The Southern Israfxtttc Page 33 SPORT NOTES By GEORGE JOEL JONAH GOLDMAN RELEASED BY THE INDIANS To the uninitiated the above head line might convey the idea that a Jonah Goldman in some way got in with savages and they finding out he was a Jew let him go! Such is not the case. This is a sport column and written very often in the vernacular. What 1 meant to tell my fond and loyal readers was that Jonah Gold man, the Jewish baseball player who received a two year tryout with the Cleveland Baseball Club of the Ameri can League has been released by that baseball team and will do his short stopping for the Albany Club of the Eastern League this coming season. 1 have been writing about Jonah ever since he played football for Syra cuse University and I was quick to hail his entrance into the big leagues hut it seems that the managers do not think that Jonah has the stuff and he has been released, as I said before, to this very minor league club. An other reason for Jonah’s exit was the fact that he was prone to take on weight. Baseball managers do not like the type of player who puts on the beef easily. It detracts from their ef fectiveness on the ball field. I’ve heard of this weight business in'prize fight- mg but it’s the first time I’ve ever known it to affect a ball player. Evi dently nobody does love a fat man! BASEBALL IN THE COLLEGES A letter from David C. Kurlantzick, bsq. of Paterson, N. J. asks me why I have failed to mention the exploits t Tubby Hayman of Syracuse Uni versity. “Tubby” according to my in formant is one of the finest baseball players in the college. He plays second base. Mr. Kurlantzick also states that lubby is next year’s basketball cap- '■ain and has a large following in Passaic County. . . . I>ast week when I said that Walter W inick also of Syracuse would play ’bird base for his alma mater I was talking through my hat. Walter could •f he wished play third base because be is a swell ball player but Walter > studying law and will not neglect bis studies for the diamond. Now that think of it I’m sure he did the same bing last year. ... At Alabama, Sing- ' un uko played football with some success last fall, is pitching for the >aseball team. He recently shut out -''Uisiana 1-0 in a ten inning battle. v only way he could win was to oiake his own run which he did with a two bagger and an error. . . . Bob ^plan is captain of the University of ka K° baseball team. ...

SPUrt Maxie must get his JACKIE FIELD GETS MORE j RECOGNITION IweltPraf •*ii e ^ S * one °* tke greatest I ^ eights ever developed on the Pacific Coast, and it’s the Associated Press that says it, strengthened his claim to the welterweight title when the California Boxing Commission rec ognized the Jewish boy as the cham pion. He has now been officially named champion in twenty-eight states. This is a democracy, so it is rumored about, and the majority is supposed to have the final say, taking that constitution al truism as a basis Jackie is “champ.” After the C. B. C. put the seal on Jackie, Dundee who is also the cham pion, was challenged and $40,000 was posted as a guarantee if Dundee will step into the same ring with Jackie. By the way, Mushy Callahan, another one of our boys, rates in this welter weight division. Izzy Cohen, an athlete, athleting un der the colors of New York Univer sity, has entered the professional fight business. He is a heavyweight and al though he has yet to make his profes sional debut has been under the con stant coaching of Battling Levinsky for the past year. Izzy has an ambi tion. It is to be the heavyweight champion of the world. Other Jewish boys have had the same urge and I hope Izzy will be more successful than they were. . . . Ted Sandwina one of our Jewish heavyweights is on the high seas sailing toward America where he will pursue his profession of pugilism. Ted piled up an impressive record of knockouts in London but then suffered two setbacks at the hands of English fighters. After all Ted is a younster and has ten years of fighting ahead of him. He is an other victim of managerial misman agement. Ted was brought along too quickly. VIENNA HAKOAHS PROTEST The Hakoah Sports Club of Vienna in a dispatch contained in the Jewish Daily Bulletin protests vehemently against the use of its name by the All Star Hakoah soccer team, the club that won the championship of the United States Soccer Association. The rub and kick comes in because the American Hakoah is a profession al team while the boys in Vienna are simon pure amateurs. Steps are be ing taken to prevent the use of the name and it’s my guess that the steps are wasted ones. One can’t blame the Vienna organization for being peeved. The America first take all the best players, play under the ballyhoo cre ated by the Jewish team and then come along and collect the money! JEWISH GIRL WINS FENCING CHAMPIONSHIP Another report from the same J. D. B. contains the interesting news that Miss Helena Mayer of Berlin won the European Women’s Fencing Championship recently held at Na ples. Miss Mayer represented Ger many and it was the first time since the war that Germany won the title. Good news for the anti-Semites in the Fatherland. I almost forgot to tell you that Brown is captain of the North Caro lina University boxing team and that Mort Shapiro at the same school is the star of the tennis team while Barkus is a member of the wrestling team. Which is not bad at all for the Jewish boys at N. C. U. —Copyrighted 1929 by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, Inc. Books, Stationery and Engraving Kodaks and Films MURPHY STATIONERY CO.
