No results were available at

Severn Wright, who acted as
manager for the Blues in the
absence of Van Lingle Mungo last

BABE TUMBLES
BRITISH FOES

GULLANE, Scotland, June 10
(P-Babe Didrikson Zaharias, as
hot today with her golf sticks as
the blazing sun over her native
Texas, blasted he, way into the
quarterfinals of the British Wom-
ems championships with a pair of
lop-sided victories as her two US.
compatriots faltered.
The Babe, two strokes under
mems par through one nine-hole
stretch, was hotter than a kitchen
stove. She knew it. Her rivals
knew it. And the gallery knew it.
The native Scots forsook virtually
every other match-not to see an
upset but just to pop their eyes
on her tremendous drives.
The former olympic javelin
thrower romped through Mrs. Val
Reddan, one-time Irish champion,
by a 6 and 4 cor in the third
round and crushed Mrs. Cosmo
Falconer of Perth, Scotland, 6 and
5. in the afternoon.
"Why, l just loosen my girdle
and let y . bal have it," he an
swered one %galleryite who asked
why her drives were from so to
100 yards longer than those OF her
victims.
Meanwhile. Helen Sigel of Phil
adelphia was eliminated in the
morning and Ruth Woodward OF
Fall River Mass, was ousted in
the afternoon, leaving the Babe
as the lone U. S. threat for the
sole major British golt title still
on this side of the Atlantic.

Cole Jacobs Stars In Win
With Fine Relief
Pitching
BY GENE WARREN
Star Sports Writer

Brilliant relief pitching by Cole
Jacobs, a promising young south
paw twirler, snuffed out what
might have been a Wilmington
American Legion team rally IN
the eighth inning last night at
Legion Stadium as the undeteateo
Whiteville Juniors rolled to a 100
victory over Coach Tom Davis
entry.
Jacobs, who had beaten Laurln-
burg, 60, on Monday had the fans'
a large percentage of whom were
from Whiteville, in an uproar. The
youthful lefty pitched to six Will
mington batters in the last two
innings, whitfield three Of them,
and allowed non to reach first
base. Jacobs added to his laurels
by batting in a run in the ninth
inning with a slashing grounder
to the Wilmington third baseman.
Tracy Duval started last night
for Wilmington and pitched very
good ball until the sixth in which
he lost control, walking three bat
tiers in a row.. Up to that fatal
frame Duval had allowed four
scattered hits, struck out four,
and delivered one free pass. After
Duval had walked in a run in the
sixth stanza, Coach Davis jerked
him putting in Charlie Smith, a
southpaw. Smith delivered an
other base on balls, forcing in the
second Whiteville score of the
inning. Then an error by the Will
mington shortstop permitted two
more Columbus county TALES to
cross the platter, ending the scor-
ing for that frame.
Whiteville tailed again in the
seventh on a single by Max Al
ford, a stolen base by Afford, and
a hit by Roam Anderson. The
seventh Whiteville counter came in
the eighth and three more in the
ninth made the final count, 1913.
The most outstanding Nhitevllle
batter was Bill Ellis, third base
man, who slar,,ed three bingles
in five trips to the plate. Johnny
Crowley with a double and single
in two tries led Wilmington.

Postmen got over their
surprise to score two runs in the
third and four in the fourth.
