I've been reading a collection of local newspaper articles about Johnston City, and noticed the name Fred Bentivegna appearing often in 1970. For example, in first round One Pocket results, Fred beats Cisero Murphy 4-0. Also later in the week, he tops Larry Lisciotti, 4-3 before losing 4-0 to Boston Shorty and 4-3 to Ronnie Allen.
The Beard also played in the 9-Ball division, where he fared well. With wins over Jr. Goff 11-9, Steve Cook 11-7 and Wade Crane(!!) 11-10. These are just random results that show up in the local press. He must have lost eventually, because this was the year that the young Keith Thompson won the 9-ball and went on to win the all-around -- at 18 years old!!
