By WALTER BYERS limited Press Stan Correspondent


 Chicago, Aug. 21 - (UP) - A freckle-faced little girl from Bobby Jones' hometown of Atlanta, Ga, Louise Suggs, was the same kind of a threat in the Womerl's Western Amateur Golf Tournament today as the "Old Master" used to be two de- cadeS ago.
 The strength of Jones' game was lis driver and butter, Calamity Jane." Miss Suggs' mastery of those two clubs makes the 21 .year-cid Georgia Miss an outstanding threat as the opening round of match play in the Women's Western Amateur gets under way over the Knollwood Club course.
 Scores Record 73
 Louise, duration southern amateur queen, is an odds-on favoritc to eliminate Rena Nelson of Chicago in her match today on the basis of the record -shattering 73 she fired yesterday, giving her medal honors among the 32 who qualified. Her 38-35 round set new all-time quail flying mark for the tournament and set a new course record for the tough, 6,700-yard Knollwood layout.
 Such big-name stars as defcnd- ing Champion Dorothy German of Philadelphia and Mrs. Babe Didrik- son Zaharias of Los Angeles were far behind. All wel-known players qualified, however.
 Miss Germain, bidding for her third consecutive title, posted q 38-40-7S to take fourth place be- hind two veteran Iowans, Ann Casey of Mason City and Phyllis Ot- to of Atlantic, who tied for second with 76's.

 That happened last season. ] had been going at a pretty good pace and was wondering what ] must do to attract the attention of a big league scout. One day Tarleton came down to me and said he had some news. "What is it?" I asked.
 You've been sold to Brooklyn.' he said.
