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. ... A poten-

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.
