Tex. r oiled safely through the quarter-final round of the current women's amateur meet Thursday at Sunset Ridge and continued to head toward a possible meeting in Saturday's fi nals. Mrs. Mann, 1941 amateur win ner, defeated Mrs. Harold Sims of St. Paul, Minn., with virtually no trouble at alL 4 and 2. But Miss Jameson, 1942 western open victor, had a real time of it in beating off Dorothy Kirby of At lanta, Ga., 2 and 1. In order to qualify for the championship round two days hence, Mrs. Mann Friday must stop the girl she defeated for this title last year, Mary Arnes Wall of Menominee, Mich. Miss Jameson's semi-final round fore will be Dorothy Ellis of Indian apolis, the Indiana state cham pion.

The story of the two tilts was simply too much Abbott for Salem's George Babich and Paul Soderborg, respective pitchers. He connected for a home ran In each game, one double and three singles, driving in a total of seven runs, four of them in the close seven-inning first game. The homers were No's. 12 and 13 for Abbott, to put him farther ahead as the league's .home run leader. He drove in two runners ahead of him with a third inning wallop in the first game to change any ideas Babich had of winning his ninth game of the season, and one was on base when his big Bertha drive came in the fifth frame of the ninth-inning night cap off Soderburg. For Salem, Outfielder Sam Taormina and Firstsacker Jack Richards lashed out circuit wal lops in the first game, both coming with nobody on base. Those were the big blows off Fred Bradley. Alf Cailteaux' double drove in two Salem tal lies. The Senators had their big chance in the sixth heat of the opener, filling the bases with only one out But Manacrer Pharlio Petersen rapped into the second Tiger double play of the game to nullify the rally. Soderburg was touched for a total of 18 blows In the second game, five runs on six of the base-knocks starting the Tigers off on the rout in the third in ning.

The Associated Press score card gave Montgomery seven rounds, called two even and voted just one for Ruffin. In the Zivie-Young go, as far as it went Fritsie was way out In front Of the six completed rounds, the Pittsburgher won five. Young's only edge came in the third, when he scored with lefts to the mid-section and a couple of short rights to the face. In another ten-rounder in the "triple-header' card, Cleo Shans, 131,- Los Angeles negro, was awarded a decision over charging Maxie Shapiro, 132 pound local belter, after a sizzling slugging duel.
