H \K0 4H WINS FIRST ROUND IN
SOCCER TILT
The Hakoah Soccer Team of New
York City better known as the “All
Stars” won the first round of the
three game final for the National
Challenge Cup when the Jewish team
defeated Madison Kennel, at St. Louis
last week 2-0. This Kennel team was
the winner in the western division of
U. S. F. A. It has no connection with
any particular breed of dogs.
Eighteen thousand people passed
through the turnstiles that led into
Sportsman Park to view the fray and
from all reports it was well worth
the effort. A goodly gate for a soc-
c-r game, incidentally. Wortmann
and Eisenhoffer scored the goals for
our boys while Fisher was the all
around star, stopping the St. Louis
team from making their efforts count
in the scoring.

SPORT NOTES
By GEORGE JOEL
The next game will take place in
New York City and if Hakoah wins
its all over. I think that the game
should draw 25,000 that is if the pub
licity is any good. Hakoah has suf
fered financially through inadequate
publicity. Here was a team with color,
a religious tinge and a mighty fine
team yet they got comparatively little
attention. Hakoah might well take
as an example any number of Jewish
organizations that grab all kinds of
space.
A sidelight of Hakoah’s rise to pow
er is evident in an examination of the
team’s record since the cup competi
tion began. Playing its first season
Hakoah won the Eastern League
championship. Five teams were de
feated a total of nineteen goals scored
and only three points scored by op
ponents. The star of the season was
Wortmann who was a big factor in
winning the national title last year
for the New York Nationals.
AGAR AND THE U. S. F. A.
Nathan Agar was the storm center
of the fight between the United States
Football Association and the Ameri
can Soccer League. It was his refusal
to allow some of his players to take
part in the cup competition that pre
cipitated the battle that tore the pro
fessional soccer organizations asund
er. When the Jewish boys left his
team to join Hakoah he threatened
and finally did start court action. The
United States Football Association
which was backing the players showed
its displeasure. Almost a year has
passed since the fight started and
overtures of peace are being made
but negotiations have hit a snag. Ac
cording to William Cunningham, presi
dent of the American Soccer League,
who sent a statement to the press,
the U. S. F. A. are willing to let by
gones be bygones and impose only one
condition. It is to bar Agar from
professional soccer for life, and take
his Brooklyn franchise and players
away from him. Of course Agar does
not subscribe to such sentiments and
he is going to fight to the bitter end.
In the Cunningham statement it is
intimated that because Agar is a Jew
the U. S. F. A. is acting so drastically.
I for one, wonder? If a man hits you
in the nose and you have a chance
to get even with him I don’t think
his religious affiliations will enter
very largely in your method of repri
sal.
MACCABEE SOCCER TEAM
ALSO WINS
Hakoah are not the only Jewish
soccer champions. The Maccabee Jew
ish Sport Club of Tel Aviv, Palestine
are also among the victors. This
Jewish team which made a tour of
the United States two years ago, the
first Palestine team ever to play in
America was awarded the Palestine
Sport Cup for general excellence in
athletics and particularly in soccer.
GOLDMAN TO GO TO MINORS
Jonah Goldman, who is in training
with the Cleveland American League
baseball team will not be seen in the
big circuit this season. The Jewish
shortstop is still a trifle shy of being
big league calibre. He has been sent
to Jersey City in the International
League for another year of seasoning.
A few more seasonings and Jonah will
be too hot for use.
AGAIN THE IRENE KAUFMANN
BOYS WIN
Evidently the hoys of the Irene
Kaufmann Settlement House of Pitts
burg do not confine their activities
to the basketball court. The very
latest announcement issuing from the
Inner Sanctuary of I. K. S. H. brings
the news that the boys have won the
settlement house track championship
of Pittsburg. More than three hun
dred young men participated and the
team representing good old I. K. S. H.
finished first and foremost in the team
scoring. The account says that our
favorite settlement house team ran
away with the meet scoring 194 points
—second place team scored a measly
19.
Sammy Behr of Wisconsin Univer
sity won the shot put in a recent tracli
and field meet held in Texas. He’s
just about cleaning up in the west.
Sammy graduates this June.
FROM THE COLLEGES
Allie Wolffe twice winner of the
160 pound intercollegiate boxing title
is not going to follow pugalism as a
profession after he bids his alma
mater farewell. He is going to try
to become a professional baseball
player. Allie has played three years
on the Penn State team. He is a
third baseman.
Raymond Stone who played number
one on the Sunrise Tennis Team last
year, that unique all Jewish team,
has made the Columbia University
varsity team. Tex has beaten all the
candidates including the captain.
Benjamin Lipetz of Lafayette, foot
ball, basketball and baseball star, is
giving his talents to the baseball
squad this spring.
Walter Winnick, football star of
Syracuse University is finishing his
athletic career at Syracuse by again
playing third base for the Orange
nine. .
Eddie Wineapple, the Jewish travel
ler, now at Providence College will
again be the main stay of the pitch
ing staff at that institution. Eddie
turned in a no-run, no-hit performance
last spring and expects to repeat.
