NEW YORK, July 8. (UP)-Just
when it was feared this country was
running short of pompous athletic
officials. and our sports would have
to be conducted by sensible. sane
men, the executive committee of
the Professional Golfers associa-
ton stepped into the breach.
With all the resounding bad
judgment that has endeared athle-
tic officials to their keepers and
friends, six or more of the PGA.
committee Of II voted to bar Denny
Shute from the 22nd annual Pro-
fessiona1 Golfers association cham
picnship which starts tomorrow on
Long Islands Pomonok course.
Their reason for barring two
time winner of the title and a for
mer Bitish open champion, makes
just as much sense as the mem
bers do. 1t seems that the arch fiend
Shute failed to pay his annual dues
of SIS on the day stipulated IN the
P.G.A. rule book. The book Says
that annual dues must be In by
May goth of each year. Shute s
check was two days late. The P.GA.
secretary adjusted his glasses,
cleared his throat omino.lsly, pound :
ed his fist, and announced that
Shute was not a member in good
standing and would not be allowed
to play.
Some of the members objected
TO this flat statement and a vote
was ordered. A majority upheld
the secretary, there being enough
members made of the stuffy stuff
committees are made of.
From this point on (and all Of
this happened in May) things de.
veloped SO rapidly that today M
one is quite sure Of how matter

During the national open cham
pionship IN Philadelphia last month
Shute was told that if he Won Thu

crime of being two days late witt

wins the open he viii be allowed Il
play In the P.GA. Is just 1ik
telling a next door neighbor tina
If he becomes president he woul'
be welcome 10 come In and TAX
ipot luck some evening.
Anyway. Denny didn't win tn
open. The best he could do was tn
for it and lose in the play-off, s.
naturally he is just as horrid h
the PGA. as he ever was. Not

By GEORGE r. BUCKLIN

The best fish story OF the week,
If not of the entire season. was
brought back from Moreno Dam
this week by Slick Ackley OF the
El Centro police department. The
officer gives credit for the yarn to
Tim Temple, manager of Arden
Dairy Farms in Imperial Valley.
It seems that a successful angler
managed to land an oversize bass
at Morena and that the fish was OF
such unusual proportions in circum-
ference, that lady fisherwoman
who was present thought the catch
was full of fish eggs. She requested
that the eggs be given to her to
eat. as many people consider them
a great delicacy. The obliging an
eler forwith whipped out his knife
and opened his prize catch. 1mag-
Inc his surprise and that of the
lady, when the innards of the fish
revealed--not a cluster of eggs
but a rattlesnake which boasted
four rattlesl Informants did not
state whether the lady lost her
appetite for fish eggs.
Deep-sea fishing has improved
by leaps and bounds during the
past two weeks. according to re-
ports emmanating from the San
Diego embarcadero. The log of one
of the sports fishing boats, which
makes daily trips from the foot of
Broadway to the Mexican Coronado
islands, recorded a total catch of
386 yellowtail, 70 white sea bass
2 black sea bass and several blue
fin tuna. from June % to July 5,
inclusive. Fishermen on another
boat caught lob yellowtan and rs
bluefin on July 5th and 9Th. Big
barracuda and oversize bonito were
also landed in quantity during the
same intervals.
The largest black sea bass, more
commonly known as Jewish, scaled
102 pounds The jackpot white sea
bass weighed "a pounds. Yellowtail
have been averaging from ID to
20 pounds, although one 26-pounder
was caught Thursday morning.
Although waters adjacent to the
Mexican Coronados are proving to
be fishermen's bonanza, all OF
the good fishing is not confined to
that area The Point Iona kelp
beds produced 807 bass, 533 barra-
cuda, S white sea bass and yel-
lowtail for the week.
Surf and bay fishing continue to
be popular diversions, with excel
lent catches of croakers. founders,
halibut. bass, spotfins and corbina
rewarding anglers.
Lake Fishing
Apparently Lake Henshaw is the
best spot for lake fishing at the
present time. Bluegills, crappie and
bass are reported to be responding
to lures satisfactorily In that big
body of water. Fair catches of bass
have been rumored at some of the
other lakes in the San Diego noun
tains but the general result has
been discouraging during the week.
Hot weather has not proved a
serious obstacle to valley catfish
ermen. Imperial Dams popularity
remains untarnished, with good
strings being caught there and near
Laguna Dam, almost daily. No re-
ports are available concerning bass
fishing on the Colorado, since last
weeks exploit of group of local
sportsmen who caught several oi
the big mouths. between Imperial
and Laguna dams.

the Austro- Hungarian Empire be- fore the World War. It is consid- erable importance because 1t lies where Rumania, Russia, Poland and Czechoslovakia met before recent territorial changes.)
 In such contingency, Russia pre- sumably would be able to dominate the shrunken remnant of Rumania and would enjoy dominating influ- ence in enlarged Bulgaria, Turkey's next door neighbor.
 Might Take Islands
 There was speculation whether Russia might seek to induce Turkey to compensate herself by taking from Italy the Dodecansese Islands off Turkeys West coast. The gen. eral belief, however, was that Tur- key would seize these strategically important only if Italy entered the war on Germany's side. It is an in- teresting part of peculiar diplom- atic situation that the comment has been made that Turkey was not worrying as to its allies in war ex- cept that 1t wanted to make sure 1t was on the opposite side to Italy.
 The belief was growing here that Russia did not intend to embark on war against Britain and France but wanted to keep Turkey as well

JURY SELECTION
 IS BEGUN TODAY

Los Angeles, Oct. 5-(UP)-De Witt Clinton Cook, 20, farm boy, listened with bruush sullenness to- day while his attorneys tried to SC. lect a jury which might accept his plea that though he attacked seven young women he was not guilty of attacking an eighth.
 The eighth was Anya sosyeva, dancer and dramatic student, who was attacked on 8 college campus and was the only one who died of her injuries. The state seeks to hang Cook for her death.
 Two of his acknowledged victims were in court. They were Della Bo- gard, 1g, a film dancer, and Myrtle Wagner, 18, domestic, both of whom were clubbed with two-by- fours. Cook pleaded guilty yester- day to attacking them and five others, but when asked to plead to the charge that he murdered Miss Sosyeva-she was killed by blow from two-by-four from behind he pleaded not guilty.
 Miss Wagner spent months in . hospital and appeared pale and nervous.
 Cook had confessed having killed Miss Sosyeva and had re-enacted the crime for motion pictures. Prescott tor U. U. Blalock will try to screen this movie in the courtroom for the benefit of the jury. The trial began yesterday and a jury Is expected to be completed today.

Zukauskas to stop after the acci- dent occurred and that he re quested to be allowed to get out of the car immediately after the accident occurred.
 It is evident from the testimony that Zukauskas was intoxicated at the time of the accident SO that his senses were affected and that he realized clearly his condition, that he was aware of the danger to the boys walking along the roadway and failed to make any attempt to avoid hitting them, that he realized he had hit one of them, failed to stop but in- stead purposely turned off the di- rect route to the Chase Metal Works in order to avoid any chance of being apprehended, and that in his preliminary statements to the police officers Investigating and in his first statements made at the inquest, he made every at- tempt to evade responsibility for the accident and to deceive the Investigating officers so that they were obstructed in their duty of ascertaining the circumstances of the accident. His statement to Kasprzak that Kasprzak should not mention the accident to any, one, testified to by both zukaus- kas and Kasprzak, was in further ance of his plan to evade liability.
 The testimony of Louis Mucci jtbes exactly with that of ZuKaus- kas and MT. Kasprzak, and all the physical evidence including the marks found on Zukauskas' car agree exactly with the oral evil dence.
 The circumstances of this acci- dent are such that there is a strong temptation to denounce in the strongest terms the actions of the driver, Michael Zukauskas. The proved circumstances, how ever, are stronger than any such comment could be.
 The quick solution of what might have been a long drawn out and arduous search for hit- and-run driver is to a singular de- gree the result of the quick wit of Louis Mucci and the speed and capabality with which the Water. bury Police acted. Mucci noted In the brief moment allowed to him, the make, model and year of the car that had struck his friend, and the police within an hour thereafter, without the benefit of the registration number, were able to locate both the car and the driver.

HITLER OFF TO ACCEPT POLAND
Returning to Berlin TO- night - Addresses
 Reichstag Tomorrow
BY RICHARD c. HOTTELET United Press Stan COrrespOndentl

BY RICHARD Q. HOTIELET | United Press Stan Correspondent) Berlin, oct. 5--UP)-Adolf Hit Ter flew to Warsaw today to take over the Polish capital in the name of his Nazi Reich.
 He was expected back tonight to complete the draft of a speech he proposed to make at noon tomorrow before the Nazi Reichstag and In which it was expected he would de- liver peace Iltimatum" to Great Britain and France to stop the Eur opeaIl war.
 Travellers reported that long trains loaded with military road transports crowded railroads toward the western front, and said that tens of thousands of men were work ing on the west wall defenses op- posite France. Field Marshal Her. man Goering's air force was report ed to be tuning up, awaiting an or der, in event that-as was anticf- pated-the peace ultimatum" failed, to start a ruthless bombing cam- paign against the British war and merchant fleets and possible British dockyards, ports and industrial cit- ies.
 Hitler left for Warsaw at g .. m. 6 a. m. EST). It was reported that he had completed his speech after reading the speech of British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain in the House of Commons Tuesday, but that as usual he held it open for any last moment changes.
 Despite indications that Premier Benito .Mussolini did not want 10 get himself tangled in any peace feelers which he felt were sure to fail, Nazis insisted that if Britain and France did not accept Hitler's peace on my terms or else" pro- gram the Nazi government would consult Mussolini as well as Josef Stalin, Hitler's Communist partner.
 The Nazis continued to hint of common NaN- Communist action if the Allies proved stubborn" and rejected what they called the last concrete proposal to be made by Hitler tomorrow.
 That Hitler wanted peace-though on his own terms--there seemed no doubt. It was reported now that he was even willing to set up 8 little Polish state, rominally independent but actually Na1 protectorate.
 Hitler planned to review German troops in Warsaw this afternoon, marking the formal end of the Poe fish campaign.
 High army officers went to War. saw for the occasion.
 Soon after Hitler left to mark the end of the campaign" the German high command announced:
 "Mopping up action east of the vistula river began yesterday against isolated groups of Polish troops and continued today.

INJURED WORKER
 AWARDED $3,OOO
Insurance Company Pro. tested Payment of Com-
 pensatiOn For Disability

Compensation Commissioner James M. Lynch this morning awarded Patrick ONeill of 265 Beecher ave- nue practically $3,000 for injuries sustained when some foreign sub- stance got in his eye while in the em- ploy of the M. J. Daly Sons Inc.
 The case is e very unusual one and was hotly contested by the Travellers Insurance company, the insurer. It developed in the course of medical treatment that the sight Of the injured eye. which was con- sidered lost could be restored by the use of . special eye glass. But when this eye glass was used the sight of the other eye was rendered practi- cally useless.
 Commissioner Lynch in view of the circumstances made his award on the basis of the complete loss of the injured eye.
 The award calls for payments ef sie.5i for i56 weeks.
