Gals Start National Am Charlotte, N.C U.R) The glamor gals of golf tee off with no preliminaries today in the 55th Women's National Amateur tournament and the sizzling set of opening matches could mean sudden death for more than one favorite. Without a qualifying test and taking pot luck in a blind draw, three former champions found themselves under pressure from the first tee. Two others can sit it out for this day only with byes. A field of 104 began the first matches over the Myers Park Country club course, a roller coaster test with narrow fair ways that would put a premium on staying on the track. Eighteen hole matches were played today, another 18 are set Tuesday; the field will be cut to the quarter-finals with two rounds on Wednesday, the semi finals will be played at 18 holes Friday and the finals over 36 holes on Saturday. to save you trot n i - Monday, August 22, 1955 Lou Donelan Grabs Main Auto Race Lou Donelan took the lead from Bob Jenkins on the final turn Saturday night to cop the main event in hardtop auto races at the Jackson County speed way. It was a close finish for the front four cars. Neil Woolridge was third and Cecil James was fourth only about three car lengths behind Donelan. Semi-main honors were tak en by Crock Hunter with Rusty Phillips second and J. C. Skaggs third. James won the A trophy dash and his points along with those in the main enabled him to surge into second place in the track standings. White Dage was sec ond in the dash and Donelan third. Donelan had fast time in the trials with 20:23 seconds. Elmer Sisemore claimed the B trophy and Harvey Trefry was second. Jenkins took the first heat of the night, followed by Hunter. Sisemore and Dage were one two in the second heat. Monte Hall picked up points to go into the track lead Saturday. He won the third heat and Cliff McGilvery was next. Mel Harp er was victor in the fourth heat. Donelan placed second. The track program suffered a delay when it came time to turn on lights, it was found that 17 bulbs were out, apparently shot out by youngsters. Time was required after that to rustle up some light globes. But the races were over by 11 p.m.' even with the delay. Ted Sletten rolled over the rail and an embankment for the only big spill of the night. He was back for later racing. Jen kins car froze on him after he crossed the finish in the main and caused a pile up. Hall now has 180 counters and James is right behind with 179. Other highs are Donelan 170, Wayne Lemley (previous leader), 163, Roy Deutschman and Dage each 147, Woolridge 143. Lou Kurz 134, Bud Hurt 128, Jenkins 121, Sisemore 94 and Bob Wilcox 84.
