Close Matches Today
Due in Mid-Atlantic
After Routine Start
By Caspar Nannes
Star Staff Corr»»pond«nt
BALTIMORE, July 28. The
Middle Atlantic Grass Court ten
nis championships enter the in
teresting stage today with sev
eral close matches scheduled at!
the Baltimore Country Club this:
afternoon.
The star-studded field, headed
by Gardner Mulloy, first-ranking
American, and Mervyn Rose of
Australia, top - seeded foreign
player, went through a routine
opening day yesterday.
The only seeded player to fall
by the wayside was Rafael
Ortego of Mexico, rated fourth
in the foreign seedings. The Mex
ican Davis Cup player was beat
en in straight sets, 6—4, 6—4,
by Robin Willner, former Uni
versity of California star at Los
Angeles. Willner, who beat Hal
Burrows this year at Little Rock,
Ark., had too powerful a service
and net game for Ortega.
Top Matches Today.
Top matches today will be
Grant Golden of Chicago, seeded
No. 7, against Fred Hagist of
San Francisco: Burrows of Char
lottesville, Va., against Sid
Schwartz of New York, and Cliff
Mayne of San Francisco vs.
Clyde Wilderspin of Austra
lian Davis Cup team.
In yesterday’s best match Bur
rows beat Kosei Kamo of Japan.
Burrows won the first set easily,
6—2. In the second the Virgin
ian went ahead to 7—6. 40—30,
on his own service. He followed
his delivery to the net for the
match point, but was passed
cleanly down the line by the
Japanese star.
Kamo seemed to take heart
from that shot, for his ground
strokes now took on more speed
and he rushed the net to sweep
through the next two games to
win. 9—7.
Japanese Puts Up Battle.
Burrows went ahead, 4—2, in
the third set, but the steady
Japanese fought bitterly for
every point. The Virginia star
also proved to be something of
a battler, for he saved two games
on his service when down, o—4o.
The most exciting game, and
best played of the contest, was
the last one, with the sun down
and the shadows making the ball
hard to see. Kamo, by dint of
two Burrows’ double faults and
a winning drive, reached o—4o.
However, Burrows brought the
game back to deuce. After
reaching add several times, but
failing to get the winning point,
Burrows finally took the two
points on a passing shot and a
forced error to win, 6—2.
None of the other seeded stars
exerted himself yesterday.
Mulloy dropped six games in
his contest with Lawrence Bar
clay of Canada, Rose lost three
games to Bob Bortner of Rich
mond, Va., and Noel Brown of
Los Angeles, seeded No. 4, pol
ished off Jiro Yamagishi, one
time Japanese Davis Cup star,
6—2, 6—2. Tony Trabert of
Cincinnati, seeded No. 2, drew
a bye and makes his first appear
ance today.
Washington area players fared
well •. in their opening matches.
Fred Kovaleski, seeded No. 8,
did not have much trouble with
Dever Hobbs of Providence, R. 1.,
winning. 6—2, 6—l. Kovaleski
faces Don Flye of Tacoma,
Wash., today.
Welsh in Good Form.
Barney Welsh of Rockville,
Md., perennial Washington stand
out, was in exceptionally good
form against the Mexican Davis
Cupper, Joaquin Reyes. Welsh
led all the way in the first set
on service. He broke through
Reyes in the seventh game for
a 5—3 lead and then took his
own delivery to wind up the set,
6—3.
In the second set, Barney
missed some drives as Reyes
gained a 4—2 lead. At this point,
Welsh got his deep forehand
under control and, combining it
with smashing first serves, won
four games in a row for the set
and match.
Ted Rogers, former National
Junior champion, was pressed to
B—7 in his first-round encounter
with Hugh Sweeney of Los
Angeles, but took the next set
without the loss of a game.
Rogers meets Jacques Grigry of
Los Angeles today.

By tha Associated Press
NEW YORK, July 28. —Rex
Layne, once regarded as a real
title threat among heavyweight
boxers, has been dropped entirely
from the rating list issued
monthly by Nat Fleischer, editor
of Ring Magazine.
For the first time in two years
Layne is missing from the first
10 heavyweights in the list pub

among light-heavyweights, and
Randy Sandy of New York to
No. 10 among middleweights.

Fellow Townsmen Tell Hogan
He Has Reached Objective
By tha Associated Press
FORT WORTH, Tex., July 28.
—Ben Hogan, the scrawny kid
who told his mother 24 years
ago, “I’m going to be the great
est golfer in the world,” was in
formed by his fellow townsmen
yesterday that he had accom
plished that objective.
The man who won the Mas
ters, National Open and British
Open within a period of three
months and was hailed by many
as the finest golfer in history,
choked up a little as he received
the acclaim of more than 600
persons at an appreciation
luncheon.
He was praised not only as a
champion of golf, but as a man
with deep religious faith and a
great sense of sportsmanship.
It was Lacy Boggess, former
president of Colonial Country
Club where Hogan has long been
Cincinnatian Surprises
In Western Women's Golf
By the Associated Press
CINCINNATI, July 28.—One
of the hottest shooting fields in
the tournament’s history started
match play today in quest of the
Women’s Western amateur golf
championship.
It took an 84 to get into the
championship flight, a tie for low
in the tourney’s 53 years.
The surprise winner of the
qualifying medal was Mrs. Burt
Weil of Cincinnati. She is a
49-year-old expert of the links
who has won the Cincinnati city
championship 11 times and the
Ohio Title three times.
Mrs. Weil, playing in only her
third Women’s Western ama
teur, was only one over par as
she fired a 76 in blistering heat
yesterday.
The draw placed her against
Claire Doran of Cleveland in the
start of match play today.
Polly Riley of Fort Worth,
Tex., the defending Women’s
Western champion, finished only
a stroke behind Mrs. Weil and
she drew Jean Hopkins of Cleve
land as her first-round opponent.
Among eight players with 78s
was Mrs. Maurice Glick of Bal
timore, who meets Mrs. Dolly
McCarthy of Cincinnati in the
first round. In with 79 was
Mary Ann Downey of Baltimore,
matched against Mrs. Harold
Bycott of Wheeling, W. Va.

Equipment Manager Kelly

identifying players, already has

Ben’s expressed determination
to conquer the world of golf.
“When Ben was 16, his mother
said to him one day, ‘Why don’t
you give up golf and get a regu
lar job like your brother’ Ben
answered, ‘No, I’m going to be
the greatest golfer in the world,”
Boggess related. “He practiced
hour upon hour, he worked until
his hands were bruised and sore,
he kept his objective ever before
him despite some of the crudest
breaks a man ever had. and to
day Ben has accomplished what
he set out to do: Be the greatest
golfer in the world.”
Dr. Granville Walker, pastor
of the University Christian
Church of which Ben and his
wife Valerie are members, paid
tribute to Hogan as “the man
who has been the sort of person
who could make this record.”
Hogan already has returned
to the golf course. Sunday he
practiced at Colonial course and
yesterday he was at Rivercrest
getting his game back in shape.
He leaves August 7 for a series
of exhibitions.

Tobash Appears Only Golfer
Satisfied With Pro-Am Score
By Merrell Whittlesey
Steve Tobash, a sergeant at
Fort Meade, who is a member
of the Middle Atlantic PGA and
has charge of the golf ,shop at
the Fort Meade Club, apparently
was the only satisfied golfer at
Indian Spring yesterday in the
fifth annual tournament in
which pros played with mem
bers of the Federal Civic League.
Tobash, who soon is going to
use a furlough to go hunting for
a pro golf job in anticipation of
an Army discharge in March of
1954, tied Walter Romans of
Baltimore C. C. for low in the
pro sweepstakes with a one
under-par 68.
Tobash liked his round, which
included an eagle 3 on the par-5
lOtH where he hit the green with
a drive and four-iron and
dropped a 10-footer. Steve for
merly worked for Andy Gibson
in Baltimore.
Romans almost quit midway to
his 68 because he was so exas
perated with hitting green after
green within 8 feet of the cup,
but missing all the birdie putts.
But because he never has quit
nor turned in no card, he played
it out and finally dropped a 15-
footer on the last green for a
birdie 3, He birdied the first and
last holes and bogied the 13th
Bassler’s Streak Halted.
Charlie Bgssler’s winning streak
was stopped and he didn’t like
his 70 because of a two-stroke
penalty on the seventh for a
drive out of bounds. Bassler was
mildly peeved over the penalty,
claiming the ball was not out.
He drove onto the eighth tee
from the seventh and claimed
the out-of-bounds stakes did not
go that far.
Bill Markham, former assistant
at Woodmont and now the teach
ing pro at Mount Pleasant, was
4 under par after 11 holes but
had a mental lapse and went 4
over from that point for a 69.
He was mad.
Johnny Musser of All View
was three under for 14 holes
but went four over from there
for a 70. Johnny Bass finished
two over on the last four for a
70. Eddie Stevens of Fort Bel-
Voir was 2 under for 10 holes
but took 6 on the par 3 11th
and 5 on the par 3 14th for a
74. Nobody was happy. They
all wanted to play over the last
few holes.
Best Ball of 61.
Gibson and Sergt. Paul Wag
ner of the Baltimore Police won
the best ball play with a 61
while Bass and Russ Nichols of
Aberdeen and Musser and Jim
Toulan of Aberdeen had 625.
Low amateur was Bob Norton,
a Baltimore investigator with a
72. Charles Van Horn of the
Hyattsville Police had 78 for
second gross with Bud Englar,
a guest and Russ Nichols of
Aberdeen. A five-way tie at net
63 in the best ball play included
Paul Mosca of C. C. of Mary
land and Ben Campbell, retired
Metropolitan Police sergeant.
George Joray of the Metropol
itan Police had 89-2C—C3 to fig
ure in a five-way tie for low
net with four Baltimore golfers.
The next pro-amateur is Fri
day at Columbia, with today the
entry deadline, and Musser will
be host next Monday at All
View.
