The Southern Israelite • Page 29 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. CLARK HEATING COMPANY JOE W.

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. Perry-Mann Electrical Company DISTRIBUTORS OF ELECTRICAL SUPPLIES RADIOLAS COLUMBIA, S. C. W.
