INDIANAPOLIS, June 19.-With
two precedents already broken, the
18th annual women's Western open
golf tournament today moved into
the first of five days of match play
leading to the crowning of cham
pion on Saturday
By the boards, as a result of yes
terday's 12-hour qualifying session,
was the tradition that the Western
never produces co-medalists. Mrs.
Mildred (Babe) Didrickson Zaha-
rias, the defending champion and
1914 medal winner, and Louise
Suggs of Atlanta took care of that
by firing twin 75s-1 under par
as the sixth twosome to tackle wa

Also in the discard was the Wes-
terms reputation for producing up
sets in the qualifying round. Vir-
tually all of the outstanding favor
ties we're numbered among the Sc
lect 80 who fired the 81 or better
necessary to enter today's initial
round of watch play.
Mrs. Zaharias was out to beat the
odds against the defending cham
pion as she teed off against Eliza
beth Dunn of Indianapolis this
morning. The only defending cham
pion ever to retain the crown was
Mrs. Opal Hill who won in 1885 and
1886. Miss Dunn, five times cham
pion of Indiana, qualified with an IS.

Brown Bows by Decision,
Avoiding Usual Koyo

Last summer the District Boxing
Commission told Bobby Brown,
game and battleworn local battler,
to give up the fight game for his
own good and barred him from
f1sticuffing here. Brown then merely
took his ring career out of town,
and since then has been boxing in
cities where weigh-in examinations
are not so thorough.
He has found steady employment
in New York, where the commission
ignores the decision of the WASH
ington ring board. 1t was in New
Yorks Greensboro Stadium last
night that Brown, who now weighs
ISL, went in against Sonny Horne,
162, of Valley Stream. The District
boy lost again, but this time it was
an eight-round decision rather than
the usual knockout. A crowd Of
5000 was on hand.

NEW YORK, June 19.-Manager
Leo Durocher had another post
ponement to fret about today but
it wasn't baseball this time. The
Brooklyn Dodger pilot, and Joseph
Moore, special policeman at Eb-

were continued in 81 900 bail.
The pair are accused of attacking
John Christian, %, a Dodger fan,
under the grandstand June 8 after
he persisted in heckling the team in

The plaintiff alleged he received a
fractured jaw, lacerations and con-
cuSsion.
Christian, an ex-soldier, was in
court yesterday but could not speak
distinctly because of his jaw injury,
