Babe Begins Battle For Golf Crown LAKE FOREST. 111., Aug. 20 (JP) Babe Didrikson Zaharias today began a battle for her most elusive title in more than a decade of sweeping athletic ... conquests an amateur golf crown. It was the 31-year-old Babe against a 134-player field in the 45th annual women's western amateur tournament a six-day affair at Knollwood club. Sturdy Dorothy Germain of Philadelphia defended her title for the second straight year as the major feminine simon-pure event of the season got under way with an 18-hole qualifying round. But all eyes were on Mrs. Zaharias. Babe, just last week named the greatest woman athlete of all time in an Esquire magazine poll of sports writers, was mak ing her first amateur start since she entered golf competition in 1935. She tried to enter amateur golf ranks 10 years ago, but was branded a professional by the U. S. golf association be cause of her activities in other sports and was not reinstated until last year. Scrappine for 32 major plav berths in today's qualifying round were most of the coun try's top amateurs. Besides Miss Germain, Babe and Miss Otto, the field included: Sally Sessions of Muskegon, Mich., 1944. medalist with a sparkling 74; Jean Hopkins of Cleveland, who pushed Mrs. Za harias to two extra holes in the Western Open; Carol (Babe) Freese of Portland,' Ore., Betty Jean Rucker, S p o k a ne; Polly Kuey, fort worth, Tex.; and Dorothy Kielty, Los Angeles.

Aug. 20, 1945 r A tour-run spree in me lounn was the lesult of an error on Ferron, Santa Barbara short stop, singles by Morrisey and Czyzewski and West's circuit blow over the right field wall. Five more runs in the seventh frame put the game on ice. Sunday's tilt was a different matter. Chapin got off to a slnky start and had some cc cei trie fielding behind him as the aviation marines scored four times in the first two innings. Chapin Finds Stride But as the game progressed Chapin found his stride, allow ing only two bingles in the last seven frames. The marines tal lied once in the sixth on Bran ham's double and Czyzewski's single, then knotted the count with a three-run splurge in the seventh. With one out Busch and Sljmak singled, Myers' forced Slimak at second and Mankow ski dropped Bradt's fly to left to allow Busch to score. Then, with Myers and Bradt aboard, Jock let Branham's single into right get through him and two more runs came across. That's how the matter stood when Myers came to bat with two down in the last half of the ninth. He fouled off two pitches and then parked one over the left field wall to break up the game. Walt Coppins, lefthander who is property of the Chicago White Sox, hurled a good game for the visitors but the defensive work behind him was erratic. Chapin, after his bad start, got down to business and fanned twelve for his eleventh win of the season First game: R. H. E. Santa Barbara 4 8 4 Marines 12 11 2 Second game: R. H. E.

The picture changed abrupt ly over the weekend. Port land's Beavers suddenly saw their apparently safe lead molt to four and a half games. The loss of two full tilts from tho Beavers' margin was the re sult of their double defeat Sunday at the hands of the Oakland Acorns, both by 4-2 scores, while the runner-up Seattle Rainicrs were trounc Cubs Sweep Double Bill From Giants Bruins Increase League Lead To 7Vi Games; Tigers Retain Margin Over Nats By JOE REICHLER Associated Press Sports Writer Hank Borowy had the person al satisfaction today of having proved in New York that the "short gaiter" tag hung upon him was entirely unjustified. In blanking the Giants yester day, Borowy pitched his first National league shutout and his fifth complete game in a Chica go Cubs uniform. The former Yankee ace. whom Larry Mac- Phail had sold "because of his inability to go the distance in the second half of the season," thus demonstrated that if he did have that fault, he has overcome it. Cubs Increase Lead Fordham Hank's 8-0 conquest of the Giants in the nightcap be fore 41,457 at the polo grounds earned the Cubs a double vic tory as Lefty Ray Prim out dueled Harry Feldman, 3-1 in the opener. The first game was decided , in the ninth inning when Peanuts Lowrey singled in the tie-breaking run with the bases loaded. The twin-triumph increased the Cubs' first-place margin to 7i over the St. Louis Cardinals. The Cards divided their dou bleheader with Boston, losing the opener 2-1 in a tight pitch ing duel between Bill Lee of the Braves and their own Harry Brecheen, but winning the sec ond in the 13th when Marty Marion doubled in two mates for a 5-4 decision. Tigers Hold Margin Detroit retained its game and a half margin over Washington's Senators in their battle for first place when both squads divided bargain bills. Each won their first contests, as Dizzy Trout pitched the Bengals to a 0-1 tri umph over the Philadelphia Athletics and Johnny Niggeling did likewise for the Senators with a 7-1 drubbing of the Cleve land Indians. The A's, with Russ Christo pher gaining his first triumph after seven straight defeats, won the nightcap 8-3 in 11 innings. A nine-run outburst in the seventh gave the Indians a 9-3 decision over the Nats in the finale. The Philadelphia Phillies not only surprised by winning two from the Cincinnati Reds 5-0 and 4-2, but as an added attraction. Jimmy Foxx, the old Philadel phia and Boston slugger of American league fame, made his first big league pitching start and won it although he did not go the route. Keller Back Charlie Keller made his first appearance in a Yankee uniform since 1943 as the New Yorkers split with the Chicago White Sox. Ernie B o n h a m got the Yankees off on the right foot with a 4-2 win but Orval Grove of the Sox blanked them with five hits to register a 2-0 victory. Brooklyn and Pittsburgh split.

The Oaks' twin killing yesterday gave them a 4-4 series split and overcame an edge built up by Portland's 11-2 win Sat urday. Sacramento's Solons firmed their hold on third by beating the Hollywood Stars six out of seven, losing their only con test of the week in Sunday's opener 7-4. Guy Fletcher reg Junior Baseball Season Completed Word was received Saturday that the American Legion Junior baseball game scheduled for August 26 between Eugene und a selected Klamath Falls club has been necessarily cancelled, John Warren notified us that the season at Eugene is officially over and that it would be impossible to assemble a representative squad for the game on August 26, This is bad news for the boys here who ex pected to play in this tussle, but thnt Is the way tilings stand and apparently nothing can be done about it. We do feel, however, that American Legion baseball has finally become a recognized sports program again in Klamath Falls despite adverse weather and a few equally opposed factions and private individuals. The groundwork has been satisfactorily laid for a much more extensive program next year, which will see more boys participating and active cooperation from spon sors. , We think this as good a place as any to express our sincere appreciation to Vernon Bronke, John Argetslngcr and Bill Albcc for their outstanding work in the coaching department. Lynn Roycroft should also be commended for his splendid organiza tional efforts. Under the coaching of the three above mentioned men, the youngsters showed immense improvement at the end of tho some what sketchy schedule and we feel confident that the Klamath Falls club would have given Eugene a very Interesting afternoon. About 60 boys participated in the program this season and no few of these displayed definite promise as ball players. We plan to start practice next year just before school convenes for the summer and there is absolutely no reason why Klamath Falls shouldn't go far In the state tournament. Certainly we have as many good ball players here as there are in Salem or other towns of similar size. Three teams formed the league this neason composed of Mills, Conger and Del Moro. Some swell ball games were played by these kids at Del Moro field and many more will be played next year when we will endeavor to have at least six clubs In the league. We take this means of assuring you boys who may be wonder ing about next year, that everything possible will be done to pro vide you with a suitable ball park, equipment and a fast com petitive schedule. ' The main thing is to keep this in mind, talk it up all you can, and be ready to go next year when the call Is issued for candidates. In that manner the program will be more strongly represented and more definite assistance may be sought and received. We appreciate the loyalty you boys, have shown this season, without which the project would have in all probability reached an impasse or stalemate due to lack of Interest evident in a few high sources. , Interest was shown, and plenty of It, and enthusiasm Is infec tious and impossible to ignore, even by those who adopt the at titude of ostriches by sticking their heads in the lackadaisical sands of oblivion. So we'll be ready to go right along with you next year and in the meantime preparations are underway for a picnic or out ing of some kind for you kids who so richly deserve it. Keep on plugging, we won't let you down. TENNIS BROOKLINE, Mass. Pauline Betz, Los Angeles, won Long wood women's tennis final with a 6-4, 8-6 victory over Margaret Osborne, San Francisco. J.
