Riley Has Chance To Beat ‘The Babe’

CHICAGO, June 24 (UP)—Polly Riley, 22-year-old golfing vet-

game, was rated a good chance of beating the famed Mrs. Babe Didrickson Zaharias today when they clash in the quarter-final round of the western women’s open tournament. At the beginning of the tourney, the Babe was figured as a shoo-in, but, to date, her play has been no more impressive than that of the other survivors. Meanwhile, Miss Riley, a pert miss from Texas, toured the tricky Skycrest course yesterday in even par for the 13 holes she had to play to win over Bettye Mims White of

It was the best game thus far fn the tourney. She was twounder par on the first nine, too, the lowest nine-hole round re-

corded in the tourney and the sec-|

ond under regulation figures. Mrs. Zaharias trimmed Mary McMillin, 21-year-old Green Bay, Wis, star, 5-and 4, to avenge a defeat suffered in the 1946 Women's Amateur tourney. But Mrs. was four over par for her 14 holes and if she plays that way today, and Miss Riley repeats her game, the Babe could well be out of the tourney, which leads to a title she has won three times previously. The Babe was, however, -favored.

four hits ‘in losing his seventh game, Yanks Win 5-1 The New York Yankees helped tighten the American League race, moving to within two-and-a-half games of league-leading Cleveland, beating them, 5 to 1, under the lights at Cleveland. It was an 11-inning game decided by a grand slam homer by Tommy Henrich. A crowd of 65,797, saw Ed Lopat of the Yanks and Don: Black of Cleveland match slants all the way in a brilliant pitchers’ duel. The third-place Philadelphia A’s moved up three games behind Cleveland as they routed the St. Louis Brown, 12 to 1. Dick Fowler held the Browns to six hits to get his fourth victory as Herman Franks belted three hits, including a homer, to lead the A’s in a 14-hit assault on three pitchers. In a National League game, Rookie Pitcher Robin Roberts served up home run balls to Hank Sauer and Danny Litwhiler but still pitched the Phillies to a 3 to 2 win over Cincinnati at Philadelphia. For Sauer, major league leader in homers. It was his 22d circuit clout of the year. Rain washed out the rest of the major league program: Boston at Chicago in the American League and Pittsburgh at Brooklyn, Chicago at New York (a double-header), and St. Louis at Boston in the National. YESTERDAY'S STAR — Tom Henrich of the Yankees who hit a grand-slam homer in the 11th inning to give New York a 5 to 1 win over league-

D MR. BOSTON—The Red Sox and Braves are engaged in a lively bidding spree for the contract of George Boston. Swift and with an accurate arm, the Boston University center fielder gained a reputation for his detensive ability while batting a lusty .370. He played errorless ball the past college season. Boston (the player, not the teams) has one more year of collegiate eligibility, but athletic officials say he will forego this for a professional career.

LONDON, June 24 (UP)—Lord Burghley, chairman of the Olympic committee, announced today that the total of nations competing in the summer games has risen to 61 with the receipt of a late entry from British Guiana. The total was 12 more than the previous record set by the 1936 games in Berlin.
