Billy Hill, D.C. Boxer, Defending AAU Title In National Tourney By th« Associated Press BOSTON, April ll—Flyweight Billy Hill of Washington, is one of the two defending champions In the National AAU boxing tournament opening today at Boston Garden. At the other end of the list seeking to retain laurels won last year is Heavyweight Jack Scheberies of Oakland, Calif. Another of last year’s cham- pions, Welterweight Andy Ander- son of the Navy, stationed at Quonset, R. 1., had to withdraw’ at the last minute because of an injury in a service tourna- ment late last week. Among other leading entrants Is Frank Perry of Wilberforce, Ohio, who was runnerup for the light-heavyweight title in 1952. Many service teams, selected in Elimination contests all over the world, also battle for a share of the 10 titles at stake. The Army and Air Force teams are considered exceptionally capable. As usual, Hawaii has a color- ful and competent six-man dele- gation, 112-pound Michinori Okuda, 119-pound Bob Kishi- moto, 125-pound Ernie De Jesus, 132-pound Paul Nakahodo, 139- pound Stanley Harrington and 147-pound Martin Cambra. Another stylish Hawaiian bat- tler is Nick Lopez, the world- wide Army team's 112-pound representative- Masters (Continued From Page A-14.) of 279, set by Ralph Guldahl and Claude Harmon, and still lost by five strokes. Previously Nelson said Hogan had watched Oliver’s round through the elaborate scoreboard setup, and appeared relieved when it became apparent nobody was doing anything. Oliver played 42 minutes ahead of Ho- gan and started w’ith two birdies on the first three holes, but was only even par going out. There was no doubt that a morning rain had left the course in the best scoring condition ever for a final round, but everybody had the same crack at the course and only Hogan took the ut- most advantage of it. The rain had stopped and skies cleared when Hogan started and Ben remarked, “I can’t do anything wrong.” Plans for Season. Hogan becomes eligible for ! the $35,000 Tournament -of - Cham- pions at Las Vegas week after next, but indicated he would not take advantage of it. He said he W’ould play in the Pan American Open in Mexico, the Colonial Invitation in Fort Worth and the Spring Festival at White Sulphur Springs, W. Va.. prior to the National Open. Then he will spend the summer playing exhibitions. There was a move under way to declare Hogan a member of the Ryder Cup team, regardless of his point standing. NOTES: Lloyd Mangrum played his best golf too early and too late. He wasted a prac- tice round 63 on Wednesday and then birdied the last three holes yesterday to slip into third place, good for $1,700. . . . Ten players broke par yesterday, with Hogan and Mangrum the only 70 breakers with 695. . . . Vir- ginia’s Chandler Harper had an eagle and three birdies and still | struggled to a 74 for a lOth-place tie, worth $523.33. Harper played some of the most sensational j golf of the tournament, and he said probably the best of his; career, except for eight shots in the water. There was surprising interest in the scrap for low amateur honors, in w’hich Frank Stran- ahan and Harvie Ward, jr„ tied at 291 after Stranahan picked ; up three shots on the last five j holes. . . . Hogan said golf was j 30 per cent shotmaking and 70 j per cent management. . . . Lew’ j Worsham finished with a final | 80 for 301 and his poorest Mas- ; ters showing. “The Chin’’ is go-I ing to Virginia Beach and Las j Vegas before returning to Oak- ! mont. his home club and scene of the-National Open. . . .

The discus record will be in real danger next Saturday when Sim Iness, Olympic champion, and Fortune Gordien, world record holder attempt to out-toss each other in Memorial Coliseum. The two meet in a dual meet between Southern California and the Los Angeles Athletic Club. - Big Sim, who shattered his own American record with a toss of 185 feet, 5*4 inches against Stanford last Saturday, already ! has bettered Gordien’s world mark of 186 feet 11 inches in practice this spring. Iness is a member of the pow- | erful Southern California track and field team and Gordien spins the platter for the LAAC. While Iness appears to be in | better form than when he cap- j tured his favorite event in the ' Olympic Games last summer, | Gordien may not be at his peak j because of insufficient competi- j tion. He set his mark in Finland jfour years ago. Volleyball Tournament Won by Binghamton Bingnamton, N.

The collapse of a grandstand shortly before the races injured 15 persons, none of them seri- ously. A first-aid station treated minor bruises, but no one was sent to a hospital*. Temporary bleachers apparently gave way when ground under them was softened by rain. First in the 102-mile third race was an Osca, patched up quickly after its owner was injured in a trial run Saturday. George Mof- fett. jr., of Mount Kisco, N. Y„ received a broken arm and leg when his car left the course and rolled over several times. A volunteer crew, including some of his competitors, worked all night to repair the car.

Larry MacPhail, blustering head of the Bowie race track, will deny he assaulted a Maryland State trooper during a traffic argument when his case comes up in Hyattsville Police Court next Monday, he indicated today. Asked about the assault charge filed against him Satur- day night after Trooper Eirst Class Alvin Robbins alleged MacPhail “tried to knee him.” MacPhail said he thought the trooper was the only one that was aware of any physical force. “All the other people that gathered around didn’t see any- thing like that,” the track offi- cial declared. MacPhail, who posted $250 bond on the assault charge and an additional $13.50 bail on a drunk and disorderly count, blamed the incident on “the poor way” the State police han- dle traffic outside the race track. He and the trooper had a wordy encounter as more than 21,000 fans were leaving the track after Saturday’s program. The run-in occurred at an intersection where traffic con- verges from two points on a one-lane bridge over a creek adjacent to the track. Three troopers, including Capt. Carl Dillinger, escorted MacPhail to the Hyattsville police station after the incident. j LITTLE SPORT Dinghy Races Won By Navy; Colonials Take Fifth Place Spatial Dispatch to Tho Star ANNAPOLIS.

C—DISTRIBUTOR THE EVENING STAR Washington, D. C. MONDAY, APRIL 13,' 1953 Slumping Sammy Boulmetis Unworried by Rash of Seconds By Lewis F. Atchison Batting stars and golf pros who fall into a slump may shake it off with a change of stance or swing. Even a quarterback hav- ing a bad afternoon can junk the planned strategy and try unorthodox football to help his team snap out of it. There seems to be a cure for almost any trouble but riding losers on a race track. When a jockey hits the skids, he can only sit and take it, hoping for a change in luck. The usually hot Sammy Boul- metis, for example, has been only lukewarm during the current Bowie meeting. The Baltimore Greek has been second so many times he feels like the vice president, and. apparently there is nothing he can do,about it. Although a consistently good rider, averaging around 200 win- ners a year since he first started five years ago, Sammy isn’t listed among the leaders at Bowie. He can only shrug his shoulders when you ask why. Had Losing Streaks Before. "I dunno,” he said. “I guess the horses just don’t run fast enough. There’s nothing wrong with them. They just get beat. I’m riding like I always did, but I can’t carry ’em around the track.” Boulmetis finished in the second hole “about 20 times” in the first two weeks of the meeting, but if it is a slump he's in, he’s not worried And he thinks the end of the year will find him with his usual quota of winners. Sam has had losing streaks be- fore and he knows there isn’t a jockey on the tracks who hasn t had a similar experience. Conn McCreary’s luck got so bad he quit and had to be coaxed into making the comeback that led to his Kentucky Derby victory on Count Turf in 1951. Ted Atkin- son has had more than his share of nonwinning streaks, and you can name any other star jockey and be sure he has shared the same disappointments. “I rode 30 races without a winner after Gold Heels dropped dead and threw me over the in- field fence at Hialeah,” Sammy volunteered. “Then I went to Gulfstream and had eight win- ners in six days. I was the < yiiß SAMMYBOULMETIS. leading rider there before I got 10 days myself for rough riding.” Boulmetis miraculously * es- caped serious injury when Gold Heels fell. It was worse than the day War Ship, threw him four times before they got the horse in the starting gate at Delaware Park. Started to Become Printer. Last winter was a good one in Florida for Sammy who quit the printing trade to become a jockey. He won four out of eight stake races, accounting for the Bradley Memorial, Tropical Park, Coral Gables and New Year’s Day Handicaps. Sammy was riding high, wide and hand- some before the wheel of fortune turned and stopped on another number. A week ago Saturday, for example, Boulmetis had four seconds, and the day before that, two. Naturally, that didn’t sit well with the sports who like to send a deuce in on Sammy’s mounts. One, after watching Boulmetis lose on Post Card, the even- money favorite, turned to a friend and muttered, “Geez, Sammy’s breaking everybody in the joint.” But Agent Fred Kriege has no trouble lining up mounts for his man. Trailers know the 26- year-old rider’s true ability and if he suddenly hits a hot streak he’ll be the darling of the parlay fraternity once again. Sammy hopes it’s soon! i LIONEL | 1953 Brand-New \ Accessoriet Just in t Operating Switch Tower, ? 7.95 ? 'o27' Manuel Switches, ? pr. 5.75 * Barrel Loader 8.75 ?

MONDAY, APRIL 13,' 1953Slumping Sammy BoulmetisUnworried by Rash of Seconds
By Lewis F. AtchisonBatting stars and golf pros
who fall into a slump may shakeit off with a change of stance orswing. Even a quarterback hav-ing a bad afternoon can junkthe planned strategy and tryunorthodox football to help histeam snap out of it. Thereseems to be a cure for almostany trouble but riding losers ona race track. When a jockeyhits the skids, he can only sitand take it, hoping for a changein luck.
The usually hot Sammy Boul-metis, for example, has been onlylukewarm during the currentBowie meeting. The BaltimoreGreek has been second so manytimes he feels like the vicepresident, and. apparently thereis nothing he can do,about it.Although a consistently goodrider, averaging around 200 win-ners a year since he first startedfive years ago, Sammy isn’tlisted among the leaders atBowie. He can only shrug hisshoulders when you ask why.
Had Losing Streaks Before."I dunno,” he said. “I guess
the horses just don’t run fastenough. There’s nothing wrongwith them. They just get beat.I’m riding like I always did, butI can’t carry ’em around thetrack.”
Boulmetis finished in the secondhole “about 20 times” in the firsttwo weeks of the meeting, but ifit is a slump he's in, he’s notworried And he thinks the endof the year will find him with hisusual quota of winners.
Sam has had losing streaks be-fore and he knows there isn’t ajockey on the tracks who hasn thad a similar experience. ConnMcCreary’s luck got so bad hequit and had to be coaxed intomaking the comeback that led tohis Kentucky Derby victory onCount Turf in 1951. Ted Atkin-son has had more than his shareof nonwinning streaks, and youcan name any other star jockeyand be sure he has shared thesame disappointments.
“I rode 30 races without awinner after Gold Heels droppeddead and threw me over the in-field fence at Hialeah,” Sammyvolunteered. “Then I went toGulfstream and had eight win-ners in six days. I was the
< yiiß
SAMMYBOULMETIS.
leading rider there before I got10 days myself for rough riding.”
Boulmetis miraculously *es-caped serious injury when GoldHeels fell. It was worse thanthe day War Ship, threw himfour times before they got thehorse in the starting gate atDelaware Park.
Started to Become Printer.Last winter was a good one
in Florida for Sammy who quitthe printing trade to become ajockey. He won four out ofeight stake races, accounting forthe Bradley Memorial, TropicalPark, Coral Gables and NewYear’s Day Handicaps. Sammywas riding high, wide and hand-some before the wheel of fortuneturned and stopped on anothernumber. A week ago Saturday,for example, Boulmetis had fourseconds, and the day before that,two. Naturally, that didn’t sitwell with the sports who like tosend a deuce in on Sammy’smounts.
One, after watching Boulmetislose on Post Card, the even-money favorite, turned to afriend and muttered, “Geez,Sammy’s breaking everybody inthe joint.”
But Agent Fred Kriege hasno trouble lining up mounts forhis man. Trailers know the 26-year-old rider’s true ability andif he suddenly hits a hot streakhe’ll be the darling of the parlayfraternity once again.
Sammy hopes it’s soon!
