he a great day in the life of Clarence Campbell, who hit his first major league home-run yesterday to play a major mle in the defeat of the New York Yankees, but the Camp-hell career is still in doubt and thp day isn't as carefree as it might be. Campbell, who was wooed away frnm the study of medicine by the baseball and never has iprnvered his heart, appears to be destined to spend most of his (iavs on the bench this season, despite his fine work as a replacement for Roy Weatherly. A willing worker, a hustler from hell to bell, fast and with power at the plate, Campbell has most of the earmarks of a major league hall player.

Could be that regular work would iron out some of the utile uncertainties wnicn pre- vent him from becoming a first lire man. That regular work is still going tn he hard to get. As soon as Weatlierly's injured sjioulder is completely well, back will go the tinv man to centerfield. Manager Perkinpniigh ha nid that Healh, whose hit-tins; comeback is so Impressive, ill stay in rlgh and Gee Walker will remain In left. Weatherly, the Indians hint, has test some of his speed.

His fat legs don't twinkle with their old twinkle, but he still is a more dependable outfielder than Campbell in everybody's opinion, still figures to hit as well or better and that's that. Only hope for advancement which can be held by Campbell nf, this moment is to supersede Beau Bell asthe Tribe's first outfield replacement. In this ambition, too. there is an obstacle. Bell is a right-handed hitter who has been used against smithpaws by Peckinpaugh.

Campbell has much trouble with left-handers, as does Heath, Camp hell will cover more ground, acres nf it, than Bell, but, again he isn't, rated as sure a catch. Campbell, unfortunately, is the hnght young man in the firm who must wait until the more solid members move along, get fired or deteriorate with the pass.vge of time. Regardless, they can't take his supreme moment away from him, the one which come in the eighth inning when his swishing bat propelled a pitch by Red Ruffing far into the right field seats and chased Lou Boudreau along home ahead of him. That was the blow which broke a 1-1 tie, boosted Mel Harder to his fourth straight victory and started the Indians wondering if the Yankees are on the skids to say. The final score was 4 to The Yankees were fairly impressive in Cleveland last week, but not so impressive in the two games in New York, despite the closeness of the scores.

Kxcept for Marius Russo and, possibly, Ernie Bonham, they haven't got any first rate pitching. Look for another rookie or tuo to come up from Newark or Kansas City In the near future. WIX MKDAl.S Chosen to the All-National Amateur Baseball federation tournament team lust year at Kirmingham, Stan rarteiiheiiner and till Davis of the 1 10 Killian baseball Huh today had received medals emblematic of the honors awarded them.

It feels dead when throw." As a coach, Dean will not be paid the $10,000 tie was drawing as a pitcher, but the difference, it was said, will be applied by the ball club to an annuity for him. His duties principally will be to aid young huilers, and work in the bull pen. He will not do any baseline coaching.

With Dean made a coach, the Cubs got down to the legal 25-player limit today by optioning Pitcher Ken Raffensberger to St. Paul of the American association, and First Baseman Ed Waitkus to Tulsa of the Texas league.

Yanks wind up the Youngstown series, as well as their first home stand of the season, In a game 'vilght at 8:15 o'clock. Paul Dair, right-hander who was with the Yanks for part of last season, will hurl for Akron. Yesterday's fracas, which consumed two hours and 28 minutes, produced 30 hits and eight errors, in addition to a mild fight which involved most of the players on both teams. The scrap occurred when Manager "Rum" Boyle walked to the mound to remove Murray, Akron's starting pitcher, in the fourth Inning.

A few words from the youngstown bench prompted Boyle to visit that sector snd within a few seconds the rest of the Akron squad was with him. Several punches were swung be-fore the boys were separated, but no successor to Joe Louis was discovered. Akron's batting showed a distinct improvement yesterday, the boys slapping the pitches of Frank Rochevot for 13 hits, in-, eluding three doubles and a homer, but the Yankee twirling, as represented by Southpaw Murray and Right-hander Jack McKlnney left plenty to be desired. The Browns collected a total of 17 hits and benefited considerably from some miserable Akron defensive play, not all of which is shown by the Yanks' four errors.
