There are, it is estimated, al
least $50 bowlers of Jewish ex
traction to be found on local al
leys who have pretty clear
idea Of what bowling is all about
A goodly number Of the other
10000 members of the race who
have found a home in the Dis
trict try the game occasionally.
The main bulk of these duck
pin-smashers are to be found in
the 10-team Hebrew Inter-Cluh
League which holds sway every
wednesday night at the Temple
alleys under the watchful eyes Of
Make Rosenberg, who, among
many other things has been
elected president of the league.
The 10 teams in this league are
recruited from the various Jew
ish clubs in the city and the loop
has been thriving vigorously dur
ing its six years of life.
Here again it was the bene-
ficial influence Of the game
which attracted interest
among the Jewish population
and made the parents only
too glad to encourage their
youngsters to participate.
Beginners are welcomed and
encouraged on the various teams
in the loop, and the fact that one
may be rank novice or an out
and-out dub" means little be-
cause a very liberal handicap
system is used, so that all teams,
regardless of the caliber of play
erS. have a fair chance to win.
Joe WaSSerman is vice presi-
dent Of the league, Bill Goldberg,
secretary-treasurer, and Meyer Rel
ness, treasurer.
For several years the Vista
Club had a Strangle hold on the
title, but last year it had to step
aside for Mardelle, finishing
fourth. At that it was only two
games behind the winner, which
proved how closely matched the
teams were. Vista had the best
team average, but the presence
Of Hymie Schecter in the Mardel.
les lineup proved the deciding
factor.
There is only one team COM
posed Of Jewish boys outside of
this league, and that one includes
Eddie ESpey, whom Dave Cox
dubs '"The Irish jew"
That team is the LO-KO
Service in the Recreation
League. The boys who toe
the foul line under the aegis
Of this team are Hympie
SChecter, Sammy BOrtnick,
Clarke Seigel and Milton KOlo-
din. The team Is well UP to-
ward the top at present.
In reviewing Jewish bowling
team activities the famous Rialto
combination in the defunct Ath-
letic League Of two years ago,
must be mentioned and also the
brilliant international matches
bowled against All-Italian teams
in 1928.
The two brightest Jewish bowl.
ing stars are Make Rosenberg
and George Friend. These two
have been top-flight bowlers for
the last decade and both have
won many city-wide honors.
Make last year captured the
Howard Campbell Sweepstakes,
which is to District bowling, what
the Kentucky Derby is to horse
racing. George also gave a spark
ling exhibition all last year.
Two other boys shone out with
particular luster the past sea-
son. Sam Simon carried a III
average in the Masonic League
and Hynie Schecter southpawed
himself into general prominence
Make Rosenberg is cap
tanning the Temples District
League team. This team fin
iShed the 1S2S.3O campaign
with a bang, King Pin being
forced to the limit to nose
them out by q small margin.
Make Is confident Of the title
this year.
