Babe Didrikson Ruled Ineligible by Amateur Union

New Orleans reports that Mildred Babe Didrikson, famed Texas athlete, is declared ineligible for amateur competition by the Southern A A U after allegedly sanctioning the use of her name and photograph in a car advertisement. The A A U telegram to Di Benedetto said the sanction violated amateur rules. Didrikson and her manager dispute the claim and threaten legal action against the auto company if the ruling stands. The agency Ruthrauff and Ryan Inc says it had a release and permission from Didrikson and her manager to use her image. The case centers on whether Didrikson authorized the ad and its endorsement of a 1933 Dodge model.
