LOS ANGELES, July 12.-Headed

National Open Golf
Meet for Women
Expected Soon
Addition of Potty Berg
Makes Ranks Of Fair
Pros Impressive

Before long we'll be watching
national open golf championship
for women, if you can judge by the
way the feminine golfers are going
out for cash and abandoning the
amateur ranks. Patty Berg, the
Minneapolis red-head, is the latest
to succumb to the lure of gold
abandoning the business of playing
for cute little cups in favor of turn
ing pro.
Others who have passed up wom-
ems amateur golf are Helen Hicks,
1881 national champion; Helen Dety-
weller, winner at one time of all the
sectional titles around Washington;
Mrs. Opal S. Hill of Kansas City,
one of the best of the veterans, and
Babe Didrickson. The Babe, who
won the Western Women's Open
few weeks back, never was a links
amateur in the sense that she was
top competitor. She learned the
game as a pro and has improved
to the point where she is pretty
close to being the best feminine
golfer in the United States if not
in the world.
Two Meets Open to Pros.
AS the situation now stands only
two big tournaments are open to
these avowed feminine golf profess
sionals-the Western Womens Open
and winter affair in Florida. They
sit on the sidelines while the femmes
who remain amateur play for ma
tlonal titles. But before long some
one will organize womens ma
tional open championship, for it is,
ridiculous for women to play in the
mems National Open. Good as they
are, no woman is in the class of a
first class male professional golfer.
Patty Bergs desertion of the ANA
teur ranks (she is going with the
same outfit which employs Helen
Dettweiler, Helen Hicks and Opal
H1lD leaves the women's amateur
ranks wide open. Patty probably
could have won few more womens
amateur championships had she re-
mained in the game, but the rest
OF the pack were pushing ner.
Stars in Amateur Ranks.
Betty Jameson, the reigning
champion, who won last fall when
Patty was recovering from an ap-
pendectomy, is a good golfer. So
are Dorothy Kirby, Jeanne Cline,
Marion Miley, Elizabeth Hicks, Jane
Calender and a few others. But
Patty was the standout. She'll be
missed at the next women's national
tourney, in California, late in Sep
tember.
So with q flock of good feminine
golfers now professional, you can
look for formation of a pro womens'
association at any time. The U. S.
G. A. might even come out from ira
dition and sponsor it.

there is some conversation that over

ton when we say that the kid Is
one of the longest hitters around
town, and we don't bar Cliff Spen-
Ger and Charlie Malone, and some
of the other men who wallop ball
long way. He needs experience
and particularly competitive expert
ence, but he is good enough at his
age. Worsham can win that Junior
open title, even if Otto Greiner. the
mid-Atlantic Junior champ, enters.
Pros, Amateurs Eligible.
The tourney is open to any lad in
Maryland who has not attained the
age of 81, whether he is amateur or
pro. In that it is different from
the Maryland Junior Tourney, which
was billed as a tourney open only
to junior members or sons Of men,

won, had no club connection, and
thus did not fulfill the requirements.

American Dominance Goes
With Fall Of Yonkees

But it's all different today. The
Yankees of 1910 are far and away
from the Yankees of 1886, 1887, 1898
and 1889. And with the dizzy de-
scent of the Yankees from their
old heights, so the dominance of the
American League has ended.
I saw the National League win its
All-Star game in Tampa last March.
I saw National League pitchers tie
American League sluggers into an
assortment of true lovers knots.
The same thing happened in st.
Louis this week. Once again Ma
tional League pitchers put silencers
on American League bats.
In the last 18 innings of All-Star
place, from March to July, Ameri-
can League sluggers have ham,
mered, exploded, thundered and
mauled one fabby run across the
plate.
There was time when the A. L.
had most of the dynamite. 1t may
have the jump in long-range shoot
ing today, but not against the pick
of National League pitching. No
setof home run sluggers is going
to make any headway against Paul
Derringer, Bucky Walters, Carl
Hubbell Chats right, or many
others I could name.
The Yankees from 1885 through
1899 were an exception. They had
practically everything-the hitting,
the fielding, the pitching, the con-
fdence and the poise. They had
amazing balance, which is some
thing that time works on in its
leisurely way.

Leagues Better Bofonced
Than in Some Years

American Leaguers will tell you
that Detroit, Cleveland, Boston and
New York all could win the National
League pennant, with something to
spare.
National Leaguers. now lifted from
the gloomy abyss of the years that
knew defeat, are telling you the
Reds and Dodgers would run away
with an American League pennant.
What do you suppose" one vet
eran National Lacquer asked me,
would happen to that American
League if their hitters had to move
out against Paul Derringer, Bucky
Walters, Junior Thompson, Jim
Turner, Whitley Moore and others
day after day? There wouldn't be a
team in that league hitting .240
against Red pitching"
This is moving trifle fast the
other way.
The two leagues now are better
balanced than they have been in
some years. Again this is largely
due to the Yankee drop.
Where are my legions?" some
Roman emperor once asked, using a
free translation.
Where are my Rulings and
Dickeys and Gehrigs and Gomezes
and Gordons and Rolfes and Gro
settis?" Joe Mccarthy also might

The late Mr.. Tennyson's stream

"Time, that aged nurse" may rock

Baseball, in losing the 4-year
Yankees-losing them so far, at
least-has built up additional inter-
est through both leagues, especially
the American League where several
other teams have their chance Tor
the promised land, flowing with
milk, honey and World Series swag.
1t also has lifted heavy shadow
from the National League which
year after year saw its champions
hammered to pulp as the Yankees
mopped up in four straight or
something almost as bad.
The present campaign may be an
Ill wind for the Yankees, but it has
been a soothing summer breeze for
the other clubs which have been
shivering in the Barren Lands since
1885.
Now we have two great pennant
races, two well-matched leagues,
and two great stretch runs on
ahead.
Who can ask for more? Barring

Baseball Up for Air
As Yankees Sink
BY GRANTLAND RICE,

NEW YORK, July IL (N.A.N.AO.
For four years the New York
Yankees dominated baseball to
such an extent they left a cock
eyed slant on the double corral.
They left too definite an impression
that the American League was the
whole show, including the pink
lemonade, the big tent, the ele-
plants, the hard blue seats and the
side show after the main act.
1t never was quite that way. It
wasn't the American League which
dominated the diamond. 1t was
merely the New York Yankees.
They won something like % out of
81 World Series games, dating from
1927. So, naturally, the National
League must have been a flock of
sandlotters.
But don't forget that during that
four-year spell the Yankees also
were annihilating, assassinating
numbering, manhandling and maui
ing the Boston Red Sox, the De-
troit Tigers, the Cleveland Indians
and the remainder of their league

in the Midwest a year or two ago.
They lost six out of eight games. I
asked one of the Yankees about
this cave-in.
NO" he said, eve were not
exactly loafing. But why run for
a car you've caught? We knew we
were from II to IS games better
than the rest of the league. We
knew we could loaf and still gal
