Fine Chonce TO Win

Take the amateur golfers OF the
town, tumble 'em in hat. then roll
'em out for public appraisal and
you'll find most discerning linksmen
agree that Roger Peacock has been
the best performer since Roland
Mackenzie and George Voigt, back
in the glamorous 20s. That's one
reason the golfers are gazing on
Rogers initial tournament appear
ance of 1941-in the District amateur
championship today with more
than usual interest. The main ques-
ton is whether even as accomplished
linksman as Peacock can come
back and win championship after
being out Of competition for such
stretch.
Rogers last competitive appear
ancc was in the spring two-ball
matches of the Maryland State Golf
Association, where he and Claude
Rippy dropped their title.
Not "CoId' in Golf Sense.

tourney around town this year, but

former Indian Spring member. were
licked in the final of a two-ball
tourney.
Winner of the District champion
ship in 1882. as a fresh-faced, grim
ming youngster, Peacock has grabbed
every title around this town and has
won a flock of invitation Journeys.
He has won the Middle Atlantic and
Maryland crowns. has set course
records right and left and has gone
farther in the national amateur
championship than any local entry
since Mackenzie and Voigt. Most
golfers agree that Peacock, between
1882 and 1910, was the best amateur
in this sector.
Out of Title Meet Since '36.
The big question remains: Can
he come back to win again? The
competition is much the same. al
though Ralph Bogart has improved
since Roger quit playing tournament
golf and Bogart happens to be the
champ. Rogers last appearance in
a District championship final was
in 1886 at Manor. where Bobby
Brownell licked him in the big
upset of that year. 1t started
Brownell on a victory streak that
has established the Manor lad as
the local amateur of the year.

Tall Ralph Bogart, the 21-year-
old with everything needed to be-
come world beater at golf. Is out
today with challenge to any gent
who feels he can lick the champ.
and deprive him of the District
amateur championship on which he
has had a monopoly now for a Two
year stretch.
Every one, of course, knew that
Ralph is the lad to lick III the
championship which opened today
at Kenwood. Yet there were doubt
ers. Ralph, some said, is an in
and-outer, youngster who can and
does whip any one on his good days.
And can be whipped by something
less than good golf on his bad days.
In other words the red light was
set against a third District cham
pionship for the tall Chevy Chase,
Army Navy and Indian Spring
youngster. Yes, he belongs to all
these clubs.
But the boys aren't sure that
Ralph won't repeat again. In fact
they were openly predicting that the
gent who knocks off the reigning
champ will have to clip par TO do it,
and that even that may not be good
enough. It's all because Bogart put
on a streak of par busting at Co
lumbia yesterday that had the rest
of the amateur field, and all the rs
professional entrants gasping along
in his wake trying to overhaul the
smoothly-geared 200-pound son oi
a Navy commander.
Bogart Scores SO.
All Ralph did was shoot Columbia
in SO whacks in a Middle Atlantic
P. G. A. pro-amateur tourney. AL
| the SO did was lead the entire field
and break par by stroke in the
biggest pro-amateur field OF the
current local links season. Ralph
played the mines in "a and IS. and
missed he said, five birdie puts oi
less than 8 feet. Such golf isn't
going to be denied. if he can produce
it in the title tourney at Kenwood
which started today. The only
question is: Has Bogart come on
his game too soon. and will he &c
stale in the championship?
The answer to that is obvious
No man or boy around town plays
more golf than Bogart. The big boy
is out on some golf course every DAY
and has been for many months past
If he was going stale he would shoot
I'D to rs or even 80. But he hasn
done that. And he seems to be get

but he also eclipsed the best pro
score by stroke. Rut Coffey. the

The top pro-amateur award went

play the mines in 35 and 80 for a So,
aided by Jesse's handicap of three
strokes. Gibson was second in the
pro sweeps with II, while Houghton

OUTDOORS With BILL Ae<ss"A~
Ocean City BIuefish Provide Much Sport
Surf Fishing Good at Cope Charles

Schools of small bluef1sh just off
Ocean City inlet interest the an
glers for two reasons.
One-which might be little more
than wishful thinking-is that be-
cause they are in that locality there
might be other schools on their way
Up the Chesapeake.
1t could be, for most anything ap-
pears possible these days. The
habits of bluefish bring them into
coastal bays and inlets at this sea-
son and these fish of Ocean City
probably are the young of the old
schools every one has been looking
for, the nucleus of new hordes which
will reach their prime along in l945.
That we will have bluef1shing in the
bay this year still seems improb-
able. as our bay fish arrive in the
spring and by mid-September are
striking at anything that moves in
the water.
The other reason is because
anglers are fishing these schools
with light tackle and having con-
siderable fun.
A 1A-pound bluefish can raise
whatfor on the end Of a line, and
with almost continuous action, for
the first really are thick. Any one
will know he has been fishing at
the end of the day.
The offshore season at Ocean City
has been anything but consistent.
Despite the early start and the ap-
pearance of white marlin during the
first week In July, there has been no
certainty of knowing where they
would be from one day to another
