And knowing young owner Hor-
ace Stoneham as the kind Of a
gent likely to go out and get what
it takes, baseball men generally
presume that Businessman Dolpn
Camilli of the Philadelphia Phil
lies will start the 1887 campaign
in a Giant uniform.
The Giants are well fortified at
every post except that which q
combination Of old age and a bad
knee has forced Manager Bill
Terry to relinquish and Camiili
looks like the answer to the prob
lem.
AS the thing stacks up there
are more reasons why he should
be with the Giants than the Phil
lies, and baseball men believe the
shift will be made.
In the first place, the Giants
have the money and the Phillies
haven't, and right now Camili re-
mains among the last Of the hold
outs, his price being $4,000.
With or without him, the Phil
lies can't hope to get anywhere.
With him the Giants might. 1t
is barely possible. moreover, that
he would play for the Giants for
less than $4,000 the presump-
ton being that he has set that
figure with the Phils for the
express purpose Of making them
trade him.
AS the thing stands at the mo-
ment, the Giants have a good
hitting first baseman in Sambo
Leslie, but he can't field, and a
sparkling fielder in Jack Nc
Carthy who can't hit.
Camil1i was among the fielding
leaders at his position last sea-
son and batted a very impress
sive .315, which included %
home runs, Is triples and 20
doubles.
A left-handed pull hitter, Ca
MILL would find the Polo Grounds
a perfect setting for his talents.
Having thus disposed of Camilli
as holdout problem, the baseball
people turn to Pitcher Red Ruffing,
of the New York Yankees, and
Outfielder Paul Waner, of the
Pittsburgh Pirates, as the other
notableS on the dwindling holdout
roster with these conclusions:
Ruffing, a 20-game winner last
season, again will sign with the
Yankees for the $4,000 offered,
and forget about his $4,000 de-
mand, and Waner likewise will get
together with his owners over a
matter of $1,000 difference Of
opinion.

Nelson S Play
In Final Tells :
AT Augusta
BY WILLIAM q. GAUDE9

AUGUSTA, Ga, April 5-Whf1A
q 25-year-old youngster with the
lordly name Of Byron Nelson was
being hailed as the fourth Augusta
Masters golf champion and win.
ner Of $500 in prize money, they
were asking today not only how
this Reading Pa.) professional did
it, but why Bobby Jones didn't.
And from the several thousand
persons that flocked to the Augusta
national course, despite q rain that
left the links water-logged, there
were today available more than
1000 answers to both questions.
In explaining the why Of this
Nelson, who, in his opening round.
shattered the competitive course
record Of Henry Picard, of Hershey,
and Craig Wood, Of New York,
with truly sensational 66, they
pointed to several things.
Above all, they pointed to that
last nine holes when, trailing
Ralph Guldahl, of st. Louis, and
Ed Dudley, of Augusta, he came
through the rain with q blistering
32-foHr strokes under Ear. And,
in particular, there was that so.
foot chip shot on the thirteenth
that went straight into the Gun
for an eagle three. It was the
picking up Of those two strokes on
this hole that actually brought
Nelson the championship.
Aggregate IT 2S3
Those two strokes put him in
with an aggregate of 2S3, while
Ralph Guldahl, playing probably
his poorest round of the tourney.
came in With a 76 for a 36-hoie
card of 285. One stroke behind
came big Ed Dudley with 286 and
then Lighthouse" Harry Cooper,
287.
Other leaders were:
KY Laffoon, Chicago, 200: Jimmy
Thomson, Shawnee, Pa, 291: Al
Watrous, Detroit, 292; Vic Ghezzi,
Deal, N. j., 293: Jimmy Hines,
Garden City, L. l., 294; Leonard
Dodson, Springfield, Mo-, 294, and
Whiffy Cox, Washington, D. c.,
295.
In going into the why of Jones'
finishing back with a score Of 3O3,
there were those who pointed to
Nelson's low aggregate and said:
Back when Jones was at his
best they didn't have golfers
like That"
MANY EXPLANATIONS
There were many other explana,
tons, but from the crack profes.
SIGNALS, the ones who actually
played in this tournament and
know the treacherousnesS Of this
course that Bobby himself de-
signed, there came still different
reasoning.
Henry Picard, of Hershey, Pa,
second among the pro money win
ners, who has played with Bobby
both in practice and in this tournar
ment, put it this way:
Bobby is playing as well now
as he ever did. He plays tho
same during competition that
he does during practice rounds.
His iron shots were never better.
But Bobby Jones will never win
this tournament played over this
course. It's q great course to
90 out and play for fun on, but
for four rounds of competitive
golf it's too tricky-tOO tricky,
not only for Bobby but for the
best offers in the country to.
day."
In essence, both Sam Snead Of
White Sulphur Springs and Johnny
Revolta of Evanston agreed with

 New York, June 2.-(UPl William J. Dietrich's name went up m base balls hall of fame today.
 Don't be afraid to ask: Who's he?" Until yesterday Dietrich was just bull-pen pitcher for the Chi cago White Cox, and not a very good one at that.
 But today Dietrich, 27-year old bespectacled, right-hander had ac- complished the perfect pitching feat "a no-hit, no-run game. Unable to pitch nine complete innings all sea- son, he handcuffed the St. Louis Browns. one of the hardest-hitting teams in baseball, and scored an 8 to triumph.
 The Browns, who boast batting average of .292, only one point less than the elague leading Boston Red Sox, got only three men cn base. Rollie Hemsley walked in the sixth, but he was erased when Tom Carey hit into double play. Then Pitcher Walkup walked, but Davis grounded out. In the seventh Beau Bell was safe on Piet'S tumble, but Dietrich famed Harland Gift to retire the side.
 Dietrich, who won eight games and lost II pitching for the As, Sen- ators and White Sox last season, famed five men and walked two. Until he achieved his masterpiece Dietrich had won one game and lost

Chicago, June Jimmy Dykes, oldest active major league player, opposes the suggestion that batters wear a protective helmet on the ground that it only would invite beaning.
 What keeps pitchers from throw at batters heads is fear of injuring them," explains the manager of the Chicago White Sox. Assure pitch CTS that batters couldn't be hurt and give them a target in the way of headgear and I suspect baseball might look like one of those dodge 'em games you see at any county fair.
 "A pitcher doesn't have to throw at batter's head to drive him back from the plate, to keep him of ball. ance, or to set him up for subse- quent pitch. There is no danger of serious injury when a pitcher keeps such a ball below the shoulders"
 Dykes agrees with Burleigh Grimes that pitcher seldom would hit batter who expected to be struck. .,

Manager Jimmy Dykes saved Dietrich from going to the minors when Washington asked waivers on him last season. He never showed more than ordinary promise but Dykes claimed Dietrich had the stuff to make star some day.
 Dietrich is 27, weighs 19O pounds and is six feet in height. He was born in Philadelphia and got his first tryout with the Athletics in 1930 He played with Harrisburg, Wilkes-Barre, Portland and Mon- treal before getting back to the As.
 The White Sox rapped Hogsett and Van Alta for 10 hits, with Mike Kreevich getting three of them. The victory enabled the White Sox to move into fourth place ahead of the idle Red Sox.
 A three-run rally in the eighth enabled Cleveland to beat Detroit, 4-3, in the only other American League game. Lyn Larry, Indians, and Hank Greenberg,s Tigers, hit homers. It was Greenberg's l1th cir cult clout.,
