SPEED BOAT CAPABLE
 OF 80 MILES AN HOUR
 CAN CAPTURE TROPHY

Detroit January GA speed boat capable of so miles an hour will be re- quired to successfully defend the Harmsworth trophy, according to Gar Wood, who captured the international trophy from its British holders off the Isle of Wight last summer.
 Wood, who holds most of the worlds speed boat records, indicated that he did not believe a challenge would be forthcoming for the Harmsworth trophy in 1921. European power boat men realize, he said, that they must build craft capable of close to 80 miles an hour to compete with hydroplanes of the type of Miss America. He pointed out that Miss America's fastest lap in the recent Gold Cup races here was 71.5 miles an hour
 This won't do in the next race for the Harmsworth trophy. however" he said, and added. "We will be right there with that 0-mile-an-hour boat when the challenge for the interna- tional trophy comes"
 Wood said prospects were bright for a Harmsworth race in 1922 that would shatter all records for speed

~a. GIL MEYERS MAY LEAVE BASEBALL

Baseball stands to lose one or its most promising young catchers # Gil Meyers who made wonderful record in Southern league baseball last season and who is now coaching athletics at Central High school of this city. lives up to the reports that are being cir culated about him to the effect that he intends leaving baseball entirely.
 While not exactly saving that he in tends to give up professional baseoali' Meyers admits that he is seriously thinking of accepting certain business offers that would prove of much ad- vantage to him, far more, 1t is said, than any baseball contract that Meyers could sign.
 Gil Meyers is we'll fixed at Central ing the manual training classes. Mey- CTS is head coach of all athletics par ticipated in by Central, namely, foot ball. basketball and baseball.
 Meyers has played three of the above named athletics and is in position to hapdle any coaching job given him in lam-up fashion His football team of the past season was one of the strongest contenders for the state title. winning every game except two, which resulted in tie decisions. Meyers is nara al WOTh oU HIS DdshetDdll lSdhi now and he states that his prospects are fairly bright for a successful sea son. What his team will do in base ball is matter that the future alone can tell.
 Coach Meyers says that the oppor tunities for him outside baseball are far brighter than those on the inside and that he is .yravely considering giv- ing up professional baseball entirely, without playing even the 1921 season.
 Meyers won't say definitely that he's going to quit baseball, but the writer has it straight from various sources that that will most likely be his line of action. A wonderful career seems in prospect for the young athletic coach. although it may be that later on the lure of the diamond may overcome Gil as it has done countless others be- fore him.

GIL MEYERS MAY QUIT
 PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL

Reports have it that Gil Meyers may quit professional baseball. which would mean that baseball would be the loser of the services of a. most pronlis ing young catcher. but that amateur athletics would gain the services of one skilled in all forms of athletics.
 Meyers is now athletic coach at Gen. tral High and is doing well in that { line of work. He shows promise of developing into a high-class college coach and should eventually. if he leaves baseball. be sought by some of the south's best biggest colleges.
 Meyers made a splendid showing in the Southern league last season, finish ing the season with a batting average of about .275, which makes him the second highest hitting catcher in the league. He had few homers and bunch of triples and doubles to his credit.

The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1921-01-28

when I read that in the German news
paper in question, it seemed to me
rather a fantastic proposal. The
Jews bad surely mapped out a big
program for themselves, since they
amounted to something less than one
per cent Of the population of the
world, and in view of the condition
that knew great many of the Jews
to be living in, it seemed to me that
their chances of accomplishing that
program were infnitesimally small.
At any rate I was not very greatly
alarmed for the safety of myself or
my family and it did not seem to be
necessary to arm myself in defence
against the Jews living in my vicin-
ity. Then years passed by and I
heard no more of the conspiracy ex-
cept that in the interim I picked
up little book published in Paris in
1895, which shall speak about pres
emily.

The Young Peoples Forum cele-
brated Hamisho Ossor B'Shvat by
entertaining large audience with an
elaborate program at the Adath
Yeshurun Synagogue Sunday eve
ming. The following program was
rendered.: An Address of Welcome
by Mr.. S. Louis Shore, president;
Piano Duet by Lena Sachs and Ger
trude Silver; Address on "What is
Hamisho Ossor B'Shvat" by Rabbi
Matt; Vocal Solos by Miss Lillian
Litman of st. Paul, accompanied by
Miss Elizabeth Synikin; Trio for
cello, violin and piano, played by
Abner Rakov, violinist, Abe Rakov,
cellist, and Rose Berman, pianiste;
reading from Pinsker by Mrs. Bella
Black; Violin selections by Mrs.
Marion Baernstein, accompanied by
Miss Esther Woolpy. The musical
numbers were of unusual merit and
were received with much enthusiasm
and applause. The reading by Mrs.
Bella Black from Pinsker concerned
a group of Jewish refugees huddled
in cellar for protection in the East
ern War Zone. It was delivered by
Mrs. Black in most impressive
style and touched the heartstrings of
all present.
The entertainment was followed
by dancing in the vestry rooms of
the synagogue. Refreshments of
dates and st. Johns Bread, typical
Palestinian fruits, were served dur
ing the dancing. The chairman of
the refreshment committee reported
that she had great difficulty in sacur
ing st. Johns Bread, for her grocer
had informed her that although he
had made diligent inquiry among all
the bakers in the Twin Cities no
such brand of bread was obtainable.

would appeal to me as humanitarian
service perhaps); I am here to ad-
dress myself against it because
know, as surely as I know anything
at all, that anti-Semitism means (if
it succeeds, as please God it shall
not succeed) the death of the Amer
lean ideal, the destruction of all that
Washington and Lincoln and Roose-
welt and Wilson represent. Anti-Sem-
itism is more dangerous to Christian
civilization than it is dangerous to
the Jew as Jew. The Jew has mani
Tested his capacity to live through
all the persecution that ignorance
and brutality can devise, but Chris
tian civilization cannot live, cannot
grow, if anti-Semitism is to prevail.
And my special and particular COM
plant against the sort of thing that
is fostered by the dearborn indie
pendent, ignorantly echoing the
Morning Post" Of London, which in
turn ignorantly echoes the outcries
made by the Black Hundreds in the
regime of Gar Nicholas II, is that
it is subversive of every American
tradition, every distinctly American
institution and ideal. Nowhere in the
history of the world have you found
anti-Semitism as an active force I'M
less it was closely intertwined and
associated with every brutalized,
every corrupt, every dishonest and
every reactionary force in that ma
ton. don't care where you turn. If
you turn to Russia under the Roman
offs, that statement is true; if you
turn to Roumania, that statement is
true; if you turn to modern France,
that statement is true; if you turn
to Germany under the Hohenzollerns,
that statement is true. Anti-Semitism
everywhere, without respect to time
or place, wherever it has manifested
itself, has gone hand in hand with
every. dishonest, every corrupt and
brutal and reactionary force in the
nation. And whatever organized anti
Semitism we have in this nation to-
day is true to type; it is in it's turn
linked, as it needs must be linked
with every indecent, repulsive, ugly,
brutal, un-Christian and un-American
force that you can find anywhere in
this nation.
Let us look at this present agita-
ton not so much from the point of
view of the Jew-which indeed as
Gentle and Christian I could not rep
resent if I tried-but from the point
Of view of the civilization of America
and of decency in general Sometime
in the year 1907 I noted in one of the
German newspapers some reference
10 charge made in some Russian
book that the Jews Of the world were
n some kind of a conspiracy against
al non-Jewish governments and to
oring about a World Government by
Jews as Jews. Well, I confess that
