New York, April 21.-One way to look at it, or seeing the brighter side:

JIM DYKES COUNTS
 ON J. HUMPHREYS
BY PAUL sCHETFELs

United Press Stam COrreSpOndenU
 New York, April 21 (U.P) - When Johnny E7umphries tossed four shutout victories in five games for the Chicago White Sox last year, everybody in the major leagues was surprised except Coach Muddy Ruel.
 Humphries got started SO late last season after the White Sox obtained him from the Cleveland Indians on February 2 that his final record showed only four victories against two defeats -- but what vic- tories.
 Sure, we figure for two years that Johnny had ability that Cleve- land never was able to bring out and consequently, when the chance came, we grabbed him." said Ruel.
 when he arrived at Pasadena, Cal, we said to him we want you to pitch the same way you did the first year you were with the Indians and the year before when you were the only Southern League pitcher to win 20 games"
 Regains Confidence, Control
 And apparently 1t worked because HumphrteS now has won a regular berth on the White Sox's very able pitching staff and is counted on by Manager Jimmy Dykes to take a regular, winning turn on the mound.
 "1n my best early days, was just thrower," said Humphries. T believe had as fast 6 bal las Bobby Teller but the battefs finally found I had nothing to mix with my speed and I guess that's why Cleveland gave up on me-"
 According to Ruel, the White sox's biggest difnculty in bringing Humphries around to winning form was in helping him regain con- fidence and control.

''I'n Win Derby On Asa" Jockey James
Others Happy Lanky COIchis Is Not Eligible
BY HARRY CRIMSON NEA Service Shorts Editor

New York, April 2i.--Basil James contends Aisab didn't like the deep and cuppy Hayre de Grace track and promises to boot the record wrecking 2-year old champion of 1e4i home first in the Kentucky Derby, May ?.
 Meanwhile, Q member of owners and trainers are just as well pleased that Colchis was not nonl- mated for the Run for the Roses ct Churchill Downs.
 Immediately after Colchis, the supposed eprinter. had come from precisely nowhere to grab the $i3,350 winning end in the Chesa- peake Stakes, J. II. McCoole, who brings Requested to hand, wanted to know If the Robert Sterling Clark standard bearer was eligible for the Derby.
 Advised that Colchis was not zoe ing to Louisville, Blackie McCoole expressed great relief. Were he headed for the Blue Grass, the gangling and gelded bay son Of Happy Argo-Ancona might further reduce the Derby field.
 Unlike AlSab and Requested, Colchis pronounced Colkis-is not a bargain basement steed. He was fashionably sired ct Upperville, Va, and foaled at Sagamore farm in Maryland. R. Sterling Clark, 6 brother of Ambrose, with whom he doesn't hit it off well, is Vir- ginlan who has bred and raced horses for 20 years.
 COLCHTS THREAT TO DERBY HORSES IN THE PREAKNEsS
 Clark doesn't name a colt for the Derby unless he is really out standing as Q juvenile. Like most other practical racing men, he realizes the Derby is run at too early date. He considers naming @ colt for the Derby dangerous for the thoroughbred and unfair to the trainer. An over- anxious train CT is tempted to rush his charge, Clark can wait with a horse.
 so you'd next hear from Colchis in the pimltco Preakness. May 9.
 Though Colchis had dead-heated and split two decisions with Alsab, and had never been worse than third in IS starts, the players sent Mrs. Albert Sabath's pet away at odds-or, with the cerise and grey flier he was conceding six pounds at 6 to 1.

This on Colchis' home grounds.
 They liked the way Alsab closed ground on Colchis in the Chesa- peake Trial. What they didn't know was that Georgie Woolf lost his whip at the three-eighths pole and had Colchis pulled up at the finish.
 Racing men couldn't see a Happy Argo of class going one mile and a sixteenth, but Farther Vince Mara and Woolf knew Colchls raced bet ter when he came from behind had a arranged plan to drive him from the rear of the pace in the Chesapeake Stakes.

living. That avoidance of the
barb of ridicule is one of the dis
tinguishing marks of truly Jewish
humor.
Despite the fact that Ludwig
Borne, famous German author,
was an apostate, Jews took de-
light in repeating a bon mot of
his. Borne once described gath
ering at which he was present in
which the Jews were mercilessly

Sometimes the swivel-chair So

cuse the Jews of undue pride OF

have a good sense of humor.

Elaborate theories are woven
about the Jewish sense of humor,
and very scientific categories are
devised by which this humor is
classified. The fact seems to be,
however, that the Jew has as
much wit as his neighbor-no
more and no less. The subject
matter differed. The joke was less
likely to be cruel. At times, it
was a jibe at ones self. 1t ought
to be said, however. that most of
what passes as humor today as
dished out by alleged comedians
who happen to be Jews has no re-
lationship whatever to the historic
channels of Jewish humor.

basing his wit on an exaggerated
desire of Jews to become assimi-

Since poverty was the lot of
most of these European Jews, the
stories of beggars and of their
prowess took up predominant
space. Always the poor man was
consoled. A typical rich and
poor" tale goes as follows:
A very wealthy Chassid came
to his rabbi, and the latter spent
several hours with him. In the
meantime, a poor Chassid had ar
rived and was kept waiting. Fin
ally he got in to see the rabbi.
who spent only little while with
him.
AS he went out, the poor Chas-
sid looked hurt. He asked why
the rabbi seemed to prefer to
spend his time with rich people.
Smilingly, the rabbi said: "You
know, it takes me only a short
time to discover that you are a
poor man. But that fellow must
talk to me about many things un-
til 1 realize that he is even poorer
than you"
The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1942-03-06

ing-all of these are Jews inviting
laughter from the audience by
hooking at themselves.
But enough of theories. Here
are a few of the stories. Since
Passover is fast approaching, this
is appropriate for the occasion.
A poor Orthodox Rabbi ap-
preached one of the rich men of
the town who fancied himself a
local Maecenas as well as
scholar. The rabbi tried to sell
him new edition of the Haggadah
which contained two new COM
mentaries.
But surely these new common
taries aren't necessary, what with
all the explanations to the Hag-
gadah we already have" the
wealthy one explained.
But 1 assure you it is neces-
sary," the supplicant replied.
Because despite all the common
taries already written still can
not celebrate Passover"
SILENT LEADER
Those who conceive of the Tai
mudic students of old as musty ex-
plorers of dry text books who
never thought of current affairs
are not familiar with their wry
sense of humor, their mastery at
puns. The seemingly stilted Bibli-
cal verses which were their daily
fodder were related directly to
the foibles of the day.
There is one famous story CEN
tered on Rabbi Jacob Mach, who
used to be Chief Rabbi of Moscow.
He was reading the text which
said of Moses: "He was slow of
speech and of a slow tongue"
This was Rabbi Mazeh's common
tary:
1T was essential that Israel be
led by a man slow to speech. Had
he the gifts of an orator, he would
never have been finished with his
speaking; and Israel would still be
in Egyptian bondage" And Rab-
hi Mach added: To-day the ora
tors seize the leadership and that
is misfortune for the people"
The story is told of the death
of one of the Viennese Rothschilds,
who was carried to his grave with
the pomp that befitted this lead
ing Jew in the pre-Hitler days.
At the far end of the procession
was an obviously poor fellow, who
cried with a bitterness that SEEM
ed greater than that shown by any
of the other mourners.
One of the others in the cortege
came back to the end of the line
! and asked: WAS the Baron rel
alive of yours"
NO" was the answer. That's
why I'm crying"
The story is so told that there
is nothing incongruous nor even
mercenary in the tale. 1t neither
reviles the dead nor shames the
