Women Pros
Tee Off Today

DULUTH. Mimi. July 26 (P).
"A tight-lipped Patty Berg, still
a relentless competitor in her
third decade of championship
golf. set out today to win one
for the home folks" in the start
of the Women's National Open
at the Northland Country Club.
For Patty there was an in
centive that wasn't there for
her longtime colleagues like
Betty Jameson and Louise Suggs.
More through pride than senti-
ment Patty wants to win a big
one before a home-State crowd.
1t was here that Minneapolis
born Patty won her first State
title 81 years ago.
Arrayed against her on the
first 18-hole round of the To-
round medal-play tournament
were almost all of the rated pro-
fessionals in the land plus an
amateur field topped by Pat
Lesser Of Seattle, Jackie Yates
of Honolulu, Mary Patton JAMS
sen of Charlottesville. Va, and
Barbara McIntire, Toledo, Ohio.
Among the pros shooting for
$4,000 in prize money, $500 of
which goes to the winner, were
five former National Open win
ners-Patty Berg, Betty jane
son. Louise Suggs, Betsy Rawls
and Fay Crocker, the Uru-
guayan native who won last
year.
The 45-player field goes 10
holes again tomorrow with the

quarters to have the rule
changed" Sargent said. Some
want the time lowered to three
years. Others have suggested
that special provision for play
ing in the PGA tournament be
made for golfers with consistent
tournament winning records"
Gene Sarazen, the 54-year-old
squire who won three matches
in his 18th PGA tournament,
said, I'VE must get better golf
courses = championship courses
like Oakmont and Inverness
and we must raise the prize
money to make the meet more

Top prize money this year was

but the prestige of the tourna-
ment victory remains high.
Match Play OutmOded
Fred Corcoran, longtime tour
nament manager of the pro tour
lists, suggests that match-play
golf is outmoded.
Examinations may be attrac-
tive as a change of diet from the
steady run of medal-play events, :"
Corcoran said, "but this type of
head-to-head competition could
be maintained without losing the
medal-play appeal.
"A golf course has 10 holes and
the sport was made to be played
over that route. What do you
have with a 9-and-8 score-a To-
hole tournament. The crowd
likes to see the match come to
the 18th.
why not a match-play tour
nament on medal-score basis.
That is, let two players go the
full 10 holes and then match
medal scores. A 70 beats a II.
Match play tournaments. as pres
emily constituted, are outmoded
and must be modernized."

Charles Town will carry their
fight for increased purses to
Gov. William Marland of West
Virginia. according to an an
nouncement from the Maryland
Delaware-Charles Town division
of the Horsemen's Benevolent
and Protective Association.
Charles H. Gordon, president
of the horsemen's group in this
area. told ITS owners and train
ers at a dinner at nearby Har-
pers Ferry Tuesday night that
he would ask the Governor for
a review of the purse distribu-
ton at Charles Town and insist
that the horsemen receive 4 per
cent of the mutuel play in purses.
John Boniface, regional secre-
tary of the HBPA. said the
horsemen received $205.300 in
purses during the first 10 days
of the current 33-day session.
100000 less than they would
have netted if they had been
paid 4 per cent Of the take.
Under West Virginia law. the
States three race tracks receive
9 per cent Of the IA per cent
take from the betting dollar. the
remaining S per cent accounting
for approximately IA per cent
of the total wagering.
Betting and attendance figures
here are running ahead Of last
years long summer meet which
was plagued by hot weather.
Through last Saturday wagering
averaged $332,324. which repre-
sented an IL per cent increase
over 1855. Attendance is up is

The pari-mutuel trend here
this summer is following the
pattern OF last winter when "a
days Of racing beginning January
% averaged $346,279 for a 9
per cent rise over the comparable
session in 1855.
With FIVE favorites clicking on
the card yesterday a crowd of

was the highest week day play
for the meet, topped only by the
