Stefano "<mask>" <mask> (May 24, 1923 – December 3, 1999) was an American professional boxer and actor of Italian descent who was world ranked in two divisions during the 1940s. He thrice challenged for world titles, fighting Gus Lesnevich (twice) and Joe Louis for the world's Light-Heavyweight and Heavyweight titles, respectively. <mask>'s nickname was "The Bronx Barkeep". Professional boxing career
<mask> made his professional boxing debut with a first round knockout of Gilberto Ramirez Vazquez at Queensboro Arena, Long Island City, Queens, New York. <mask> went undefeated in his first 24 fights, with 15 knockout wins. He lost his condition as an undefeated prospect when he faced future NYSAC world Middleweight champion Billy Soose, who himself had come off a close split decision victory over Ken Overlin and a unanimous decision victory against Tony Zale. Mauriello-Soose took place on January 3, 1941 at the Madison Square Garden in New York.The event marked the third time that <mask> boxed as a professional in the arena. <mask> <mask> lost a razor-thin, split decision after ten rounds, one judge scoring the bout 6-4 in rounds for him (Boxing fights in New York were scored on a per-round basis instead of a "must system" as they get scored in modern times) while the other judge and the referee, Frank Fullam, scored the bout for Soose, 6-4 also. <mask> proceeded by taking on tough Bill McDowell (119-60-22) barely 5 weeks after the defeat to Soose, on February 11, 1941 at the New York Coliseum in the Bronx. <mask> won by a sixth round knockout. By this time, he was becoming known for his powerful right hand punch. Two fights later, <mask> fought young veteran (36-5-1 coming in) Steve Belloise on March 14, 1941. Belloise had twice fought Ken Overlin for the NYSAC's version of the world Light-Heavyweight championship and had lost both times by close fifteen round decisions.<mask> knocked Belloise out at 2:59 of the first round. Wins over 'Wildcat' O'Connor, Charlie Williams, Jimmy O'Boyne, Tony Cisco and Steve Mamakos followed, setting <mask> up for his first world title challenge. World Light-Heavyweight Championship title fights
<mask> then fought Gus Lesnevich, who was the National Boxing Association's Light-Heavyweight champion of the world, for the NBA's and the vacant NYSAC's version of the championship. The first encounter between <mask> and Lesnevich was held August 26, 1941 at the Madison Square Garden. It was a close affair thorough, lasting the 15 rounds. In the end, Lesnevich was given a close, somewhat controversial split decision, judge John Potter scoring it 8-7 and judge Bill Healy 8-6-1 in rounds, respectively, for the champion, while referee Eddie Joseph had the fight 10-5 for <mask>. The closeness of the fight made a rematch possible; the second <mask>-Lesnevich contest took place, once again at the Madison Square Garden, on November 14, 1941.This time around Lesnevich outscored <mask> more comprehensively, with referee Arthur Donovan, judges George Lecron and Sam Austin each scoring the bout for the champion, 9-4-2, 9-5-1 and 10-2-3 in rounds, respectively. Move to Heavyweight
<mask> next moved to the Heavyweight division, The New York Times announcing his fight against Jay D. Turner (24-19-2) as his first in that weight. <mask> dropped Turner twice before the fight was stopped in the first round. He proceeded that by beating Gunnar Barlund, (41-13) by a knockout in 8, and the very experienced Buddy Knox (95-19-6), by a technical knockout when Knox could not come out of his corner to fight round 2. After four more wins, <mask> met three world ranked Heavyweights in a row: on May 22, 1942, he fought Bob Pastor, (52-6-4) to a 10 round draw (tie); on July 14 of that year, he met Tony Musto (30-14-3), winning on points in 8 rounds; and nine days later, on July 23, he fought Red Burman, (78-20-2), winning by knockout in round 9. Each of these bouts took place in the New York City area; the Pastor and Burman ones at Madison Square Garden, and the Musto one at the New York Coliseum in the Bronx. Challenge for the "duration Heavyweight title"
After beating trail-horse Italo Collonello, <mask> next fought Jimmy Bivins.Joe Louis, who had headed to the United States Army to help boost soldier morale during World War II, had symbolically handed Bivins a "duration championship belt", so the fight was billed as for the "duration world Heavyweight championship"-a symbolic title with no official recognition. Nevertheless, when the two boxers met in Cleveland, Ohio, September 15, 1942, Bivins won by a close, split ten round decision. <mask> survived a knockdown in round 1. Lee Savold, rematch with Bivins, Lee Oma

Another win over Collonello followed, and then he faced Lee Savold, another top Heavyweight contender of the era. Savold was 73-24-1 coming into their October 30 fight, and <mask> beat him by a 10 round decision. Of the four matches that followed <mask>'s defeat of Savold, two were rematches, with one win over Vince Pimpinella (33-44-9), a ten round decision win, and one over Lou Nova, whom Mauriello knocked out in six rounds after being knocked down himself in the first round, sandwiched in. These two rematches were against Musto, whom Mauriello knocked out in seven rounds, (the fight's doctor stopped the fight because Musto suffered a dislocated jaw), and Bivins, who once again won a close decision over <mask>, a majority ten round nod.Once again, <mask> survived an early knockdown against Bivins, this time in the second round. The second Bivins-<mask> bout involved no title at stake. Six months later, <mask> knocked out Gunnar Barlund in eight rounds in a rematch. Then, on November 5, 1943, <mask> and Savold rematched; <mask> went to the floor in round two, but recovered to win by a unanimous decision. After another win against Buddy Knox, <mask> met Pennsylvanian fighter, Joe Baksi, in front of 16,015 people at the Madison Square Garden on February 5, 1944. Baksi almost knocked <mask> out in the first round, sending him to the canvas for a count of nine seconds. <mask> recovered and gave Baksi a serious test the rest of the way, but Baksi prevailed by a ten round unanimous decision.Wins over Pimpinella, Knox and Danny Cox followed, and then a three fight series with Lee Oma began. In the first bout, <mask> came in as a substitute for old rival Baksi; on September 22, 1944, he defeated Oma by knockout in round eight. In their second bout, held on December 8 of the same year, Oma gained revenge by winning a ten round unanimous decision, and in their rubber match, <mask> outpointed Oma over ten rounds by unanimous vote, March 23, 1945. Each of these fights were held at Madison Square Garden. The three fight series against Oma was followed with first round knockout wins over Steve Dudas and over Nova in another rematch. <mask>'s next seven fights were against boxers of average records, the notable exceptions in that span being a third fight with Barlund, won by a second round technical knockout at the Coliseum Arena, New Orleans, Louisiana, and a second round knockout of 14-5 Jerry Berthiaume at Cleveland, Ohio. On March 22, 1946, <mask> and John Thomas (22-13-1) exchanged knockdowns at the Olympia Stadium in Detroit, Michigan, with <mask> down in the first round and Thomas floored once in the second and twice in the third before <mask> won the bout by a third round knockout.<mask> then fought the famous British fighter, Bruce Woodcock, May 17, 1946 at the Madison Square Garden in New York. At stake was a possible title shot at world Heavyweight champion Joe Louis. In front of 14,000 fans, <mask> stopped Woodcock in round five, earning his third world title shot and first shot at the world's Heavyweight title. Challenge of Joe Louis for the world's Heavyweight title
On September 18, 1946, <mask> received his third world championship shot, and his first try at the world Heavyweight title, when he met Joe Louis at the Bronx's Yankee Stadium. <mask> figured that because of his right-hand power, combined with Louis' layoff during the war years, and the fact that Louis was now 32 years old, he had a chance against the champion, who was 55-1 coming into their bout. In an action-packed fight, <mask> staggered Louis with a hard right a few seconds after the beginning of the bout. Louis recovered, however, and ultimately retained the title by knocking down <mask> twice before the first round ended.<mask> failed to beat the count after the second knockdown. <mask> caused controversy after the fight when he told a reporter on live radio, "I guess I'm just an unlucky son of a bitch". Career decline
<mask> then fought Jimmy O'Brien January 8, 1947 in Chicago, scoring a first round knockout. After two more wins, one over up and coming prospect Freddie Schott (41-4-1 coming in), he faced 25-10-1 Johnny Shkor at the Arena in Boston, Massachusetts, and suffered an upset defeat, beaten by a technical knockout in round seven. Angry at the bout's stoppage, <mask> hit one of the ringside officials and was suspended for his actions. Furthermore, he suffered a cut that required hospitalization and 20 stitches. <mask>, despite the suspension, kept active and had a winning effort two months later in Brooklyn, New York against 30-10-2 Jimmy Carrollo, leading to a rematch with old foe, Gus Lesnevich.On July 30, 1947, the pair boxed again at the Madison Square Garden. Following a very close fight, Lesnevich was rewarded with a ten round unanimous decision win, both the referee and one judge scoring the fight in his favor by one point, and the other judge favoring him by 2 points, thus making <mask> 0-3 versus Lesnevich. Two more wins followed, then a fourth face-off with Lesnevich came, this time on Halloween night, 1947. With referee Ruby Goldstein watching over, Lesnevich knocked <mask> out in seven rounds. <mask> recovered slightly and built a seven fight winning streak, including one over 26-7 Roy Taylor, and another one, his first fight abroad, against Joe Dominic, 16-7, on July 1, 1949, at the Nova Scotia Sports Centre, Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada. He defeated Dominic by a sixth round knockout after downing him four times during the course of this fight. Back in the United States, <mask> took on Mike Jacobs, a 13-11 trial horse boxer, on August 9, 1949, at New Bedford, Massachusetts.In what would turn out to be his final victory as a professional boxer, <mask> took Jacobs out in round eight. A rematch with Dominic followed, in which <mask> was beaten by unanimous decision in ten rounds, and then, on October 5, 1949, <mask> had his last fight, at St. Nicholas Arena in New York, when he got knocked out in two rounds by the talented Argentine Cesar Silverio Brion. <mask> finished his career with 82 wins, 13 losses and 1 draw in 96 professional boxing matches, with 60 wins coming by knockout and 4 losses also by knockout. Acting career
<mask> acted in the boxing-themed film On the Waterfront in 1954, playing "Tillio". References

<mask> (March 31, 1911 – March 1, 1987) was an American swing jazz guitarist who played rhythm guitar with the Count Basie Orchestra for almost fifty years. Early life and education
<mask> was born in Charleston, South Carolina on March 31, 1911. He was exposed to music from an early age, and learned the banjo before picking up the guitar in his early teenage years. A friend of his father by the name of Sam Walker taught a young <mask> to read music, and keenly encouraged him to keep up his guitar playing. Walker gave <mask> what was perhaps his first gig, playing with a local community group of which Walker was an organizer. Another member of the group was William "Cat" Anderson, who went on to become an established trumpeter, working with notable figures such as Duke Ellington. Career
It was around this time that <mask>'s parents died, and he moved to New York City to live with his aunt and continue his education.The move opened up a new musical world to <mask>. While still in his teens, he began to play around the clubs of the city, earning money and a reputation. In one of these gigs, he was noticed by the legendary talent scout John H. Hammond, who realized the potential of <mask> and introduced him to Basie. In 1937, Basie and his ensemble went to one of <mask>'s gigs on the advice of an associate. Basie was an immediate fan, and approached <mask> with a job offer. Except for a brief interruption, <mask> would remain a pivotal fixture of the Count Basie Band for the next fifty years. Throughout his career, <mask> played rhythm guitar, accompanying other musicians, and he rarely played solos."His superb timing and ... flowing sense of harmony ... helped to establish the role of the rhythm guitar as an important part of every rhythm section." <mask> did play a solo on the January 16, 1938, Carnegie Hall concert that featured the Benny Goodman big band. In the jam session on Fats Waller's "Honeysuckle Rose," <mask> was the rhythm guitarist for the ensemble, which featured Basie, Walter Page (Basie's bassist), and musicians from Duke Ellington's band. After Johnny Hodges' solo, Goodman signalled to <mask> to take his own solo, which the musician Turk Van Lake described in his commentary on the reissued 1938 Carnegie Hall concert as a "startling move." He rapidly changed chords, often with every beat, rather than every measure. His chord fingering often involved him covering four strings with his fingers, while depressing only a subset of the notes. He dampened the unsounded notes from chords with his left hand.<mask>'s  playing on his signature Stromberg guitar was the model for Ralph Patt's big-band playing. <mask> was not a prolific composer, but he did make two major contributions to Count Basie's repertoire, "Down for Double" (recorded in 1941) and "Corner Pocket" (recorded for the album April in Paris in 1955). On March 1, 1987, <mask> died of a heart attack in Las Vegas, Nevada at the age of 75. Discography

Triple Eight Race Engineering

2006-9

In 2006, <mask> jumped from Holden to Ford and joined Triple Eight Race Engineering alongside Craig Lowndes. <mask> had a stellar first season, taking victory in the two biggest races of the season, the Clipsal 500 and Supercheap Auto 1000, the latter as co-driver to Craig Lowndes. After some incidents and unreliability, <mask> finished the championship in a slightly disappointing tenth position at years end.In 2007, <mask> returned with the same team which was re-branded TeamVodafone and celebrated several victories included a second Bathurst 1000 title alongside teammate Craig Lowndes and new engineer Mark Dutton. <mask> finished second in the driver's title by a mere two points to Garth Tander from the HSV Dealer Team. <mask> began a mentoring role as part of TeamVodafone's Junior Development Program, and as a co-ambassador for Formula Ford Australia alongside Will Davison. His first round win for 2007, at a water-logged Winton, was the first round win for the year by a Ford driver. He celebrated both his 50th V8 Supercar Championship start and his inaugural pole position at Triple Eight Race Engineering's test track, Queensland Raceway. <mask> moved into the championship lead after a successful defence his and Lowndes' Bathurst 1000 crown, coming just weeks after teaming with Lowndes to win the last Sandown 500 until 2012. Entering Surfers Paradise for the Indy 300 with the series lead from Garth Tander, a difficult day on Sunday with a spin in the final race saw the lead revert to Tander who won the round.<mask> then had a disappointing weekend at Desert 400 at the Bahrain International Circuit, where poor qualifying pace for Triple Eight was compounded by a run of all three races marred by minor accidents, and he took away zero points. Tander and Craig Lowndes both had fairly good weekends, putting Tander into the series lead over Lowndes heading into the Symmons Plains race in Tasmania. Tander backed up his previous two round wins in Tasmania with a dominant race 1 win on Saturday, but a slow stop in race two dropped him to tenth, before disaster in race three after touching Steven Richards, he broke his steering and was out. <mask> won both races, and headed into the Grand Finale at Phillip Island on the 1–2 December weekend with a slender seven point championship lead. <mask> failed to keep his slender margin at Phillip Island; after Garth Tander won the first two races <mask> faced a seven-point deficit. After the final race <mask> finished second, behind Todd Kelly and two places ahead of Tander but fell just two points short of the title. At the 2007 V8 Supercar Gala Awards Dinner at the completion of the 2007 season, <mask> was awarded the Barry Sheene Medal, deemed to be the "Best and Fairest" award for V8 Supercars.<mask> won the 2008 Clipsal 500 in Adelaide, and won a further six rounds after that including the Bathurst 1000 for a third year running. During a post race interview at Symmons Plains, <mask> spun the car into a ditch whilst attempting to perform something special. He clinched his first Championship after winning the first race in the final round at Oran Park Raceway, and was awarded the Barry Sheene Medal for the second year running at the V8 Gala Awards. In 2009, <mask> successfully defended his title in a brand new Ford FG Falcon, including wins at Adelaide, Hamilton, Tasmania, Darwin, Townsville, Oueensland, Phillip Island and Barbagallo. Despite bad luck in the endurance races and at the Gold Coast, <mask> was able to put it all together at Sydney Olympic Park and became the first back-to-back championship winner since Marcos Ambrose in 2003–2004. 2010-12

In 2010, Triple Eight switched to Holden VE Commodores as Ford cut sponsorship. <mask> won the first four races of the season and Hamilton but a run of bad luck at Queensland raceway and Winton saw him relinquish the championship lead for the first time in two years, and sat second in the points table, just ahead of teammate Craig Lowndes in third.He became close to becoming a 3-time champion, the next triple champion in a row after Mark Skaife from 2000 to 2002 and the second man to win the driver's championship in both a Ford and a Holden after Norm Beechey, but due to a multi car crash in the 25th race of the season at the Sydney Telstra 500 in wet weather his car was badly damaged and couldn't continue. In the 26th and final race of the season he was out of reach to score enough points to take back the lead from James Courtney and finished 2nd in the season. In 2011, <mask> regained the championship from James Courtney becoming the first International V8 Supercars Champion. <mask> won races in Abu Dhabi, Adelaide, Perth, Winton, Townsville, Gold Coast, Tasmania and Sandown. The title that went down to the final race in Sydney where <mask> beat teammate Craig Lowndes by 35 points. Triple Eight Race Engineering's stellar season earned them 1st in the Teams Championship, their second Teams Championship with Holden. The 2012 season saw <mask> join Bob Jane, Allan Moffat and Jim Richards as a four-time series champion.Twelve race wins at Adelaide, Symmons Plains, Hidden Valley, Townsville, Sydney Motorsport Park, Abu Dhabi and Winton, and also the marquee endurance races, the Bathurst 1000 and the Gold Coast 600 resulted in a 339-point championship win over his teammate Lowndes. 2013

The 2012 season was the last of the Holden/Ford duopoly in V8 Supercars, as 2013 would see a new challenge arise in the form of two extra manufacturers - Nissan and Mercedes-Benz. <mask> would stay with Triple Eight Race Engineering and Holden, but with a new look - Red Bull replaced Vodafone as major sponsor, with the team to be known as Red Bull Racing Australia. Despite the new era increasing outright competitiveness across the field and the season having 13 separate race winners, <mask> once again proved dominant. He won 11 out of the 34 races, winning at New Zealand, Barbagallo, Hidden Valley, Ipswich, Sandown, Phillip Island and Homebush. He was also victorious in the series' first outing to the US at the Circuit of the Americas, taking victory on three of four occasions. He went on to once again eclipse Lowndes in the points table, and earn himself a fifth title, putting himself alongside Ian Geoghegan, Dick Johnson and Mark Skaife in terms of championship successes.2014

In 2014, <mask> would win a record sixth title. Once again partnering with Paul Dumbrell, he narrowly missed out on the Bathurst 1000 title for the second year running. After a final lap battles with Mark Winterbottom in 2013, this time he lost out to Ford Performance Racing teammate Chaz Mostert as he ran low on fuel. He did, however, win the Enduro Cup with Dumbrell as the most successful driver combination across the endurance events. 2015

During 2015 at Bathurst, <mask> had led the race mid-way through, only to wind up behind team-mate Lowndes thanks to a throttle sensor problem that required a long stop. He was still behind Lowndes when the crucial Safety Car period arrived in Lap 138, and decided to stay out for an extra lap rather than stack behind Lowndes in pit-lane despite being asked to pit by the Red Bull team. It was during that lap he made an illegal pass on the Safety Car, a pass that earned him a drive-through penalty and ruined any chance of taking a decent result away from Mount Panorama.After the race, <mask> has accepted full responsibility after a late race penalty for passing the Safety Car cost him a shot at a fifth Bathurst 1000 victory. <mask> misread a call which ultimately saw him illegally pass the Safety Car going up Mountain Straight as the critical final pitstops were unfolding. <mask> finished fifth in the championship 599-points adrift to long-time rival Winterbottom after a difficult season. 2016

In 2016, <mask> became the second driver in Supercars/ATCC history to win 100 races, the other being Triple Eight teammate Lowndes at the Sydney Motorsport Park. Triple Eight's strategy of making early first stops with all three of its cars paid dividends as the team stormed to its seventh straight victory. At the Bathurst 1000, <mask> would fail to win despite being the first to cross the finish line, due to a time penalty following a collision with Scott McLaughlin and Garth Tander. This penalty was later appealed by Triple Eight Race Engineering but dismissed the case was dismissed nine days after the race.2017

2017 saw Triple Eight become the official Holden factory squad under the banner Red Bull Holden Racing Team. <mask> and Triple Eight were in the shadow of Dick Johnson Racing Team Penske being out qualified and outraced by their drivers Scott McLaughlin and Fabian Coulthard. <mask> however proved, despite a lack of poles and wins by his standards, that consistency was key to his eventual championship win which he recorded in the final race in Newcastle after McLaughlin had received 3 penalties relegating him behind the 11th position he needed to win the championship. <mask> not only won his record seventh title but also the final race win for the Australian built Commodore. 2018

In 2018, <mask> was one of 14 drivers in the field driving the Holden ZB Commodore. During the opening day of the Adelaide 500, <mask> overshadowed a thrilling qualifying session and slid wide through the high-speed sweeper on his final qualifying lap, slamming the outside concrete wall. His teammate Shane van Gisbergen claimed provisional 2 poles and won 2 races.But <mask> finished 6th in race 1 and failing a transmission failure ended up 26th in race 2. At the Melbourne Grand Prix Circuit, <mask> start on 2nd and finished 2nd in race 3. He takes the polesitter and claimed in race 4 opened his victory. <mask> finish 2nd in race 5 and 3rd in race 6, he took the inaugural Larry Perkins Trophy for being the highest points-scorer across the weekend, but was left disappointed by his start in the finale. After poor performances at Phillip Island, Barbagallo and Winton, <mask> finished 3rd at Hidden Valley. <mask> marked the 10th running of the Townsville Street Circuit by taking his 10th race win in commanding fashion. <mask> took the lead from McLaughlin on lap two and controlled proceedings for the balance of the 70 laps, leading by more than 10 seconds for the bulk of it.At Tailem Bend during the event, <mask> won the race 23 of The Bend Motorsport Park ahead of van Gisbergen, with David Reynolds third. On 16 September, <mask> and a co-driver Dumbrell led from start to finish and sweep of the Sandown 500 podium for a dominant Triple Eight Holden squad, as Enduro Cup kicked off. On 7 October 2018 at Bathurst, Dumbrell lost the right front wheel before hurtling down pit straight as the field went left at Hell Corner. <mask> finished 10th and he curse continued on Sunday when the V8 immortal suffered another 1000 km fail. 2019

<mask> take his first win at the Ipswich SuperSprint drought by taking the win in an action-packed opening race at Queensland Raceway after the toughest weekends he's had with Triple Eight. On Race 24 at Pukekohe, <mask> was incorrectly picked up by the Safety Car despite being further back in the field due to having already taken his first compulsory pit stop, which prompted him to pass it without permission. <mask> took the chequered flag in 16th position and having dropped back to 20th immediately after serving his punishment.In November 2019, <mask> inherited the lead and won the race with Craig Lowndes, a repeat of their 2007 win together and their fifth and sixth wins of the race respectively, as Scott McLaughlin wrapped up successive championships. He won 5 race wins and claims 3rd in championship standings. 2020
In 2020 season, the General Motors announced that the Holden brand will be retired by 2021.On 22 February, <mask> won the first race in Superloop Adelaide 500 and become the 119th career race win was his 86th in a Holden, moving one ahead of former Triple Eight teammate turned co-driver Craig Lowndes on the all-time tally. At the final round of the Bathurst 1000, <mask> battling with Brodie Kostecki and Chaz Mostert when he ran wide at The Cutting and hit the wall on Lap 33.

<mask> (August 17, 1839 – October 14, 1904) was an American merchant and manufacturer. He was president of the Brunswick-Balke-Collender Company from 1890 until his death in 1904. He was the instigator and organizer of the conglomerate of the manufacturer of billiard and pool tables when it was initially formed in 1884. The manufacture of bowling equipment as an additional business came about in 1888. He helped found the American Bowling Congress, which set in place a legislative body to establish the rules and regulations used in modern ten-pin bowling. It is a set of by-laws and a constitution of Articles for all in the United States to follow. It has since been incorporated into the United States Bowling Congress and going into the twenty-first century governs all bowling equipment to make as a common standard.He was also an innovator of billiard table design and manufacture leading to significant patents for rubber bumpers and other innovations related to the game. He was involved in setting up tournaments for establishments that used his billiard tables that he manufactured. Early life

Bensinger was born August 17, 1839, in Louisville, Kentucky. He was the son of Nathan and Lena Bensinger and went to Louisville public schools while a child. Upon graduation, he apprenticed to a jeweler and later in 1859 started his own jewelry business. Mid life

Bensinger became an employee of John M. Brunswick, a manufacturer of billiard and pool tables, in 1869 and gave up the jewelry business at that time. Brunswick's headquarters for his business was in Cincinnati, Ohio, and he had a branch office in Chicago.Bensinger, Brunswick and others formed the J. M. Brunswick Billiard Manufacturing Company in October 1872. Bensinger became a vice president and was general manager in charge of the Chicago branch. In January 1874 the Brunswick Company merged with a rival firm and Bensinger engineered the merger. This company, owned by Julius Balke, had factories in Cincinnati and St. Louis, Missouri. On July 8, 1879, the company was incorporated and called Brunswick & Balke Company. The incorporators were Brunswick, Bensinger, Julius Balke Sr., A. F. Troescher and Leo Schmidt. This company then merged in 1884 with another manufacturer of billiard and pool tables run by Hugh W. Collender.The name then became Brunswick-Balke-Collender Company. Bensinger was the motivating force in bringing about this conglomerate. Brunswick died in 1886. The company extended its business into manufacturing wooden bowling lanes, bowling balls, and pins in 1888. <mask> was made president of this new company in 1890. Bowling in 1890 was a disorganized sport with no rules or regulations, played mostly by Germans in dimly lit Chicago saloons and basements of buildings. Bensinger helped standardize bowling game apparatus, like width of alleys, type of ball bowled, and size of pins with its layout.He was the prominent figure in bringing about the initial organized set of rules and regulations for the sport of modern ten-pin bowling. The first commercial regulation ten-pin bowling alley licensed was installed at the Plaza Hotel in north Chicago (Clark Street) in 1891. Bensinger sponsored traveling all-star bowling teams, managed by William V. Thompson, proprietor of the Plaza Bowling Alley, to promote Brunswick bowling products. Within two decades there were over two hundred commercial regulation ten-pin bowling alleys in Chicago alone. American Bowling Congress

On September 9, 1895, the ABC was officially formed as a permanent organization at Beethoven Hall on east Fifth Street in New York City. The ABC had their first formal annual meeting four days later on September 13 at the Elephant club on Fulton Street in Brooklyn and adopted the proposed constitution and by-laws. The new organization took effect officially on October 15, 1895.The basic organization was a legislative body that enforced uniform bowlers' rules and regulations, through a set of by-laws and a constitution of Articles, for all in the United States to follow as the official standard for ten-pin bowling. The first national bowling competition sanctioned by the American Bowling Congress was in 1901. The highest per-game average scores for individual competition was 216, for doubles was 200, and for five-man teams was 181. A protest was filed against the highest-scoring doubles team, alleging use of a ball that was a quarter-inch larger in circumference than permitted by ABC regulations. The ABC organization has since incorporated into the United States Bowling Congress, standardized and still governs all bowling equipment for modern ten-pin bowling. Diamond robbery
Bensinger was wealthy and owned a considerable amount of jewelry. He was robbed of $16,000 () worth of diamonds in 1887 that was kept at his place of business in a safe.Detectives found clues that had been left by the robbers, but in spite of a promise for a large a reward for the return of the diamonds, they were not recovered. Bensinger then published a personal ad about the diamond robbery with a $2500 () reward for the return of the diamonds – no questions asked. Several days later he received a letter, the start of communications that involved many letters, all in different hand writing. This led him to believe there were several accomplices involved in the robbery. Through the communications, he arranged a meeting with his agent at a downtown Chicago bank with a representative of those involved. The terms of the deal was that the representative was to get a check for $2500 for the return of the diamonds. Bensinger's agent was met by a young man who had a package that he handed over.The package contained the missing diamonds completely intact, but the young man refused to accept the $2500 reward, as that was his instruction, he told Bensinger's agent. Bensinger then began to receive threatening letters that demanded $5,000 () or his house would be burned down and he would be killed. He also received these same threats by telephone, spoken in a soft deep bass voice. The telephone message also told Bensinger that if he did not comply immediately that a bomb would detonate and kill everyone at his daughter's wedding. He hired detectives to investigate and they soon discovered the identity of the culprit. It was an office boy and with an accomplice who had hidden the diamonds in a vault. Later the thief moved the diamonds and buried them in the ground until they returned them.The thief and his accomplice were never identified. Investigation showed that likely it was one of four or five employees of Bensinger that was the thief, as they had access to Bensinger's business safe and the diamonds. Ultimately Bensinger paid the thief $5,000 for the safe return of the diamonds. Family

Bensinger married Eleanora Brunswick, the daughter of Brunswick, on May 16, 1865. They had two daughters, Cora and Edna, and one son, Benjamin Edward. Bensinger sponsored an elaborate wedding for his daughter Cora when she got married in 1887, that consisted of 250 guests. Bensinger's son Benjamin became president of the Brunswick-Blake-Collender company upon his death.Benjamin's son Robert took over in 1931, making him the third generation of the Bensinger family to hold the office as the company's president. Billiard table manufacturing

Bensinger experimented and researched improved billiard tables and gear, leading to significant patents for rubber bumpers and other innovations. In 1880 Bensinger, as part owner of J. M. Brunswick & Balke Company, set up a branch in San Francisco for manufacturing billiard tables, making his company the only American coast-to-coast manufacturer and distributor of these tables. He was involved in setting up tournaments for establishments that used his billiard tables and issued cash prizes and trophies. Clubs and associations

Bensinger was a member of the Lakeside and Washington Park clubs, and of the Chicago Athletic Association. Bensinger was a Turner as a member of the Chicago German-American gymnastic club. He was a member and on the executive board of the Chicago Sinai Congregation.Bensinger was one of the original 1869 members of The Standard Club, which is predominately Jewish. He was involved with its new 1889 club-house building on Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago, since the original building burned down. <mask> was its president from 1889 through 1893. Bensinger was known as a business negotiator to settle disputes between management and labor. He was recognized as being affable, practical, far-sighted, progressive and democratically inclined in his dealing with workers. He signed the first agreement with a predecessor of the Amalgamated-Woodworkers Union, which led to a harmonious and productive relationship between union and management. Later life and death
Bensinger held the position of president of the Brunswick-Balke-Collender Company from 1890 until his death.He died in French Lick, Indiana, on October 14, 1904. The cause of death was heart failure. His remains are interred at Rosehill Cemetery. Bensinger left an estate valued at $750,000 () and most went to his family and relatives. Several bequests of $1,000 ( each went to his brothers and sisters. To his children were given 40 shares each of the capital stock of Brunswick, Baike, and Collender company, worth $1,000 a share. The bequest to his daughter Edna provided that executors retain the principal until they felt it was the correct time to give her the entire bequest.Until that time she was to get the net income from the stock. This was set up like this by Bensinger because of Edna's unusually free and open handed disposition that scarified care and concern to herself. His surviving wife and his son were the executors.

<mask> (born 16 December 1986) is an English is a former professional footballer, who is currently an academy coach for Football League Two side Leyton Orient. Club career

Leyton Orient
<mask> was born in Hornchurch, London. He started his career in the youth system at Leyton Orient, making his debut at the age of sixteen in a 3–0 defeat to Huddersfield Town in September 2003. He scored his first goal for the club in a Football League Trophy tie against future club Woking on 28 September 2004. Despite starting as a central midfielder, <mask> was converted to a central defender and won praise for his displays deputising for first team regulars John Mackie and Gabriel Zakuani during the 2005–06 promotion season to League One. At the end of the season he was rewarded with his first professional contract. He began to establish himself in the team and become a first team regular during the 2006–07 season, and was rewarded with a new two-year contract in March 2007.There was also speculation that Premier League club  Tottenham Hotspur had offered £2 million for the defender, after scouts had been sent to see him action. However, Orient manager Martin Ling rubbished the story saying the offer would have been accepted, but still claimed that <mask> was the best defender outside the Championship. He scored his first league goal in a 3–1 loss at AFC Bournemouth on 26 December 2007. <mask> featured quite frequently over the next two seasons but was released at the end of his contract in May 2009, after making a total of 110 appearances scoring twice. Cambridge United
Following his release from Orient, he spent time in pre-season at Southend United and Tranmere Rovers on trial, featuring in friendlies against Dagenham & Redbridge and Shrewsbury Town. In August 2009, <mask> dropped into the non-league game, re-uniting with former Orient boss Martin Ling at Conference Premier team Cambridge United. He started in all of the U's first seventeen league games, scoring twice before a double hernia operation in November kept him out of action for six weeks.In May 2010, he signed a new two-year contract extension after in impressive first season where he made 33 league appearances and came runner-up in the Internet Player of the Year awards. He was also made club captain, taking some off-field responsibilities away from team captain Paul Carden. In January 2011, <mask> found himself playing in a defensive midfield role which coincided with two back-to-back away victories. In total, <mask> made eighty appearances for Cambridge scoring eight times. Torquay United
In July 2011, <mask> signed for League Two club Torquay United reuniting again with Martin Ling, despite him having a year to run on his Cambridge contract. The club didn't want him to leave, but he didn't fit into the new wage structure that the club adopted as they had to slash the playing budget by twenty-five per cent. He was made club captain in his first season at the club as the Gulls missed out on promotion via the play-offs with defeat to Cheltenham Town.<mask> again remained a first team regular with Torquay during his second season with the club making 46 appearances, but rejected the offer of a new contract and chose to leave the Gulls in the summer of 2013. He stated that he wanted to find a club nearer his family home in London as his son was starting school. He left having played a total of 86 games, scoring twice. Dagenham & Redbridge
In July 2013, he signed for his hometown club Dagenham & Redbridge in League Two on a two-year contract, after impressing in pre-season friendlies. In his first season with the club he forged a strong partnership with Scott Doe as the Daggers finished in the top half narrowly avoiding the play-offs. Featuring 48 times for the club, he was also named as runner-up in the Player of the Year awards. He also scored twice during their Football League Trophy run; once against Colchester United and once against Southend United.He started the 2014–15 season as first choice centre-back continuing his partnership with Scott Doe, but lost his place in the team around Christmas due to the emergence of loan signing Ayo Obileye. In March 2015, he was sent out on loan to Conference Premier club Woking on a 28-day loan in order to help boost their promotion push. The loan deal was extended three weeks later until the end of the season. In May 2015, <mask> was released from the club after two seasons, having made 75 appearances and scoring twice. Woking
On 6 March 2015, <mask> joined Conference Premier club Woking on a 28-day loan. On 24 March 2015, <mask> made his Woking debut in a 3–2 victory over Torquay United, in which he played the full 90 minutes. On 1 August 2015, upon his release from Dagenham & Redbridge, <mask> re-joined Woking on a permanent deal after his previous successful loan spell at the club.On 12 September 2015, <mask> scored his first Woking goal in a 4–4 draw with Guiseley, in which he scored just before the half time break. On 12 December 2015, <mask> netted in Woking's FA Trophy triumph over Boreham Wood, in which he got the equalizer before Giuseppe Sole got the winner in the remaining seconds of the fixture. On 23 June 2016, <mask> signed a new one-year deal at Woking, therefore keeping him at the club for the forthcoming season. On the opening day of the 2016–17 campaign, <mask> played the full 90 minutes in Woking's 3–1 home defeat to Lincoln City. On 14 January 2017, <mask> scored his first goal of the 2016–17 campaign, in Woking's 2–1 away victory against Torquay United. Netting the Cards' second in the 36th minute after teammate, Fabio Saraiva had given the Surrey-based side the lead inside the opening ten minutes. On 23 May 2017, it was announced that <mask> would leave Woking upon the expiry of his current deal in June 2017.

International career
In May 2010, <mask> was called up to an eighteen-man squad to play for England C for an International Challenge Trophy match against the Republic of Ireland in Waterford.However, he remained an unused substitute in a 2–1 England win. He made his debut for the team in September 2010, playing in a 2–2 draw with the Wales Semi-Pro team, replacing Aden Flint as a substitute. Coaching Career
Following his release from Woking, <mask> decided to retire from professional football in November 2017. He re-joined Leyton Orient as academy coach in July 2019.

<mask> (, Young; pseudonym, <mask>; 23 April 1835 – 27 September 1919), was an Austrian dramatic operatic soprano, musical educator, and essayist who used the principle of the Aeolian harp emission of tone, which excluded all effort in the throat, and preserved the voice. Kapp-Young made her debut after the death of her husband, Gisbert Kapp, in 1859. In 1861, she sang Wagner roles in Rotterdam. In the United States, she appeared in 1867 as Mme. Kapp-Young. After several seasons in Italy, she came back to the United States, and established herself under the name of <mask> as a teacher in Boston and New York City. In 1884, she was one of the original founders of the American Federation of Musicians, and the only woman initially elected.After 1899, she lived permanently in Milan, and died in Zürich in 1919. Her essays on the voice were reproduced in many musical papers in the U.S. and other countries. She died in 1919. Early life and education
<mask> Young was born 23 April 1835, in Trieste. Her paternal grandfather was a noted Scotchman who was a professor in the University of Munich. Her father was a dramatic tenor, at the Hof-Capelle, Munich, and her mother was a German woman of high social rank. Her brother, Frederic Young, was also a dramatic tenor.At the age of six years, Kapp-Young was a musical prodigy, and she received a thorough musical education. Her childhood was one of song, but song carefully directed by wise parents. Her musical education was continued at the Vienna Conservatory. In Vienna, her teachers were Josephine Fröhlich and the tenor Passadonna; in Italy, they were San Giovanni, Vanucini, Gamberini, the elder Romani and Francesco Lamperti. Career

Singer
At the age of seventeen, she married Gisbert Kapp, an Austrian counselor. Her husband died three years after their marriage, leaving her with two children, a son, also named Gisbert Kapp and a daughter, and with only a small pension with which to support and educate her family. After a period of mourning, Kapp-Young began to make use of her talents and her training, in order to enough money for her children's education.When she began her musical career, in 1859, she combined her names, Kapp and Young, into Kapp-Young. Kapp-Young's aristocratic friends persuaded her to give two public concerts, which were so successful that Anton Rubinstein and Piatti engaged her for their concerts in Vienna, where she lived with her mother. She was then called to court concerts in Vienna, Prague, and Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. In Munich, her concerts brought an invitation to sing in opera. On 13 May 1860, Kapp-Young made her operatic debut, singing with her brother, Frederic, in La Juive, and under his guidance, while he sang Eleasar, her Rachelle was, a  success. After that, she appeared in London under the auspices and at the residence of Viscountess Palmerston, her crowning triumph being in a concert given by Queen Victoria in the Golden Room of Buckingham Palace to the King of Belgium. Her teachers in dramatic action were her brother, Frederic, and his wife, and Lucile Grahn.After appearing in the Royal Theater, Hanover, she was called to Frankfurt am Main, and then to the Grand Duchy of Hesse-Cassel. At the request of the Intendant, she made her debut there as Lucrezia. Her Valentine in Les Huguenots, Fides in Le prophète, and Leonore in Fidelio made an impression. Hermann Levi, then leader of the Grand Opera in Rotterdam, engaged her after her rendering of Elizabeth in Tannhauser. Her appearance in Rotterdam as Ortrud in Lohengrin created a furore. After that, she appeared in Pesth, Prague, and Vienna. The sudden death of Kapp-Young's mother caused a severe illness.A sojourn at Como restored her health so that she could sing in a festival in Bergamo. After that, she sang in Italian her great role of Valentine in La Scala, in Milan, and then filled engagements for Italian opera in Bucharest and in the Imperial Theater, Nice. The carnival of Parma followed, and there she created the role of Selika, in L'Africaine, singing it thirty-two times in one carnival. Yianesi, the leader of the Liceu in Barcelona, engaged her after that event. The Imperial Theater of Tiflis, Russia, was her next triumph. However, at the end of the season, she contracted bronchitis. Permitted by a foolish physician and over-persuaded by the Intendant and the Prince, she sang despite her illness.An enthusiastic torchlight procession in her honor closed the evening, but she was unable to acknowledge the ovation, as that night, she was at the point of death by suffocation, in consequence of the ill-advised vocal exertion. In September, 1868, the city of Arezzo bestowed upon her, for her singing in a festival, the gold medal of merit by King Victor Emmanuel II of Italy's decree. Teacher
A few months after the Arezzo festival, imagining herself to be well, Kapp-Young accepted an engagement from Max Maretzek for the Academy of Music, in New York City. The stormy travel to the U.S. brought on a relapse; still, she appeared with remarkable success in L'Africaine at the Academy in 1868-69. At that time, she discovered in her vocal art some fortunate secrets which enabled her to overcome the difficulties brought on her by bronchitis, and the knowledge of which, thereafter, made her famous as a teacher. After one season in the U.S., she retired from the stage and went to Milan, and there, soon and often, was called upon to advise young singers. For several years, Kapp-Young taught in Europe, but at the request of American pupils, who came in numbers to study with her, she removed to the U.S., settling in Boston.It was here, when singing in a Harvard University concert, and acting under the advice of Dr. Eben Tourjée, that she changed her name from Kapp-Young to Cappiani. During her teaching, she found time to appear occasionally in concerts. While her voice could not endure the fatigue of a whole opera, it retained its sweetness and power for short selections. Later life

Kapp-Young was actively connected with the Music Teachers National Association (founded in 1876) from the first, as well as with the New York State organization. When the board of examiners of the American Federation of Musicians was organized in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1884, she was the only woman elected among eighteen professors. At a subsequent meeting in New York, she was re-elected. Her essays on the voice were reproduced in many musical papers in the U.S. and foreign countries, notably in Germany.She left Boston to settle in New York in 1894. After a rest at her daughter’s home in Italy, she returned to the U.S. and resumed teaching in 1895. After 1899, Kapp-Young lived permanently in Milan. She died at Zurich, September 27, 1919. Notes

<mask> (30 November 1876 – October 1967) is an infamous member of the Australian Imperial Force (AIF) who during World War I managed to fool medical staff at the time of his voluntary enlistment so that they did not observe his artificial left foot, which he had lost only a short time earlier. Joining the army as an amputee
Whilst thousands of Australians returned from World War I as amputees, <mask> may have been the only man to hobble off to World War I in 1917 with an artificial partial left leg and left foot after he pulled off an audacious enlisting deception with a "one chance in a million" ruse, tricking his doctor and passing the military medical as fit for duty. Background
Born in Central New South Wales on 30 November 1876, <mask> moved to and lived in New Zealand before moving back to Sydney. He embarked for war from Melbourne on the troop transport ship HMAT Shropshire on 11 May 1917, as Company Sergeant Major Warrant Officer Class 2 with the Railway Unit, and Reinforcements and Special Draft (February 1917 – October 1918). A veteran of the Boer War where <mask> served as a private with 4 (2 Imperial Bushmen) Contingent from Tasmania. Tasmanians served mainly in mounted units, often known as "Mounted Rifles", "Bushmen" or "Imperial Bushmen". They fought in both the British counter offensive of 1900 and in the long, weary guerrilla phases of the war lasting until 1902.After serving in South Africa <mask> requested a transfer to officer's school; however, he was unsuccessful and advised to wait till required. Injury
<mask> was called up for service in February 1915; however, he was involved in a railway accident before joining his camp, leading to 18 months in hospital. The accident occurred when <mask>, an engine driver with the Tasmanian Government Railways, got out of his moving train to inspect the track and slipped under the carriage. Six operations and the amputation of his left foot resulted. <mask> was fitted with an artificial limb below the knee with a hinged wooden foot. The prosthetic device was made from an unspecific wood, leather, and metal and was made by 'Simpson & Son' Melbourne. <mask> subsequently took some time off to recover and adjust to life on one leg before returning to the 1st AIF.During this recovery time he received several communications from military authorities requesting him to present at camp. He wrote back and explained that he was recuperating and reaffirmed his willingness to serve. At this time the Railway Units were formed to which <mask> applied. Both his railway and South Africa experience made him an ideal candidate, according to the officer in charge. He was told to present for a medical check-up at camp. The Boer War veteran knew an amputee wouldn't be accepted for army service, so he fooled a doctor at the enlistment centre into passing him fit. The ruse
Before he died at the age of 90 in 1967 <mask> told how he fooled the doctor with a "one in a million" ruse.Claiming he was "shy" he asked the doctor to turn around while he took his pants off during his army entry medical examination. "I slipped my trousers across my artificial limb, and showed the doctor my good right leg" he said. Baring only his good leg <mask> proceeded to distract the doctor with questions for several minutes before reminding him to check the other leg, then presented the same leg again keeping the artificial leg covered and slightly under the table behind him. "Lucky for me he did not realise that he had examined the same leg again, he told me I was in perfect shape." The ruse was almost successful, until another doctor walked in and saw what he was doing. An argument resulted, with the second doctor stating that <mask> was useless. <mask> responded that if the doctor had been more observant he would have noticed that the leg was clearly evident on his attestation papers.He also pointed out the railway officer's testimony and argued that he was perfect for the front line because he couldn't retreat as quickly as the others and would be forced to stay with his locomotive and hold his ground. The doctors made <mask> remove his trousers and walk around the room. The first doctor said he would pass fit a thousand men like <mask> and he enlisted on 10 January 1917 with an A1 rating. Service
In service in France and Belgium <mask> hid his disability from his superiors; only his tent mates knew of his secret. He proudly stated that he never missed a parade or route march and his drill instructors never realised the extent of his disability, assuming he was suffering from a corn. As a steam locomotive engine driver taking supplies to the front, the tall dark man dubbed "the shadow" by his mates managed to keep marching to a minimum. He was a Sergeant-Major with the 4th Broad Gauge Rail Operation Company, assigning himself special duties during six later medical parades.<mask> drove locomotive engines around Peronne and in Flanders without misfortune. However, <mask> did experience some problems with his leg during the cold winter months, experiencing severe numbing. The cold conditions caused his calf to shrink from 16 to 9 inches. Post war
After the 1918 Armistice <mask> knew exactly how to get onto one of the first ships while the rest waited. He told his officers his leg hurt him and asked for leave to visit London to have a fitting for a new artificial leg. After returning to Australia <mask> received a new leg with a better fit and donated the original to the Australian War Memorial in 1925. He maintained that his was the only artificial leg accepted for service in the AIF, and possibly the entire Allied Forces.Having returned to Australia <mask> resumed his work with the Tasmanian Railway Department. World War II
He loved army life so much that he tried to enlist again in 1942 for World War II, aged 66. But to his displeasure he was passed unfit for service on age and medical grounds. Death
<mask> <mask> died in Sydney in October 1967, a few months after his 90th birthday, and just a year after the birth of his first grandchild <mask> <mask>, retaining his name. He is buried in Botany Bay cemetery. <mask> donated his wooden leg to the Australian War Memorial, Canberra, where it can sometimes be seen on display. Present
<mask>'s leg was previously on-loan to the Launceston museum and now is part of the Great War Exhibition open to the public after a $32 million redevelopment at the Australian War Memorial.Governor General Sir Peter Cosgrove launched the exhibition during a 22 February 2015 ceremony with a keynote address by veteran journalist Les Carlyon and performances from country music singer Lee Kernaghan, the Sydney Children's Choir, and the Royal Military College band. The permanent exhibition, titled 'Australia in the Great War,' presents the story of Australia's role in the conflict chronologically, covering all major theatres of operations: Gallipoli; the Western Front; Sinai and Palestine; and the war at sea.

He was Professor of Forensic Medicine in the University of London at Guy's Hospital, Lecturer in Forensic Medicine at the University of Oxford and a founding member and President of the Association of Forensic Medicine. <mask> became renowned for his post-mortems on high-profile murder cases, including the 1949 Acid Bath Murders committed by John George Haigh and the murder of gangster George Cornell, who was shot dead by Ronnie Kray in 1966. He pioneered forensic dentistry, and was prominent in alerting physicians and others to the reality of the battered baby syndrome. <mask> wrote a standard textbook on his subject and edited Taylor's Medical Jurisprudence, a basic work of reference of the British medical profession. Forty Years of Murder was <mask>'s autobiography and became an international best-seller in the late 1970s. He was London's first forensic pathologist to be recognised by the Home Office, and in 1975 his long public service was recognised with the award of a CBE.<mask> had by then gained the reputation of having performed more post-mortems than any other pathologist in the world. Career

By the age of 25 he was a teacher in the Pathology Department. In 1934 <mask> was made Supervisor of Medico-legal Post-Mortems and had his first case with Scotland Yard. In 1937 he was appointed Medico-legal advisor to Surrey Constabulary. In 1947 the student textbook Forensic Medicine, which <mask> wrote during the war, was published.Following the death of Bernard Spilsbury in the same year, <mask> became one of the leading forensic pathologists in Britain, with a string of important cases. In 1950, along with Francis Camps, Donald Teare and Professor Sydney Smith, <mask> formed the Association of Forensic Medicine. In 1963 he was elected to the Royal College of Pathologists. Two years later, <mask> addressed the annual meeting of the NSPCC and spoke on the topic of 'battered babies'. In addition to his scientific publications, popular works such as his 1978 autobiography Forty Years of Murder made his name familiar to the public. He practised medicine from 146 Harley Street and Guy's Hospital. Famous cases
 1942 Rachel Dobkin, murdered by her husband Harry.His blunder was to pour slaked lime on the body, which helped preserve it, rather than quicklime which would have corroded it. 1942 Joan Pearl Wolfe, victim of August Sangret in the "Wigwam murder". 1943 The Bethnal Green tube station disaster. 1946 Margery Gardner, murdered by Neville Heath. 1946 Consultant for the Surrey Police on the "Chalk-pit Murder". 1948 The death of Ananda Mahidol, King Ananda of Siam, <mask>'s first case outside Britain, when a Major-General of the Police of Siam asked his help interpreting what had happened. 1948 The "Gorringe case", in which <mask> used forensic odontology (the identification of an individual from their teeth and bite marks) to seal a murder conviction against Robert Gorringe for the murder of his wife Phyllis, one of the first recorded instances of such evidence being used in an English court.The crucial factor was that Phyllis died quickly, before bruising could distort the bite-marks. The death sentence on Gorringe was commuted and he was released on licence in 1957. 1949 After searching through fatty sludge, <mask> found gallstones, bones and dentures that identified Olive Durand Deacon as a victim of the "Acid Bath Murderer", John George Haigh. 1953 Exhumation of Beryl Evans after John Christie confessed to her murder. <mask> acted for Christie, observing the exhumation and post-mortem, which was performed by Francis Camps. 1956 Instructed by the Medical Defence Union in the defence of John Bodkin Adams, acquitted of murdering one of his patients. 1961 Michael Gregston and Valerie Storie, victims of James Hanratty, the "A6 murderer".1964 The Lydney Murder, a body later identified as Peter Thomas found near Lydney, and a significant case in the development of entomology for criminal investigation. 1965 The conviction of Laurence Dean for the murder of his son Michael was the first in England for "battered baby syndrome" and greatly raised awareness of the condition in Britain. 1966 George Cornell, victim of the Kray twins. 1967 Invited by the Canadian government to review the case of Steven Truscott after publication of the book The Trial of Steven Truscott on the case by Isabel LeBourdais. 1972 After Bloody Sunday, invited to re-examine the post mortem findings. <mask> agreed that the victims had been picked off by single shots, from distance, some from behind.

He was the only London forensic pathologist to be recognised as a Home Office pathologist and was a member of the Home Office Scientific Advisory Committee. A fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and the Royal College of Pathologists, <mask> received honorary degrees from the universities of Oxford, Edinburgh and Ghent.His long public service was recognised with the award of a CBE in 1975.

Cedric <mask> was born in 1907 near Brighton, Sussex, where his father was a GP. He attended Brighton, Hove and Sussex Grammar School and at 17 he enrolled at Guy's Hospital Medical School where he became a top student. In 1932 <mask> married Mary Buchanan, with whom he had three children (their only son later became a doctor). They were together until Mary's death from multiple sclerosis in 1955. <mask> married his secretary, Jean Scott-Dunn, in March 1956 and they lived in Marylebone.His second wife died of cancer in 1976. Janet Thurston, widow of fellow coroner Gavin Thurston, became his third wife in 1982. Teaching
He was a talented teacher, through both the spoken and the printed word. The first edition of his book <mask>'s Forensic Medicine was published in 1947, and in 1959 was awarded the Swiney Prize of the Royal Society of Arts as the best work on medical jurisprudence of the preceding ten years. Social Attitudes
His views on homosexuality reflected the times in which he had been brought up. In the 1979 edition of his textbook Forensic Medicine he stated (at p 214): " "Homos" and "queer" have become almost playful epithets, and the psychiatrist has done little but excuse or condone such practices. They are rotting the fabric of the arts as well as the more solid principles of family life, and the law properly regards such unnatural sex practices with a stern eye."To one of his nurses, at a postmortem of a woman who had died as a result of a botched illegal abortion, he had said that "he saw at least two young girls a week who died as a result of septic abortions", and that he was adamant that abortion should be legalised. Death
He died 21 July 1985, the day after his 78th birthday. Image files

Works
<mask> and her husband are said to have "worked together on their literary activities." <mask>'s first known published story was "How They Cured Him", which appeared in The Youth's Companion (March 24, 1887), one of several written for that periodical. Some of the Youth's Companion tales form a loose series centering on holidays and featuring recurring characters; some of the early Dulwich tales were also published in that magazine. However, <mask>'s tales for Scribner's Magazine, beginning with "As Haggards of the Rock" (May 1890), attracted more notice, and the initial six of them, including also "A Truce", "A Portion of the Tempest", "From Macedonia", "Deep as First Love", and "A Fragment of a Play, With a Chorus", were collected in her first book, A Truce, and Other Stories (1895). None of her other short stories were gathered into book form in her lifetime. Much of her fiction dealt with American university life, often set in the fictional college town she called Dulwich in her short stories and The Test, and Great Dulwich in her other novels, which combines elements of both Kenyon College and Harvard University.Her novels are all set in college towns, the third and fourth in Dulwich itself (the first and second also mention it peripherally). Her first novel, Aliens (1902), attracted much attention when it appeared for its portrait of contemporary northerners in the racially tense Southern town of Tallawara. The next, The Test (1904), the story of a wronged young woman, received mixed reviews for what some perceived as its unpleasant subject matter and unsympathetic characters, though it was generally praised as well written. The Tower (1906) was described as "a love story placed against the life of a college community taken from the faculty side and told with deep understanding and the most delicate art" and The Charioteers (1912) as "a story of the social life and environment of college professors and their families." <mask>'s first four books were published by Charles Scribner's Sons, the fifth being issued by D. Appleton & Company after having been rejected by the Houghton Mifflin Company. Close to half of her short pieces appeared in Scribner's Magazine; others appeared in The Youth's Companion, Christian Union and its successor The Outlook, The Independent, Harper's Magazine, Harper's Weekly, and an anthology of works by various authors. She also contributed a book review to the North American Review.All of <mask>'s novels are currently available in e-editions on Book Search. Aliens was reprinted by Kessinger Publishing, LLC, in June, 2007; The Tower was reprinted by Kessinger in December, 2008. <mask>'s previously uncollected short stories were issued in new collections by Fleabonnet Press from December, 2007-November 2008. Critical reception
In her writing <mask> was praised as having "a keen sense of humor, good descriptive powers, a good working knowledge of human nature, an effective style" and the ability to "tell a story well." Her skill at characterization was also noted. Papers
<mask>'s papers, including correspondence and original manuscripts and fragments, are found in various archival collections at the Harvard University Library and the Houghton Library at Harvard College. An early commonplace book from 1870–77, containing mostly poetry, is in the <mask> family papers at the Massachusetts Historical Society.Bibliography
