The group had its btrth a month ago when it undertook the task of requesting Bob George to retain Slump May Be Over For Dodgers; Campanella Fit BROOKLYN Ifll A "slump" may be over for the Brooklyn Dodgers, who lead the National League by only 11V4 games. Roy Campanella says he s fit again. Club physicians gave the free- swinging catcher the okay to play again yesterday after examining the injured knee wnicn nas Kepi him sidelined since June 29. Campy, beaming after hearing the report, said he plans to be be hind the plate when the Brooks re sume their pennant chase tomor row night against the St. Louis Cardinals. The club doctors fitted Cam panella with a special foam rubber inset for his shin guard to protect the injured area. "Now I can sloop down for the first time since I got injured in St. Louis, June 19 and it doesn't hurt," said Campanella. "That's a great feeling." Brooklyn club officials should be feeling great too. Since a spur on Campy's knee was aggravated by a foul tip, the Dodgers have had only a 9-10 record. Other injuries contributed to the slump, but with Roy's league lead ing batting average (.335) on the shelf and his home run output 10 at a standstill, Campanclla's ab sence was a big factor.

UPl At least six guards have quit their State Penitentiary jobs since last week's prison revolt and some of ficials said Tuesday it has been "difficult if not impossible" to get crews to man the cellblocks. The report of reluctance on the part of guards was given The Walla Walla Union-Bulletin by un official sources reported resigna tions may run as high as 10. All vacations and leaves have been cancelled, but some officers in addition to those who resigned have not reported for work. These developments coincided with reports of increasing tension among inmates at the big prison where prisoners held nine guards and officials as hostages for two days last week until they obtained concessions in prison rules. Warden Lawrence Dr-lmore Jr. ordered guards to "lock the damned place up, get the hell out and call me immediately" if they sense any new trouble. Delmore issued the orders Mon day after guards reported increas ing tension among prisoners over reports revolt ringleaders may be transferred to Eastern Slate Hos pital at Medical Lake, Wash., an institution for mental cases. Harris, at Olympia, said the six who resigned gave varied reasons. One of ,them, Eugene Wtnnet, was one of the nine hostages. Delmore said three men told him they were quitting because they felt their $242 monthly base pay was not worth the danger in volved. Harris reported he has plans to raise pay of guards "as soon as possible." He said money for increases was provided by the 1955 Legislature. The men who quit, in addition to Winnett. were Blakely Bishon. Don ald V. Brashear. Earl G. Gordon Jr., Carl W. Hunt and John D. Smith. The stale lists them as "correctional officers" rather than guards.

Kramer Hints He May Sign Up To Play Trabert NEW YORK !v-Jack Kramer says he may come out of sem retirement and play Tony Trabert on a professional tennis swing next fall if the deal can be arranged. "Frankly, I'm very much inter ested in signing Trabert to a pro contract, granting he has a big year," the young Los Angeles'pro motor, one of the game's greatest players, added today. "I can offer him as good a contract as I did Frank Sedgman $75,000." Kramer, whose tour has suffer ed during the last two years for need of new blood, said he had dis cussed the idea with various ten nis promoters around the coun try. "They all insist that I would be a better drawing card against Trabert than Pancho Gonzales," he said. "This seems to be the lineup they want and so I can't afford to be modest about it." Kramer has been on the side lines during the past several monlhs while Gonzales fattened his tennis reputation at the expense o'f Sedgman, Pancho Segura and others. Sedgman, who underwent an appendectomy yesterday, doesn't figure in future plans. "Trabert's Wimbledon victory gave him a tremendous boost," big Jake said. "Now if he can win the Nationals-at Forest Hills and help us keep the Davis Cup, he'll really be ripe. He can make a good pile of dough In two years." Trabert has announced his de sire to go into professional tennis, when his record warrants.

Wed., July 13, 1955 Tht New Yacht Record To Hawaiian Isles Appears Certain HONOLULU tfi A new record in the 2,200 mile Transpacific Yacht race seemed certain Wednesday and there was pros pect of a close two-boat finish for the first time in the 49-year-old classic. Richard S. Rheem's ketch Morn ing Star held a lead estimated at 60 miles early Tuesday. But Wil liam S. Pomeroy'a 108-foot schoon er Ramona, which gambled on a late northerly tack, may be in bat ter wind position for the run to the Diamond Head finish. In good winds, the Ramona, a San Francisco boat, is slightly faster than Rheem's 98-foot Morn ing Slar, a I.os Angeles craft. The Morning Star, holder of the 1951 crossing record of 10 days 10 hours and 13 minutes, should reach Diamond Head between 7 and 9 p.m. Hawaii time, Wednes day night, the Coast Guard cutter Gresham estimated. This would break Morning Star's own record by nearly 24 hours in the San Pedro-to-Hono-lulu race. The Gresham radioed Tuesday night that the Mai Tai, John S. Griffith's 65-foot yawl, had lost her main boom and was out of the race. The Mai Tai said no one to Honolulu.
