Technicality Eliminates Miss Hicks From Tourney

Williams gp geks Ball | Off Green in

NEW YORK, July Just about ft isn't. We are speaking of war time big time baseball. How could it be? Some 80 per cent of the class is in uniform. Those who have been peering | at the game since the season opened say the big difference lies in over all defense. There has been a marked deterioration in speed, mobility and arm power. Less ground covered, fewet touch and go plays are completed and it's something of a rarity to gee a runner nailed at the plate by an outfielders peg. This had to happen. It helps to explain, for instance, the presence of Barkley at shortstop for the Dodgers, a club that is up to its large fluttering ears in a hot pennant fight. A month ago Mr. Barkley was playing himself a mess of semipro ball out in Kansas It is very likely true could have been plaving league ball of =a sort but there must have been good and substantial reasons why he wasn't plaving big league ball. » = IT SO HAPPENED the Dodgers had a tstop problem and Mr. Barkley the best they could get un the existing circumsgtances. There would be nothing extraordinary about a confirmed tail Wg eis, such as the

But it is certainly when a pennant contender makes such a move. The fact is the Dodgers would much rather pay out heavy dough and get a more eolid asset It would be good busiitess. But solid assets aren't fvailable these days. This is not intended as a sheer at Mr Bal klev, who is undoubtedIv a gentleman and a scholar. He Just happens to be symbolic of a situation. In normal times the Dodgers couldn't be interested in him. Right now he comes close to being their hope. He covers the shortstop zone adequately, can make the double play and can throw well enough. In short, he bolsters the defense Illustrating the wartime attitude toward defense, the Dodger master minds profess not to be concerned about Mr. Barklev's ability to hit. “If he can Keep close to 200, he'll do.” they insist The Dodgers tried several experiments at short before one of their scouts, George Sisler, the old first baser, urged them to go with Mr. Barkley, who, incidentally, made his bow on the road.

‘Bad’ Moment

GLEN ELLYN, Ill, July 1 (U. P). { —Two veterans of big-time golf competition and a pair of teen-age newcomers face each other today in the semi-final round of the 14th] lannual Women's Western pen! golf tournament. The seasoned stars are Patty Berg, | | Minneapolis, Minn. professional, and Dorothy Kirby, slender Atlanta, | Ga., newspaperwoman. Ti? new- | comers are 18-year-old Cavherine | Fox of Glen Ridge, N. | year-old Dorothy Germain of Phila- | | delphia, Pa. The pairings in the round-of- four | | pit Miss Berg against Miss Fox and | | Miss Kirby against Miss Germain.

J., and 19-|

A gruelling double-round yestet - { day was highlighted by the elimina- |

tion of Elizabeth Hicks, the 1941 National Women's champion from Long Beach, Cal.

Moment of Irritation

Miss Hicks was beaten 1 up on {19 holes by Miss Kirby when she [called a violation of rules technicality on herself and dramatically ended one of the outstanding mat tches of the tournament. The little Californian was one up las she came to the 18th green, but {there Miss Kirby sank a 12-foot putt {to square the issue. On the 19th, Miss Kirby had a five. Miss Hicks imissed an eight-foot putt for a birdie four and a win. The ball rolled a bare six inches past the cup, and in a moment of irritation the West Coast star took her putter and with a one-handed swipe {knocked it off the green. | Miss Hicks informed Mrs. Charles {Dennehy of Lake Forest, Ill, the match referee, that she had not ‘holed out and that Miss Kirby had inot conceded the putt. Mrs. George | Weinhagen Jr. of Milwaukee, Wis, rules chairman of the Women's | Western Golf association, awarded {the match to the Atlanta girl

Trounced Miss Haemerle

Earlier in the day, Miss Kirby trounced Betty Jane Haemerie of St. Louis, 7 and 6. Patty Berg eliminated Mary Agnes Wall of Menominee, Mich., 5 and 4 in the second round and won from Marjorie Row of Detroit, Mich, 4 and 3, in the quarterfinals. Miss Fox, after gaining an easy 7 and 8 victory over Margaret Russell of Detroit, was pressed hard to oust Mrs. O. H. Romadka of Rochester, Minn.. 3 and 1. The New Jersey girl was three down at the end of 10 holes, but then rallied speetacularly to take six of the next seven holes and the match.
