Billy Evans Says
IN REBUTTAI.

Baseball is not only the national
pastime of our country but the game
Of all nations.
A perusal of the box scores of
the various professional leagues
makes interesting reading.
Once. upon a time Irish and Ger
man names predominated. While
still figuring prominently, they form
only small part of the professional
personnel.
Recently I made comment on the
fact that players of Hebrew birth
were few and far between in the
majors.
Since the Jewish boys shine in
many other sports, their failure to
go over big in baseball has always
been more or less of mystery.
In big league circles the opinion
prevails that big business has handi-
capped players of Hebrew birth. To
be a success as ball player, it must
be taken up almost as soon as the
youngstcr is able to walk and throw
Recently l received a very inter-
esting letter on this subject. Com
ing from one of Hebrew birth, I am
willing to accept it in part as final.

your explanation of why there are
so few ball players Of Hebrew birth
in the majors. 1t is not because as
boys they are too busy learning the
fundamentals of business, the art of
making money.
"Instead he devotes an unusually
large part of his time to his educa
ton, which is, perhaps, one of the
ways Of making money in the end.
However, the average American
born Jewish youngster has the same
aptitude for sports as the other
American boys. Baseball is the most
popular of all. Basketball is a close
second.
Drop around to the Fairgrounds
in any city and you will find the
Jewish boy well repre- scented in every
game that is being played
Now for The punch of the letter,
the very best reason l have ever
heard in explanation of the scarcity
Of the Hebrew in major league ball.
PARENTS OBJECT
"The big reason for the scarcity of
Jewish big leagucrs is the strong
parental objection to an athletic
career of the professional type.
The parents of the present-Jew
ish generation Of youngsters are for
the most part folks who were born
in Europe. They have different in
terests c:d ideas of recreation and
think more highly of intellectual
pursuits than indulgence in sports.
when the present generation Of
Jewish American-born youngsters
becomes the adult generation, and
being born in this country has an
interest in the national game, then
there will be no parental objection
to sports career and Hebrew stars
will make their names in the ma
jors."
The writer Of the letter said he
expected this to happen in about 10
years and that John McGraw's wish
for Hebrew to star with the New
York Giants would be fulfilled.

YANKEE ICE
B0XESPUZZLE
BRITISHERS
Surprised That Most Families
in This Country Have
RefrigeratOrs
BY MILTON BRONNER
NEA Service Writer

London, April 27.--You'd nevel
believe it, but these British cousins
are getting all warmed up over the
ice question.
In the past few months some
| newspaper editors and some health
authorities have discovered that
Britain is just hundred years be.
hind the times in the sanitary han
ding of foodstuffs.
And America is held as model.
The result has been a campaign
forcing the meat handlers to be
more clean.
And now some editors have dis
covered that the Yankees are
ahead in another thing. Most
American families have an ice box
in which they keep their perishable
foods. All this seems passing
strange to the Briton.
England is actually so far be-
hind the times that Swedish firm
finds it pays to advertise in Eng
lish papers that it can send car
loads of natural ice over from Swe-
den at fairly reasonable prices.
Manufacture of artificial ice, as
we know it in every American
town, is still little known over
here.

Greb as an all-round workman in the
ring, we think we'd string along
with the Buffalo youngster.
Can Hit Harder
Slattcry hits just as fast as Greb
with either hand and HARDER
Greb seldom hurts you. Slattery al
ways hurts you. Greb's speed kept
him out of danger in the six-round
tusslc. 1t might not hold out for
him in longer fight.
Slattery will probably be thrown
against Greb late in August in a
championship fight outdoors.
BY August, Slattery will have
reached his majority and will be
eligible to participate in the longer
fights. A commission rule has re-
stricted his local appearances here
tofore to six rounds.
AS a young phenom of the ring,
Slattery seems to have completely
crowded Willie Stribling of Georgia
out of the pictures.
The answer is, Slattery is punch
Ell. Stribling isn't.
Your prize fight follower does not
change as the years roll on. The
same cid prmordial thirst for blood
that existed in Mr.. Gus H. Hatchet,
the well known caveman of the stone
age period, is still there.
Punch Shows Way
The fancy steppers and clever tap
pers may have their exclusive re-
stricted followings. but the boys who
swing, from the hip and leave in
their wage limp forms of indiscreet
chalcngers, will always command
the enthusiasm of the mob.
So. if Mr.. James Slattery of Buffalo
continues his winning ways and
presently ascends to the title, his
popularity will be no less widespread
and sincere than that enjoyed by
Messrs. Dempsey and Walker. two
other Irishmen, who arc not afraid
to put all they have behind their
punches.

New York. April q. Mr. James
Slattery of Buffalo's historic First
Ward, seems destined to be the next
middlewcight champion of the world
Mr.. James Slattery, is Il fine up
standing Irishman, 20 years Of age
who has taken to the vulgar bust
ness of fist singing quite as natur-
ally as the Slatterys of any COM
munity are popularity supposed to.
A week or so ago Mr.. James Stat
terry stifled a yawn and bounced
Augie Rather for a morbid inquest
in less than two rounds, completing
the unpleasant task with the grace
of Corbett and the finaity of a
Dempsey.
Not many of the younger set in
knuckledom are manhandling Mrs.
Ratner's bald-headed boy that way
these days.
Withstood Paul's Punches
We remember seeing Paul Berlcn-
bach, the distinguished paralyzer,
spray Rather from head to foot with
various kinds Of Dynamite last fail
without once causing the hairless
husky to leave his feet.
1t is also written in the musty
records that Rather once stopped
Jack Delaney dead in his French
Canadian tracks with left hook to
the heart. This is the same Delaney
who has been figuring prominently
in the prints as result of his encr-
getic cscapadcs with one Tiger
Flowers.
The present mjddeweight cham
pion, if you haven't forgotten, is
Harry Grcb. The champion shaded
Slattery in a siX-round bout some
months back This should not have
surprised anyone. Greb is still in
vinciblc over the sprint distance.
How the champion would fare
against Slattery in a longer fight Of
II or 10 rounds is something else.

Glover is always slow and especially
so when it is damp. 1t causes short
puts. And then before the round
is half complete, according to how
strongly the sun is shining, the
greens will have dried up and have
regained their former speed.
Wetness also affects side roll
on undulating greens and allowance
for that should be made.
On a side-hill putt from right to
left | have found it easier to play
to the right rather than take more
direct Iine to the hole and cut the
putt. This at least fills the mind
with only a single thought.
