one appeal to Commissioner
happy Chandler to stop the
"kianaping" of young players
by major league scouts, now is
urging every high school and
college coacn to write the com
missioner. . . That would snow
unanimity, but it is doubttul
whether it would do much good
otherwise. . . The high school
boys probably will be sale once
the older players come back
from the war and its up to the
college coaches to show that
they can give a boy a real base
ball education while he's get
ting some book-learning too. . .

HOT SMOKES
Home runs really are worth
while at Ebbets new these
days. . . . Every time Sports
caster Red Barber sees the ball
eoine over the fence, he tosses
i carton of those cigarettes he
advertises down the grandstand
wire and when the hitter
crosses the plate, the mascot
mitys him with the carton. . . .
That's one way to get cigarettes
and also one way to get away
with throwing things at those
ferocious gentlemen.

Wagner Will
Meet Achiu
In Mai Tiff
Walter "Sneeze" Achlu, the
"Chinese sleeper" artist, will re
turn once again to the Klamath
mat wars Friday night when he
tangles with Gorgeous George
Wagner in the semi-windup scuf
fle. Wagner has been using very
questionable tactics of late in
his tussles here and Klamath
railbirds will in all probability
get another glimpse of. the dan
gerous "sleeper" hold Friday
night. Achiu is loath to use the
hold unless forced to it but there
is little doubt that George will
give him sufficient cause for ac
tion. Following this tiff, Otis
"Baby-face" Klingman will take
on Antone Leone in the feature
attraction. Leone had had con
siderable success here with his
rough methods of rassling, but
Klingman proved that he has
what it takes when he downed
Wagner last week.
Promoter Mack Lillard has
signed Kenny Ackles for the
opener and his opponent will be
announced tomorrow.

Women's
Golf Open
Underway
By JIM MITCHELL
INDIANAPOLIS, June 19 VP)
With two precedents already
broken, the lbth annual Women s
Western Open golf tournament
today moved into the first of
five days of match play leading
to the crowning ot a champion
on Saturday.
By the boards, as a result of
yesterday's 12-hour qualifying
session, was the tradition that
the western never produces co-
medalists. Mrs. Mildred (Babe)
Didrickson Zaharias, the defend
ine champion and 1944 medal
winner, and Louise Suggs of
Atlanta took care of that by fir
ing twin 75's one under par
as the sixth twosome to tackle
water-soaked Highland Uolf and
Country club course.
Also in the discard was the
western's reputation for produc
ing upsets in the qualifying
round, virtually all of tne out
standing favorites were num
bered among the select 32 who
fired the 91 or better necessary
to enter today's initial round of
match play.
Mrs. Zaharias was out to beat
the odds against the defending
champion as she teed off against
Elizabeth Dunn of Indianapolis
this morning. The only defend
ing champion ever to retain the
crown was Mrs. Opal Hill, who
won in 1935 and 1936. Miss
Dunn, five times champion of
Indiana, qualified with an 85.
The lower bracket matches
showed: Polly Ann Riley (84),
Ft. Worth, Tex., vs. Ann Lewis
(90), Bloomington, 111.; Babe
treese (84) fortiana. ore., vs.
Mrs. Bettye White (90), Dallas,
Tex.
