the third round, but watched
the play and went dancing that

On December %, 1888, George
and Babe were married in st.
Louis. Leo Durocher was best
man and his former wife stood
up with Babe. The honeymoon
Iers spent months of 1889 in
Australia. where George wres-
tied and Babe played golf ex-
hibitionS.
Babe still had a yen for tour
lnament golf. and in January,
1910, she applied for reinstate-
ment as an amateur. The USGA
approved if she would drop all
professional contracts for the
three-year waiting period. She
won the only two tournaments
for which she was eligible that
year, the women's Western Open
and Women's Texas Open.
Now that she must be COM
Iparatively idle, Babe turned to
tennis. She took lessons under
Eleanor Tenant, who has
taught many stars, and by the
fall of 1941 was ready for her
debut. But the tennis people,
too. said she was a professional
and never would be eligible for
amateur tournaments. Babe
wrote that she never touched
another tennis racket.
Then she turned to bowling
rolled with a tenpins team that
set a national record, and carried
"a ITO average in a Southern
California league.
The Babe regained her ANA
teur golf standing in January,
1943, and virtually was unbeat-
able. In 1916 she won the Wom-
ems National Amateur the only
time she was to compete in it.
She ran up her streak Of II con.
secutive tournament triumphs in
as and AZ, and her 18th was
the British Women's Amateur, in
which she became the first Amer
lean to win.
The Broadmoor Invitation
was the Babes nth consecutive
victory, and q few days later she
turned pro. The biggest item
was a 100000 movie deal that
fell through.
The Babes appeal helped build
up a women's golf circuit OF big
time proportions. In 1913 she
won the first Women's National
Open. and after that made most

for several years. In 1852 and

months that she finally had a

Grantland Rice was among those
who told her she had been given

The Babe received a ticker

Dallas. She ended her amateur
track career a few weeks later
in a post Olympic track meet in
Chicago. where she won the dis
Gus with a heave that would
have taken first place in the
Olympics,
There have been numerous
stories as to how Babe took up
golf, and she admitted in her
book she couldn't recall exactly
which took preference. But her
first full 18-hole round was
played just after her Olympic
triumph with Grantland Rice,
Westbrook Pegler and Braven

the game she started to hit the
drive off the first hole without

In December, 1882, Babes
name was linked with an auto
mobile company, and even
though it was proven that she
wasn't to blame, she was de-
clared a professional by the AAU.
She said she had been thinking
about turning pro anyway.
The Babe had a brief fling on
the stage. playing a harmonica

Two days later it was reported
that the USGA was looking into
her amateur standing. On May

were that it was for the best

crushed. The decision was wide

Babe made the most Of it.
She signed with a sporting

playing a series Of exhibitions
with Gene Sarazen. She was
getting $500 per appearance, and
soon had enough money to full
fill her dream Of moving her
parents to Southern California.
For the next couple Of years she
worked on her golf game and
played exhibitions. There was
no women's golf circuit in those
days.
