PLAYED
IN WALLOW OF MUD

South Side Snappers and Park A.

ball championship on Saturday with
the boys from over Third street
bridge the victors, 1870. The game
was scheduled to be played at Sec
ond and DUPONT streets but due to
the condition Of the field the con-
test was transferred to Baynard
Field, at Eighteenth and Van Buren,
streets. These grounds were not in
much better shape but the opposing
elevens decided to go.through with
the tussle.
The game was played in a sea OF
mud and both teams had to resort
entirely to straight football The
Snappers were on top at all times
outclassing the Park boys. II could
be seen that the Bridgers are masters
Of their class in this city. Park
could not penetrate the Snappers'
line and did not gain a fiyst down un-
til the fourth quarter.
The Little Brooklynites scored
early. Park winning the toss elected
to receive and was held for downs.
Gaining possession of the ball the
Snappers started a parade which
ended in their first touchdown. The
other six pointer was added later
but despite the fact that this was
all the counted, with extra point for
a goal from touchdown, the Snap
pers were never in danger.
Doherty and Desmond were the
only ones to show strength for the
Parkers. Smith and Giles were the
ground gamers for the Snappers

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD
Impressions of a Newcomer
BY RABBI A. M. HELLER.

Of habit, to the dietary laws and 9TH
err important observances or unin-
portant details, but the sanctity and
purity Of home-life is becoming a
matter of the dead past. The teach
ings of the Synagogue are to very
great extent divorced from home life.
One plague in particular which helps
to destroy the sanctity Of the home
and from which our ancestors suffer-
ed little or none is predominating in
most Jewish homes, and I dare say
without fear of contradiction that
Minneapolis Jewish Life suffers be-
cause of it to a great extent. Kings
have been dethroned and queens have
lost their social prestige, but in most
Jewish homes in this very city, to our

regret and shame, be it said, they
occupy the most prominent positions
even in the best of family circles. The
little sons and daughters are taught
to pay respect and homage to the in
significant Jacks. From the very
childhood they begin to learn the
"bible" of their parents with a zeal
and fervor surprising even that of
the Yeshiva- Bachur. This curse of
which we find no mention in the Torah
is so prevalent in this city that the
inattendance at the Friday night serv-
ices and the lack Of interest in behalf
of many Jewish activities can be
ascribed to it.
Knowing that such state of affairs
actually exists, let us not be like
ostriches burying their heads in sand
and say there is no danger when our
very existence is threatened. The
evils of home-life are fragrant enough
for correction, but how can the stu
alton be remedied? Certainly not by
magic nor by good wish, but through
the cooperation and concerted action
on the part Of all elements Of Jewry.
Our communal life must be so organ
lied that the individual family will
feel it's influence.
To achieve this, almost all will
agree that Jewish education ought to
play an important role. We, the peo-
pie of the Book, always felt that ignor-
ance was the mother Of all evil. Jew
ish education was the palladium of
Judaism in all ages, and countries.
In this city many pride themselves
on the achievements of the Talmud
Torah, which, by the way meets my
hearty concurrence, but this fact mini
mics in no way the big problem of
informing the greatest number Of our
youth with the knowledge Of our past
and aspirations Of our future. The
education of the few hundred must
become Intellectual when the greatest
number do not receive any Jewish
training at all. Out Of three thousand
Jewish Children of public school age
no more than five hundred receive
some adequate Hebrew instruction,

INCE coming to this city I have
endeavored to become familiar
with Mippoopo1ic 1;fo ~ ,.ox,r.1

with Minneapolis life in general
and its Jewish life in particular. I
nave studied as closely as opportun-
lty permitted and now that I have
been asked by the American Jewish
World to express my opinion on Jew
lsh Life in this city I will summon
courage. to say what to my mind
seems right, whether pleasant or 9TH
erwlse to those who will take the
trouble of reading this article.
The most formidable Jewish prob
lem, self perpetuation, in this COM
munity is not essentially different
from that of most American cities.
The best minds of American Israel
are still laboring under great appre-
henslon in finding proper solution
to this, our most painful, problem.
Upon one thing, however, most stu
dents of Jewish life agree, and that
is that both proper home and insti-
tutlonal life are essential for making
safe the existence of the remnant Of
israel. Therefore, in dealing with
this question it would be advanta-
geous to take up the problem as a
whole, modifying it to meet local con-
ditions.
The Talnud says that Gods pres
ence dwells in pure and loving home.
During all ages the home was the
place where the Jew was at his best.
In the place of business the Jew was
perhaps sometimes hard and igno-
BILE. The unmerciful dealings, which
he SO often received from his neigh
bors caused him to be on the defen-
sive; PROSTATE himself before his op-
pressors; kiss the very rod with which
he had been beaten; and f1atter his
enemies that he was no longer him
self. In the outside world he helped
his judges to misunderstood him, but
at his home he was himself. If Juda-
ism had any virtue at all it was dis
played at home.
The simplicity and purity of home
life was reflected also in the institu-
lions of the Jewish Community. The
synagogue was not only for worship,
joy as in sorrow. The Jew turned
to the Synagogue for all communal
affairs, and the problems of educa-
ton, charity and social life found a
proper sphere for their respective So
lutions.
Between the home life and that of
Vic OyHdSOSue CIeIo Was no COnCrd-
diction. The religious center was the
place for the Jew to be inspired by
the word of God, and the home was
the place where the Jewish teachings
of the Synagogue were expressed in
actual living.
But the Jewish life then was al
together too simple to require ex-
haustive means for safe guarding the
interests of Judaism. Anyone who
was either brave or foolish enough to
break away from traditional Judaism
was threatened with ex-communica-
ton, a punishment dreaded even by
the riffraff. In our age, particularly
in this country, since we are not bur-
dened by the involuntary ghetto, spe-
cial Jewish tax, and yellow badge, the
negative side of our problem, assimi-
lation, looms up more acutely daily.
Self-perpetuation in our own day is
no longer synonymous with following
the path of least resistance. A Jew
at home and a man in the street, as
the poet Gordon taught in the Hask-
allah period would keep in our fold
but few of the many who are on
the verge of assimilation and bring

 The students had entrenched them selves along a ridge of hills and re- 3eived forces supporting Charles with a hot machine gun fire.

LOCAL SCOUTS TO
 PRESENT PLAY HERE
Proceeds to Help Movement in
 Colorado Flood District

Last June the city of Pueblo, Colo which it is struggling bravely to re- cover. Letters from the Boy Scout executive there state that 95 per cent. of the business men of that city are practically. bankrupt as the result of a terrible flood. A movement through out the country is on foot to extend to the business men of Pueblo a years extension of credit to help them get back on their feet and build up the city again..
 During the flood the entire stock of many stores was swept from the buildings entirely and some of it car ried down the river for 20 miles or more. Boy Scouts, under the super vision of their scoutmasters, did good service in saving property and in the rescue of dozens of women and ch1l- dren tro&n second story windows by means of boats and rafts built Tor the occasion. Scoutmaster E. R. Cary lost his life in an attempt to save the lives of two women from a house. The scouts established signal stations about the city at the request of the mayor, as all communication by telephone and telegraph was cut off. This Pueblo affair is an example of what organized scouts cam do for their community in emergency. lss 1T
 AS a result of this disaster the scout council has been obliged to release the business men from their pledges for the coming year for the support or the local scout work. The natlonal council at New York has asked every first class council in the country to contribute s25 to enable Pueblo to carry on until business gets on It's rect once more. In New Britain, money for scout work is available for bare working minimum only and when the proposition was put up to the scouts they said Lets give play
