Champ Always Backed byOldTerp Boxing Star
Public Soon Forgets Ring Loser, Says Alperstein, Pulling for Louis
By Lewis F. Atchison
"I’m pulling for Joe Louis to
win Wednesday night," said the
smiling young businessman, plac
ing a record on the turntable
"I'm always sorry to see a cham
pion lose, because he's forgotten
so quickly.”
Anybody with one eye could
gee the gent behind the counter
was an authority on such nat
ters, for a decade ago Benny
Alperstein, Maryland's crack
lightweight, ruled both the
Southern Conference and Na
tional Collegiate Athletic Asso
ciation 135-pounders with a pair
of mahogany mittens. But a
younger generation asks, "Alper
stein? Who’s he?”
A Wisconsin protessor recently
suggested that the Badgers drop
boxing, and we thought a lad
who had been through the null
could best defend the sport.
Coach Eddie La Fond at Cath
olic U. or Maryland's Heinie
Miller could offer some sound
arguments for the game, but
being coaches they would be ac
cused of prejudice.
“A good coach, who has an
Interest in his boys’ welfare and
good equipment, make boxing a
good college sport,” Benny said.
“If it hadn't been for boxing
end the insistence of my older
brother Marty I’d never have
gone to college, so you can un
derstand why I’m in favor of it.”
He was right on that score,
for Alperstein was a tough little
kid growing up in Baltimore. He
counted the day lost that went
by without one knuckle duel, al
though, oddly enough, he'd had
the gloves on officially only once
or twice before enrolling at
Maryland.
Benny naci tne rignr coacn as
a freshman at Maryland, a lieu
tenant by the name of Jack Har
mony, who now wears a colonel's
silver eagles on his shoulders.
Alperstein fibbed a bit about l'is
record to impress the coach, tell
ing him he'd had 12 amateur
bouts and won 11.
"All right, let's see you shadow
box,” replied Harmony. 'Vhen
Benny gave him a puzzled look
the officer simply grinned and
turned him over to Lyman Mc
Aboy. his assistant.
"Mas was a great coach” Al
perstein recalled. “I learned

quickly under him, because every
time I made a mistake he bopped
me."
Heinie Miller succeeded Iiar
mony the following year, and
wanted to know who was the
skinny kid working out by him
self in the corner.
"He's going to be one of your
regulars,” McAboy told him.
Sure enough, Benny got the
only vacancy on a veteran team, ;
replacing "Spike'’ Webb in the
135-pound class.
Alperstein lost only two douis
in dual competition and one was
plain robbery. Some observers
thought he was stepping out of j
his class when Miller named him
on a team that included such i
stars as Tvan Nedomatsky, Mike
1 Lombardo. Ed Shegogue. Tom j
Birmingham and Johnny Gorm
ley, but Benny turned out to be
one of the best.
Benny one year fought at three
different weights in as many
weeks, ranging from feather
weight to welterweight. In 1937,
he won the National Intercol
legiate lightweight title and the
next year he dropped down to
129 pounds and won both the
Southern- Conference and Na
tionals. In 1939, he again was
Conference lightweight king.
He never will forget a bout
with Maynard Harlow, Virginia's
bruising 145-pounder.
"We were in a comer and I was
weaving and dodgng, listening
to the leather whistle over my
head, when Harlow suddenly
grabbed hold of me and said,
'C'mon Ben. let’s go out to the
middle of the ring where I can
get to you.’ We did and he hit
me in the midsection with a
right that hung my stomach on
my backbone.”
in the 1937 Conference tour
nament finale Jack Kneipp of
Duke smote Benny on the bridge
of his nose so hard he thought
it was broken, but Leo Carleo
of South Carolina gave him the
hardest clout he ever received—
right on the button. Those were
about the only three solid olows
Benny took during his : hree
years in the college ring.
Benny may „ry his hand at
refereeing college bouts next
winter.1 After all, it's pretty hard
to sit and watch a couple of
young bantams going after one
another when you're used to be
ing on the inside of the ropes.
Meanwhile, he's pulling for ihe
champion in Wednesday's fight,
although he's wrong about the
public forgetting so quickly. No
body who saw Alperstein end the?
great Maryland ring teams of
the late '30s in action can forget
them.

State Amateur Should Outlive
Bogart's Tourney-Killing Jinx
By Merreli wmrtiesey
There is no reason to believe that
' the Maryland Amateur Golf cham
pionship will not be held next year
no reason except that Ralph Bogart
j will be the defending champion, and
' Bogart is a tournament killer. After
I he wins them, they stop holding ’em.
The 28-year-old Chevy Chase Club
shotmaker scored his most import
j ant triumph with some of the best
| golf of his career yesterday when he
; defeated Jim Gardner of Washing
ton G&CC, 1 up, In the 36-hole
final at Woodholme in Pikesville.
But he’s hoping he won't put the
Bogart hoodoo on the Old Line State
title.
It all started in the Congressional
Invitation in the late 30’s. Bogart
won the tournament and it hasn’t
been held since. A year or so later
when the Grosner Match Play Pro
Amateur became one of the most at
tractive events on the local calendar,
Bogart and Lew Worsham won It
and now its a dead duck.
Bogart reached his peak in the
Chevy Chase Invitation. The elite:
event had been held for 31 consecu-!
tive years but Bogart won it in 1941
and racked it up. It’s now just a
memory on the District schedule.
In 1946, Bogart and Bobby Brown
ell won the Bannockburn Invita
tion. That too, was missing from the,
schedule last year. The same sea
son he beat the pros for the first
time by winning the Eastern Shore
Open at Chestertown. You guessed
it, it's off the schedule now. Last
year Bogart won the Kenwood In
vitation and a few months later
Kenwood lost half its golf course
and thus didn’t have a tournament
this year.
Bogart's record is not 100 per
cent. He has won a few titles that
defied the Bogart jinx and were
held again, such as the District
Amateur, which he won three times,
and the Pine Valley Invitation, plus
the District Junior and schoolboy
championships of his teen-age days.
For a while yesterday the State
Amateur title threatened to get
away from him. Bogart had played
in it a number of times, been to the
semifinals twice and won the medal
Won bT the father and son team of J. M
and Bill DifTee with lK.t-29—154.

low might repeat his Indian Spring
Invitation triumph over Bogart.
But Ralph won the three holes
back in a hurry on the second nine
and with a three-undef-par 35,%took
a 1-up lead into the lunchtime
intermission.
Baltimoreans, who had ignored
the State Amateur final in the
morning round, turned out in sur
prising numbers for the afternoon
session and they were treated to
sub-par golf by both. Bogart built
a three-up lead and saw it reduced
to one by some great clutch play
by Gardner, but Ralph didn’t let
the last hole of that lead get away
and won, 1 up.
Bogart was three under par for
the day and at one point had four
birdies in a six-hole stretch and
gained only one hole on Gardner.
Although only five Washington golf
ers qualified for the title flight
Bogart beat three of them, Ray
Swearingen, Volney Burnett and
Gardner, en route to the title.
Bogart outhlt Gardner, who is
known for his prodigious driving,
by almost 10 yards a hole in the
final, which was quite a change
from Bogart’s semifinal with Bill
Collins, the Baltimore muhy player.
Bogart admitted that Collins, who
is building quite a reputation for his
clouting out hit him (Bogart) by
about 40 yards a hole.
Bogart succeeded Bobby Brownell,
his business partner, as champion.
Brownell did not defend.

Scott, Palmer Share Laurels
In Potomac River Regatta
By Malcolm Lamborne, Jr.
The National Capital Power Boat
Regatta, which Is the Washington
Junior Board of Commerce's first
plunge Into big time racing, is here
to stay.
Drivers from many sections oi
the country who competed in yes
terday’s speed show on the muddy
Potomac agreed the Jaycees had
staged a top-notch event. Park
police estimated 25,000 viewed the
races frpm East Potomac Park, the
Virginia shore and from anchored
pleasure craft.
Washington’s own Joe Palmer, 38
year-old seafood merchant stole
the day-long show. In his blue
hulled Tommy Boy, Palmer swept
the 135-cubic-inch hydroplane class
with 800 points. Then he came
out against the supposedly much
faster 225-cubic-inch hydroplanes
and took them to the cleaners, too.
This gave Palmer a 1,600-point
total for the day. It was not until
Race Committee Chairman Jack
Anadale compiled the totals at Cap
ital Yacht Club later that Joe
learned he was not taking home the
mammoth Jayces prize for high
scoring driver of the regatta.
Scott Piles Up 1,692 Points.
It went to the renowned Vic
Scott of Forest Hills, Long Island,
ace outboard driver, whose picture
has appeared in all sorts of period
icals by virtue of smoking a certain
brand of cigarette.
Scott, winner of last year’s Al
bany-New York outboard marathon,
rolled up his points by winning
class C hydroplanes, placing second
in class F hydroplanes and lourth
in class B. This gave him 1,696
points and the prize.
Palmer, who gunned his boat at
an average heat speed of 51.154
miles per hour, was up against such
225 talent as Joe Van Blerrk of
Freeport, N. Y., last year's national
class champ, and John Francis of
Hickory, N. C. Van Blerck dropped
out of the first heat with a bioken
piston, but It looked as though
Palmer had him anyway.
When he was all finished, Palmer
obliged photographers with a trial
run past the Coast Guard vessel
that served as committee boat. He
then blew out his propellor shaft,
and it took a fine prop with it to
the bottom of the Potomac. *
Family ouiDoaras score.
Dean Worcester of Silver Spring,
Md., lost a prop, too. He won the
Class C. outboard hydroplane first
heat in Bottoms Up against such
talent as Scott. In the second heat,
Worcester, minus the essential prop,
dropped out and Scott went on to
win. Ike Hale, Washington's 51
year-old outboard ace. placed second
in the finals in his The Senator.
Hudson Moses, general chairman
of the regatta, proved that (1) he's
a capable regatta manager and (2)
an equally able driver in the Class
C outboard racing runabouts. He
won this event in his Miss Daphne.
The show wound up with three
events not sanctioned by the Am
erican Power Boat Association, but
dedicated to the little man. They
were for family outboard runabouts
and service inboards, . with the
Washington Marine Trade Associa
tion Duttine un the prizes.
The winners were Harold Wood,
Falls Church, family outboards
under 10 horsepower; Charles E.
Wingo, Baltimore, family outboards
under 25 horsepower, and Roy
Bagley, Washington. Class E service
inboards under 225 horsepower.
Wood was one of two drivers not
disqualified. The rest of the pack
some 10 strong—went around the
wrong buoy.
Jim Beattie, president of the
Junior Board, awarded prizes at
Capital Y. C., which served as host
at a reception. Miss Barbara Hobel
man, local swimming star, assisted.
Silver Spring Retains
Lead in County Loop
A forfeit enabled Silver Spring
to hold its lead in the Montgomery
County Park League yesterday, but
Cissel Saxon moved a game closer
to the league leaders by defeating
Glen Echo twice, 2-1 and 5-3.
Myron Cowell split with the Elks,
winning the nightcap, 4-1, after
losing, 10-8, while in a single game
Kensington Fire Department rallied
to defeat VFW. 12-9.
D. C. Weight Lifters Score
Thomas Toliver in the 132-pound
class and James Bradford, heavy
weight, were Washington weight
lifters who won a chance to com
pete in the Olympic tryout finals
July 9 in New York in Eastern
trials in Baltimore yesterday. Both
finished second in their class.
West Fairfax Loop Busy
Two big innings helped Lorton
win its seventh straight in the
West Fairfax Senior League yes
terday, a 6-2 triumph over Lin
colnia. But Poland and Dale Lowe
contributed some heavy stickwork
as Chantilly twice defeated Burke,
16-2 and 9-2, while Forestville edged
Jermantown, 4-3. Centerville and
Vienna canceled.
Peake Hurls One-Hitter
Bill Peake’s one-hit shutout
pitching for Lee’s Tavern featured
the Prince Georges Suburban
League play as Lee's defeated Tri
angle, 3-0, in the second game of a
twin bill. Triangle won the first
8-5. Bladensburg defeated Snug

Locke's Winning Edge
Of 16 Shots Is One
Short of Record
■y «h* /Undated Pr«u
CHICAGO, June 21.—The boys
dusted off the record books today
after Bobby Locke captured the
Chicago Victory championship with
a 72-hole total of 206—18 strokes
under par and a margin over Ells
worth Vines of 16.
The chipping and putting wizard
from South Africa fired a final
round 66 over Midlothian’s par 35—
36—71 layout. He posted a pair of
65’s to break the course record In his
first two trips of the tournament
and added a third round 70.
His 16-stroke winning edge was
the best since 1945 when Ben Hogan
blasted 261 to beat Byron Nelson by
17 strokes in the Portland, Oreg.,
Open. Locke’s 266 was the second
best total of the season. Skip Alex
ander of Lexington, N. C., won the
1948 Tucson, Ariz., Open with 264.
Locke’s first two rounds tied with
the lowest halfway mark ever posted
in a PGA-sponsored major tourna
ment. Alexander fired 130 over the
first 36 holes at Tucson.
The 266 tally of the 30-year-old
Locke was the best ever carded in
the Chicago Victory meet. Hogan’s
270 last year was the previous record.
Vines’ 282 gave him second place
swag of $1,400. He had a final
round of 66. Alexander was third
with 70 for 283. Johnny Bulla of
Phoenix was fourth with a 71 for 284.
Grouped at 285 were George Fazio of
Conshocken, Pa., Jimmy Walkup of
Chicago, Dick Metz of Arkansas
City, Kans., and Jim Perrier of San
Francisco.
