CHICAGO, March 1S.-Foster par ents won a long legal battle with the real mother of Kathleen Calnan, 14 years old, for the child's custody today, when Superior Judge Pam awarded the girl to Mir. and Mrs. Charles H. Wight man.
 The Wightmans took the child and reared her as their own soon after her birth.
 Mrs. Marie Calnan Malloy, the mother, declaring that her own child had known her as an aunt. attempted to regain custody of her daughter.
 The child, knowing her foster parents best, showed her preference, but Judge Pam placed the child with her mother for six weeks so that any prejudice against the mother might be broken down. Today the judge decided against the mother.
