5 S 17-Year-Old Girl in U. S. Golf Final : PORTS. ¢ PATIY BERG FACES VARE FOR HONORS Tears Gain Start in Game for Minneapolis Lass. Holds State Crown. BY PAUL MICKELSON, Assoclated Press Sports Writer, INNEAPOLIS. August 31.— Three years ago, a freckled faced girl of 14 cried so hard one night that her father re- lented and said: “Oh, all right then, honey, we'll let Fou play golf.” Today, the same girl, Patty Berg of Minneapolis, faced the famous Mrs. Glenna Collett Vare in the 36-hole % final battle for the women's golf cham- pionship of the United States. ‘Their imaginations elready stretched by the picturesque little redhead, a record home-town gallery of 6,000 was expected to watch the championship duel over the rolling fairways of Patty’s home course, the Interlachen Country Club, where Bobby Jones won his final national open title five years ago. Glenna Heavy Favorite. GL!:NNA. winner of the champion- ship five times since 1922 and runner-up on two other occasions, was the big favorite. Even the home-town folks hardly dared to think that Patty, competing in her first national show, could stop the great former champion. But they didn’t think Patty wouid do it yesterday either when she made & gallant comeback to defeat Charlotte Glutting of West Orange, N. J., after three holes of overtime play with straight par golf and a steel nerve that amazed them. Mrs. Vare already was in the finals with a 2-and-1 conquest over an- other Minneapolis girl, 18-year-old Beatrice Barrett,,after a hard strug- gle won by spectacular approaches when Patty reached the sixtenth hole 2 down to the long-driving New Jer- sey star. She won the sixteenth with & par and they came up to the final. Patty was one down and off below 8 step bank with her seconl. Her future looked dark. But up she step- ped, pitched 25 feet short of the pin and then dropped her putt for a birdie to square the match. She won the twenty-first with a par 3 as Miss Glutting misjudged her tee and ap- proach shots and conceded the hole and match. Wept for Membership. ATTY'S father, Herman L. Berg, a gain commissioner, told of Patty’s golf “history.” “Three years ago,” he related, *I bought & junior golf membership for my boy, who is three years younger than Patty. She heard about it and asked me to buy her one, too. But I refused. She cried herself to sleep that night, so the next day I bought her a membership, too. I loaned her four of my clubs—a mashie, brassie, niblick and a putter, and she started nr In her first important tournament, | with her daddy’s clubs, Patty qualified | in the Minnesota State with a score of 101.

PERRY UNDER WAY NI DEFENS [Prince of Tennis Opposes Fowler in First Round of U. S. Tourney. | By the Associated Press. | Foms:s’r HILLS, N. Y., August 31. —Frederick John Perry of Eng- land, prince of the tennis courts, sets out today in de- fense of his American championship. The program for today was the same as arranged for yesterday, as far as the men’s championships are concerned, and the appearance of the pipe- smoking Englishman, a favorite to re- tain his crown, was expected to lure large droves of the tennis faithful through the turnstiles. The matches were rained out yesterday. Thirty-two second-round matches were scheduled, along with the first- round meeting between Christian Boussus of France and Robert Harmon and the unfinished duel between Laird Watt of Canada and Lieut. R. M.| Watt, jr., of New York, who divided | four sets on Thursday when play was called on account of darkness. Eighty-two Matches On. TH! entire second round of the women’s singles will be run off and the national veteran's tourna- ment will get under way, with Ray- mond B. Bidwell, the defender, lead- ing & fleld of 64. The staggering total of 82 matches is planned for the day. The appeargnce of Perry, however, playing against Arthur 8. Fowler of Pleasantville, N. Y., was expected to be the high light of the program. An- other feature was the meeting of Roderich Menzel of Czechoslovakia and Richard Norris Willlams, 2d, the latter winner of the tournament 21 years ago. Katherine Stammers, the most comely and perhaps the most adept of the English woman forces, and Sid- England with the Davis Cup team, but who watched the debacle from the sidelines, alsoare due to take the court. Mrs. Sarah Palfrey Fabyan of Brookline will oppose Katherine Win- throp and Donald Budge, the red- headed Californian, will meet Donald Hawley of New York. e . TIGERS BATTLE AZTECS.

E HOPES to make s good showing in his first national amateur championship, but he isn't going to be worried by the presence of the men who to him have been only names in newspaper beadlines. Frankie Strafaci, the dimin- utive Italian who won the public links championship a month ago, is going to Cleveland late next week unawed by the big reputations and big names that will be out there trying for Law- son Little's amateur crown. But before he goes, Frankie, 134 pounds of lightning-fast golfer, is going to take the golf courses around ‘Washington apart and spend almost a week under the watchful eye of Wiffy Cox, his first tutor. Frankie arrived in the Capital yesterday with Wifly and immediately went to Kenwood, where a match was arranged for him today, with other matches to be played next week being arranged. The 5-foot 7-inch black-haired lad, who cap- tained the New Utrecht High School team and who can play his best “when the checks are down,” according to Wifty, views the coming national championship as a big adventure, but meanwhile he is looking for transpor- tation to Cleveland. He will leave Washington Thursday or Friday, if he can find some one with a spare seat in a west-bound autdmobile. “I know it's going to be tough out there at Cleveland,” Frankie said, “but I hope I can play well enough to make a good showing. If I hit the ball well I know I will have some good matches.” He’s a Money Player. "IF HE hits the ball well some of the | boys are going to get a rude shock,” Wifty chimed in. “This kid can put the pressure on and keep it on. He is used to playing in the dough in tough matches up home (Brooklyn is home to Wiffy) and being up there in the big time won't bother him. You know, 20 bucks is a lot of dough to a kid, but I've seen Frankie go fast Mrs. Glenna Collett Vare, the other finalist and favorite, is shown putting in the match that put her in the title round. She is bidding for her sixth national crown. IN CHESS CIRCLES BY FRANK HE international team match at | Warsaw, Poland rapidly is nearing completion.

ITH Virginia’s horse show schedule riddled by post- ponements due to the in- fantile paralysis scare, the Colvin Run meeting this Saturday offers the only immediate prospect for railbirds who like to take their sport in the Old Dominion. The Fairfax show, which usually ends .the association schedule in this area, has been set over from Septem- ber 6 and 7 to October 4 and 5; War- renton follows on the next week end instead of holding to its Labor day dates.
