the team losing drop out. This plan
did not meet with the approval OF
Roche for the reason that II was not
the wish Of his players and that Il
would not be fair to the teams with
which he had games scheduled Roche
then offered the plan of calling all the
players together and holding a vote on
a manager. Flanagan objected TO this
plan, because he stated Roche had
more than thirty men lined up TO a

that both step out in favor Of a non.

After that second inning the Hose

equally ratified by Ruth and the mob.
The latter almost broke up the game
toward the close as they gradually
swallowed up the outfielders. With po-
lice protection entirely inadequate it
looked as if Boston would be handed
a forfeited game, but some heroic
work on the part Of police and ath-
Ietes pushed the mob back.
The total number of spectators set
a record for Chicago, although the &C
tual count was not given out. The
largest crowd was at one of the city
series when over $4,000 paid. Yester-
day the fans started to besiege the
park at noon. Surface and elevated
cars from then on swelled the mob to
constantly larger proportions and at
$50 O'Clock it was worth ones life to
get through the crowd in front of the
main entrances.

The bleachers had long before that
been filed to overlooking and the fans
started to vault the fences. a thousand

standing room space in the stand was

crowd. and outside of encroaching on

the fracas, but they were caused more
by hilarity than roughness. The score

Morgenthau Here On Important
Mission.

1t was rumored last week in
Washington that Ambassador Nor
genthau, who arrived Tuesday in
New York, is entrusted by the Turk
ish Government with an important
mission, which has direct bearing
upon the Jews. 1t is said that Tur-
key is willing to conclude separate
peace with the Allies and that it is
ready to make considerable conces-
sions to the Jews in Palestine. Mr..
Morgenthau, who represented the
interests of the Allied Powers in
Constantinople since Turkey enter
ed the war and whose activities have
elected such high praise in the Eng
fish Parliament, is regarded as the
most suitable person to undertake
this work.

there was one small corner in which
the political and social life of the
Jews in the time of Ben Adret was
as yet free from that CALLING and
humiliating oppression that was now
beginning to make itself felt in all
other parts, namely the Kingdom Of
Portugal. In Portugal the Jews
were still exempt from wearing the
distinctive badge and from paying
tithes to the church. Many dis
tinguished Jews were filling import
ant positions of state.
King Diniz (1279-1325) had
Jewish minister of finance, Judah,
who was at the same time chief rab
bi of Portugal, and was possessed
of great wealth. His son, Gedaliah,
was his successor in both offices.
AS result of their influence with
the king the Jews position was
more favorable than ever. That
aroused the ire of the clergy, who
complained to Rome of the Kings
conduct toward the Jews and his
comforting special favors upon them.
"The Jews are becoming proud and
conceited,' read their complaint,
'they adorn their horses with tas-
sells and indulge in luxury that has
an injurious effect on the inhabitants
Of the country"
While the King was thus COM
PEELED by the ecclesiastical author
tiles to introduce into the legal code
of the land the canonical DEGREES
against the Jews, he made no effort
to have them enforced. 1t was only
under the reign of his successor,
Alfonso w (1325-1357) who was
himself unfavorably disposed to the
Jews that the evil instigations of
the clergy began to produce bane-
full results, and the fate of the Jews
of Portugal was not much different
from that of their brethren in CASTLE
and Aragon.

but also on account of his ever-ready
aggressive activity on behalf of
Jews and Judaism. The time had
come when the occasions for such
championship of the cause of his
brethren were multiplying. David
Maimuni, grandson of Maimonides,
and Nagid of the Jewish community
of Egypt, was then in sore straits
in consequence of calumnlous
charges brought against him before
the ruling powers of his country.
A large sum of money was necessary
to enable David to extricate himself
from his dangerous position. Ben
Adret was appealed to, and with
his characteristic energy he set about
collecting the necessary funds from
the different Spanish congregations.
A Dominican Monk, Raymond
Martin, disciple of Raymond de
Penyaforte, and inspired with his
Masters bigoted zeal, wrote two
books full of venomous libels against
the Jews, with the object of convinc-
ing the stubborn unbelievers of the
error of their ways. Their titles
are sufficient indications of their
character and contents. One bears
the significant title of ''Brid1e for
the Jews,' and the other, dagger
of Faith" Martin possessed con-
siderable knowledge of Hebrew, and
he used it with pernicious effect in
his attacks on the Jews and their
heresies. Ben Adret wrote vigor-
Gus REPUTATION Of Martins SANDER
Gus and malicious charges, using at
the same time calm and dignihed
tone that contrasts we'll with the
monks diatribes. He also entered
the lists against Muhammedan
writer who had attacked all revealed
religions, although he was not as
happy and successful in this contest
as in the one against Martin.
Ben Adret was a determined OPP
ponent of the rationalistic sceptic-
ism that was then gaining ground in
some Jewish communities of France.
as we'll as of the Kabbalistic ex-
travagances and impostures prac-
ticed by some of the mystics of
Spain. In all matters he pursued a
conservative middle course, faithful
to Tsrael's traditions. Among his
disciples were some of the greatest
rabbinic authorities of the following
generation.

the Jews of the Iberian peninsula,
when the Kabbala was leading SO
many minds astray, it could hardly
be expected that the Hebrew muse
would find congenial field for her
productivity. Indeed, there was lit
tie of true poetic creation. Only
two names are worthy of mention
in connection with the literary eff
forts and achievement of that time.
Judah Alcharise, loyal disciple Of
Maimonides, and translator into He
brew of his "Guide," wrote sa-
tirical romance called "Tachkemoni,"
in the style and form of many sim
liar Arabic productions, in which a
fictitious character is introduced
who relates his adventures and OBJ
servations with many clever sallies
of wit and in characteristic form
of rhymed prose. Joseph Sahara, a
physician at Barcelona, wrote
similar work called "Shashuim,"
Delights.
But while poetic literature was at
a low ebb, the study of the Talmud
was still cultivated with undated
vigor and energy. Nachmanides had
raised many disciples, the most dis
tinguished of whom was Solomon
Ben Adret, known as "Rashba," of
Barcelona, 1245-1310. Ben Adret
was man of noble character and
lofty mind. His profound and COM
prehensive knowledge of the Tai
mud and all it's commentaries and
CLOSES was phenomenal even for
that age. Contrary to the method
that was gradually gaining vogue of
making the study of the Talmud an
exhibition of dialectic skill and hair
splitting casuistry, his mind was fol-
lowing straight and logical lines in
all his intellectual labors. While he
was not hostile to philosophy, he
had yet profound reverence for
the Kabbala, following the example
of his master, Nachmanides but he
wished TO see it treated as esoteric
knowledge His whole mind, how
ever, was absorbed in the Talmud.
During the forty years of his active
life he was considered the greatest
authority not only by his co-re1igion-
lists in Spain, but by those of many
communities in other parts of
Europe, in Asia and Africa.
This distinguished position he oc-
cupied not alone as result OF his
