[ The Kenneth Wasser, Ed Krick
and Rube Cohen threesome made
the rounds after work last Thurs
day and wound up after dusk with
that tired-golfers’ feeling.
Which reminds me. Louis
Schwartzman, who mentors the
activities of the Atlanta Bureau of
I Jewish Education, is inclined on
the side of sports himself. His forte
is tennis. (Editor Rosenberg says
Lou’s a determined hiker, too.)
I But so far he hasn't located a
I buddy in the fair-to-middling class

The softball team representing
Atlanta Post No. 112 Jewish War
Veterans last Sunday defeated
Federal Penitentiary in both ends
of a double header by the score of
6-0 and 11-2. The games were
played on the Pen diaomnd.
The 6-0 shutout in the opening
game marked the first time since
the season of 1944 that the Feds
had b'een blanked.
Alfred Benman pitched the first
game and gave up only two singles
in the seven inning tilt. Never did
a Fed get past second base and
there wasn’t even a hint of a score
threat. Berman struck out seven
men and forced the remainder *o
ground out or pop up harmlessly.
In the top opening frame the
war vets loaded the bases with
three consecutive singles. Julie
Silverman then delivered a
scorching double to left-center
field which cleared the bases and
netted three runs.
Katty Katz pitched the second
game and could have added a !
second shut-out had he not eased j
up and toyed with the Feds in the i
late innings. It was only then that
a Fed landed a long solid blow
which accounted for their two
runs.
The war veterans, composed of
Joe Gerson, Joe Gelier, AI Ber
man, Bob Ney, Leonard Seligman,
Hank Levinson, Bob Homick,
Julie Silverman, Preston Selig
man, Kitty Katz, Vic Leaf, Hy
Verner, Stanley Silverman, Red
Caplan, Alvin Halpern, and Max
Alterman, make up one of the
strongest independent aggregations
in this section.
The challenge is out to take on
all comers. Teams interested in
meeting the war vets should con

The JWVets were participating,
marching en masse in the division
to which they were assigned. The
Post’s American Flag was massed
at the head of the parade with the
banners of other units. The Jewish
veterans’ own standard was in
front of them. At first there was
not a breeze stirring and the JWV
flag hung limply about the pole.
Then as the group rounded a cor
ner and started into the public
square, a special wind suddenly
arose, dove towards the furled
folds and spread it trailing four
square as though held rigid on an
outstretched frame.
At that prrrise moment, the
Salvation Army band burst into
action. The tune: “Ownward.
Christian Soldiers."
Rabbi Hyman Friedman Tues
day was nursing an aching back
and overdone skin. Which attested
to the success of the picnic held
the day before at the Progressive
Club for children of the Shearilh
Israel Religious Schools and Rabbi
Joseph Cohen’s Or VeShalem
Religious Schools. The back re
sulted from his desire to see that
all the athletic events came off
with dispatch.
Incidentally, Rabbi Friedman
reported that enrollment in the
two schools literally doubled at
one point during the picnic. That
was the time when free popsickles
w'ere distributed. Although only
about 150 kids from the two con
gregations had come out on the
picnic, almost twice that number
rallied from private parties, etc.,
and crashed the line for the free
refreshments. Though neither of
the rabbis had never seen the new
self-professed members of their
schools before, they passed out the
popsickles without a grumble.
After all. the sun was plenty hot
last Monday and an ice is a pleas
ure for any thirsty throat.
Boxing, Body Show at Alliance
Fine Exhibition of Athletics
from the crowd.
The results of the bouts were as
follows:
1. Applejack Pruitt defeated
Henry Pierce.
2. Sugarboy Pruitt defeated
Wm. Simonds.
3. C. Carakous and Ted Morgan
fought to a draw.
4. Asher Benator versus Nat
Goldwasser—exhibition.
5. Merell Askew and Richard
Morgan—draw.
6. Joe Young and Hirshel Burk-
halter—draw.
Mr. Morgan of the Boy’s Club
did a fine job of refereeing. Dr.
Lou Silver was very helpful and
took a series of photos. Thanks
are also due Nat Klausman, Jean
Asher and of course Richard
Hilley who added greatly to suc
cess of the occasion.
the spectators to observe some of
the smaller swingers and the lads
really showed considerable talent
for their age. After the third bout,
Karo Whitfield gave an explana
tion as to what his men were going
to do. While he explained the ex
ercise, Harry Smith and Harry
Johnson, two of the country’s out
standing body builders, did the
demonstrating. It has been a long
time since two finer physiques
have been seen at the Alliance.
Following the body building
demonstration, the main boxing
bouts were staged. Asher Benator
and Nat Goldwasser engaged in a
very neat two-round exhibition
bout and showed considerable
knowledge of boxing skill. Merell
Askew did a wonderful job as a
replacement and fought Richard
Morgan to draw. However, the last
bout of the evening, which practi
cally tore the roof off the Alliance, j
was the most thrilling. This con
test matched Joe Young against
Hirshel Burkhalter; with both
boys putting on a terrific bout.
Once again, the scoring was so
close that no decision but a draw
could have been called, and this
was met with a roar of approval
