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.

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

BEVOS DROP TWO
By PAUL WELLS
Aiioclattd Preat Sports Writer
It's still a race for first
place in the Pacific const
league.
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

Sunday at the hands of the
Oakland Acorns, both by 4-2
scores, while the runner-up

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.
Les Webber pitched the Dodgers
to a 6-2 win in the opener, while

For Senttlo It was a clean
weekend sweep, tho Hiilnlers
having won Saturday 7-B to
salvage the series 4-3. 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.
