(UP) sparkling Barbara Romack. a per fectionist who thrives on pressure. appears to be the girl to beat lor the 65th annual National wo men's Amateur golf championship. The 23-year-old blonde from Sac ramento, Calii., says she's "thor , oughly prepared" to meet the field ' of 112 of some ol the world's top feminine golfers. The match-play tournament gets underway Mon day, with the 36-hole final set for Saturday. Mits Romack, as serious about her practice as about tournament nlay. practically has lived on the Rolling Myers Park Country Club course during the past week. She admits to "a month of hard prac tice" before that. NARROW FAIRWAYS 'Being defending champion sort of puts me in everybody's gun sights," she said. "But I'm pre pared 'to face them." The 6413-yard course, with its narrow fairways, seems suited for Barbara's long straight game. Her week-long practice also has fam iliarized her with the carefully trapped Bermuda greens which could prove troublesome to con testants used to the more common bent grass greens. A strong contender for Barbara s crown, Dorothy Kirby of Atlanta, thinks it may be hard to beat the pretty champion on this course. "Barbara has fine control and is mighty accurate," she said. "Prom what I saw of the course, that kind of game may pay off here." HELD IS TOP-XOTCH However, It could pay oft for Miss Kirby also. She won the title on a course similar to this at Bt. Paul, Minn., in 1951. The four-time U. S. Curtis team member figures whoever wins will deserve it. "The field certainly is a fine one." she said. "I think every hndv in women's golf is here. Heading the contestants from the United, States, canaoa, v.i,.n' onrt Hawaii are three for mer titleholders in addition to Miss Kirby; Mrs. Mark Porter of Phil- adelphia, Grace i-enciy.. ington. Conn., and Mrs. Estellt T.nwson Pace of Chapel Hill, N.C However, the new tltleholder could come from a host of young .i,r led bv former national girls' junior champions Pat Lesser , of Seattle, ana smith of St. Clair, Mich. Also en tered is the current national collegi ate women's champion, Jacqueline Yates of Honolulu. US Likes Bullfights SAN FRANCISCO (UP) The sport of bull-fighting, the bloodless Portuguese style, made a decided bit in Its first U. S. presentation. And in the opinion of impres sarlo Jes Cortes of Manila, it has reached this country to stay. , "It Is going to take some time to make the fans Interested enough to come back time and again," said Cortes. "It is obvious that most of those present so far nev er before have seen a bull fight. "But there was a tremendous amount of enthusiasm in the crowd and I predict that this type of sport will become a major spectacle in this country." The first couple of nights, the show attracted about 8000 for each program. However. Cortes ex pects a sell-out of the 13.000 seats in the Cow Palace for the week end. "The time may come," he said. . "when American youth may take up the Eport of bull lighting Just as today they try to become an other Babe Ruth or Red Orange." UNCERTAIN It was evident here that most of the fans didn't know exactly what they were cheering for. Mostly, the major excitement in the stands came when the bull would get one of the matadors down and attempt to gore him. There was only polite applause for the fine performance of Ma nolo Navarro, the Spanish mata dor who is considered one of the greatest artists in the worid. Na varro got a big hand when his simulated kill of the bull was com pleted but very little before that. In fact, the man who stole the show was the so-called clown. named Indio Apache, a bouncing athlete from Portugal. He fought the bull iwithout a cape, jumping over Its back when it attacked him and then wrestling it to the ground in bare-handed combat. The crowd seemed to love this more possibly because it had seen something of this type of per formance in U. S. rodeos. The average fan was impressed with the sport, but wasn't sure if he could become an "aflcianado." ENJOYED "f certainly enjoyed the show." one said, "but I'm not sure I'd want to return to another one right away. It would be like seeing the same movie twice." Actually, this statement Isn't true no more than going to the baseball game three nights in a row would prove monotonous. Some of the fans were bored when the bulls failed to show an inclination to fight. In tact, once during a great silence when noth ing was happening in the bull ring, one customer shouted: 'Bring e Bobo Olson I" But Cortes is very optimistic about the future. After the show leaves here it goes to Los Ange les where the big Mexican popu lation is expected to help swell the attendance. After that he'll try his luck in the East at Chicago. Detroit and New York, where they rot only don't have bull fighting, but have very little In the way of rodeos outside of Mtdison Square oaraen. TIME OUT EE "Too bad he cn't ifford skii for all his family . . . they like the sport so much!" Kabler Grabs irl's Crown, VZ7 Eyes National FLORENCE. B.C.

(Pi The Chicago Cardinals downed their crosstown rivals, the Bears, 21-6 In an exhibition game Jiere Satur day night in the Gator Bowl. An estimated 24.000 persons saw the Cardinals strike three times under the impetus of long runs by Ollle Matson and Dave Mann and the passing of LaMar McHan. The Cardinal touchdowns topped oft sustained drives of 77, 72 and 97 yards. The Bears made all their points on two field goals kicked by George Blanda, former Ken tucky player, in the first half. Pat Summerail, a Lake City, Fla., player who performed during his college days at Arkansas, kicked three straight extra points for the cardinals. Swaps Winner In Derby " CHICAGO If! - 8ensational Swaps, leading all the way but never by more than 2't lengths, Saturday spurted to a one length victory over the fast-closing Traf flo Judge to win the 1149,425 Amer ican Derby. Rex. C. Ellsworth's chestnut colt making his debut on the grass course, covered the mile and three sixteenths in a record-matching time of 1:54 9. It equalled the American turf mark recently set by Platan in the Arlington Handi cap. But possibly such a time would not have been accomplished bad not jockey Willie Shoemaker, com ing nonchalantly up to the one sixteenth pole, glanced over his shoulder and seen Traffic Judge bearing down upon him. Shoemaker then went to the whip and Swaps responded to score his eighth successive triumph as a 3-year-old. , Traffic Judge, owned by Clifford Mooers and ridden by a substitute jockey, Peter Anderson, ran the same race as he did against Nash ua in the Arlington Classic. In that race last month, Traffic Judge, In a great stretch drive, nearly caught Nashua and failed by only one-half a length. Swaps' triumph set up his $100, 000 winner-take-all match race at Washington Park on Aug. 31 against Nashua, whose only defeat was by the Khaled-Iron Reward colt in the Kentucky Derby. Swaps paid $2.40 and $2.20 to those who backed him in a crowd of 25.178 as a l-to-5 choice on the board. Traffic Judge returned $3.20 to place. There was no show betting and there was a minus place pool of $1,033. The victory swelled Swaps' win nings by $80,600, giving him a total of $418,550 as a sophomore and $439,500 in two years of campaign ing. His two-year record now stands at 11 victories and two snows In 14 starts. Theaters Get Bout NEW YORK (UP) Nalhan L.

UCLA Picked As Tops For Coming Grid Year Bv GAYLE TALBOT NEW YORK 'jfl Almost anyone, we always say, can pick an All America football team after the season ends. The point has been reached, in fact, when almost ev eryone who owns or can borrow a typewriter and who possesses an old raccoon coat does take a stab at this popular fall pastime. But the man we admire is the one who can haul off when the weather still is in the high 90s and tell us in advance, before a single pigskin has been booted into the ozone just who will be the 11 best college player3 In the land the coming season. Not only that, but the 20 best teams, too, in the pre cise order of their excellence. Such a man Is Stanley Wood ward, known to his intimates as "Coach," whose annual publica tion "Football" just has reached this do.sk. If there is anyone who would like to get away from base ball for a few minutes we will be glad tc fill him in on next autumn. Let us start with something of a surprise. Know where Notre Dame wiil rank among the nation's be hemoths when the last whistle has been tooted? The "Coach" says the Irish will stand 7th, -which would be strange territory, indeed, for them. We knew that Terry Brennan was losing some horses but didn't quite realize the full ex tent of his plight. Fere's how Wood takes them: In order, UCLA, Michigan.

Giants Trip Frisco Team By JACK HEWINS SEATTLE tfl The New York Giants punched out a 28 to 17 foot ball victory over the San Francisco 49ers Saturday in an exhibition game played before a sun drenched crowd of 49.000. The passing of quarterback Don Hcinrich and the running of chunky Bobby Epps carried the Giants to scores in every quarter while the 49ers were blanked through the second half. It was a great homecoming for Hcinrich, who played his way to All-America rating in this same University of Washington Stadium in 1950 and 1952. Hugh McElhenny of the 49er backflcld, a teammate of Helnrlch In college, was unable to play be cause of an Injured ankle. The Olants trailed only once vhen Gordy Soltau booted a field goal and Y. A.

If you were to pick the half dozen best feminine amateur golf ers in the nation, five of them would be from the tall timber country of the Pacltlc Northwest.

New York City today faced the alarming possibili ty ot becoming a "ghost" baseball town housing Just on major leaeua team. The Brooklyn Dodgers have threatened to move and Brooks' President Walter O'Malley predict ed that If his club pulls out the New York Oitiits will, too. O'Mal ley pointed out that the Dodgers have drawn 350.000 spectators, to the Polo Grounds in 11 games thts year while the six other National League clubs have attracted 390, 000 fans In 48 games. "If one team goes, the other will go," said O'Malley. "It's unlikely that one team or the other would move." O'Malley tossed a bombshell into the baseball world earlier in the week when he announced the Dodgers would play seven home games in Jersey City next year. He followed that with a threat to pull out of Brooklyn If a sultakle site is not found for a new park, With this in mind, city officials, headed by Mayor Robert Wagner, year. Patty Lesser, 21, has picked olf the Women's Western Amateur crown and Jo Anne Ounderson, 16, is Women's Western Junior queen and the tourney season is far from over. Patty is the oldest and Jo Anne the youngest of the Northwest's Fearsome Feminine Fivesome. Another Seattle girl, Ruth Jessen, is 18 and Ann Quast of Marysvllle lust turned 18 Thursday Carole Jo Kabler of Roseburg, Ore., Is 17, Another Oregon youngster, 18-year old Sue Devoe ot Medford, Is not far oft the pace set by the other rive. POLISHED If you tried to rate them you'd have to put Patty at the too. Tourney experience has polished her game and no woman amateur In the country can match her Iron play. The others are about equal :n sonny. Jo Anne and Ruthie are the heavy hitters, slamming their tee shots consistently for 240 yards. Jo Anne may outhlt the blonde Miss Jessen by a yard or so, Annie Quast her father Is a former university of Washington oar man, Tom Quast is perhaps the finest putter. Carole Jo's chief as set is a supreme confidence that tits snugly with her well rounded game Ruthie. Jessen probably has the greatest potential a natural game that .needs only steady play 10 snarpen ana periect it. And Ruthie probably Is the only one who may eventually turn profes sional. Ruthie will join Patty this fall as a student at Seattle Univer sity. Anne Quast is transferring from Stanford to her father's alma mater. And the gals are good ambassa dors from the home country when they're on the tourney trail. "Pat ty Lesser is the most popular girl golfer In the nation," says Mrs. E, F. Rlsllne of Seattle, who has been closely associated with the youngsters' careers. "All of them have excellent per sonalities. All are modest and so well behaved It's hard for people to believe they are so young." Up to date there have been no Instances of "putt peeking" amonp the five. This Is the first symptom of the feminine golfer's most dead ly affliction love. When a gal starts peeking over her putts to see how many boys are watching, her golfing days are numbered. Tnere are boy friends in the nlcture, naturally, but so far Cuoid hasn't been able to get off the first tee.
