when dealing with the United
States.
It is clear, therefore, that ev-
cry Jew on earth is in danger not
only of his freedom but of his
life. The danger, whether you
live in Birmingham, England, or
Birmingham, Alabama, may vary
a bit in its immediacy. That is,
a Jew living in England faces
death, merely because he is a
Jew, in three months. We in
America might be wiped out in,
say, a year or two.
So this correspondent feels it
is about time that the Jews in
America realize that they are al
ready on the firing line and that
they are fighting for their lives.
No horror that you can cOnjure
in your imagination will be worse
than what is actually going to
happen, if the worst comes to

lions and turned that nation into

America more than anyone else.
Now is the time to repay it.

chances for such contingency
are even greater than drawing
four aces in six handed game of
stud. Harry enters a ball game
to get one of his teammates out
of a tough spot. Seldom does he
enter with the score in his favor.
He has little to lose and much to
gain. Yet his life in the major
leagues depends on his effective
ness as a relief pitcher and the
fact that Harry has been with the
Indians for some four seasons is
indicative enough of his success.
Harry (the Horse) banning has
been a major disappointment thus
far this season and if his playing
continues at his present perform
ance, Handsome Harry" will
have enjoyed his worst season in
big league baseball since he came
up with the Giants in 1884. It is
our guess, though, that banning,
always a warm weather player,
will get under way this very
month.
LaabS and Moses as well as
Beck and Klinger are compare
tive newcomers to the big time
ball parks. NOnetheIess, their
success is heartening at this stage
of the game. The last three
named are pitchers and of this
lot KIinger of the Pittsburgh Pr
rates seems the most seasoned
and the man with the most abil-
ity, although Sid Beck of the
PhiIIy Nationals is pressing him
hard.
We are not going to discuss
the Jewish baseball players in
the minor leagues in this column.
We are leaving that end of the
game for the August dog days.
Suffice it to say that there are
at least forty more Jewish ball
players in the many minor asso-
Citations this year than in any
other single season. Some OF
these fellows will be in the ma
jors when opening day next sea-
son comes round. It will be in
teresting to watch their careers.
Concluding our resume Of the
activities of Jewish ball players
in Americas favOrite game for
the first half of the 1941 season,
we can best sum it up with the
one word, FAIR. Perhaps the
records in October will move the
needle to Excellent but every in
dication for the first two and one
half months of baseball so far as
Jewish lads were concerned can
only be described as mediocre.

Greenberg, Detroit Tigers; Hank

New York Giants; Harry Eisen-
stadt, Cleveland Indians; Fred
Laabs, st. Louis in the American
League; AL Moses, right field for
the Philly AS, and two starting
pitchers-Bob Klinger of the Pitts
burgh Pirates and Sid Beck of the
Phillies. Greenberg left for the
Army on May 7 and Morris Ar
novich may be gone this very
weekend. His previous deferment,
because of bad teeth, has been ad-
justed and the Sheboygan lad is
all set for double drill and K. p.
duty.
Hank Greenberg was THE draf-
tee of the year. Hank had sign
ed his eighth season with the De-
trOit Tigers at reputed salary
of $5O,OOO-almOst $1,000 per
week. His number came up on
May : and, amid much fanfare
and ballyhOO, Hank was changed
overnight from the No. 1 man in
baseball to an ordinary $21-a-
month private in the new defense
army. Baseball experts are a
greed that Hanks draft will cause
DetrOit's loss of the pennant that
now hangs from the staff in
Briggs Stadium.
AS far as Morrie Arnovich of
the New York Giants is concern
ed, Morrie's draft at this stage
of the game will be no loss to
the Giants. The Giants bought
the Jewish outfielder in order to
fill a wide gap in center field and
they had banked much on the hit
ting powers of this Wisconsin
B'nai Birth boy. Morrie has
been kept as utility man most of
the season and has been a pinch
hitter more times than not. He
started in fewer than half of the
games played to date and his sue
cess at the plate has not been
very great. But, for that matter,
the success of the Giants this
year has not been very good
either.
The six others mentioned seem
slated to escape the draft regula-
lions. And of this number Harry
Eisenstadt, relief hurler with the
league leading Cleveland Indians,
is the white-haired boy who is In
line for a full cut at World Series
money. Should the Indians con-
tinue at their present pace, Brook
