CHICAGO, June 21.-The psyche
logical edge Babe Didriksen Zaharias
seems to have over the field in the
women's Western Open because of
her rocketing 250-yard drives is
beginning to evaporate.
AS the No. l wartime women's
tournament today narrowed down to

who have no illusions of being
beaten-before they start out.
Babes opponent today was Ann
Casey of Mason City, Iowa, sea-
soned competitor who holds closely
to par figures. Although the Beverly
Hills (Calif.) athlete Is expected to
reach the scheduled 36-hole final
Saturday, she may be forced to quit
"scrambling" for her pars before
doing it.
