Who Won
P: A picked team of English women golfers: a match at Sunningdale with Glenna Collett and her U. S. associates, paying their own way abroad to play in the British championship, 8 1/2 points to 6 1/2.
P: The Des Moines, Iowa, baseball team of the Western League: the opening game of its home season; at night, on a field lighted by huge projectors from 90-ft. towers; beating Wichita, 13 to 6. Des Moines made four errors, Wichita none. Said Hugrie Nielsen, Des Moines shortstop: "It's easier to hit a curve by electric light." Said Lee Keyser, president of the Des Moines club, who thought up night-baseball to draw the fans who could not get away in the afternoons: "It was splendid . . . glorious. . . ."
P: The Brooklyn Robins: a baseball game with the New York Giants at the Polo Grounds, in which 41 hits were made and in which the winners made 11 runs in the second inning, the losers 9 in the third. Score: 19-15.
