With Press
BEAUMONT, Tex. W) Babe
Didrikson Zaharias was being pre
pared for an operation Monday as
the sports world wondered If the
greatest woman athlete ever again
would trek golf courses In cham
pionship play.
A malignant condition that calls
for major surgery knocked her out
.of the woman's golf tour and some
time this week she is due to under
go the fateful operation.
George Zaharias, husband of the
Babe, left Sunday for Denver. It
was announced only as a two - day
"Business trip out Ziaharlas was
said to be seeking a specialist,
Mrs. Zaharias was told Saturday
by specialists who had given her
a three - day examination that
she had a malignancy of the lower
rectum, that they thougvt they
could correct the condition but
"whether it will return la some
thing else again." They would not
speculate on. whether she would
be able to may golf again.
But the Babe, who as a teen -age
girl rocketed to fame in the
Olympic games, then became the
greatest woman golfer, took it In
tyrical stride. She was cheerful,
wLecraoi.ed with sports writers
and said she would be back In
athletics.

Klamath
Nipped
By Frosh
The Pelicans lost a close 8-8
baseball decision to the University
of Oregon Frosh Saturday at Eu
gene when a disputed decision in
the sixth Inning went against the
Kiamatn nine ana nipped iour
run rally.
Ing Montgomery had knocked In
two runs with a single and Clay
Hannon did the same. Two men
were still on base and two were
out when Ron Owing was tagged
off first on a hidden-ball play.
Pelican Coach John McOtnnls
claimed it was a balk and should
have scored the man from third
to tie the count and the Klamath
mentor had many supporters for
his claim. But the decision stuck
and the Pels couldn't push across
a run in the seventh.
Don Dexter got three hits in
four trips to lead the Pels: George
Hanson had two for four and Louie
Taucher two for three.
The Pels go to Grants Pass Fri
day for a two-game brush with
the Cavemen in league games.
