UP) Dolph Camilli, veteran first basomnn recently obtained by tho New York Olunts from tho Brooklyn Dodgers, announced yesterday afternoon he was quit ing baseball. Camilli mudo the announce ment after a two-hour confer ence with Monuger Mcl Ott and President Horace Stonehum. "I feel that I cun't bo of any help to the Giants," said Camilli, who is experiencing his poorest yenr ut tho plate. Two years ugo he wus voted tho National league's most valuablo pluycr uwurd. Br BID FEDER NEW YORK, Aug. fl UP) Dolph Camllll's back-to-the-farm movement is going to cost him $1,000 a week for the next eight weeks and even an eminent agriculturist llko Dolph will ad mit that "ain't hay." But not evon thot 8000 the remainder of his salary for 1043 If he'd change his mind about re tiring from boseboll Is enough to convince (he 30-year-old Lay tonvllle larrupcr that he's not all washed up as a ball player and ready for the life of a coun try gentleman on his 1730 (count 'em) acres. About all Dolph would have had to do to get that eight G's for the last eight weeks of the season would bo to show up at tho Polo Grounds and let Giants' President Horace Stonehum hand him a pay-check every two weeks. So all baseball was wondering today if maybe Dolph's 18 years In the game 11 of them In the National league with Chicago, Philadelphia and Brooklyn, be fore being traded to the Giants last Saturday had done some thing to him at last. But Ca milli says ho knows exactly what he's doing.

Pallbearers Not Needed In Big Ten 700 Grid Ployert Roport For Summer Practice in Western Conference By CHARLES CHAMBERLAIN CHICAGO. Aug. 6 (IP) Foot bull may be In the hands of pall bearers In some parts of the country for the duration, but in the western conference, where 700 players have rcnorted for summer practices, the coffin corner still is a gridiron term. Major John L. Griffith. Big Ten commissioner of athletics. said he is delighted with the general pirture, declaring that the game's health is being watch ed by the best doctors In the world 'The American public, who Insists it continue; school officials, who arc supporting it more than ever because of its training values; and military leaders, who arc chorusing, "send us more of those football players.' " Major Griffith refuses to be come alarmed over reports that 189 colleges in the nation have abandoned football for the dura tion and he estimates that more thun 80 per cent of the colleges which competed in 1941 will have teams operntlng this fall. ' Enrollment of service men with gridiron experience has mudo this possible. Already it is possible to name the most important football alignment of 1943. If tho Wisconsin-Michigan tilt. Half back Elroy Hirsch, Quarterback Jack Wink and Center Fred Negus, who helDed Wisconsin' best team In 30 years gain run- ncr-up honors last fall, were shifted as service students to Michigan along with several promising freshmen. The Wolverines also nabbed Minnesota men, and with this tolcnt abetting such holdover material as Back Bob Wiese and Linemen Mcrv Pregulman and Julius Franks, Michigan should have the strongest football unit In the country.

In pairings announced today White was named as McSpaden's opponent In 36-hole match play competition of the war-orphaned Ryder Cup series at Jimmy De marct's Plum Hollow course, where some $30,000 I expected to be raised for the American Red Cross. Four team matches are scheduled tomorrow. A fortnight ago the 32-year-old White lost an 18-hole play, off by one shot to McSpaden, smooth stroking Philadelphlan, for the Chicago title, but this time over the longer distance he'll have his chance at hand-to-hand match play. There are seven other singles matches. Craig Wood, Ryder captain, will oppose Coast Guardsman Jimmy Thomson of Walter Hagen's challenge squad, and the veteran Gene Sarazen of tho cuppers will tackle Navy Lieut. Lawson Little.

Wrestling Promoter, Now MP, Guards Plane Factory in South Mack Lillard, former boxing and wrestling promoter for Klamath Falls (he still has the Job, officially) was here for a short visit Thursday and Friday from Inglewood, Calif., where he la now with the auxiliary mil itary police at the North Amer ican Aviation plant. Mack is so busy guarding the place that produces Blllie Mit chell bombers and Mustangs that he hasn't had time to engage In any sports activities In the Los Angeles district. But he has been watching box ers and wrestlers train at the Main street gymnasium, Los An geles, and he has watched the lads perform in Hollywood stad ium. Mack has been so busy he hasn't had time to go to many matches, but he gets Just as big a kick out of watching the boys work out. Lillard said all the defense plants are active In promoting boxing and wrestling amateur competition. North American entrants were outstanding in a recent seven-weeks tournament held among the defense plants. The contests, Mack said, are usually held during lunch per- Lefty George Pitches Ball For All Star Br ED CREAGH YORK, Pa., Aug. 6 OP) Twelve years ago jwhen Jack Bentley, the former New York Giants star, handed Lefty George the well-known pink slip, he signed: "I feel sorry my old friend Tom can't stand the pace this year." Thomas Edward George, the southpaw pitcher who rose from the Pittsburgh sandlots to the major leagues and then drifted back to New York of the old New York-Pennsylvania league, was "washed up" after 27 years ol baseball. So Bentley thought. Next Monday night, barring all accident. Lefty George 57 and a grandfather will be the starting pitcher for the "west" team in the class B Interstate league's all-star game at Wil mington, Del. With no more steam than a punctured boiler, with a "float er" that crosses the plate as a home town wag put it "on a wing and a prayer," the six-foot beer salesman has won six games and lost four this season for a successor of the York club that released him.

Reds Batter Cubs; Take Bums' Spot Walters' Pitching Shows Chicago 4 to 1 Trimming; Dodgers Slip on Ladder Br TED MEIER Associated Press Sports Writer The Cincinnati Reds, who have been blowing hot and cold all season, apparently are gen erating a full head of steam that may blow Pittsburgh out of second place in the National league and possibly prove very annoying to the first-place St. Louis Cardinals. Behind a masterful six-hit pitching performance by Bucky Walters the Reds yesterday beat the Chicago Cubs, 4 to 1, and dropped the crumbling Brook lyn Dodgers from third to fourth. The Reds took over the third place position, only 2tt games behind the second-place Pirates. In chalking up his 101st vic tory for the Reds since he was sold to them by the Phillies in 1938, Walters pitched in the fashion that won him 27 games in 1939 and 22 in 1940. He gave up a run in the first Inning on Phil Cavarretta's double and Bill Nicholson's single, then got tougher and tougher. Ed Stanky doubled for the Cubs in the third and Harry Lowery tripled in the fourth. Both were stranded. After that Walters permitted only three runners to reach first one on a base on balls and two singles. It was the seventh win against 11 defeats for Bucky. Aided by five Cub mlsplays the Reds, meantime, nicked u Bithorn for two runs in the third and single tallies in the fourth and fifth. one, according to the record book, was George Seward, who was cleaning up 99 years ago . . . He is credited with racing 100 yards in OK seconds, "on a turnpike road" in England, Sep tember 30, 1844 . . . That is even before the time of Mike Ryan of Idaho or Col. Bill Hay ward of Oregon . . . Could the Englishman have been holding on to the tall of a horse? . . . The Finns, Swedes and other long distance specialists of to day should take their, hats off to George Littlwood who, in New York, from November 22 to December 1, 1888, ran and walked 632 miles in 141 hours, 57 minutes and 30 sec onds. He passed the 600-mile mark in 135 hours ... In Shef field, England, Littlewood walk ed from March 8 to March 11, 1882 to establish all records from. 200 to 531 miles, 135 yards . . . Mr. Littlewood was born 48 years too early ... He would have been a wow In the Pyle transcontinental bunion derby.

King Refuses to Give Mussolini to Hitler MADRID. Aug. 8 (IP) King Vittorio Emanuele of Italy po litely but firmly turned down a request by Adolf Hitler that Benito Mussolini be handed over to the Germans for safekeeping following his fall from power, it was reported here today. The king's refusal was given to Reichsmarshal Hermann Goe ring, who was sent to Rome by Hitler last week to find out why Mussolini was deposed, travelers from the Italian capital said. Goering was reported to have told the king that Hitler feared Mussolini's life was in danger as long as he remained in Italy. FINAL FOXHOLE VENICE, Calif., IP) Tommy Dean Brink, 8, and John A.

The ti.lrd. place Rainiers have won 11 of their last 12 starts, while see ond ranking San Francisco made it eight straight yester day in edging the San Diego Padres, 3 to 1. A margin of 18 games separates the two team. Seattle wasted no time in winning its third straight from Hollywood, 3 to 2. It scored all three runs in the first inning, aided by Lloyd Christopher' circuit smash with one on base. Carl Fischer kept the Stars in hand, doling out seven hits. Southpaw Al Lien blanked San Diego for eight innings as San Francisco made it threa in a row over the Padres. He lost a shutout by issuing a pass to Pinchhitter Maury Abbott in the ninth and then giving up two singles. Lien wound up, however, with a neat five-hitter to his credit. Ralph Buxton, Oakland pitch er, played his final game for the duration, and like Fellow Drafteen Wayne Osborne of Portland the day before, lost his farewell appearance. The Beavers won their first game Itv the current series with Oakland by a score of 7 to 1 behind tha steady arm of Sid Cohen who) allowed only six hits.
