thing that makes a winner stand

thing that makes a winner stand
apart.
Bogart Wins Third ID. c. Title.
Ralph Bogart is one of that kind.
Ralph isn't the best amateur golfer
in the land by couple of miles and
his record in the national amateur
won't win him any medals, but the
tall boy from Chevy Chase has that
something which brings home the
bacon. 1t has brought Ralph an
other District amateur champion
ship-his third in as many tries.
When Ralph put the bee on portly
Parker Nolan on Kenwood's 18th
margin he tied George Voigt's record
OF winning the District champion
ship three times in q row. George
won it in 1925, 1925 and 1927. Ralph
won it in 1899, 1910 and 1941. So no
one can call Ralph any fy-by-night
golfer, who wins one and then van
ishes into the limbo Of forgotten
divot fingers. The 21-year old
husky is good golfer by any
yardstick.
You don't fight your way back
from a first nine deficit against a
smoothly powerful stroker sucn as
Parker Nolan unless you are q good
golfer. And also you don't get a
brace Of brides in a row to win the
match unless you happen to have ii
with the chips down. That's what
Ralph did.
There will be those who will say
Ralph was lucky. That had Parker
been putting with even a milk
maids touch he would have been
away out in front. That fortune
reached down and kissed Bogart or
the 18th hole of their final match
when the defending champ fiuns
two shots far off line into the wood,
and each time the woods flung then
back into the course. But thai
doesn't take into account the hall
he got on that same hole. or III,
chip shot that upset the apple car
on the 14th, with the match al
square. And the two brides thai
followed.
Ralph Had 1t In the Clutch.
Yes, Ralph had it with the chlpl
down. He fought back from tn,
brink of defeat with a rally ths
orooked no opposition. At the enr
ne had a brace of pars for a one
under-par 10 and no one who saw
him play the crucial stretch mole
from the 11th through the 18th vii
deny that he would have sotIeI
