The Grotto, an exact replica

skating and his magnificent de-
tenslve tactics but to no avail.
JEFF, too, was sold down the river
and wound up in the farm teams
of the majors.
LEVINSKY, STILL OUTSTAND-
ING STAR OF JEWS
Alex Levinsky, now playing
with the Philadelphia Ramblers,
a chain-gang owned by the New
York Rangers and only once re-
moved from the Chicago Black
Hawks, is by far the best of the
Jewish lads playing on thin ice.
LeVinsky was born in Syracuse in
1909, but moved to Toronto i'm
1914. He learned to skate on dou-
Die runners as a kid of seven and
took up hockey with a boys club
when he was only nine. At the
time he played on the forward
wall of the Toronto Junior Hook
ey club and developed such speed
that he was nicknamed "StreaIxy."
Hockey, however, wasn't tn e
only sport Alex went in for. He
was known as the leading all
round athlete in Canada, "the am
ateur Lionel Conacher," a hockey,
baseball, football and basketball
star -. before he decided to con-
centrate on hockey.
In 1925 he joined the Toronto
Marlboros, one of the best anna
teur groups in the Ontario Hook
ey Association. He played with
his sextet until 1880, shifting
from a forward post to a defen-
sive spot where he found he was
much more effective and the game
more suited to his skating tech
nique. And because of this pecu-
liar ice form, plus stamina, and
ability to take it and dish it out
as well in near-the-net perform
ances, Levinsky rated number one
defense man within year.
Ten years ago the manager of
the Toronto Maple Leafs dropped
in to see LevinSky's team in the
championship playoffs. He was so
impressed with the Jewish lads
ability that he signed him on OPP
ton Immediately after the game.
Levinsky was still playing
defense for the Leafs when the
Toronto Sextet won the Stanley
Cup for the World Championship
in 1882.
Alex was sold to the New York
Rangers in 1884. Les Patrick, boss
of the New Workers, sensed the
"boX-office draw" of a Jewish
hockey player in the metropolis
and the spirit that the kid could
lend to his WObbly outfit was sore
ly needed.
But somehow Levinsky's stay
in New York was not as success
full as it might have been. He be-
gan his Ranger career suspicious
ly enOugh-the critics buzzed a.
plenty after his first three or
four games. Then came words
with the boss and Immediately
afterWard there was a let-dOWn in
Levinsky's brand of play. He
lacked sometimes even fight.
Men slipped by him with ease and
his skating was cratic. We recall
once taking Paul Peters to watch
Alex perfOrm-the first time that
a Jewish hockey player had ap-
peared clad in the uniform of the
home team. But Peters comment
was a salty "He's the worst guy
on the ice."
Of course, Alex was sold down
the river at the end of the sea-
son. He was grabbed by the Black
Hawks of Chicago and in 1885
the kid really went to town. Alex

PASSING THE PUCK

He was the team. The Hawks won

finally smashed home through the
opposing gOalie's legs. And all this
at a speed that would shame a
Jesse Owens. It's thrilling.
Why then are there so few Jews
in hockey?
The number of Jewish athletes
in boxing, football and baseball
and many other physically Cruel
ing sports would certainly indi-
cate no lack of courage or stami-
ma that ice-hOcIey would demand.
The answer is simple :. Canadian
players mOnOpOlize virtually all of
the jobs in the two divisions of
the major hockey leagues and
there are few Jews in the Domin-
ion.
In the last two decades, how
ever, six Jews have played pro-
fessionally and cracked the bar
riers that are open into the major
league. Five of these lads have
played well above the average.
One of them has been relegated
to the minor circuits but is still
convinced that he's worth one
more try with the big fellows.
Max Kaminskey, of Niagara
Falls, Ontario, was regarded as
one of the most promising young
sters in the game and has been
called by Frank Patrick, presi-
dent of the Boston Bruins, "the
greatest playmaker in hockey"
Kaminskey dropped out of the ma
jOrS some two years ago.
Sammy Rothschild, formerly
with the Montreal Maroons, was a
standout for several years. Maur-
ice Roberts had a try-out as goalie
with the New York American be-
fore he was sent to the minor
league Cleveland outfit for addi-
tional seasoning. He never came
back.
Cecil Hart, whose death last
year was mOurned throughout the
sports world, was one Jewish
player who rose to the top. He
was the manager of Les Canadiens
and saw that ice-gang through sew
