CROWD VETERANS
New Stars Are So Numerous
Picking II for National
Lot Will Be Task.
BY w. r. McCALLUM.

IF THERE is one thing the P. G. A.
championship at Oklahoma City
has proved it is that the old golf
u truism. They make EN- 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
a guy known to the divot lifting trade
as AL Zimmerman and other flrst-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 we'll known.
But it isn't the usual thing in the
p. G. A. championship, where for
SColo JAlC pulCilU 4lclo AlClN SWAY
the latter rounds of the tourney, when
the big shots begin to bump each
other off.
Kirkwood Got His Lesson.
Joe KIRKWOOD, COLTS 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 learned that some years back at
a place called Lima. Ohio. where a
fellow named Larry Nabholtz handed
him handmade 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 trimmings
In many spots and from fellows with
nothing more than a local reputation.
Good Golfers Everywhere.
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 win the big
championships. Good golfers grow in
every hamlet which sports a golf
course, where 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
one 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 II gents who will go out under
its banner next year as tournament
players. For the P. G. A. intends to
60 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.

Jews Held on-Impressive.

SCWS I1clu NOu.ImpfeSSlVe.
A N OFFICIAL in the staff of Reichs'
sport leader, Hans Won Tscham-
mer Und Osten, said no Jew survived
the first Olympic tryouts in Germany
because performances 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 400-meter team that 1t
claims to be the best In Germany.
Among other members are the dis
lance runner, Bar Kochba, a COM
petitor In the Paris Olympics; Kurt
Levin, 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 Bergman,
Jewish girl high jumper, who has
been invited to train under German
Olympic coaches. On her perform
ances, however, she Is not assured q
place on the Olympic team.

Ignore Season Records.

FARLY-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. Johns 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
its team-Pete Brew at end, Bill Nc
Cray at tackle, Carl Hechmer at guard,
Dick Murphy at center and Ray CORN
ley at fullback. st. Johns 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 Is years
of age.
Last year the rivals played to a
scorelesS tie. st. Johns also was
deadlocked by Georgetown Prep, a re-
suit which didn't set so well with
Irving Holbrook's cadets.

~ ERLIN, October 23.-Two an
x swers are given the question,
Can Jews in Germany par
- ticipate in the 1886 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 1t lies the point whether Jews are
given opportunities to prepare them
selves for tryoutS.
Jews assert that while the federal
sports leaders regulations provide fo-
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 Mem
ingen-an athletic field belonging to
Jews was laid waste.
Simitic Clubs Are Disbanded.
JEWISH athletic organizations have
been forced to disband. One such,
the Jewish Turn and Sport Club,
1905" was banned by secret police
because its women members COM
peted against members OF the womens
auxiliary of the Berlin policemens
sport clubs.
The Tennis Club of the Year 1898"
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-
sion"-are placed before the few Jews
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.

DR. CARL WEISS
 WAS BRILLIANT
 YOUNG SURGEON
Very Popular in College Class; lie Was of Very
 Quiet Nature ,

Baton Rouge, La. Sept. 9.-- HP1--Dr Carl A. Weiss, who shot Senator 4Huey P. Long and was in- xtRutly killed by the senator's s bodysuard, was known among his Classmates and professors at Tu- lane University as a brilliant stu dent. The Tulane year book for 1927, Dr. Weiss graduation year contains the following prophetic line under his picture: with Knowledge aplenty and friends galore, he is bound to go out and make the world take notice.
 Popular in Class
 He was secretary-treasure of his class. a member of Phi Rho Sigma medical fraternity and was graduated from the arts and sci ences school at Tulane before en- tering the medical college. Friends of the doctor, who was 30. describ- ed him as extremely studious. He had one hobby playing a trumpet in the university band. After com pleting his studies at Tulane, he went to Paris where he worked in the American hospital. He took postgraduate work in medicine in New York. When he came to Baton Rouge he practiced with his father. Dr. z. A. Weiss, Sr, former presi- dent of the Louisiana Medical as- sociatioD. An uncle of the young doctor. Dr. O. A. Weiss, dentist, said his nephew's interests were entirely professional and that he was of a quiet nature" He said he had no idea what might have motivated the shooting.
 Married But Short Time
 pr. Weiss was married little over a year ago to Miss Yvonne Paw, daughter of Judge E. H.. Payy, Opelousas; anti-Long lead CT. A son was born three months ago. Legislation pending before the Louisiana legislature sought 10 onst Judge Payy and many be- lieved this may have been the pri- mary motive behind Dr. Weiss at. tempt to kill Long. Dr. John Lam ford, Under whom Dr. Weiss work ed at Touro infirmary, New Or leans, said that he was the very highest type of man" His profes- sional work was brilliant, Dr. Lanford added. Dr. Weiss special ized in eye, ear and throat work.

Not more than five minutes earlier I had talked with Long on the floor of the house of representatives. walked through the ante-room of the gov ernor's office to double doors lead ing into the marble corridor of the states magnificent 34-story capitol building.
 Just as my hand clutched hte knob of the door, heard a muffled shot. Jerking the door open, saw Senator Long walking away, his hand to his side. Almost at my feet I saw Murphy Roden. young war veteran and member of the state highway police assigned to guard duty with Senator Long, struggling with a white-clad man. A shot was fired. couldn't tell which of the struggling men fired. Roden backed away, firing.
 The man with whom he had been struggling pitched forward on his face, his right arm crooked and his head pillowed in the crook of his arm. He gave a strangled cry. Then half a dozen men, of- ficers in plain clothes, began firing at him. Tn German luger with which he had shot Senator Long slipped from his hand. His body trembled and stiffened as bullet after bullet thudded into 1t.
 The crash of the exploding re- volvers drowned out the sound of Speaker Allen Ellender who at that moment was announcing over the house amplifiers that the leg islature was adjourned until 10 a.. m. Monday, the calendar having been cleared. Above the drone of the speakers voice the vicious orackle of the pistols brought the department spectators crowding down from the house galleries and for a moment created a near panic. Col. +. P. Roy, commanding the state highway police, hurried forward and took charge. He post ed a police guard about the still, blood-spattered body lying outside the governors door.
 Governor Allen rushed into the outer office, demanding to know what had happened. "Is Huey hurt !' he asked me. "I don't think he is," lied. And then to no one in particular. Governor Allen re- marked, somebody give me a pis- tol If there is any shooting to be done here I want to be in on 1t. D No one had gun they wanted to surrender, apparently. Lieut.. Gov. James A.

New Orleans, La, Sept. UP) Sen. Huey F. Longs dictatorship over Louisiana tottered today while he fought for his life.
 His empire would crumble to ruin the moment he died
 His powers are intangible. He controls the votes of legislators. the obedience of state officials; the destinies of all officeholders. But he has no true authority himself.
 All the dictatorial laws he man euyered to get control of the gov ernment were exercised through subserVient executives and depart nents, which were not correlated
 T am the constitution" Long said once.
 To those who asked; Could Long have achieved his power In anothet state? The answer is: Probably not

 Louisiana's government wa $ made to order for him. It concen- trates unusual powers over state boards in the hands of the goyer- nor This dates back to reconstruc- ton days when the framework for the present Louisiana consultation was drafted.

 Baton Rouge, La, Sept. 9-(UP) Senator Long collapsed in my arms when he was shot,
 The senator had just left the house of representatives, chamber to walk 100 yards along the cor riders leading to Governor o. K. Aliens office.
 Unsuspecting any danger, he was swinging along the hall. The stran- ger, who was later identified as pr. Carl A. Weiss, who was standing opposite the entrance to Gov. AL lens office, hidden behind a marble pillar, stepped out.
 In his hand was a German Luger pistol.
 The assassin pointed the gun at Longs stomach.
 Sen. Long instantly grasped at the gun and spun around. He par italy defiected the bullet which en- tered his right side.
 Senator Staggered Away
 Senator Long staggered a couple of paces. Instantly, Murphy Roden of the state highway police, sprang on the assailant, his gun drawn.
 Weiss got away and more than half q dozen policemen opened fire. The mans body was literally rid - dled with bullets.

tCOntinued from Page l) ths office of the governors secre- tarY into the corridor.
 "We'll have to have all our men here tomorrow" Long said as he stood in the office door and he repeated the same expression as he walked into the corridor. DArmond testified.
 "I did not see the shooting, ' D'Armond said. T heard the first shot from the governors office and was afraid to venture out"
 He said Long was with Roden but had just turned away from him into the corridor at the time of the shooting.
 He Fired Quickly
 Frampton said Dr. Weiss darted out and fired two shots at Long before Roden could grapple with the physician and stop his fire,
 Weiss and Roden bent nearly to the floor in the struggle, Frampton said.
 Finally, they backed slowly away from each other and Roden fired at him.
 Then several of Longs body guards and police began firing, he said.
 D'Arnond estimated some 2J or 30 shots were fired.
 He said the shooting occurred about 20 feet from the door or the secretary's office.
 Coroner Thomas E. Bird asked the Baton Rouge police depart ment for il full list of witnesses to the shooting and adjourned the in- quest.
 Only Few Present
 Only few persons, mostly newspaper men and jurors, were .il the small ante room of the under taking parlor where the inquest w 5 held,

 New York, Sept - U.P.) - Stocks overcame profit taking to. day and continued their rise into new high ground in active trading.
 There were several periods of decline and recovery until near the close when the main list lifted easily with special attention devoted to the automobile shares, which made new highs. Steel issues also bettered their previous 1895 tops. Dozens of issues from other sec tions joined the new-high list.
 Sales in the morning crossed the million share mark. But in the next two hours business was relatively light and it continued so into the last hour.
 Impetus for buying in the auto- mobile division was furnished by the bullish General Motors cor poration August sales report.
 Heavier automob obile business was seen ss a stimulus for the steel in- dustry which also was receiving larger orders from miscellaneous sources. U. s. Steel corporation's August shipments to be reported tomorrow at noon were expected to show a sharp rise over July.
 That helped U. s. Steel common to make a new high at 47 5-8 up 13-8. National, Bethlehem, Inland and Republic also made new highs in the steel division. McKeesport mi Plate jumped more than 3 points on few sales. American Rolling Mill firmed fractionally to a new top.
 Chrysler made new high at 70 IA up 3-8 and General Mo- tors at 46 up 7-8. Auburn reached 39 1-2 up 3-4 also new high.
 Other issues to make new hgihs for the year or longer during the course of the session included AL lied Chemical at TO up 6; Ameri- can Telephone IA IA up 1; Du PYont 124 IA up 3-4; Eastman Kodak 153 1-2 up l 1-2; General Electric 34 1-8 up IA and Vest inghouse Electric 75, Is up Is.
 Railroad shares were featured by New York Central which made a new 1895 high-at 26 3-8 up 3.4. Exceptions to the trend included Pullman which was forced down more than 2 points on what was reported to be short selling. owens Illinois Glass lost nearly 6 points. Silver issues were weak.
 Oils did little more than hold their own and some of the utili- ties were depressed slightly. In the latetr group, Detroit Edison
