- HE'S HANDICAPPED, BUT
Blind Golfer Teels' His Courses
Birmingham, Ala., Aur. 14
HV-Ever try to hit golf ball
with your eyes elosedT
Then you'll admire Charlie
Boswell, a champion who wal
lops them straight and far al
though he can't see.
Blind for five years, Charlie
has captured two national blind
golf championships and placed
third in an international meet.
His latest national victory was
at Norristown, Pa., recently
with a score of 213 for 38 holes.
Boswell, a soft - spoken
Southerner, was blinded by
German shell in the bitter
Ruhr Valley fighting of 1944.
Be had never played golf,
but romped to football fame
in the '30s as a halfback at
University of Alabama.
At 32, Charlie is manager ofi
the sporting goods department
of a large Birmingham depart
ment store. At every oppor
tunity he s off to the links.
"Golf Is the most wonder
ful thing that ever happened
to me," he says. "I'll go any
where In the country to play."
Blind golfers play the game
with the aid of a coach who
aligns the clubs, advises them of
distance, hazards and type of
shot required, Charlie's coach
is Grant Thomas, a lifelong
friend.
"We play right out of the
book," says Charlie. "That's
the value of it to the blind
fellow to tackle a job and
overpower it.

CARDINALS OPEN
FOOTBALL DRILLS
Seven lettermen were among
the 30 gridiron aspirants who
reported to opening football
practice at Sacred Heart acad
emy Tuesday afternoon. About
au nopefuls are expected to turn
out next week, when more of
them can be drafted away from
their cannery jobs.
By TOM SELLERS
"Practice that's what does
it; constant practice. .Even
tually you begin to get a fifth
sense to make up for your
lost eyesight. You get so you
can feel a course out."
Charlie took up golf while
convalescing at Valley Forge,
Pa., veterans hospital in 1945
Blind veterans there were en
couraged to take part in a sports
orientation program.
Pretty soon Charlie was bang
ing away every chance he got.
The game was a challenge and
he was determined to master it.
The record shows that he did.
His friends say he probably
will be shooting in the middle
80's soon. Quite often he whips
a golfer who has eyesight, a
feat that affords him immense
satisfaction.
Charlie Is married and has
two children a boy and a
girl. He is an avid baseball
and football fan, plays bridge
and likes to "read" book rec
ordings at' his comfortable
home here.
Shortly after Charlie came
home from the war, the Ala
bama football team played an
intra-squad benefit game for
him. People from all over the
state came to "Boswell Day"
and bought $30,000 worth of
tickets. It was enough to stake
Charlie to a fair start as a
civilian.
On his recent tournament
jaunt, Charlie was talking golf
with Bob Allman, blind attor
ney and golf opponent, in a
Philadelphia hotel room.
."Bob, you just don't putt
right," commented Charlie.
"I can tell by the sound of the
ball."
Whereupon Charlie and Grant
Thomas got out a putter and
some balls, laid a water glass
on the floor 15 feet away and
blind golfer Boswell proceeded
to give blind golfer Allman a
putting lesson.
"And, do you know," says
Allman, "within 15 minutes
I was putting a good percent
age of them into the glass!
Boy, what a golfer that guy
Is and what a guy!"
Two Gladiators
In Non-Title
Mix at Stadium
New York, Aug. 23 P)
Middleweight contender Steve
Belloise pits the power of his
all around brilliance of welter
weight champion Ray Robinson
in a non-title ten rounder in
Yankee stadium tonight.
The fight shapes up as a first
class punching party with Bel
loise set to come roaring out in
the hopes of landing an early
knockout.
Balding, 30-year-old Steve's
chances hinges on his getting in
a hard blow quickly. If not he's
liable to run out of gas against
the clever, stiff -hitting welter
boss. No one ever has kayoed
Sugar Ray and the bpokmakers
don't think Belloise will do it
either.
The climb into the ring at 7
p. m. (PDT).
The winner has been promis
ed a crack at either middle
weight champion Jake Lamotta
or Marcel Cerdan, depending on
the outcome of the title tilt
between King Jake and the
Frenchman here Sept. 28. La
motta and Cerdan will be at the
ringside tonight.
The promoting International
Boxing club, with around $50,
000 in the till, is hoping for a
crowd of 30,000 and a gross
gate of $150,000. The contest is
being broadcast but not televised.

which you probably do or you souldn't be up here, yeah sure dock but, now don't but me i'm
busy. Now if you wanta feel good dont try to eat everything thats set on the table take
meat for enstance if you'll -get the best young steer beef the kind with white not yellow
fat marked with white streaks through it and lay off tryin to save a few cents, takes a lot
less of that kind of meat to satisfy your appetite and from lookin attche youve got a good
one, dock thats just what we come up here to ask ye. allright now where'd you say ye hurt,
now dock we didnt say we hurt atall we just wanted to ask you if folks wouldn be better

without havin to stuff them selves on cheap fiberous meat. Now I might of known youd
come to me and then answer yer own question yer right tho eat good nourishin food and
dont load yerself up witha lata non nourishing meat. OK we says dock well be gain, not
yet says dock, till ye pay me about three bucks. OK dock may we quote you on this. You
