Golf Tilt Sunday
BY the Associated Press.


LOS ANGELES, April 6.-The
long-awaited titanic battle of the
Texans comes of Sunday when
Babe Didrikson Zaharias, trans
planted Dallas lass, and Betty
Jameson Of San Antonio match
shots at Los Angeles Country Club
in a special 36-hole golf event.
The two rounds at Glover should
bring forth some prodigious fiddle
sticking and go a long way toward
determining whether bumptious
Babe or beauteous Betty is the
Nations greatest gal golfer.
Betty Is two-time national
champion, having won the crown
in 1889 and 1910. Her short game
is rated her strongest asset. Betty's S
best 18-hole round is 10.
The fantastic Babe, who turned
to golf after running out of other
sports worlds to Conquer, never has
won a national title. The war cam
ceiled the tourney just as she was
getting ready to enter. Her drives
average 270 yards. She's toured
some local layouts in 64 and IS.
Betty. 25 years old, is society editor
of the San Antonio Light and avidly
interested in politics and world
affairs Babe, %, makes no pretense
at erudition, is mainly concerned in
seeing that hubby George Zaharias,
the 'rasslin' man, gets three squares
a day at their home here.
Betty packs 145 pounds on a S.
foot-8 chassis, while lankier Da Did
rikson carries l30 pounds on 5-10
frame. Both whip that clubhead in
a manner to make mere males sWoon
with envy.
They've met just once before, in
the semifinals of the 1887 Texas
Open. Betty Won.
Sundays match is one Of two
"grudge" meetings engineered by
Fred Corcoran, adroit secretary of
the Professional Golfers Associa-
ton. for the benefit of the PGAS
rehabilitation fund for war veterans,
aiming to improve golf courses at
military hospitals. The gals are

The run OF Whlte perCn IN CNe
Potomac continues strong. affording
many a thrill to anglers of all ages.
There is something really satisfying
in catching batch OF these de-
licious food fish and when they are
biting the fun is fast and furious
Hickory shad are on the march and
already the vanguard are being
caught IN the swift waters in the
Chain Bridge area. Pomolobus me-
diocriS is the hickory ShadS sclen-
tific name and he is close kin to
all the members of the herring fam
lily, which includes many species.
The glut herring and branch her
ring, both of which undoubtedly
are to be found in the herring run
in the Potomac, are his cousins. All
have excellent food value.
The opening of Maryland's trout
streams on April Is is being eagerly
anticipated. Each year we are asked
what are the most successful flies
for dry fly fishing nearby trout
streams. Every angler has his IA
vorites. If we were allowed choice
of only four patterns we'd take the
black gnat, royal coachman fan-
wing, red fox and light cahill in
the order named, tied on size IA or
Is hooks. A to 9 foot leader
tapered to Ak fills the bill for us
at this time of the year and we
use a D level line, which for the
short casts our local streams permit
for the most part, is all that is
needed. Other favorite patterns Of
some of our fishing buddies are the
black prince, yellow may quill
gordon and dark cahill If the fish
are not rising properly to dry flies
they can be fished wet by washing
off the fly dope and securing the
leader so it will sink. A good dose
of saliva is as effective as anything
we know of for this purpose.
When you go fishing beware of
the wood tick and the copperhead
snake Warm weather has brought
out both ahead of their normal
season. We are informed that in
fected tick areas have been spread
ing of late years, so that if you do
find one dug in better see your
doctor and avoid possible spotted or
