A’s' Bow Twice to Giants

‘McPhail Now Faces Problem

Of Signing First-Sacker To a Contract.

GLEARWATER, Fla., March 7 (U. P.) —Purchase of Dolph Camilli by the Dodgers set off a flock of trade rutiors today. The most persistent called for a deal sending First Baseman Buddy Hassett from the Dodgers to the Giants in return for Catcher Gus Mancuso and cash. Such a trade would give both clubs strength where it is needed most and also would help the Dodgers pay Philadelphia for Camilli, who was quite an expensive item, but not ‘so costly as the announced price of $75,000 might seem. ‘Although it was .an outright purchase with no other players involvéd, most observers felt that it tiéd in with the outright sale of elder Eddie Morgan by the Dodgers | to the Phils for an announced ‘sum of $30,000 last Friday. Morgan, who came from Louisville to the Dodgers last year and hit .188 in. 31 games, definitely is not a $30,000 piece of merchandise. Subtract this, amount from the Camilli purchase price, and it leaves the Dodgersparting with $45,000 and Morgan for-a fence-busting- iirst baseman. It-was the first big deal put over by Rally McPhail since he became business manager of the Dodgers, but he still faces the problem of signing Camilli to a contract. Dolph was holding out for $17,500, a $6000 increase over his 1937 salary, when President Gerry Nugent of the Phil-

- lies decided to sell. Dolph was in

the woods near his Laytonville, Cal., heme today and could not be; reached for a statement.

Best Season in 1937

Tast year Camilli had his best season since breaking into organized baseball 14 years ago. Playing in 131 ‘games, he batted .339. He finished third behind Joe Medwick and Mel Ott in the home run race with a total of 27. A pull-hitter, Dolph found the short right field in Eb-

"bets Field particularly well suited

to>his style and hit 440 in games there. : At bat 25 times, he got 11 hits=~two home runs, three doubles and six singles.

Japanese May Drop Olympics, Is Hint

TOKYO, March 7 (U. P.).—The possibility that Japan may withdraw as host for the next Olympic Games, scheduled to be held in Tokyo in 1940, was reflected toda in utterances before Parliament War Minister Gen. Sugiyama and Home Minister Admiral Nobumasa Suetsugu. During committee consideration of the national mobilization bill, Ichiro Kono, Seiyakai party member of the lower house, asked what the prospects were for holding the Olympic Games in view of the conflict with China. “If the present hostilities end the games can be held,” Gen. Sugiyama replied. He indicated the games should be abahdoned if the war continued as late as 1940.

By JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer

NEW YORK, March 7—Suppose you were just leaving the .Junior League Club after a stimulating spot of lobster har gow and some poor wretch came up to you and in a pleading voice said: ‘“Mister can you name me the greatest punchers in the history of

{the prize ring from .the flyweights

to the heavyweights?” What would you tell the man? Come, come now, no stalling! See, you must be prepared for any sort of social emergency. This is. one of .the first things Emily Post teaches you. Dale Carnegie unhesitatingly backs her up. “It's the sure fire way to win friends and influence people,” says the genius of inspired’ twaddle. I felt I never wanted to be caught in any such emergency so I set out in the company of Mons. Lestaire Bromberg, who once gave John L. Sullivan a rather sound whacking at bare knuckles in a bout held in the strictest privacy back in the 97s.

Dempsey Named Among Best Punchers; Louis Fails to Get Vote In Joe’s Survey

And it would be hard to start a World War about the right of any of the fighters to their positions on the all-time hitting team. Indeed, the vote doesn’t become interesting until you study the details. Some of the voters named the same fighter in different classes. Fitzsimmons for example, was named in the middle, the light heavy end the heavyweight division. He polled an aggregate vote of 16. Langford, named in both the light heavy and , the heavyweight divisions, polled a total of 14%. Incidentally, the first five in the heavyweight division were: Dempsey, 12% votes, Langford 7, Peter Maher 3,"Jim Jeffries 2%, and John L. ‘Sullivan 135. Fitzsimmons drew only one vote. But this was

make up their minds where to put him. Old dead Pan Luis Firpo drew one vote himself. Dempsey cast it. .'« « “I ought to know whether that guy could hit, don’t you think?” asked the ex-champion.

Joe Has Great Future

The notion of taking a poll on all-time hitters was primarily in-

critical acclaim his punching has won. A great number of critics seem to think he is one of the fastest and hardest hitters that ever drew on a pair of lethal mittens. And yet the Brown Bomber doesn’t get a tumble in this symposium. Not. one of the authorities. name him.

Tom S. Andrews, the Milwaukee historian, admitted “Louis has a great future.” That's as close to a tribute as he got. -

Toward Kentucky Derby - And Preakness.

SANTA ANITA, Cal, March | (U. P)—The Kentucky Derby, the Preakness and the Withers Stake are next in line for Stagehand, the storybook hotse which grand-slammed the two richest

{races in the west—Santa Anita's

$50,000 Derby and $100,000 handicap. These goals were marked out today as the gangling colt’s famed trainer, Earl Sande, looked ahead to the all-time money mark established by Sun Beau a decade ago Sun Beau won $376,744. Stagehand,

‘| who never won a ‘race until two .| months ago, has amassed $137,110,

and the golden trail of the East is ahead of him. Some horsemen today spoke of Stagehand in revered tones, praising him as the greatest prospect in history. Stagehand not only won the handicap, but he did it the hard way and upset all the traditions. He outgamed the mighty Seabiscuit, handicap champion of 1937, in a nose-to-nose stretch drive. It wasn’t ‘that Seabiscuit ran a bad race: Seabiscuit clearly outclassed Pompoon, Aneroid and the other 15 contenders. It, was simply that the: 18th horse—Stage-hand--was better. The colt broke a 4-year-old track record the very first time he attempted the mile and a quarter route,

MIAMI, Fla., March 7 (U.

Riddle said the colt would rest before being sent to Belmont Park to start an Eastern campaign that may lead him to all-time moneywinning honors. That title is held by. the Kilmer Stable’s Sun Beau with a gross of $376,744.
