S PORTS. Throngs of Candidates Crop Up for Berths With Barnstorming G < YOUNGLINKS PROS CROWD YETERANS New Stars Are So Numerous Picking 12 for National Lot Will Be Task. BY W. R. McCALLUM. P THERE is one thing the P. G. A. championship at Oklahoma City l has proved it is that the old golf truism, “They make ’‘em tough everywhere,” is as good as ever it was. With Sarazen bumped off by Alvin | Kreuger, erstwhile minor league base | ball player; Paul Runyan whipped by & guy known to the divot-lifting trade as Al Zimmerman and other first-line pros knocked out by gents whose | names are seldom heard outside their | home towns, the P. G. A. title joust, the only big time match-play affair in which the pros participate, begins | to resemble the national amateur | championship. In that amateur tourney it is com- mon practice for the big shots to be bumped off by unknowns and for these same unknowns to have their brief taste of glory and newspaper flare- heads before they, in turn, are licked by some perhaps not as well known. But it isn't the usual thing in the‘ P. G. A. championship, where for | years the talent has held sway until | the latter rounds of the tourney, when the big shots oegin to bump each other off. Kirkwood Got His Lesson. JOE KIRKWOOD, golf's greatest globe trotter, who has sounded the far-away places of the world in search of pelf with his array of trick shots, has insisted for years that no matter where you go there will be a local pride who can knock off the topliners on his home course. He leamed that some years back at 2 place called Lima, Ohio, where a fellow named Larry Nabholtz handed him a hand-made trimming. Larry subsequently made his way into the big time, but that wasn't Joe's only experience with the tank town shot- makers. He has taken his trimmines in many spots and from fellows with nothing more than a local reputation. Good Golfers Evervwhere. THEY say that class will tell in golf, as in any other sport, and usually 1t does just that. But good golf and good shotmaking are not alone a mo- nopoly of the men who Wi the big | championships. Good golfers grow in | every hamlet which sports a golf | course, where a kid without nerves | and with plenty of confidence learns to play under the pressure that fits | him for bigger tests. | Golf today is not dominated by any e group or group of groups. Any- | where you go you can find a good | golfer. All of which means that the P. G. A. is to have plenty of trouble picking | the 12 gents who will go out under | its banner next year as tournament players. For the P. G. A. intends to go through with its scheme of paying | about a dozen professionals to do nothing but play in tournaments. They will be chosen on the strength | of their records during the coming | Winter, but they can't overlook the | P. G. A. championship when they | start doing the picking. Army, Yale Seek Edge in Eli Bowl WEST POINT, N. Y., October 23. —When Army and Yale meet in the Bowl on Saturday for the thirty-fifth game of a color- ful series that started in 1893, two undefeated teams will be striving to break a deadlcck of five vic- tories apiece and four ties which have resulted in the 14 games played at New Haven. From 1893 to 1912 all games were played at West Point, with Yale winning 13, losing 3 and tying 4. Since 1921 all games have been played in the Yale Bowl. AGGRESSIVE VIRGINIA! WILL TACKLE V. M. I. Eleven Is Keyed to High Pitch for “Homecoming Day” Game Saturday. NIVERSITY, Va., October 23.— Virginia's game with V. M. L Saturday afternoon in Scott Stadium is of vital importance to the Cavaliers for a number of reasons. It will be Virginia's first appearance against a Southern Conference rival, after five meetings with non-member teams. A victory "would place me‘ Cavaliers up with the leaders, a defeat | would start them out on the heels of the pack. Virginia has been showing a more aggressive spirit in competition against major rivals this season and the boys are getting themselves keyed to fight- ing pitch for this game. A defeat would be just the inspiration needed to fit them for more brilliant play against Maryland, Washington and Lee, V. P. I. and North Carolina. Next Saturday will be homecoming day for university alumni, and the Cavaliers are full of hope that they'll | be at their best before the old grads.

PR!MED to begin competition for the first trophy ever at stake among the prep schools of ‘Washington, Gonzaga and St. John’s were going through only light workouts today, preparatory to taking the field at Gonzaga Fied at Benning tomorrow afternoon. The referee’s whistle will send them into action at 3:30 o'clock. Tomorrow’s game is the first of a three-game series involving Gonzaga, St. John's and Georgetown Prep. They are the only three prep schools in the city able and willing to form an un- official league, every game of which is regarded as more than just another contest. Ignore Season Records. EA.RLY-SEASON records of both of tomorrow’s rivals will be forgot- ten when they line up against each other. Gongaza has won one game out of three; St. John's best showing was a tie in the first of its three con- tests. But both schools are experimenting with extremely young teams this year, although nine men who faced each | other last year will be in the starting line-ups. Gonzaga has five seniors on | won't cause them to battle any the |its team—Pete Brew at end, Bill Mc- | less in future contests, but a victory | Cray at tackle, Carl Hechmer at guard, | Dick Murphy at center and Ray Gorm- ley at fullback. St. John's boasts of | four veterans—Capt. Leo Dunn, quar- | terback; Red Lacey, guard; Jimmy Vogts, center, and Johnny Buckley, | halfback. Remaining members of the two teams average slightly under 16 years of age. Last year the rivals played to a scoreless tie. St. John's also was deadlocked by Georgetown Prep, a re- sult which didn't set so well with Irving Holbrook's cadets. Lacey Is Dynamo. N ADDITION to his veterans, Hol- brook is looking to “Red” Lacey, a fiery youth, to play his usual bang- up game at guard. Lacey has been the dynamo in the power line, which has stopped everything but Central this year. Outside of the slaughter | by the Blue and White last Friday, only one touchdown has been scored | on St. John's in two games. Gonzaga's line, which has yielded one less touchdown than the Cadets’, seems to be in a good position to ward off the little soldiers. Although | somewhat light, Coach Orrell Mitchell | can bolster its weight through the in- sertion of Mike Clairvaux, 190-pound tackle. DRUGGING SUSPECT HELD ANNAPOLIS, Md., October 23 (#). —Authorities pressed today for an | early trial for Charlie Brown, 46 | year-old Negro groom, held for in- vestigation in connection with the drugging of a race horse at the Laurel track. AND e by P CTING on the tip that the blues and rockfish were biting in the bay I took two of The Star's anglers, C. A. “Larry” Linthicum and Newman Sudduth, down to Solomons Monday. Using & spinner with a comparative- 1y small hook, we caught 23 rock, and had the water been calm the total probably would have been tripled. All weighed from 1 to 2 pounds. After half an hour Sudduth got a vicious strike and landed a blue, about 2)2 pounds, and shortly afterward I also hooked a blue. There were times when the water was discolored with | blood, meaning, of course, that the blues were killing the small rock. But we don’t advise anglers to make a special trip for the blues because it is doubtful how long they will remain. We do most enthusiastically tell all that there are plenty of rockfish to be caught at Solomons Island, how- ever, and the best way to land them 1s to use a spinner—a June-bug spin- ner—either with a small hook or one about the 5-0 size, with a bloodworm attached. It you get any kind of a strike, but fall to catch your fish, reel in and place another bloodworm on the hook, because it's & 100-to-1 shot that Mr. Rockfish has your worm in his stom- ach. Rockfish, though, are particu- larly attracted by small eels and the long bloodworms fool him and cannot be resisted. OCKFISH are being landed all along the bay and in the lower Potomac off St. George's Island and ‘Tall Timbers. Last Sunday 64 were caught in three hours off North Beach, Md,, by William Fischer, John Frasser, R. A. Davis, William Fischer, jr, and Bernard “Brownie” Ward, Wwho were led by Capt. Tom Henley. Thelr catch averaged from 1 to 2% pounds and all were caught trolling. After running out of bait, Fischer told of using pieces of red inner tube!

Sam Tillett assured McCallum | that fishing was over for the season. | LARGE-MOUTH black bass| weighing almost 6 pounds was landed last Sunday in Gunston Cove by C. E. Ingling, jr. The largest landed so far this season, it was caught with a 5-ounce casting rod and a white buck tail spinner. Ac-| companying Ingling were his father, | former commodore of the Corinthian Yacht Club; L. W. Walker, and Dr. Harry W. Smith. The last-named also caught a large-mouth black bass weighing 5 pounds 4 ounces. The total catch of the quartet was 22 bass, running from 1 to 3 pounds, in addition to Ingling’s prize. After a recent failure, Carl Wrink- ler returned to Solomons last Sunday, accompanied by his wife and child, and landed eight good sized sea trout, five hardhead and one big blue, Charles Maggio- of 315 E street northeast caught a 3-pound 9-ounce large-mouth bass in the Washington Channel Sunday night. It was 18 inches long. A contest for ihe catching of the | largest big-mouth black bass has been started by Sid Atlas, 418 Ninth street northwest. Atlas will give a $10 Pfleuger rod, or reel, for the largest fish weighed at his store up until No- vember 30. This makes the third cur- rent contest for anglers, others being staged by Fries, Beall & Sharp and the Hecht Co. BIG-MOUTH BASS weighing 5 pounds, 4 ounces was the prize 1 !Iow Gunston Cove. This big bass was | caught with a shimmy wiggler. In the doctor’s party were Clarence Ing- lind and L. W. Walker. Their total | catch was 12 bass, running in size | from 21; pounds to the big one | landed by Dr. Smith. | Cne of the largest small-mouth bass caught this season was landed Sunday by Robert F. Murtaugh, fish- ing in the Potomac about 1 mile above Cabin John. This bronze beauty weighed 434 pounds, measured 22 inches in length and had a girth of 121 inches. It was landed with a South Bend rod, Shakespeare reel and 12-pound-test line. A nice, big smelt was the cause of his downfall. FISHING last Thursday off Solo- mons Island, R. A. Burton, Daniel Sailor and Carl Winkler, who claim to have a favorite hole in the river where they always land fish, caught four fairly good size sea trout, five | medium size blues and 21 black ses bass weighing from 1 to 2!, pounds. Another fishing party selecting Broomes Island as their | ground landed 42 rockfish. They had |as their guide Capt. Walter Elliott |and fished on the St. Marys side of the Patuxent. Their fish ranged from 1% to 2 pounds. Plenty of rockfish are in the Patux- ent around Solomons Island and farther upstream off St. Leonards Creek, Broomes Island and other places. Large white perch are beigg caught in the Patuxent off San Gates, located between Broomes Island and Sheridan Point. With the departure of the bluefish the anglers have turned their atten- tion to the rockfish. This specles is more numerous this Fall than for many years, being landed almost everywhere, even from the pier at Chesapeake Beach. A, H. G. MEARS at Wachapreague, Va., says “fishing simply is won- derful at this season.” All varieties that strike on Northern fishing grounds are returning and find excel- lent feeding bottoms and will remain with us until about November 15, he reports. He says sea trout now are Smith fishing in Big Marsh, running good and many large croakers or hardhead are being landed.

He might have knocked them both out. Per- haps rather quickly. But that is something we don't know. “Balance—both on the mental and physical side—is one of the big factors in sport. “It isn’'t any trick to keep your mental poise and balance when yow soon find the other fellow isn't even going to hit at you. It isn't hard to keep your physical balance when no one even tries to crowd you. Louis, facing the Dempsey of Toledo, would have a lot of things to worry about that he has never had to bother with so far. In the wake of that Dempsey charge, with both hands shooting for head or body, where speed, power and courage were combined, he would never be able to keep the same physical | balance he showed against such easy targets as Carnera, Levinsky and Baer, who were out before they ever entered the ring. “The pressure of competition, espe- cially hard competition, can make a terrific difference in form and style and final results. “Certain golfers can look like the greatest in the world.

If they had met, I don’t think Wills would have gone three rounds. Sharkey, Paulino and even Firpo, who couldn’t box a lick, proved that. “I am willing to concede that Louis is the best-equipped ringman I ever saw—up to the point of knowing what he might do against a real fighter willing to fight—against a good, fast left-hand with & good one-two. No one can tell me he can't be hit, be- cause I know he can. There never was a fighter who couldn't be hit— and hurt. But how many fighters ever had a chance to reach the top against such feeble marks as Carnera, Levinsky and Baer—three opponents who made no effort of any kind to fight a lick, “If Louis had been up against the Harry Greb I first fought in Madison Square Garden, he would at least have known he had been in a battle when that wildcat came to him claw- ing, punching and mauling with both hands busy, backed up by a heart as big as two rings. “I am taking nothing away from Louis. It wouldn’t surprise me a bit to see him champion for the next six or seven years. “Just at this moment there isn't any one even close. But we have all seen too many supermen who were not quite so super against game, skillful competition. I still say that it is the test under hard competition that gives the final answer—and that is some- thing, in the case of Louis, that we still have to wait for. “It is even possible that Louis will prove himself even greater against real competition than he has looked against no competition at all.

Barred From Pools. BY A. D. STEFFERUD, Assoclated Press Stafl Writer. ERLIN, October 23—Two an- swers are given the question, “Can Jews in Germany par- ticipate in the 1936 Olympics?” One is that the German Olympic Committee, speaking from an inter- national viewpoint, is autonomous and can bar Jews without assigning a rea- son. The other involves the query, “Can Jews in Germany train freely?” Jews | attach greater significance to this, for in it lies the point whether Jews are given opportunities to prepare them- selves for tryouts. Jews assert that while the federal sports leader’s regulations provide for the pre-Olympic training of Jewish clubs, functionaries, including the S. A. and secret police, make impossible | the proper preparation of Jews. In nearly all communities, the Jews point out, swimming pools may not be used by Jews. In most cities the use of halls and athletic grounds is denied Jews. In at least one instance—at Mein- ingen—an athletic field belonging to Jews was laid waste. Simitic Clubs Are Disbanded. JE’WISH athletic organizations have been forced to disband. One such, J the “Jewi Turn and Sport Club, 1905," was banned by secret police because its women members com- peted against members of the women's auxiliary of the Berlin policemen’s sport clubs. The “Tennis Club of the Year 1933 | in Hamburg was dissolved. No reason was given. Because of these considerations, Jews say, participation of members of their race is virtually impossible. They add that the training of their youths has been out of the question in the last two years because they cannot compete against Aryans and that hindrances to good performances —such as “moral and mental oppres- that in previous months were per- mitted to compete against Aryans. Only in Jewish circles are the names mentioned of Jewish athletes who were successful in earlier Olym- pics. Jews Held Non-Impressive. AN OFFICIAL in the staff of Reichs' sport leader, Hans von Tscham- mer Und Osten, said no Jew survived the first Olympic tryouts in Germany because peflqrmmcea were not good enough. Newspapers also declared, for ex- ample, that Jews participating in the Brandenburg contests—for the prov- ince including Berlin—did so poorly that they cannot be considered for Olympic teams. On the other hand, Jews point to the following details: The Jewish Makkabi sport organ- ization has a 400-meter team that it Among other members are the dis- tance runner, Bar Kochba, a com- petitor in the Paris Olympics; Kurt Lewin, Berlin University titleholder; Martel Jacob, javelin champion, and others all of whom had planned, or hoped, in vain to enter the Olympic preliminaries. An exception has been made in the case of Fraulein Gretel Bergmann, Jewish girl high jumper, who has been invited to train under German Olympic coaches. On her perform- ances, however, she is not assured a place on the Olympic team.
