ID. {. Bowling Leader
Elected Director by
1enpin Congress
By Rod Thomas

Matt Bennie never has been
classed as a star tenpin bowler,
but he's become Washington's
best known representative of the
game. Recently a signal honor
was bestowed on him. He was
elected a director of the Amer
lean Bowling Congress.
The Importance of Bennie's
election may be lost on many
Washington bowlers, for duck
pins is the predominant form of
bowling here. He becomes one of
SO men who govern an organiza-
tion with approximately 100000
members.
The ABC credited Bennie, a
Navy Yard employe, with spark
ing the growth of tenpins in
this area. The game had be-
come virtually extinct here be-
fore World War II. An influx of
war workers revived it and now
the Washington City Tenpin
Association is one of the livest
organizations of its type in the
land.
Best bowlers in the National
Duckpin Congress champion
ships at Colonial Village so far
have been Ed Mustard, jr., of
Charlottesville, Va, and Eileen
Schnetzka of Baltimore. Mus
tard leads the mems all-events
with 1,119 and Miss Schnetzka
heads the women with lob,
both we'll below the figures that
won last year. Howard Parsons
of Washington and Frank Han
ley of Shelton. Mass, tied for
the mems title in 1852 at 1899,
with Hanley winning a roll
off. Anne Wissman of Stam-
ford, Conn. prevailed among the
women with 1,186.
In competition last night the
Marshall team of Alexandria
gained the lead in the women's
"B" booster division with set
of 1,415, paced by Phyllis Pet
tits 325.
Second place in the same divi-
sion fell to another Alexandria
five, the Washingtons, who rolled
1897, with Margaret Vermillion
leading the way with 335.
of Hyattsville moved into third
place in the regular booster class
with 1,546 as four of it's mem
bers topped 800. Madiana Cot
ton shot 1886, Shirley Ferrar,
313; Dorothy Aue, 80, and Ellen
Nesline, 3O6.
The Facilities team of Wash
ington gained the lead in mixed
competition with 1923, led by
Dave Cohen's 1868.
Mildred Redifer of Baltimore
and Homer Snyder of Hamp-
stead, Md, are out front in the
National Mixed Doubles being
rolled at Clarendon. Their score
of 776 is 80 pins more than that

North, Manager Casey Stengel
said today.
Yogi Berra, the regular
catcher, is sidelined with a sore

often during the regular season
that last year Silvera got into
only 20 games and Houk just
nine.
ALPINE, Tex, April 2 (P.-
Preston Ward, the converted
first baseman, has pulled out
of his batting slump in Sensa-
tional style and appears a cinch
to start in centerfield for the
CnlcagO CuDS.
Ward made only one scratch
single in his first Is times at
bat and famed on eight oc-
caSions in that period. But in
his last two games, the lanky ex-
serviceman has collected three
home runs, one triple and three
singles. In his last Is trips to
the plate he has whacked 10 hits.
FORT WORTH, Tex, April 2.
About the only thing sure with
the Chicago White Sox pitching
staff is that Harry Dorish is the
No. l relief man.
The No. l starter is a toss up
between Billy Pierce and Saul
Rogovin. The Nos. 3, 4 and per-
haps spots are rather vague.
Manager Paul Richards says he
Is doing a lot of experimenting,
mainly with Luis Aloma. Mike
FornieleS, Lou Kretlow and Tom
my Byrne. Sox hurlers so far
have served 35 home runs to the
opposition. and an average of
six runs and five walks per game.
LEESBURG. Fla, April 2 (P).

Hume and Len Matarazzo with

tives, reducing their roster to 80

HAVANA, April 2 (P.-Pete
CaStiglione, Pittsburgh third
baSeman, appears certain to hold
down the hot corner again for
the Pirates this year.
The 30-year-old inf1elder, who
has a hard time each spring
selling himself as first stringer,
got three for four in an intra-
squad game yesterday.

an indoor meet in an outdoor
pool Eleans a drop of about 20
degrees in temperature. And
while the Walter Reed pool

plenty of it here, what with IS

Peters on the 300-yard individual
medley she won last year. Miss
Freeman also was in the latter
event. which she also won in 1851.
Trials in these events and in
the 100-yard freestyle and l.
meter diving were scheduled this
morning with finals to be run
off this afternoon.
Barbara Stark. the 15-year-old
wonder from Berkeley. Calf. is
defending champion in the 200
yard backstroke. Barbara. Miss
Freeman and Coralie O'Connor
OF Lafayette. Ind. another COM
petitor in this event, all were
on the Olympic team last year.

pected to compete in the three
day meet. Miss Peters will de-
fend the first of her two breast
stroke championships tomorrow
the 250-yard event. A 300
yard event last year. it was raised

Charles Now Thinks
He Can Beat En- All
After Drubbing LaYne
BY the Associoted Press

SAN FRANCISCO, April a.
Ezzard Charles, back in the
heavyweight title picture after
smashing 1O-round win over Rex
Layne. told the boxing world to-
day, Il think can beat any one
now"
The 31-year-old Cincinnati
Negro put on one of the finest
battles of his lengthy career
when he battered the Lewiston
CUtah) gamester into a bloody
hulk last night at Winterland.
Millions of Nation wide tele-
vision viewers and $500 fans at
the indoor arena saw Charles floor
Layne four times-in the first,
sixth, seventh and tenth rounds.
Burly Rex gained his feet every
time. but the beating he took
probably will Shelve him for
weeks He suffered cuts near
both eyes and under the lower
lip.
Charles POurS 1t On.
Charles, fighting for a title
shot. was savage. He pounded
the 203-pound Rex in the mid
section and belted his head with
stinging left hooks and sharp
right crosses to the face. Layne
was groggy from the sixth round
on.
Referee Frankie Carter and
Judge Toby Irwin each gave it
to Charles. 59-51. Judge Johnny
Lotsy called 1t 6O12 to 49l2.
CALIFORNIA; scoring system is
II points to the round. The !
State Athletic Commission re-
quires a fighter to take a count |
of at least eight when knocked |
down.
Layne went to one knee in
the opening round from left |
hooks to the chin. He was up |
at once and no count was
started because it was not a
Bell Helps Layne.
In the sixth Charles f1oored
Layne with head and body
attack. Rex got up and reeled
along the ropes. The referee
counted eight and the round
ended shortly after.
Charles used his opponent for |
punching bag in the seventh |
and Layne. his face covered with
blood, finally went down under |
a straight right to the nose. He
staggered up but took a count |
of nine.
The ex-champ poured on his
relentless attack again in the
10th and Layne sagged to the
canvas with nine seconds to go. |
Rex struggled to his feet, took a
count of eight and groped along
the ropes when the bell ended
the battle.
Charles weighed 1872. Layne,
although Is pounds heavier.
was practically helpless at times,
and his game rallies drew cheers
from the near-capacity crowd.
Rex Has His Moment.
Laynes best showing was in
the second round. He connected
with Charles jaw and threw
some left hooks to the body that
gave him a slight advantage.
The fight crossed $34,083.50,
with television receipts adding
$4,000. The principals each re-
ceived $500 of the TV money
and 80 per cent of the net gate.
Charles, unmarked, said he
would challenge the winner of
the Rocky Marciano-Jersey Joe
Walcott championship rematch
in Chicago April 10.
It feel I've earned another
shot at the title" Ezzard said.
I'D rather fight Marciano for
the title. I think his style is
made to order for me-"

Boyd Writes History of Our Naturalization laws

ments fixed by law had been met
In 1905 a commission was ap-
pointed TO investigate and report on
the flaws in the naturalization pro-
cess. As result of the report OF
this commission Congress enac'. d
the basic Naturalization Act of 1905
which formulated the fundamcn.a al
procedural safeguards in naturaIiza-
ton that are still In effect. Admin
istrativc supervision over m '-rali
zation was vested in Federal agen
cy, although the courts still retained
the power to gran'.or dcnv nrtur-
alization. In addition, duplicates OF
every naturalization paper were re-
quired to be filed with the central
federal agency; uniform fees were
fixed and the clerks of court were
required to account for fees: nat
uraliZati0n forms were prescribed
and each petitioner for naturaIiza-
ton who arrived i'm the Unit d
States after June 30. 1906. was re-
quired to obtain and attach to his
retition an official certificate of his
lawful arrival; the applicant was
required to sign the petition in his
own handwriting and to speak the
English language; and proc "dure
was prescribed for the cancellation
of certificates. Of. naturalization
