South End Softball

In the American division of the South End softball circuit one of the hardest battles of the season will be staged Thursday night. After four days postponement the Dixies oppose the Brigades in playof to break the five way tie Thursday at 6:05. The winner of the last Fri- days game which was the Bombers, and the winner of Thursdays game, will have to draw with the Mill street, to play Friday.
 The Giants were eliminated last Friday by a defeat from the Bomb CTS, the teams left now are the Brigades, Dixies, Mill street and the Boys Club Bombers. The Little Giants that were eliminated in the playoffs with the Bombers weren't SO easily beaten, because 1t took two games to eliminate them. The first game was a tie with the Bomb CTS and the second game to break the tie the Little Giants were de- feated. These two games were the two toughest meet that the Little Giants ever had, and was well won by the Bombers. AS to the Brigades and Dixies game this week it is hard to tell which will be eliminated. Both teams with an even record in the American division will prob- ably fight to tie game. A lot of fans will be on hand for Thursdays titular encounter weather permit ting.
 The Old Timers
 The St. Ann's Old Timers and the Laurel Lunch Old Timers have engaged themselves in the best three out of five series games, and will play their third game tomorrow night at 6:l0 sharp. The St. Ann's up to now have won the two games with the Laurel Lunch, and a vic- tory for the St. Ann's old Timers would put them champions of the South End Old Timers. Jimmy Keleher, captain of the Laurel Lunch has made many changes in the team, and has now put his play CTS at their proper place. Jimmy says that they will bring a victory for sure tomorrow night. A large crowd will be at the South End diamond to see the boys play.

WOMEN GOLF|NC STARS OUT TO.
 GET PATTY BERG.
Mrs. E. L. Page, Dorothy Traung Tie for Medal in
 National Golf Meet
BY STEVE SNYDER United Press Staff Correspondent

(Un1ted Press Staff COrrespOndent)
 Wilmette, Ill.,. Sept. 2o.-CUP)- Sixty-two survivors of & dreary qualifying round fought in the rain and cold began another chase af- ter defending champion Estelle Law son Page and Patty Berg today in the first round of match play in the women's national golf tourna- ment.
 Dorothy Traung of San Francisco tied Mrs. Page for medal honors, each with 30, but all those tough, lower bracket golfers were out to get Patty, who contented herself with an 85.
 It was the third straight year the 31-year old champion from Chapel Hill, N. O., had whipped the tour nament course on opening day and barged home with the medal. Her first round yesterday, brilliant for the conditions under which 1t was played, gave her an easier road to the finals than any other star in the tournament.
 In her first match today, she meets Mrs. Eric Phillips of Lambton Mills, Ont, who shot a 94 in the qualifying round and won her match play berth in playoff. Scattered through her upper bracket were few players conceded much chance of stopping Mrs. Pages march into the 36-hole final Saturday.
 Miss Traung, at the top of the lower bracket, meets another who landed in the first round after the playoff at 94-Mrs. Lillian Zech of Chicago-and Miss Berg, also in the lower bracket, plays Mrs. Myron Davy of Washington, D. 0.
 The co-medalists were the only two in the field of l07 who suc- cessfully fought the drizzilng rain and high wind in the qualifying round. It made no difference to them. Each had chance to score par 79's and barely missed A green that had no business to be as fast as 1t was after continuous rain, puzzled Mrs. Page on the 17th. And she took three butts from 25 feet out before she solved it.
 Marion Miliey of Lexington, Ky, former western and western derby champion, slushed through the hard- est part of the rain early in the day in 4l-42-83. She also was dropped into the second round and today plays Dorothy Ellis of ln- dianapolis.
 All but one member of Britains Curtis cup team made the grade in the qualifying round and the luck of the draw plunked two of them together in the first round. Jesse Anderson of Perth, Scotland, British champion in 1887, drew Nan Baird of Prestwick, Scotland. Clairrie Herman, Ireland; Mrs. J. B. Walker, Dublin, Ireland, and Phyllis Wade, Dorset, England, all qualified. Mrs. A. c. Critchley of Surrey, England, also qualified.
 The veterans-Mrs. o. s. Hill of Kansas City and Glenna Collett Ware, Philadelphia, six time winner both slipped in. Notable failure was 17 year old Edith Estabrooks of Dubuque, Iowa, whose plucky stand in the womens western few weeks back, carried her clear into the finals where she lost to Miss Berg.
