CHICAGO. Jan. 9.-The biggest
wartime golf tournament for women,
the Western Open, will be held at
Chicago's Glen Oak Country Club
June 28-July 2.
Decision to hold the meet in 1943
despite travel restrictions was made
by the Women's Western Golf Asso-
ciation. which believes representa-
tive talent can be drawn from the
immediate vicinity If curtailment Of
transportation is too rigid at tourna-
ment time.
The association never has been too
concerned with the size of its gal
leries. However, by choosing the
Glen Oak course, spectators will be
within walking distance from rail-
road line that runs within a tee shot
of the links.
Betty Jameson, the former San
Antonio (Tex) miss who won the
Open and Western amateur in Chi
cago last year, has been living here
for the last several months, giving
up her sports writing job to work
for an insurance company. She is
certain to be ready to defend her
Open championship.
The association also expects the
return of Patty Berg, the famed
Minneapolis golfer, who has been
out of competition for more than a
year because of injuries suffered in
an automobile accident. Before her
injuries. Patty was the topnotchel
in the women's field.
The WWGA also announced that
the derby" and junior tourna-

program, would not be revived this

however. that every effort would be
made to hold the amateur meet

explain the popularity of one old

P. Sour own taste is more

The teams usually have a couple
of football players who forget
themselves in times of stress and
are likely to bounce opponents
around the floor as we'll as the

good always, but there's lots of
action.
Simple solution-Easiest way
that we can see to avoid the nec-
essity of converting Florida's
stake horses into steak horses
would be to open up a couple of
those well-equipped betting par
