A founded Flown Over Atlantic to Home Hospitals headlines of golf in Chicago recently, where she continued to hit the ball incredible distances, from 260 to 290 yards. It has been exactly 12 years since Babe startled big crowds in the 1932 Olympic games, held in Los Angeles. The Babe was then entered in the hurdles, the high jump and the javelin throw. She wanted to enter three other events but she was balked by Olympic rules that limit the number of competitions for any single person. Just after the 1932 Olympics were over, I played golf with the Babe. Her long game was magnificent and her short game a nightmare. At that time she could neither chip nor putt with a 20 handicap player but she was driving over 250 yards and playing 170 yard holes with a mashie or a six iron. The Babe has come a long way in her golf since 1932, although her long game is still the feature of her play where she can keep pace with most of the longer hitters among the pros. Her wrestler husband, George Zaharias, displacement 270 pounds, is lucky to get within 40 yards of any tee shot his wife may happen to hit. The Babe weighed 125 pounds in 1932 and she is now up around 150, but there isnt half an ounce of fat on her frame. All Around Phenomenon Here are a few things Babe Didrikson could do on her way to the spotlight: Throw a baseball 315 feet, on a par with any good big league outfielder. Bun, jump and chuck the javelin in record time and measurements. Carry a football through a good line and throw a forward pass accurately 50 yards. Swim and dive within a fraction of championship standards.

She has already turned in a 66 at golf, but her short game has never had quite the steadiness that her long game carried, with power on a par with the best of the pros and far beyond the average good amateur. Babe Didriksons power and control comes from an amazing amount of coordination, remarkable timing and two strong, sinewy hands and wrists that are beyond the average strong male. You might ask a famous golf pro about a friendly scuffle, where the Babe nailed him with a short right hook tp the body and he had to cancel his golf engagemen for the next week. In any event It is good to have the Babe back with us again in competition. She is the most remarkable competitive proposition her sex has ever known if you care to take in 10 or a dozen fields of play. The main pity is that she scattered her talents into too many directions, in place of concentrating on two or three games.
