B, August 2'1 — (C?) — Canada's hopes of bringing the Canadian ladies’ open golf championship back home dis- appeared today when two Amreri- can golfers. including the defend- ing champion, made s. double- barrel victory of the iii-hole semi- finals. Miss Grace Lenczyk of Newing- fon. Conn. who defeated Mia Ads Mackenzie of Toronto 5 and 4 in the final at Toronto last evening was impressive again today. Mrs. Eddie Bush of Wilmington, Del, was carried to the 19th green before she could dispose of Mrs. Graeme Pyke of Hudson Heights. Que. The all-American final tomorrow will be a. {id-hole affair; the sernl- finals and earlier rounds were over the Iii-hole distance. Lest year at ‘Iloronto Miss Lenczyk ‘won 12 and 11 in the final against Mrs. F. I. Mulquecn oi‘ ‘Iioronto. and it was Mre. Mulqueen who eliminated Mrs. Bush in the 1947 quarter-final. The 21-year-old Connecticut girl gave a brilliant display under e. sizzling sun in turning back Miss Ads Mackenzie. who has held the title five times. Miss Lenczyk went two up at the start, halved the next two and then took four in a row from her more experienced opponent. They halved the ninth. leaving Miss Lenczyk six up at tihe turn, She had birdies on the second, fifth and eighth. and her approxi- mate rnedal score for the first nine was 36. three under par.

She was over par only at one hole. the 10th, where me took a four against Miss Mee- kensieb two-over five. 'l‘hc champion rules a strong favorite over Mrs. Bush in the final. The Wilmington golfer wss given s dogged battle by Mrs. Pyke, who has played steady golf throughout the tournament. At the fifth hole Mrs_ Pyks went one up with a par three. but Mrs. Bush put the match all square again at the long seventh with a par five. She moved to the front again on the home nine. only to have Mrs. Pyke square the match at the 18th. I MDRRIS BARS r Essy To Perk... Esey To Drive . . .

That exception wss ‘southpaw Fred. Coumbe, w-ho hurled for Boston Red Box. Cleveland m- dians and Cincinnati Reds. It was strange indeed that Babe should single out the lone home run he hit off Cournbe as "the one that gave me my greatest setisfaction- oven greater than tbs ones I hit off Hub Prueit. Willie Sherrie! or Charley Root.” Coumbe and Ruth came up to the Red 50x together in 1914. Tnc two didn't get along from the start. After several weeks Coumbe wss sold to the Indians. but the bad ‘eeiings between the twe still existed. "I never learned why, but he wss obsessed with one thought- and that was to show ms up," Bebe once told the story. "When- ever we played against the In- dians and I wss slated in pitch. Coumbs would ask Pee Fohi. the Cleveland manager. to let him pitch. I opposed him three times in i015 and '10, and whipped airs ' on all three him out twice. "We played the Indians one day in 1919. They were involved in a tight pennant-race with tne Ghciago White Box. I was an out fielder by that time. Cleveland opened up s big lesd but we kept inning we trailed by three runs. We loaded the bases in our half. and I came to bet. "Coumbe rushed otf the bench and pleaded with Fbhl to put him in. lie insisted he knew how to Ditch la me. HO bflfltd that I had never hit a home run off him. Fohl gave in-end sent him in to pitch. I picked the first pisch for s grand-slam home run to win the same. Tbs next day Coumo: was on his way to the minors and Fohl was released." Ruth met Ooumbe again in the spring of 1922 in an exhibition game. Coumbe was with Cincir- nati. “Yep. old Ooumibe was out there °l i116 mound." Babe chuckled ‘and the fire was still in his eye. l-Ie was all set to get even for that ‘lucky’, home run I hit off hlrn three years sgo. “Well. I banged three home runs off him. . . ." Ruth related. "That was the last game Oournbe pitch. ed for the Reds. He was handed his release the next day." _ Fans llonor Sports Rotund Raconteur TORONTO, Aug.

Some time ago there appeared in this column a statement re the trotter Jackie C. 2:11, which had been raced under the name of Les Watts. In writing it wo had in mind the fact that a United States owner had raced this horse at Batavie Downs in the fall of 194d and started him undn- the fictitious name of Lee Watts, a trotter supposedly owned by him. sired by Lee Winans, dam Miss Bell Watts. Afterwards he ship- ped his three horse stable to Tor- onto, giving the name of Lee Watts to the Customs officials as the trotter Jackie C. This horse was afterwards disposed of to a Canadian purchaser and we learn that the said purchaser did not have any idea. that the horse was otherwise then represented. Later when he advertised him for sale he was still confident that the horse was Lee Watts. since then the United States ‘rrotting As- sociation has discovered that Lee Watts is a ringer and his name is Jackie O. 2:11.. In our eum- ming up of the transaction we mentioned that the man who did the ringing would be barred from U.S.T.A. tracks as that is the only penalty for ringing. ‘This had no reference to the Csnedien purchaser of Lee Watts. We are glad to make this statement es we have no desire to cast any reflection on the Canadian pur- chaser, who no doubt was put to a great deal of expense srnd in- convenience. _ A MEETlNG OF THE .
