Sept. IS
BY GINO SINH

Even at this early date the
Italian-Jewish All-Star baseball
game, scheduled to be played under
the arc lights at Griffith Stadium,
September 10, looms as a drawn
contest.
At the conclusion of meeting
of the two committees making ar
rangements for the epic struggle,
the conversation turned to the
probable winner and each group
vehemently predicted fairly easy
victory for it's team.
Hence, since two teams can't
both win one ball game, the contest
takes on the aspects Of draw.
The argument on the possible
results has become city-wide with
neutral factions remaining dis
creetly silent, while the Italians
are quibbling among themselves
over the likely score by which they
will triumph and the Hebrews
"jawing" over the same contro-
versial point.
Committees at Work
In the meantime, the two COM
mittees are busy polishing up their
lineups and seeing that tickets
are distributed throughout the
city. If the enthusiasm continues
at the current pace, a crowd well
in excess of 5000 people will turn
out.
Italian and Jewish organiza-
lions are supporting the affair
Fundamentally. Other Italian as
sociationS will have to go far to
outstrip the quick and generous
response of the Lido Civic Club,
which expects to sell more tickets
than any other two Italian organi-
cations.
The personnel of the committee
in charge of arrangements for the
italians are Gino SINH, chairman;
Sam Scogna, manager; Eddie CT
motif, team captain, and Ralph CT
priano, business manager. The
Jewish working committee Is
headed by Sidney Katznell, as
chairman; Isador Nitowitz, man.
ager; Phil Sykes, team captain,
and Leo Jaffe, business manager.
