this cemetery, maintained through
his beneficence, that Longfellow

War Veterans To
Honor Judah TOurO

(COnI1Lu6Q 1TOIIl dSO OAAOJ
Judah Touro ever married. Touro
became a recluse, never leaving
New Orleans, and maintaining
himself completely apart from all
women.
Settling in the southern city OF
5000 persons, Touro, Immediately
upon his arrival, opened a small
store along the river front. He
soon became a leading light in the
commerce OF New Orleans.
In 1915, while serving under
General Jackson in the defense OF
New Orleans, Touro was severely
wounded by a twelve pound shot
after volunteering for dangerous
mission, that of carrying ammuni-
ton from the powder magazine to
Humphreys Battery. A miracu-
lous recovery allowed Touro to re-
turn to his business which became
so successful that upon his death
in 1854, at the age of 70, his estate
was large enough for him to will
over one-half million dollars to
charitable institutions in New
York, Boston, Newport, and New
Orleans. Of this amount, over
100000 was left to non-Jewish
philanthropies
Unquestionably, Judah Touro
was one of Americas early mil
lionaires and one of the first of its
great line of philanthropists. In
life, as in death, charity was his
greatest interest. In 1886, for in
stance, he provided funds for the
first Free Public Library in the
city of New Orleans. Earlier, in
1922, when the New Orleans Uni
tartan Church found itself unable
to raise funds to take over its
mortgaged church, Touro pur-
chased the property and made it
available free to the church au-
thorities.
Although his philanthropies
were wide and INSTRUMENTATION
al, Touro was also loyal to his own
heritage and gave literally to Jew
is causes. Touro Synagogue in
Newport, the oldest synagogue
building in America, the 2S5-year-
old Congregation Shearith Israel
in New York, and Touro Syna-
gogue in New Orleans are among
the synagogues that were the re-
cipients of his benevolence.
Touro might also be considered
one of the first of the American
Zionists inasmuch as he gave lib
orally to Palestine. Even at this
late date, there are homes in the
suburbs of Jerusalem now occupied
by needy dependent Jewish fam
lilies, which were built with his
money. In his last will and tesla
ment he bequeathed $4,000 to be
spent in Palestine. Explaining this
gift, Touro said that it was made
because of his earnest wish to
cooperate with Sir Moses Monte
fore of London, Great Britain, in
endeavoring to ameliorate the
conditions of our unfortunate Jew
ish brethren in the Holy Land"
G. w. Warren, historian of the
Bunker Hill Monument, summing
up the character of the man, said
of Judah Touro:
HE was one of the smallest of
all classes, into which mankind
can be divided, of men who accu-
mulated wealth without ever do
ing a wrong, taking advantage, or

World Congress
Plans Better Relief

NEW YORK (JTA)-Summar-
izing the relief activities it is now
carrying on, the World Jewish
Congress said in a statement here
that "plans of a more construc-
tive nature are being formulated

greatest number of Jewish refu-
gees are congregated."

the Red Sox an opening through which they

letics to score ten runs and win, 1913.
Catcher - lombard has competition in
the person of Hank Gowdy. Hank stepped
into his mask going after Muddy Ruel's foul
pop in the ninth inning of the 1924 Washing
ton-Giants finale he stumbled. missed the
catch and thus gave Ruel another chance to
bat Muddy promptly smacked the next pitch

Pitcher Paul Derringer. of the 1881 Cards
and present-day Reds, who has been in two
Series and failed to win game.
All these men performed wondrous deeds
on other days sometimes in the very same
Series. but they always will be remembered
chiefly for having been selected as World
Series goats.
It's all wrong - even if the player has been
guilty of the stupdest mental lapse or the
clumsest mechanical error. But what makes
it worse is the fact that usually the unfor-
tunate player hasn't been guilty of anything
except being involved in game winning play
- on the losing side. In nearly every case. the
goats have been falsely labeled.
For proof, you need 60 no further back than
last year. If anybody was the goat in the
Lombard case, Bucky Walters was the man.
Bucky himself brings up this point, over
looked by all the experts.
Il should've been right there to recover
the ball and tag out DiNfaggio' says Bucky.
And then he explains: When saw DiMag's
drive was a safety, rushed from the mound
over behind third to back up any play there
for Keller. When the ball hoped against
Goodman's shoulder and Keller headed for
home, | should've torn for the plate, too -
but was rooted where stood"

WHY He Didn't Throw

0URE, Tim did chase Collins when the fleet
Eddie got caught between third and home.
And there's no denying he held the ball and
failed to throw it to anybody when Eddie
finally broke for the plate - for the very
simple reason that there was nobody at home
plate to throw to!
Catcher Rariden had correctly moved up
toward third to help in the rundown. and
neither Pitcher Rube Benton nor First Base
man Holke had thought to back up home.
Collins, always smart player. noticed that
lapse - and waited his chance. As the catcher
tossed to Zimmerman, Collins slipped by
Rariden and dashed for home, with no one to
head him off, Zimmerman had no choice he
chased Collins across the plate trying to tag
him.
Tim was no goat" by any manner of
means In fact, throughout the Series he had
been positively brilliant in the field, knocking
down sure hits time after time Few fans real
ize that Tim set Series record for third
basemen by handling twenty three chances
f1awlessly during the six games. But that
Collins incident apparently has blotted out all
memory of this. Indeed, his futile but neces-
sary footrace with Collins has cast a cloud
over Zims entire major-league career Folks
never seem to remember he was one of the
greatest of all third basemen.
Strangely and unhappily, it always seems
that the fellow who is singled out as the goat
has been the star of his team during the

"HE New York Yankees victory IN last
years World Series is matter of record
- But the play on which they scored the
final runs in the rout of the Cincinnati Reds
has become matter of fable, fantasy, false
hood. To hear the storyteller describe it, you
would think poor Ernie lombard was alone
responsible for the Reds defeat From the
way they talk, you would think lombard
lay on the ground taking Rip van Wrinkle as
Yankees merrily skipped around the bases,
scoring run after run.
The truth is, Lombardi was practically I'M
conscious. It's wonder he knew where he
was, much less where the ball was
1t all happened in the tenth inning of the
fourth and final game. The Reds were def
nitely on the spot. The Yanks had won three
straight games. With only one out, Crosetti
and Keller were fdgeting on the bases when
Joe DiMaggio dashed Bucky Walters Sunday
scored and, when the ball took freakish hop
against Ival Goodman S shoulder, Keller broke
for home. Goodman recovered quickly but his
throw to the plate took short hop and
lombard had all he could dc to get control
of it. Just as he seized the ball and swung
about in half -stoop to make the tag, Keller
crashed into him. The big Yank's knee caught
Ernie unintentionally with a sickening thud
on the left side of his temple - and Ernie
crashed to the dirt. The ball trickled away
He lay there as stunned as if felled by a bat
Meanwhile the hitter, DiMaggio had
streaked to third. AS he charged into that
base, Coach Art Fletcher, seeing the ball roll
ing free, waved him home Before Ernie could
regain control of himself and of the ball,
DiMaggio had flung himself across home plate
in sweeping slide for the third run of the
play.
The storytellers fail to mention that
DiMaggios score was not the winning run.
Nor was Kellers. Crosetti's was the deciding
tally Both Keller and DiMaggio were excess
baggage.
But to admit this would spoil the story
teller's yarn. They wouldn't be able to drape
the goatskin over Lombardis substantial and
able shoulders in the annual and lamentable
custom of picking World Series goat"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1940-09-29

Bill Dickey, star catcher of the rival
Yankees, and good Judge of such plays, also
hastens to Ernie's defense. He wasn't at
fault, at all" Bill told everyone who wanted
to listen. Were you ever hit by two-ton
truck? Give the guy break
But the historians probably won't. They
seldom do. Take the case of Heinie thinner
man. Mention his name to baseball fans and
right away they'll say, Zimmerman? Oh,
yeah. that's the chump who chased Eddie
Collins across home plate with the ball in his
hand - in the last game of the 1917 Series
between the Chicago White Sox and New
York Giants"

bY Richard Mccain

Through the years, some of baseball's
gamest and ablest performers have been
dubbed goats" In fact you could compile an
all-time all-star team composed solely of these
luckless fellows "a team that could beat
most of the heroic series-winning combma-
tons.
Any major-league manager today would
gladly swap his entire team for this outfit:
First Base - Fred Merkle, New York
Giants, who was blamed for not pursuing a
foul pop from Iris Speakers bat in the 1912
series with the Red Sox Fred stuck to first
base in the hope of doubling a runner who
had soooted for second on the foul. The
catcher would have caught the foul, except
that the wind blew it too far toward Merkle.
On the next pitch. Speaker tripled. winning
the game And Fred became goat because of
a stray breeze.
Second Base - Tony Lazzeri, Yankees,
singled out as the goat of the 1926 games
with the St. Louis Cardinals because he was
struck out by Grover Cleveland Alexander
with the bases full in the sixth inning of the
seventh and final game.
The Other "Goots"
! HIRD BASE - Heinie Zimmerman, Giants,
doomed to goathood because he chased Eddie
Collins of the White Sox across the plate with
the winning run in 1917
Shortstop - Roger Peckmpaugh, Washing
ton Senators, whose eight errors helped the
Pittsburgh Pirates capture the 1925 cham
pionship.
Left Field - "Shoeless" Joe Jackson,
Chicago Black Sox, was barred from baseball
for life although he received none of the bride
money in 1919 and, in fact, was a star with
record number of base hits twelve in eight
games. His perfect throw from left field to
home plate to nip a Cincinnati run was one
of the principal tip-offs that the Sox were
throwing the Series. The throw was so good,
Pitcher Eddie Cicotte knew the Red runner
would be caught at the plate, so he leaped up
and DETECTED the ball.

Telephone for

Many operators of summer re-

are planning week end vacation
trips TO make sure of their reser-
vations by telephoning ahead.
Experienced vacationists have
found that one of the great sources
of satisfaction is in making sure
of comfortable places to stop. They
find during crowded periods and
week ends they otherwise must
continue to look for accommoda-
tons instead Of arriving at a plea
SAINT end to a long and firing trip.
1T is always an advantage to
have everything in readiness for
guests before they arrive" said one
resort owner. 1T is an advantage
to the traveller himself to know
that he has a reservation, or to
know that he cannot get reser-
walton before he discovers 1t at the
end of the day"
Those who travel by highway
and do not telephone ahead before
leaving home will find direction
signs at the roadside calling atten-
ton to conveniently located tele-
phones en- route. A stop long
enough to place a call will often
insure a comfortable and enjoyable
overnight or week end holiday.
