Miami Beach Vignettes
We’re not sure if our peripatetic correspondent wrote the follow
ing to show how nimble and supple is his pen wit or to give a plug
to the hotel where he was staying. Anyway, we met this Indecision
(on our part) by red-penciling the name of Joe's bunk house (par
don us, of Joe’s air-conditioned hostelry). By the way, Joe got
back in Atlanta last weekend, else we know his report on the big
blow now irking the Florida coast would indeed be a readable
puff we mean treat—for our gentle readers—THE EDITOR.
BY JOSEPH A. LOEWINSOHN
A large ocean wave slapped me across my back the first day I went
swimming. I did not mind it. for it was .a friendly slap and at that in
stant the ocean and I had become real chums.
The place where we are staying Is a friendly hotel, completely air-
conditioned. a*id having the Atlantic Ocean for its back yard. (Some
are just naturally lucky!)
George Goldberg is the owner of
this half-million hostelry. He is a
dapper little fellow with a cute
wave in his graying hair. He is
shy in his ways and -the only
trouble with him is that all his
money is tied up in cash.
The moving spirit of our hotel
home, the major domo and its
genial host is Herbert Shore. He is
the manager and he is ably assist
ed by his attractive blonde wife,
Ruth, and Ida May Park, the
clever girl with smiling eyes, at
the switch board. •
Ruth Shore claims to be the
“cultured half of the family,” and
after knowing her even for a short
time, one may safely vouch for
the validity of her claim.
Herbert Shore is a gregarious
gentleman with a sense of humor
that clicks in a big way with the
guests. Although he is a native of
New York and has only been the
manager here for six years, he
possesses the kind of personality
that would make him feel at home
in any part of the world.
Incidentally, Herbert Shore was
offered a job in a local hospital
(putting wheels on miscarriages),
which he refused.
In the evening, after sundown
when it is surprisingly cool here,
people gather on the open veranda
In front of the Hotel and shmoose.
An overwhelming majority are
M. O. T. (Members of our Tribe)
and conversation runs the full
gamut from zero to zero. Here are
some samples of the overheard
snatches of small talk:
Games Held in Alliance
Softball League at Piedmont
The first night games of the
1949 Alliance Softball Season
were played at Piedmont Park
last Thursday, Aug. 18, to an over
flowing crowd of enthusiastic
spectators.
Faced with the prospect of be
ing eliminated from "B” league
play, a scrappy JAO team rallied
to score 6 runs in the second in
ning and went on to scalp 518 to
the tune of 15 to 2. Hugh Klotz
was bombarded for 15 base hits
by the JAO crew, three coming
off the bat of Alan Smith. Hugh
never did have his “stuff” and
his plight wasn't aided any by the
sloppy fielding of his team-mates.
In the meantime, Billy Frankel,
who pitched for JAO, managed to
survive a shaky first inning when
he walked across a run; but grew
stronger as play progressed and
allowed only 6 hits for the entire
game.
In the second game of the even
ing, 134 “B” team proved too
strong for JAC and won 14 to 7.
Bogart and Cavalier comprised the
winning battery for 134 while
Seholossman, Beerman, and Pias-
sick all twirled for the losers.
Randy Feinberg was the big gun
tor the losers, collecting three hits,
whereas all of the 134 boys and
a field day at the plate. As a re
sult of JAO’s win over 518, a two-
out-of-three play-off will begin
this week to determine the winner
of the Boys’ B League. The first
game will take place Sunday
morning, Aug. 28. at Piedmont
Park.
Playing during the extreme cold
wave which hit the Atlanta area
last weekend, a very important
game was also played Sunday
morning, Aug. 21, in the Girls’
League which decided the winner
of the second half. The combina
tion of an over-cast sky, an ex
tremely muddy field, and the un
usual cold air made it rather dif
ficult to play any outstanding
softball. However, the girls did
play and gave the spectators pres
ent an opportunity to observe a
very interesting game. TNL won
over DOZ 4 to 1, thereby requir
ing a play-off game next Sunday,
Aug. 28. Florence Cohen was too
difficult to hit and permitted only
a few runners to reach first base
throughout the five innings of
play. In addition to her fine pitch
ing, Florence aided her own cause
considerably by making some out
standing fielding plays. The entire
TNL team played air-tight ball
behind Florence and Pauline
Uregman contributed two impor
tant base hits. Phyllis Gershon
pitched good ball that would or
dinarily win most games, but not
this one, as Florence was simply
unbeatable. The final score was
4 to 1, favor TNL.
In the Men’s AA League, an ex
tremely exciting game was played
between Hillel and B’nai B’rith;
which saw Hillel jump out to a
7 to 1 lead in the first inning,
only to have B’nai B’rith battle
back and cause the game to go
into extra innings. In the top half
of the tenth inning, B’nai B’rith
scored one run and that seemed
to be the ball game. However,
Hillel put a man on base during
their half of the tenth and man
aged to move him around to third
base with only one out. At this
exciting moment, the batter, Don
Miller, made one pretense at
bunting, and then hit a long home
run to score two runs thereby
enabling Hillel to win 13 to 12.

“—’ever hear the new song on
the radio?”
“No, what Is It?”
“The one I liked is called
‘Who Hit Conrad Nagel In the
Head With a Bagel?’ ”
“Then there is one called
‘Mazoh Ball Concerto In G-Mi-
nor’ ”
“That's nothing! I listened to
the Boston Symphony orchestra
the other night and I certainly
enjoyed the second movement
by Ex-Lax.' ”
“By the way, j’ever hear
about Mr. Nafkowitz changing
his name?”
“Noo, tell me what did he
change it to?”
“It sounded so bad, so he
changed it to ‘Horowitz’.”
“When my sister, who was a
Wac in the last war, was stationed
in London, she went out with
another Wac one night after the
blackout. They were met by two
handsome English officers, one of
whom said to them: ‘I say, girls,
aren’t you out after hours?’ ‘No,’
said my sister, ‘we thought you
were after OURS . . . ’ ”
The sight of the ocean at night
is simply enhanting.
The warm, velvety night is fill
ed with u faint fragrance of the
hibiscus. The tropical moon
serenely floats over the vast ex
panse of the ocean and its, shim
mering reflection in the dark
waters creates a magic, romantic
touch.
