Limited Press Stan Correspondent

Pinehurst, N. C., April 3-(UP) -Baseballs immortals were in- creased by one today, for an hour ago wired the St. Louis Cardinals informing them had quit the game forever, and would devote the re- mainder of my life to professional golf.
 Promised to Quit
 When the Cardinals refused to meet my terms several weeks ago I told them if they persisted I would turn in my uniform and don the baggy knickers that is the rain- ment of the fairways. They didn't believe me. Hadn't Babe Ruth, Dizzy Dean, and many other stars threat ened to do the same thing when their salary demands were refused?
 But meant it and so, right now, insofar as baseball is concerned I belong to the ages, along with Wal ter Johnson, Ty Cobb, Nick Altrock, and Hans Wagner. doubt, however, if will sit for the bust the lovers of the game will undoubtedly want to place in the hall of fame at Cooperstown. For to have my bust struck, if you will allow me to slip into the patoiS of the studio, I would have to once again wear the livery of the St. Louis Cardinals. And the very thought is galling to me. If the hall of fame officials in- sist their memorial would not be complete without some reminder Of me, suggest they simply order that the number l wore on my uniform when I played with the Cardinalss Git was 9 or 76, I forgot which) never be worn by any player again.
 But enough of baseball. Let us be on to golf, my new life;s work. At the moment I am an amateur. There is still a 'Mr." before my name on the scoreboard. And will remain an amateur long enough to play in the north and south anna teur championship which begins here Monday.
 I entered that tournament today and, as a tip off on the respect in which I am held, was given the best starting time of any one in the field. am scheduled to start at 5:45 in the morning. This is the choice spot for more reason than one. In the first place, there is no one out on the course at that time to check up on you. Not that ! would fear that, but I believe that the presence of an official spy, SO to speak, would rub my sense of honor the wrong way. si& 5..
 In the second place, a 5:45 a. m., start does away with a big gallery. If there is anything more discon- certing than fawning gallery when you are playing your fifth out of a trap I don't know what 1t is.
 Thirly,- the greens stiil are soaked with dew, and your shots to the pin don't bounce so far.

|REYMONDS ROUT |COM M U NITIES FOR HILL GROWN
Martin Stands Out in Title Game Kelly, SuIIi-
 van ScOreIess

The Reyxond Hillies showed the largest crowd to ever witness bas- ketbal game on Washington HiIl why they should be classed as the outstanding junior team in the city by handing the Community club team 36 to 19 setback last night to win the championship of the community house senior league and a leg on the Martin Scully memorial trophy.
 First Period Even
 After being held on even terms for the first five minutes of play Red Gladney's cohorts started to go to town and they were not to be denied victory. They put on first class passing exhibition and worked the ball in under the hoop on sev- eral occasions to catch their op- ponents off guard and scored sev- eral easy shots. The winners put up a strong defense and it was not until after the first 16 minutes of action that the Community club team scored their first field goal and Nick Platt followed his first basket up with another just before the half to score the only baskets for the losers in the first half.
 Martin Stars
 Picking the star for the Hillies would be impossible as the entire team was clicking last night but Johnny Martin played the greatest game of his career and along with Al Colgan scored 10 points each for high scoring honors. Pete Pomponio continued on his scoring and added eight points to his list last night. The Community club planned to stop Freddie Sullivan from scoring last night and though he failed to register a point it was Sullivan and Nick LaRusso whom the winners built their passing attack around and left the scoring to Martin, Pom- ponio and Colgan.
 Ricutti and Platt were high point getters for the losers and the game was well handled by Jim Tracy who kept the game. under control at all times. Last nights score:

 SMALL LEAD OF THREE STROKES
Penn Pro Scoring Sub-par Golf Dudley, GuIdahI
 Close Up
BY STUART, CAMERON United Press Sports EditOr)

Augusta, Ga, April 3-(UP) - The Augusta National Golf cham pionship reached the stretch stage today with just ten of the original field of 46 holding even an outside chance of taking the $500 top prize money.
 Of these ten only three had been rated as real prospects when the fourth annual masters tourney began Thursday. The other seven were horses of varying degrees of darkness.
 Byron Nelson of Reading, Pa., bona fide dark horse, was still the man to watch today. He followed an amazing opening 66 with 8 comfortable par 72 for an aggre- gate of 138 which paced the field by three points. His nearest rivals were Ralph Guldahl of St. Louis and big Ed Dudley, the home pro, who were tied at Al.
 Best Picks
 Guldahl and Dudley were prime choices in the final betting as was Harry Cooper, the thin-t -thatched Chicagoall who was one notch further back with an aggregate of 142. This total was matched by Wiffy Cox, the Brooklynite, now of Washington.
 The other i've who still could be rated as contenders were ky Laf- foon of Chicago, Tony Manero of Salem. Mass, and Johnny Revolta of Chicago, with 143 each, and Vic Ghezzi, of Deal N. J., and Jimmy Thomson of Shawnee-on-Delaware. Pa., with IA apiece.
 Clear out of 1t was Bob Jones who Is making his annual one-tourna- ment return to golf. Bob improved upon an original 79 with a "A in the second round, but the total of lS3 left him IS strokes back of the leader.
 Robert had plenty of illustrio,ls company. Another former British and U. s. Open champion, Gene Sarazen, the Connecticut gentleman farmer, had second-round 30 for l54. At various other places in the standing were defending Champion Horton Smith at 147; the new star. Sam Snead, at 148; Dapper Paul Runyan at 151, and Fly Picard at 152. ~

V. DiMaggio And D. Dallesandro To Be Given Ozone
By ERNEST PARCELLA

United Press Staff C0rresp0ndent)
 Boston, April 3-(UP)-Letting the sports chips fall where they may:
 There's be no joy in Boston's Little Italy" this summer unless a couple of rockies at the Hub train- ing camps show 8 sudden form re- versal. We refer to Vince Di- Maggino of the Bees and Dominic D'Allesandro of the Red Sox.
 Vince and Dominic seem about ready to take trip back to the minors. Chief trouble with Di- Maggie is that he can't hit, as was pointed out here a fortnight ago. .. The guy is a pretty classy out. fl elder, reputedly has a better throwing arm than his illustrious brother Joe and is faster on the bases. But he can't even hit one that's down the alley.
 Though Manager Bill McKechnie refuses to commit himself and Pres ident Bob Quinn is not available for comment, it's understood Vince will be shipped back to the San Diago club of the Pacific coast league as soon as the financial end of it can be arranged.
 As for D'Allesandro, the chunky little Italian hits one occasionally ... But as an outfielder he acts as if he were playing for Brooklyn. The other day he was conked by a fly ball for the second time in two days.
 Namesakes
 The Cambridge (Mass.) Latin high school baseball team has Jimmy Foxx trying out for first base and a second sacker named Lou Gehrig. ... They are not related to their big league namesakes.
 Boston still is mighty mid-Vic- torian about a lot of things. |. For instance, some 10000 persons paid fees rangin gfrom $1.1O to $40 last night to see skating carnival here. .. A lot of them were 1ured by the prospect of seeing the taffy-haired Austrian doll, Melitta Brunner, do her celebrated torch dance dressed in little more than gold paint.
 But, 10 and behold, when the time came for what was advertised as a "hot" act, the beauteous Brunner came out on the ice in a frilly cos- tune and did an old lavender and lace Viennese waltz instead. Several hundred customers promptly got up and walked out. Not be- cause Melitta wasn't grand-she was but the clients didn't get what they paid to see.
 There were at least four different versions for the unexpected and un- advertised change in program:
 Said arrangements man James Madden: We thought the Viennese waltz fitted the script better so de- cided couple of days ago to elim- mate the torch dance"
 Said sister Grace Madden: 'The torch number got 8 cool reception in New York so we decided to cut it out"
 Said La Brunner's manager: "Thesponsors thought the act lit- tie too sensational" (which sounds like the real reaSon).
 Said La Brunner: T left my gold paint home."
