Campbell Gets $6,000 Settlement from Nats
Bruce Campbell, former major league outfielder, received a $6,000 settlement from the Washington Senators after alleging a violation of his GI reemployment rights. He left for Minneapolis to finish the season in the American Association, with owner Clark Griffith paying the amount on a $9,000 contract for 1946. The team released him after a few weeks, which Campbell argued breached his right to a year's employment at his prewar rate.
