or the British Amateur crown. In
fact. no left-hander has even come
close to any major golf event.
There have been good left-handed
golfers. But no great ones-no
Jones, VardOn, Hagen, Hogan or
Nelson. The portside entries can
pay in the low 70s. they can break
70 here and there, but they are lost
in major events.
In golf there are no such left
hanoed stars as Cobb. Ruth, Jack
son, Speaker and many others. Just
why this is no scientist seems to
know. If so many people can handle
baseball bat so effectively as left
handlers. why not golfers?

IT ORNSBY'S entry into baseball's
- Hall Of Fame brings up once
more an ancient argument. Who
have been the greater hitters-the
right-handers or those who swing
from the left side?
The left-handed swingers offer you
Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, George Sisler,
Lou Gehrig, Joe Jackson, iris
Speaker and Ted Williams for q
starting lineup. This is quite q col
lection of talent to move against.
The right-handers counter with Rog-
ers Hornsby, Hans Wagner, Napo-
leon Lajoie, Ed Delehanty, Harry
Heilmann and Joe DiMaggio-a
pretty fair crop also.
The left-hander. being closer to
first base, has more than a full
strides advantage. I'd say the left
handed hitting side had a slight
edge, but nothing to rave about.
For Hornsby, Wagner, Lajoie, Dele
hanty and DlMaggio could also lean
against the leather.
Don't forget that Hornsby aver
aged above 400 for four consecutive
years, taking in his average for that
time, which is something.
An Odd Turn
Baseball happens to be the one
game in which the left-handed hit
ter takes high place in any all
time ranking.
In golf, no left-hander has ever
won a big championship. No left
handler has ever won the U. S. Open
or British Open. the U. S. Amateur

following season proved otherwise.
The ovcrwe GIT hurler was very
much of flop.
Out with an injury a couple of
years ago, Lefty p'lci on quite a
number of pounds. When he limped
Tome with only three victories and
three defeats for the season, he was
convinced that surplus weight was a
hing of evil. Too, his arm looked as
though it were gone for good: But
lie carae back again last season to
win Is. With any luck, his 1888 vic
tories for the Yankees should be ex-
banded to 200 this season.
Lefty's major league debut wasn't
bowling success. He walked into
his first big league game in 1880
against Detroit when two men were
on base. Lefty took two long wind
Fps and both base runners stole
lone. Senior Gomez departed for
St. Paul with a minimum of delay.
In 1882 he was back with the
Yankees-to stay. He had proved
his ability and the Bronx Bombers
welcomed him with open arms. His
mates, together with few million
fans, hope that Ell Goofy will hit
the 200 victory mark before the 1912
season draws to a close.
AorinI 4rtisf
Cornelius Warmerdam, the g.
year-old California Dutchman who
holds all world pole-vaulting rec
ords. is both elated and disappoint-
ed over his recent triumphs.
Just short time ago, Warmer
dam made the highest vault in his.
tory-a gravity-defying leap of is
feet ia inches.
''Of course was thrilled at setting
the new record" Warmerdam said,
but guess I'll never really be
satisfied until I've cleared the bar
at 16 feet. had my heart set on
reaching that mark"
Warmerdam established the new
record on his third and final try
at the 55rd Boston A. A. track
games. Not content with this mark,
he requested officials to raise the
bar to is feet 10 inches.
After resting half an hour, War
meridian went back to work. He
made three rapid tries. On his final
vault, he appeared to clear the bar
at more than 16 feet. In descend
ing, however, his elbow grazed the
crOssbar just enough to knock II Of
the supports.
Quite a number Of track fans re-
fuse to believe that Warmerdam
won't clear 16 feet. After all, he
came mighty close to ii in Boston. 1t
wasn't long ago that IA feet was con-
sidered a shakespeare leap. The
California school teacher has bet
tered that mark by more than a
toOt and a half. he is the only man
who ever has cleared better than is
feet. and he has managed to do
that more than 20 times.
But the difference between his new
record and his hoped-for goal is 4s4
inches Even the greatest pole vault.
er of them all knows that those
comparatively few inches may be an
insurmountable barrier.

we left, wood cabins were built at
the outskirts of the city-for the

But the Jews have no way to call
them. Nobody who wears the
Jew Star would dare to enter a

Jews husbands of 'Aryan' wives,
for instance. who are not forced
to wear the Star would put

They have to take all these
regulations very seriously. When

to take off the Star after had

question had been cleared with the
authorities. Finally. a circular
letter from the Reichsvereinigung
informed the Jews with double
citizenship that they had neither

this regulation was revoked the
day before we left, and now even

in Germany-we thought the doors
were closed for us forever. Sud-
denly, three days before our de-
parture we got that letter from

The two old ladies were born in

shortly afterwards returned to
Germany with their American
born daughters. The two girls
married German Jews and lost
their American citizenship. Only
after the death of their husbands
were they entitled to apply for
American passports. The Ameri-
can consul informed them that
they could get the passports only
if they returned to America. That
was in the ill-famed November of
1888.
They were old. Their children
had emigrated to England and Bel
GUM. In Germany. they thought.
they could still live on their own
means. In America. they would
be paupers. since Germany would
not allow them to take any money
along. They would soon die. any
way. And thus they postponed
their decision-until the Nazis
started deporting the Jews to
Lublin and other Polish reserva-
tons. Without American pass
ports they could not prove that
they were Americans. They ap-
piled for them again. and a few
days before Americas entry into
