JENNINGS
IS A GOOD
PICKER

UNITED Press stan Correspondent

NEW YORK. April 23.-If Hughie
Jennings ability TO size up a pitcher
was just as good as his ability to pick
men for other positions, he probably
would establish a Tiger monopoly on
American league pennants-
New York has three former Tigers
doing duty for its American league club.
Hughie High. Pipp and Bauman are for
mer members of the Detroit club, but
High and Bauman never had a real
chance to perform for Jennings. due
to the presence of Ty Cobb and a few
others like him. Bauman hasn't yet
been able to tie down a regular job in
New York.
Deal and Archer Of the Cubs are for
mer Tigers, but no one has yet been
able 10 figure Deal a star. Bill Louden
and Clarence Mitchell of the Reds once
drew Detroit pay-checks. And, if Jen-
nings had been able to see Mitchells
possibility as a pitcher he undoubtedly
still would be doing duty in the Mich
igan city.
Claude Williams is another example
of Jennings futile efforts to find pitch
ers. Williams would look mighty well
in Detroit uniform this year, follow

mer for the White Sox.
Bradley kocher of the Giants and De
Gamer of the Red Sox make up the

NEW YORK. April 23.When billiards.
and blustery weather began TO take
knots in eastern baseball this spring,
Charles II. Ebbets. Jr.. who helps run
things for the Brooklyn National
league club, expressed himself as favor
ing later openings for the major
leagues.
Every year or so there is some talk
of setting the dates back. but when a
good Spring comes along and shovels
in the dollars the talk usually is quickly
dropped. Spring in this section this
year. however, was so backward that

been getting wonderfully good baseball

Ebbets. and this is against unfavor

1t isn't hard for a fan to imagine
what would happen If Jennings was

that which graces the Red Sox or Yam

would have to be divided into two sec

Jennings has promised a reverse Eng

THE FEAST OF LIGHTS AND
THE CAPTURE OF
JERUSALEM.

This is certainly joyful Hanuc
cab for u.s. To those who believe
in signs and omens, the capture of
Jerusalem by the British during our
Hanuccah celebration, will appear
most significant Should it mark
the beginning of the realization of
Israel's hope of a restored Jewish
state in Palestine, the Feast of
Lights will be celebrated in all flu
ture time with even greater eclat
and rejoicing than it has been in
the past. For it will commemorate
two great reservations in our his
tory, even as the Ninth of Alb is
a reminder of the two distinctions
of Jerusalem.
But whatever the future may
bring, let this Hanuccah be real
season of joy for us. The Allies
have triumphed over Turks and
Huns in the same spot of the world
where the Maccabees triumphed
over Syrians and Greeks. 1t is the
continuation of humanity's struggle
for freedom and international justice
that began when the aged priest,
Mattathias, raised the standard of
revolt from the Kaiser of Syria,

ANTAGONISTS RUNNING
AMUCK.

It was to be foreseen that the dec
laration of the British government
in favor of the Zionist aspiration
and the victorious march of the
British through Palestine, which
brings the Zionist hope near reali-
cation, would make our friends, the
anti-Zionists, desperate. And des-
perate they are, and are running
amuck, and foaming at the mouth.
They are saying, or rather Shrek
ing, some terrible things. Not that
we have not heard those things be-
fore. But they are saying them
with wilder mien and more strident
voice. They are saying that Jew
ish state in Palestine is foredoomed
to failure. The Jews made fail
ure of government before. They
never knew how to govern them
selves.
True, the Jewish state was many
times overthrown in antiquity. But
so were other states, both in antiq-
uity and in modern times. Surely,
Rome knew the art of government
to perfection. Are we not always
told that she has taught the world
lessons in law and government? Yet

Rabbi M. Spitz, editor of the Jew
ish Voice, has recently rounded out
forty years of useful and faithful
service as the spiritual guide of his
congregation in St. Louis. Of Rabbi
Spitz it may be truly said in the
words of our old sages: "The wis
dom of the learned ripens with age"
He has been most devoted aborer
in the vineyard of the Lord With
eloquent tongue and virile pen he
has been brave protagonist of his
people and his faith against the enc
mics without and within our camp.
May his reward be renewed vigor
and continued service for many
more years to come!

KULTUR, ANCIENT AND
MODERN.

The Kaiser's dream has been and
is to force his "Kultur" down the
threats of all nations. That was
also the dream and ambition of
Antiochus Epiphanes. To him
Greek kultur was "uber allies" And,
while Greek kultur was not with
out certain charms, it was essen
tally a desire to lord it over hui
manity. 1t was a heritage from
Alexander of Macedon, who was
looking for worlds to conquer.
A small band of loyal Jews in
Jerusalem and it's environs refused
to accept this gift of Greek kultur.
Their own ways, their own life,
their own law suited them better.
They did not know much about kul-
tur, art, athletic sports, gladiatorlal
contests, circuses, theaters, gay ca
rousals in honor of the gods and
goddesses; but they knew great
deal about just and holy God, and
a law of justice and holiness. And
they were determined to fight for
their God and their law.
Nor is the modern world willing
to accept Prussian kultur. Its evil
dences in Belgium and France are
too frightful to contemplate. There
is a higher law than the law of the
kultur of military power and domin-
ion. 1t is the law of democracy, of
national freedom and international
justice.

Rome, too, was overthrown. Bel
gium is now suffering similar fate.
Yet who would taunt the Belgians
with being unfit for self-govern-
ment?
They are again saying that Jew
cannot be both an American and
Zionist, or an Englishman and a
Zionist. Poor fools! AS if by be-
ing a Zionist Jew must surrender
aught of his love and loyalty for
the country of which he is citizen.
AS if an American of Irish descent
and of the Catholic church need be
any less an American for wishing to
see free Irish nation in Ireland.
And the same is true of such Amer
lean citizens as are of Belgian, Ar
menian, Greek or Serbian descent,
and of various religious affiliations.
Our Christian fellow-citizens don't
seem to question our patriotism be-
cause of our Zionist interests. Presi-
dent Wilson has not the slightest
doubt about Justice Brandeis' de-
votion to the United States. Only
the minds of our anti-Zionist friends
are clouded and troubled by such
worries. But the anti-Zionists are
getting desperate. The Zionist
dream" is beginning to look too
much like a reality, and we expect
to hear some more shrieks from their
camp.

paid for the chautauqua this year
was 100000, and the receipts
