SPORTS. - Racial St ANTLSEMITIC ROW N LS, IS FEARED Sherrill Warns of Likely Resentment if Athletes Don’t Go to Germany. By the Associated Press. EW YORK, October 22.—Brig. Gen. Charles H. Sherrill, American member of the In- ternational Olympic Commit- tee, holds out the possibility that American athletes may resent at- tempts by Jews to thwart Americans’ chances of competing in the Olympic games, causing anti-Semitic trouble here. Returning from a seven-week stay in Germany yesterday, he said: “You've got 500,000 athletes in this country preparing to try for the Olympic games and a trip to Ger- many. “Now then, if these athletes sud- denly realize that about 5,000,000 Jews out of the approximately 120,- 000,000 people in this country are ate tempting or have succeeded in de- priving them of their opportunity, we are almost certain to have anti-Se- mitic trouble that will last for many years.” Takes Issue With Mahoney. ’l‘HE general, a former Yale sprinter, took issue with Jeremiah T. Ma- honey of New York, president of the Amateur Athletic Union of the United States, who had suggested that Dr. ‘Theodore Lewald, president of the German Olympic Committee, resign. Mahoney said Dr. Lewald was “be- ing used as a screen to conceal the German government's most flagrant violations of Olympic ideals of fair play to all” Gen. Sherrill, who declined to com- ment on a request by the *Committee on Fair Play in Sports” that he urge the withdrawal of the United States from the competition, said: “It does not concern me one bit the way the Jews in Germany are being treated, any more than the lynching of Negroes in the South of our own country. Lewald Says All Have Chance. “(ERMANY has invited two out- standing Jewisi athletes—Helene Mayer, the fencer, rnd Gretel Berg- mann, the high jumper—to partici- pate on German Olympic teams. Whether or not they accept the invi- tation does not matter. Germany has done her part by mviting them, in good faith. That ought to answer eny charges of discrimination.” In Berlin, Dr. Lewald, in reply to Mahoney's charges, said: “Every Jew and every German Catholic has ex- actly the same chance and right to compete for places on our 1936 Olym- pic teams as any athlete of another confessjon.” He denied that he was being used 85 a “screen” and said there were about ten Jewish athletes training in German Olympic camps, adding: “For all of them the possibility of participating in the Olympics exists, depending upon their performance.” No Questions About Religion. In defense of Nazi athletic policies, Dr. Lewald insisted that no candi- date for German Olympic teams had been asked about his or her religion. Characterizing the accusations of Mahoney as “unfair,” he said: “It will be deplorable if the United Btates refuses to participate and would mean that the Olympics will lose a great deal of their glorious splendor. We cannot believe this possible.” TOURNEY ADVANCES T0 SECOND ROUND 'HREE ranking table tennis players of the District tonight see their first action in the Tara Club’s tourna- ment now being played in the club rooms at 7701 Georgia avenue—Ed- uardo M.

There is an upper limit of scoring credit against each class. Therefore it means no more for a class 1 team to make 100 to 0 against a class 8 team | than to make 50 to 0. On the other hand, it boosts a lower-class team con- siderably to take a higher-class team into camp. ‘The ratings following include games through October 19. 287 Millsaps.. 3 288 Rutgers.

CROWN Revolta - Zimmerman Vic- tor to Play Armour-Wat- rous Survivor in Final. By the Associated Press. KLAHOMA CITY, OQctober O 22—Youth met youth and age met age today as semi- finalists squared off in the national tournament of the Profes- sional Golfers’ Association. And tomorrow the twain shall meet! Matched after four bitterly-fought quarter-final matches, there seemed little choice between the four seekers of the national professional title. The youngsters within reach of the coveted crown are blond Al Zimmer- Portland, Ore, new to such gihead whose rise in golf has been of 8 & skyrocket nature, Johnny Revolta, | the “sole surviving member of the | Ryder Cup team. Armour Eliminates Dudley. THE men of experience, in the other bracket, were the rapidly graying but yet sterling Tommy Armour, and Al Watrous, who has flirted with major championships on many occasions but never quite hooked one. Zimmerman could lay heavy claim to the honors, for he dethroned the little king of the P. G. A, Paul Run- yan, in a brilliant exhibition yesterday. But it was his antagonist, Revolta, who disposed of the medalist, Walter Hagen. Revolta had his hands full for a | time yesterday in handling Eddie Schultz of Troy, N. Y., but finally put the deadly marksman down, 4 to 2. Armour was carried three extra holes for his 1-up victory over Ed Dudley. Both were erratic, but Armour came forth with a keener game in the aft- ernoon session to maintain the 1-up lead he held at lunchtime. ‘Watrous’ Steadiness Factor. N DEFEATING Horton Smith, Wat- rous remained steady in the face of a sparkling series of birdies. Smith had hook trouble in the first round and his putter seemed out of whack, while ‘Watrous required only 1 over par to gain a 3-up lead. Toward the end Smith turned on the heat by holing & 35-foot putt, but Watrous delivered in the pinch and also came through with & birdie, from 10 feet. Smith made another bold stroke in | the thirty-fourth, the next hole, where he curled a 4-footer perfectly to dodge a stymie, but Watrous could not be shaken from par. Watrous’ putter was his mainstay. Zimmerman used two strokes less than par in eliminating Runyan. The 1934 champion, at his best on the 1 2 8 8 ty 7 Txn scheduled District of Co- lumbia open golf championship has been taken under the pro- tecting wing of the District Golf Association and will be run off by the association. All the golf pros con- nected with clubs about the Capital will gather at the Indian Spring Coun= try Club next Monday and Tuesday to compete over the 72-hole route for a purse which will total between $200 and $300, which is cigarette money to some of the boys, but will amount to fairly heavy dough to the winner. Notices went out yesterday from the association that entries will be re- ceived by Secretary William C. Barr for the tournament.

ERLIN, October 22.—A sweeping Nazi offensive against Jews and the ap- proach of the 1936 Olympics throw a sharp light on the position of Jewish athletes in Germany. Jews are being relentlessly ejected from the general social, cultural, economic and professional fields, while strong pressure—which the Jews themselves call intimidation and discrimination—is brought to bear against Semitic sports organi- zations. An amount of frank publicity ac- by nosing out a hard - fighting Pitt | and Marion Falls. The presentation | Always Made Louis “Right.” JEVERY prediction Blackburn made to Louis has been fulfilled. If Blackburn told Louis that he could whip an opponent in three rounds, the Detroit Bomber, with supreme confle dence, went out and did that very thing. Louis refused to make a move either in the ring or concerning pend- ing matches until Blackburn gave his approval. Fourteen months ago, Blackburn, himself a former great fighter, took charge of Louis’ training and devel- oped him from a $50 fighter to the greatest box office attraction in the game today. He :spent hours with Louis in the gymnasium teaching him tricks of the trade. Much of Blackburn's great feinting and boxing ability was instilled into the Zl-year-old heavyweight chal- lenger. Taught Joe Gans' Style, OSSESSED of natural strength and skill, Louis’ style developed amaz- ingly under Blackburn's tutelage. His theory of boxing was the old Joe Gans’ style—to shuffie in close and never allow his opponent to set the pace. By always crowding in and tak- ing the offense his theory was to keep the opponent anxious and guessing and never giving him an opportunity to rest. ‘That was Blackburn's teaching in- stilled into the sensational Detroit Negro. Thirty years ago, Blackburn, now 52 years old, was one of the great lightweights. He fought them all from the lights to the heavyweights, never caring what his opponents weighed. One of his standout victories over heavyweights was a six-round de- cision over John Willie of Chicago, & strapping 205 pounder, then re- garded as a stumbling block for heavye weight challengers.
