Ha In recent years as te phenomen- al Texas athlete toured the country earning some $100,000 annually in golf tournaments and exhibitions, she constantly debated retirement. “I ought to give this stuff up and go back to George,” she fre- quently told her barnstorming com- panions. “I miss George, and our Toses.” After an examination last week in Beaumont, Tex., a doctor said the Babe may never be able to play competitive golf again. She is suffering from a malady of a malignant nature. The muscular daughter of a Nor- |; wegian ship’s carpenter blazed a fabulous career in diversified ath- letie accomplishment before she finally turned her full devotion to golf and set marks that-may never be matched. She was a double gold medalist in the 1932 Olympic games, a standout basketball and baseball player and a potential champion in numerous other sports. But she | always has regarded herself as first and foremost a housewife.

One day in St. Louis George looked the Babe in the eyes and said, “We get married on Friday or we're through.” They married Frida: iy. At first they lived in Denver's an idea of the Babe's. Later they they bought the Tampa Golf and Country Club. There they set up housekeeping in a pink stucco, rebuilt caddy house near the putting green. The!
