(AP) The president of the Ladies Professional Golfers Association was in charge today as the second round of the Peach Blossom-Betsy Rawls Golf Tournament opened. Babe Zaharias of Tampa, who heads the touring pros, "led the field by three strokes. She toured the Spartanburg Country Club course in par 71 as the 54-hole event opened yesterday. Her performance was three strokes better than that of defending champion Louise Suggs of Atlanta, and Marlene Bauer of Sarasota, Fla.

The National Basketball Committee of United States and Canada, meeting last weekend in Kansas City, eliminated this free-throw "horror" for the 1954-55 season and has substituted what has been termed as the "bonus" foul shot rule. As Konstanty, Penson Combine on Mound By BEN OLAN Associated Press Sportswriter It was only a week ago that Manager Bucky Harris of the Wash Under the new "bonus" rule, all ordinary fouls the first 37 min utes of play call for one free throw. If it is made, the player gets an ington Senators said, "We don't look good until our pitchers round into form." extra free throw as a "bonus" for his accuracy; if missed, the ball is 12 tr i Yl 1 RIP BOSOX, 10-1 That not-too-startling prediction looked mighty good today as the Senators found themselves the Goodyear THEMES in play immediately. The "one-and-one" rule, in the books for the past two seasons, gave the extra free throw only if the first one was missed. Eoth the old and new rules call for two foul shots in the final three minutes of play.

The new "bonus" rule is being well received by almost every cage official in the country and everybody agrees that it will speed up the game and help to eliminate the many "petty fouls" which now pop up in every game. Also, more accurate foul shooting should result and we won't have to torture ourselves by watching the shooter calmly proud possessors of a five-game winning streak, due largely to the improved efforts of their mound corps. 1.00 Down The Nats have come a long way since they opened their exhibition 1.00 schedule with nine straight set A Week take a range-finding toss before he settles down to the business of backs.

Miss Ziske, the 19-year-old sensation who beat National Champion Mary Lena Faulk in the North and South Women's Amateur at Pinehurst, N.C., last week, posted the best score among the amateurs. Miss Faulk, the Thomasville, star fell from the top 20 with an 82. Sixth place was shared by Fay Crocker, Montevideo, Uruguay; Marilynn Smith, Wichita, Betty Hicks, Durham, N.C., Jackie Pung, Glasgow, and Alice Bauer Hagge, Sarasota, all with 76's.

The basketball moguls have already estimated that next season each foul will be icorth 1.4 points to the team fouled.

There'll certainly be more at stake on every foul handed out.

"There's going to be a greater emphasis on foul shooting and we should have faster games and less fouling. The nebonus rule is okay with me and I'm sure that the fans are going to appreciate it, too, once they've seen it put in use." Nantais, incidentally, thinks that the basketball rules are slowly drifting back to the rules which were in vogue about 10 years ago. "I wouldn't be too surprised to see the foul-shooting rules eventually go back to the way they were a few years ago," the popular redheaded cage pilot added. "I sure hope so, anyway, because for my money, you can't beat the basketball that used to be played back 10 or 15 years ago." Nantais should have lots of support with that statement.

AND, what do the officials have to say about the new ruling on foul shots? Here's what Dan Callaghan, president of the Windsor Basketball Referees' Association, has to say about the new "bonus" rule: "There's little doubt about it, the new "bonus" rule should give basketball a real boost next season.

I've talked with quite a few of the referees around town and we all agree that the game will be speeded up next season and that there'll be a marked improvement in foul shooting. The good foul shooter is going to be rewarded with two points every time he steps up to the free-throw line and players are going to be more careful about fouling their opponents." ican in the opening seconds of the mitment.

A third rule change, which has to do with the re-writing of the blocking-charging foul rule, will be interesting to observe in the future.

"The decision on such fouls still will be a matter of a referee's judgment," according to H. V.
