The Nation Oh ZangWill

The "Nation" has this keen obser-
walton on Zangwill which will be ap
preciated by all who was in any way
in touch with his speeches and writ
ings:
"IIis custom of wrapping the
pearl of wisdom in the tinfoil of
epigram antagonized this literal
minded people. They suspected
the sincerity of one who could
joke about matters OF great
seriousness and import, and they
failed to see the justice of his
comments for the jest. Zangwill
was fully aware of the extent 10
which his manner injured the sub
stance of his appeals to reason.
but he would not change his style.
II was n sacrifice he was not pre-
pared to make for any ideal. His
case was practical illustration
of Johnson's far-fetched quip
about Shakespeare. A bubble
was to him the fatal Cleopatra for
which he lost the world and was
content to lose it, Without doubt
it was this trivial weakness that
deprived Zangwill of the acknowl-
edged leadership in Jewry-and- -
far greater loss-deprived the
Jewish people of his leadership.
Thus did the writer injure the
man even as the man had injured
the author"
If he had changed in any way, thel
he would no longer have been Zang
will, and Zangwill was Zangwill an,
| wouldn't have had him change fo
the world.

MilIer's Auto Record
Louis B. Miller of San Francisco,
Jewish sportsman well known all over
California, has made what is consid-
cred worlds record for cross-country
automobile racing. Leaving the Pacific
3,367 miles in SO hours and IL min
utes. When Miller arrived in New
York, he and his machine felt in the
pink of condition, ready to go back, in
an attempt to beat his own record
Miller surely is born automobilist.
BASEBALL
Major league magnates have come
to realize the great box-office attrac-
ton of Jewish athletes. Various at
tempts have been made during the
past year to develop jewish ball
players and to play them up on the
sporting pages as Jews. The most
noteworthy example is Andy Cohen,
John McGraw's find for the New
York Giants. 1t seemed to us that
Andy Cohen has in him the makings
of great ball player, but the leaders
of the Giants think that Andy needs
more seasoning. With the exception
of the old reliable Sammy Bohne,
formerly of Cincinnati, and now with
the Brooklyn National team, and 81
Rosenthal of the Red Sox, Jewish ball
players are not to be seen on any of
the major league teams. Moe Berg,
who was declared ready for one of
the big league teams at the beginning
of the season, has vanished somehow.
Joe Wahl, a non-Jewish former big
league star, has opened baseball
park in Brooklyn, n. Y, with the
specific intention of developing jew
ish professional baseball stars.
1t is not cxaggerating to predict a
Jewish period in American tennis in
promising junior players have re-
Gently come to the fore, and tennis
authorities see the future senior
champions in these youngsters.
Among the most eminent of these we
would mention julius Seligson of
New York, Eddie Jacobs of Balti-
more, Sandy Wiener of Philadelphia,
Phil Milstein OF. Denver, and Morton.
Bernstein of New York. There are,
of course, greater number of
youngsters in various parts of this
country. Kurt Bergman, one of the
ranking players of Germany, will un-
doubtedly play big part in inter
national tennis competitions as soon
as Germany is permitted to take part
in such tournaments.

from Suzanne. The gallery is always
with her opponent, whose every earn.
ed point will often bring a perfect
storm Of applause. This Is only natu-
raj; In any contest 1t usually is the
under dog who gets the sympathy of
the crowd.
When Suzanne sees her opponent
showing the slightest signs of ia
tigue she redoubles her efforts and
speeds up the game. This is where the
physical training that have made her
go through stands her in such good
stead. Her splendid wind and endur.
ing powers can double her efforts
when those of her opponent are
halyed.
Even with the score against her
Suzanne does not lose courage. She
has pulled many set out of the fire
by settling down to n steady, courage.
GUS uphill climb when everything
seemed to point to defeat.
To finish this chapter I would like
to say a word about doubles. The
play is very different from singles
and requires very different sort Of
strategy. When Suzanne has to play
doubles / always try to find her the
best possible partner. This precludes
the possibility of her opponents play
ing to the weaker player. makes a more
interesting game, and prevents Su-
zann from overtiring herself by trying
to take the burden of the attack and
carrying along with her a weaker
player.
