TO PLAY BALL
IN PALESTINE
Zionist Organization to Take
National Game Into
Holy Land.

Good old American baseball Is
about TO demand recognition as one
of the leading sports in Palestine.
Shortly play ball" will be heard
ringing out in the Holy City, and
doubtless the ranks OF the 'fsns"
will be augmented by thousands of
the Inhabitants as well as the Tom
mics who have been keeping the
Turks on the jump over in that sec
tion of the world.
This all comes about through a
request made TO Clark Grifhth's
Ball and Bat Fund and appropriate
ly enough Jews themselves are go
ing to boom the great American
pastime in Palestine.
The following letter from A. II.
Fromenson. of the Zionist organiza-
tions of America, brought an i'm
mediate reply from ''Griff" promis-
ing four complete baseball outfits
which were started in their way yes
terday.
Il believe you will be interested in
the fact that the Jewish Legion for
service in Palestine has organized
four baseball teams
o. The Jewish Legion for service
in Palestine is composed entirely
of volunteers who are either be-
low or above the draft age, or are
politically disqualified for enlist
ment in the American national army.
The legion will fight under British
colors.
Upon receiving 'Griffs" letter
pledging the baseball outfits, Fro
menson wrote another letter thank
ing him and suggesting how the
shipment to the Holy Land cold be
expedited. He closes by saying, Il
am extending to you in advance the
heartfelt thanks OF our fighting
boys to whom you are giving the
joy Of indulging in the great Ameri-
can pastime, which they in turn
will teach to the Palestinians. This
makes the fourteenth foreign coun-
try which the Old Fox has supplied
with athletic ware.
