Babe Strong Choice
To Beat Phyllis Otto
For Western Title
BY JERRY LISKA,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

LAKE FOREST, ILL.,, Aug. Is
Versatile Babe Didrikson Zaharias
of Los Angeles, seeking her first
major amateur tee title at the age
of 80, today opposed youthful
Phyllis Otto of Atlantic, Iowa, final
ist for the second straight year,
for the women's Western amateur
golf championship.
The 36-hole match, climaxing a
week Of competition at trap-stud-
ded Knollwood Club, apparently
was shoo-in for the veteran Mrs.
Zaharias. who yesterday chopped
down Defending Champion Doro-
thy German of Philadelphia, 5
and 3.
Miss Otto, senior at Northwest
ern University, gained the title
round with a somewhat surprising
2-and-l conquest of Medalist Louise
Suggs, Atlanta, Ga. but was a de-
cided underdog against the power
driving Babe.
As a l6-year-old. Phyllis took an
S-and-7 trimming from Babe in the
second round of the women's West
ern Open at Milwaukee in 1910
when Mrs. Zaharias won the first
of her three open titles.
Although Miss Otto made a cred
table showing in last years anna
teur before losing to Miss Ger
main, and 4, in the champion
ship round, she was not expected
to cope with her final opponent
whose booming tee shots approach
masculine proportions.
Whatever doubt there was OF
Babes ability to succeed in her
amateur debut was dispelled yes
terday when she peeled three stroke.
OF par to crush Miss Germain fol
the third time in IA months.
Miss German, shooting for her
third straight amateur title, folded
on the back nine after trailing by
two holes at the turn. She had lost
to Babe, Z and and 4 and 2. in
the finals Of the 1914 and l945
Western Open meets.

VANDALIA. Ohio, Aug. 25.-The
unheralded shooters still rule the
roost in the Grand American Handi-
cap, most famous of all trapshoot-
ing competition.
This time 1t was Don Englebry,
Vcrmillion (Ohio) restaurant oper-
ator, who roared out Of obscurity to
win "the Grand" and take q title
that continually escapes the clutches
Of big-name shooters.
And Englebry had so little con-
fidence in his ability to win he
didn't have a cent in the optionals-
side wagers which build up the
prize winners kitty. As a result,
his 99x100 from % yards yesterday
was good for about $4,000. Had he
bet in the optionals his take prob
ably would have been around s. 500.
Although he's been shooting since
1929 and is this years Ohio State
champion, Englebry said, II didn't
think I had a chance" as he ex-
planned his failure to bet in the op-
tionals.
His 80 was posted when most of
the starting field of $40 had finished
and it came just when 1t looked as
If S. Dale Pierce of Geneseo, Ill,
had the title wrapped up and stored
away. Pierce had shot 98xl00.
As 1t finally ended he didn't even
get second money. Harry Myatt of
Chillicothe, Ohio, shooting on the
next to the last squad, also turned
in 98x10o and then whipped Pierce
In the shootoff for the runnerup
position.
The women's grand American title
went to Mrs. Van Marker Of Evans
ton, ILL.,, for the second straight
year. She and Miss Florence Mos
of Cincinnati tied with 94xlO0 and
in the shootoff Mrs. Marker finished
on top.

NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-Rocky
Graziano, q Brooklyn toughie with
the kick OF mule in his right hand,
is boxing's latest million dollar baby.
He zoomed into the big money
class last night by again knocking
out welterweight Champion Freddie
Red" Cochrane in the 10th and last
round of their return title
bout at Madison Square Garden.
A crowd of 1901, which con-
tributed to a gross gate Of 500, ,469,
thrilled as Rocky unleashed his
murderous right in the last two
rounds and .fioored the Elizabeth,
N. j., redhead seven times for nine
counts before he stayed down for
good at 2:37 of the 10th.
During the first six rounds the
fight was carbon copy of their first
meeting on June 20. Cochrane
again the underdog and outweighed
by 9 pounds at 145 to 154, built up
a big lead on points by belaboring
Rocky with left hooks and except
for one or two occasions, evading
the bull-like rushes Of his younger
opponent.

Do you weigh between ITS and

Well, Promoter Joe Turner has a
job waiting for you.
All you have to do is climb in
the ring at Grifith Stadium Mon
day night during Turner's all-star
boxing show and 60 eight rounds or
less with Jimmy Bell, the local
Negro heavyweight. The promoter
had Bell booked to fight Dixie

more dough. Meanwhile, Turner Is
turning the town upside down try
ing to find an opponent.
Otherwise the card remains in

District featherweight who split two

CHICAGO, Aug. 25.-The Chicago
Cubs and st. Louis returned to the
wars today for the 1s45 National
League pennant, and if there's one
team Manager Billy Southworth
and his Cardinals aren't afraid Of,
it's those Cubs.
The Cards, with q more or less
junior edition of the old Gashouse
Gang. beat the Cubs yesterday, 10,
in the first game of a series that
virtually had the pennant riding on
every play. That one-run victory
on an unearned run-cut the Cubs
lead In the National League to ~
games.
We've been beating them when
we didn't have our first team out
there, and I think we can win this
series." Southworth said before yes
terday's game.
Afterward, he said it was the
kind of game he anticipated, with
break making the dlnerence. The
Cards won the game when, with
two out, Len Merullo of the Cubs
pulled First Baseman Phil CAVIAR
retta OF the bag with a high throw
and Whitley Kurowski was safe.
Ray Sanders then lashed a double
down the right field line on a
hit-and-run play and Kurowski
scored.
Hank Borowy pitched one Of the
best games Of his career, a three
hitter. 1t was his second loss
against four victories since joining
the Cubs.
But at the same time, Harry
Brecheen turned in four-hit jot
and stopped the Chicagoans thres
times when they had a runner II

Whether a football veteran can
return to the game after lengthy
slay-off and pick up the threads of
his career is problem that may be
answered at the Redskins George
town training camp where Rockies
Ernie Barber and Jim Watson are
.scrapping over the center berth.
Watson has the edge. He's husky,
smart, has smooth technique and
he's fast. But he had to have those
qualities to win all-Pacific Coast
honors at little College of the Pa
Tctfic. That's man-size league and
you've got to play top-notch foot
ball to gain recognition. Watson is
sliding right into the groove with
the Skins and should make the
grade.
Barber has been away from foot
ball since 1910 and is finding it
harder to get back into the swing
of things. He spent much of that
time in the Aleutians, where wealth
er prohibits everything but indoor
sports. He's not as fast as Watson,
not as smooth and the T is as new
and strange to him as the rest.
Barber will find it tough going.
But he's got the heart and the
drive that make football players"
Coach Dud De Groot was saying
today. II think Ernie is the kind
of fellow you'd like to have around
when the chips are down and the
boys are playing for keeps. Ger
Jainly I'd like to see him pick up
some speed, but he's not the only
one. We're aiming for speed and
aggressiveness, but we're putting a
premium on smartness. You must
have a brainy team to make the T
work, and on that score Ernie ranks
with any of them"
No more cuts are contemplated at
the moment by the Tribes front
once, but, that doesn't mean the
present group will be kept in It's
entirety. Who viii be cut or kept
