ROCHESTER, N. Y, June Is.
Followers of women's golf have
tabled Louise Suggs as the Ben
Hogan of the girls and they've
virtually handed her the Wom-
ems National Open champion
ship in advance.
But there's one strong dissent
ing voice raised among the So
contestants who started play to-
day in the first USGA-sponsored
women's open. That voice is
Patty Berg's.
Patty, who won the first Wom-
ems Open under the women's
PGA sponsorship in 1946. thinks
she has good chance to win it
herself. And she argues that any
one of half a dozen professionals
could shoot a winning score in
the 72-hole medal play test.
Miss Suggs of Atlanta, Ga, q
small girl who winds up and belts
the ball in the Hogan manner
and who salts away tournament
prizes like Ben does, still is the
player to beat. She has won more
tournaments and money than
any feminine pro this year and
more than most of the men. Her
winnings shot over the $1,000
mark when she took the Wom-
ems Western Open at Atlanta
last week.
Still weary after the long drive
to get here, Louise went out yes

Cooper-Smith Bout

Jimmy Cooper and Gene Smith
will have an extra week to train
for their third boxing battle at
Griffith Stadium.
The bout was originally sched-
uled for July IA. but has been
shifted to the following Tuesday,
July 81. Reason for the change
was a mixup in the dates. Pro-
moter Vince McMahon wasn't
aware of it when he announced
the bout, but the stadium al
ready had been secured for the
night Of July IA for a Negro
baseball game.
The extra week shouldn't hurt
the box Office. The last Smith
Cooper battle was a slam-bang
affair with Cooper upsetting the
highly rated Smith with knock
out. Smith knocked out Cooper
In their first battle two years
ago and since that time climbed
to national prominence and got
himself a share of the televi-
sion pie.
Cooper is hungry. It's his

Patty Berg Dissents as Experts
Concede Title to Louise Suqqs

over women's par of 37-37-74
for the 6,417-yard Rochester
Country Club course.
But Miss Berg, who is second
in money-winning, won't con-
cede anything.
II think it will take about
296. even par, to win," Patty
said. This is the hardest course
we have played and it definitely
is a drivers course. There are
seven par-f1ve holes and on most
of them you can't reach the
green in two. The par three holes
are hard for women, too. Any one
who wins will have to drive well,
chip well and hit good irons.
There's no room for any weak
ness"
Basing her own hopes on the
fact that she hasn't finished
worse than second in her last
eight tournaments, Patty listed
two other winners Of the Open
titles under the women's Pea
Betty Jameson and Betsy Rawls
as possible victors. Then there
are Betty Hicks and Beverly
Hanson and power hitting Jackie
Pung, all ex-amateur champions,
whose chances look good.
Mrs. Pung, probably the long
est driver in women's golf. had
a practice score of II the other
day. That's one stroke under

set in 1850 by Mrs. Ruth Wood

Brown, former Assistant Sec

Newport. r. l., where the coastal
classic began last Saturday after
noon. Brown is from Providence.
This is the first major ocean
victory for the $250,0O0 Bolero
since she was launched at City
Island, N. Y, in 1949. Two
years ago in the Newport-An-
napolis race Bolero finished "a

second in the fleet and Class A.
Baruna has been sold and sent

Jerry Hennessey Signs
New Redskins Contract

End Jerry Hennessey1, one Of
the Redskins unsung work
horses, has signed for the 1853
season, club officials announced
today.
Obtained from the Chicago
Cardinals last year in a swap
for their 18th draft choice, Hen
nessey was a bargain for the
Washington eleven. A rugged
defensive end, he was shifted to
linebacker and, although green
at the position, proved to be a
reliable play-stopper.
A graduate of Santa Clara,
the 6-foot-2, 225-pound Irish
man will have a former team
mate with him on the Redskins
this season. That would be Hall
Haynes, q halfback, who will re-
join the club at Los Angeles next
month after two years. action

What's the difference between
being a hero and being booed?
In Gil Coan's case, three
straight hits would give him a
1886 batting average instead of
his present 200 mark. In
Jackie Jensen's case, one more
hit a week since the season
started would have given him a
1903 mark instead of his current
.269 figure.
Porterf1eld's two hits last night
boosted his batting average to
1888 and created a tie with Shea
for the team leadership. The
Mats have lost six of their last
eight games decided by one run.
When Porterfleld batted in
three runs last night he accom-
plished what no other Nat had
done in 10 previous games.

Players in Semifinals
Of Women's S, Golf
Vindicate Prophets


golfers opened their competitive
season, some of the Chevy Chase
members were predicting that
Mrs. e. c. Ferriday, jr., would
challenge Betty CARRIER for top
ranking. and Kenwood members
were predicting that their Mrs.
George Noble would unseat Miss
CARRIER.
Going into the District cham
pionship semifinals today, these
three players occupied three of
the spots. with the other belong
ing to Mrs. Lloyd Dennis of
Washington Golf and Country
Club. who is making her first
Semifinal appearance in an i'm
portant tournament.
Last year Miss CARRIER won
the District women's champion
ship for the first time, and was
the low gross winner in most of
the one-day cup tournaments, as
well as Argyle club champion.
Vindicates No. / Ranking.
This season Betty has upheld
her top ranking by winning low
gross in The Star and Herald
Cup tournaments, and she was
low among the District players
in the recent Eastern women's
championship with 80-82-82 at
Congressional. Mrs. Ferriday
won the Keefer Cup, second most
important Of the District events.
Then Mrs. Noble came through
with a rs in the District women's
qualifying to win medal honors.
Thus far the three players who
figured to dominate the women's
golf picture have done so.
Today Miss CARRIER, still
tickled over recovering her old
putting stroke. met Mrs. Ferri-
day, who again yesterday showed
she can play the most spectacu-
lar golf of the three. At times
she lacks consistency.
Finals Tomorrow Morning.
The other match was between
Mrs. Noble, the host club cham
pion, and Mrs. Dennis. The
winners meet at 10 o'clock to-
morrow morning for the title.
Mrs. Betty Meckley, three
time District champion from
the host club. fully believes Miss
CARRIER is a new person on the
green's after the latter raped
in two 15-foot puts and a 20
footer en- route to a 4 and 3
victory over Mrs. Meckley. The
match was even after six holes
and then Betty started drop
ping the long ones.
Mrs. Ferriday was out in SO
in spite of a ball out of bounds
in a 4 and 3 victory over Mrs.
James A. Swink of Belle Haven,
and when the match ended on
Is and the players walked in
Mrs. Ferriday had par for a "a.
Loses Hole on Technically.
Mrs. Swink made an excellent
stand against that type of golf
considering that she lost the
sixth hole when Mrs. Ferriday's
approach shot hit the pin held
by Mrs. Swink's caddie. Mrs.
Swink was one down at that point
and would have evened the
match with a three there, but
instead automatically lost the
hole to go two down.
Mrs. Noble started with a six
on the first hole, a jinx to her,
and still was out in 80 in a 4 and
3 triumph over Mrs. Charles
Egenroad of Washington.
Mrs. Dennis was six up at the
ninth and won S and 4 over Mrs.
Oren Lane Of Belle Haven. This
is Mrs. Dennis first District
championship and she has been
playing consistent low-80 golf
for the three rounds. But to-
