ORMOND BEACH, Fla, Feb 20.
Mrs. William M. Zech of Chicago
drew the assignment today of trying
to halt red-thatched Patty Berg in
the quarter-finals of the South At
lantic womens golf tournament.
It began to look more and more
as if Betty Jameson Of San Antonio,
Tex, who won the national cham
pionship last year while Patty was
out of competition due to an ap-
pendix operation, was the only one
likely to give the Minneapolis star q
run for her money. They are ex-
pected to meet in the final.
Patty defeated Elizabeth Wing of
Evanston. Ill, and 5, yesterday.
She shot a IS, two under mems par

If Savold improved today he ought

So the bout seemed to be off, even

NEW YORK, Feb. 29.-There is a

indoor singles tennis championship
wouldn't draw a good crowd even
If played in a big department store

This tournament, staged in q
drafty armory, has had to compete
with bad weather, track meets, bas-

view and assorted other sports. so
that the crowd really amounts to a
family gathering.
Bobby Riggs. the American and
British champion who probably will
meet Don McNeill, the Kenyon Col

the championship, warmed to his
task yesterday in manner which
tennis galleries seldom are privileged
to see.

games, came back superbly to smash
out IS, Ga, 6I1 triumph over

semifinals.
