WESTLAND CROWNED
VESTS GOLF CHAMP
Chicago Broker Scores His First
Major Victory, With College
Star as Victim.

BY the Associated Press.
NTEMPHIS. Tenn, July 31.-Jack
lNl Westland took the Western
amateur golf championship back
to Chicago today.
The imperturbable La Sale street
broker pitted his eight years of competi-
tive experience against the stouter
drives Of 21-year-old Rodney Bliss Of
Omaha here yesterday to take three
and two victory in the finals.
Bliss, the national intercollegiate
runner-up, fought gamely under the
merciless Sabbath sun. but the calm.
deliberative Westland pursued relent-
less fight that would not be denied.
The victory brought Westland his
first major American title. member
of the 1892 Walker Cup team and the
former French amateur champion, his
principal American achievement was in
1881 when he was runner-up to Francis
Ouimet in the national amateur.
Bliss had several opportunities to
take the advantage as he and Westland
began their morning round, but his
putting was not up to standard and
matched Westland's early weakness with
his irons.

PERRY AND AUSTIN
SURVIVE IRON TEST
Defeat of Australia, U. S. and
France in Row Epic in
Davis Cup Annals.
BY GRANTLAND RICE.

TINE victory of the British Isles
which in this case means Eng
land-in the last Davis Cup test
Is one of the outstanding fea-
lures Of the year in sport.
For 27 years, Australia, the United
States and France have practically
taken charge of the leading tennis
trophy.
Yet through most of this period Eng
land has been the leading tennis coun-
try of the world.
Certainly in the last 10 years or
more Wimbledon has dominated the
game. 1t has been the big show. 1t
has attracted the greatest talent and
the greatest crowds. 1t has attracted
the greatest general interest.
English True Amateur.
VYyITH France holding the cup
w there was a great three-col
nered race among England, the
United States and Australia.
Englands leading entries were Fred
Perry and Bunny Austin.
The United States had Vines and
Allison, with Van Ryn and Lott for the
doubles.
Australia had Crawford and Nc
Grath.
Crawford of Australia was the out
standing star of the entire collection,
if you include Wimbledon.
But it was the young English side
that beat Australia, the United States
and France in turn-possibly the hard
est assignment ever given any Davis
Cup team for 80 years.
So here is where all the credit lies
It might be said also that England
hasn't taken the Davis Cup ownership
nearly as seriously as the United States
and France.
That is all the more credit to the
English side. It is much more of a
victory for amateur sport, as amateur
sport ought to be, but SO rarely is.

Ky FREDERICK OECHsNER United Press Stan Correspondent

Berlin, Sept 2s.--(Up)-The Nazi government has put its first brake on the campaign to eliminate Jews from the national life.
 Though Germans were left to figure out for themselves the mean . ing of official declarations against boycott of Jewish business firms, two factors were seen as contribute ing:
 1.-The insistent demand at Geneva that the current league of nations assembly consider the ai- legged oppression of German Jews
 2--The fear of conservative Maxi leaders that radical colleagues by demanding the complete elimina- ton of Jews from business, are en- danEering the economic equilib- rum just when the government program Is to meet its first severe test with the coming of winter and the seasonal increase in unem- ployment.
 It is agreed generally that the declaration against boycott, made by Minister of Economics schmitt who termed discrimination "insupportable," did not mean q change of front in the Nazi party's : anti-semitic campaign.
 It was viewed as evidence that the moro conservative element viewed as dangerous the incroas- ingly importunate demands of some party members for an in- tensiflcation of the campaign.
