Bogart's Golf Weird, But Good Enough to Dethrone Brownell Bobby Brownell had another of his golf titles taken from him yesterday and he probably is having difficulty explaining thte one. In the 36-hole final of the Washington Golf and Countrv Club Invitation tournament Brownell missed only five greens while his opponent, Ralph Bo gart, was spraying his tee shots and scrambling all afternoon. But when the match ended on the 35th hole, Bogart was the winner, 3 and 1. The defeat left Brownell with only one championship, the Dis trict Amateur, which he has won nine times and will defend in September. He didn’t defend his Middle-Atlantic title and he and Bogart were defeated in theii recent bid for another Belle Haven four-ball championship. In fact. Bogart’s win yesterday was the first for either this year. Bogart having lost his Maryland State Amateur title a week ago. Bogart Gets Tough. Brownell appeared on the way to his third straight champion ship in the WGCC tournament at the end of nine holes in the morning round when he held a 3-up margin on his business partner and clubmate from Chevy Chase. Bogart got tough coming in, however, and fired a four-under-par 31 to grab the lead, 1 up. Bogart won the first hole of the afternoon when he almost chipped in for an eagle, halved the par 3 second and then as tonished the gallery with a suc cession of wild tee shots that kept him scrambling the rest of the way. He sliced his drive on No. 3, hooked into the trees on No. 4, sliced again on No. 5, hooked on 6. 8,9, 10 and 11; sliced into the trap on No. 13 and hooked down the hill on the treacherous par 3 No. 14. In spite of that performance Bogart had four birdies on the front nine. He also had four bogeys and was still 1 up at the turn. Brownell shot straight pars except for his birdie on the par 5 fourth until he bogied No. 10 with three putts. Brownell Blows Up. Brownell evened the match for the second time during the afternoon with a par on the 14th and then went to pieces. He picked up after his drive on the par 5 15th sliced into the rough, a brassie shot buried in a creek bank and a recovery shot rolled back into the water. Bogart was 30 feet from the hole in two strokes. Bogart sank a 2-footer for a birdie win on the 16th and the match ended on the 17th when Brownell failed to clear the trees on an attempted short cut. shot into the creek again, tossed out and picked up two shots later. Bogart also won this event in 1951. The only previous winner besides the two finalists yester day is Claude Wild of the host club, who prevailed in 1956, the first year of the tournament.

Dean Stone scattered nine hits, in the second game to capture his fifth game against one loss Wright Replaces Sievers. Mickey Vernon accumulated 11 hits in 21 attempts against the Orioles to raise his average to the .300 level, but there was a disconcerting note when Harris was forced to bench Roy Sievers. Sievers has made only two hits in his last 30 tries, striking out 11 times. Harris hasn’t abandoned hope that Roy will get back on the beam, but after Roy failed to get the ball out of the infield for 13 straight times Bucky benched him in the second game. Tom Wright took over and slammed a triple and single. The Senator wrapped up the first game in the first two in nings, scoring six runs off Duane Pillette and Mike Blyzka. Suc cessive singles by Eddie Yost, Pesky. Vernon and Jim Busby staked them to two runs in the first inning and they added four in the second when Ed Fitz- Gerald and Marrero walked.

The Orioles got their lone run oil Marrero in the eighth after Runnels fumbled Bobby Young’S' grounder. He came around on Bill Hunter’s single, Ed Waitkus’ grounder and Cal Abrams’ out field fly. Baltimore grabbed a 1-0 lead in the first inning of the second game when Abrams hit a dis puted double to the leftfield cor ner, moved to third on Jim Brideweser’s grounder and scored after Sam Mele filed to ! Umphlett. Yost’s Homer Ties Score. Yost tied the score in the sixth when he pumped a Bob Chakales pitch into the left field stands. With one down in the seventh, Chakales walked Wright and Umphlett. When he threw two wide ones to Joe Tip ton, Chakales was yanked and Howie Fox replaced him. Fox fired two more wide ones to Tip iton, filling the bases, and Stone boomed a double to left, scoring Wright and Umphlett. Singles by Yost and Pesky gave the Sen ators three more runs in* the inning and a 6-1 edge. Singles by Dick Kryhoski and Vem Stephens plus an error by Runnels gave the Orioles their other run in the eighth.

We played the kid out of po sition —used him at halfback, quarterback, every place—last year. He sacrificed a lot to help us win games, but he’s that kind, a good team player. , “The Redskins ought to keep him at end,” Bryant continued. “He can catch the ball and he s fast, much faster than you’d think. He’ll get a lot of yard age for them there.” Along with George Marshall, president of the Redskins. Sportscaster Jim Gibbons and Golf Pro Wiffy Cox, Bryant was to be a gtiest today at the Touchdown Club’s weekly lunch eon. He was Marshall’s week end guest.

He plans to go to West Point to , visit with Carney Leslie, one of his assistants when he coached ; at Maryland in 1945.
