Inmates that she does not care to
make her summer home in Pitts

be influenced by her thinking.
However, Greenberg knows only
baseball and loves the game dear
Iy. If he feels that there is more
than q baseball contract in it for
him to sign with Pittsburgh and
sees the future prolonged in the
national pastime, he will, undOubt-

management.
At SO Hank is not exactly a
spring chicken. Most players that
age are definitely on the decline
It is safe to assume that despite
his splendid conditioning Hank is
not the all-round ball player he
used to be. However, the National
League is an easier circuit than
the American loop, and if anything
will add playing time to the slug
gers career, that is it. One thing
is certain, Hank Greenberg will
always be a hitter. He may miss
a fly ball in the outfield every
now and then and he may miss an
occasional game or two, but he will
also break up more than game
or two with his lusty betting. Even
Mr.. Walter Briggs will agree that
his late star still has enough
power left to corral the National

The biggest news of this day or
any other day within the past few
years in the field of sports occur
red last Saturday evening when
Hank Greenberg's sale to, the
Pittsburgh Pirates by the DetrO.:
Tigers was flashed over the wires.
Nobody was more surprised than
big Hank himself who was resting
at his wife's estate in Connecticut
awaiting the stOrk which is due
mOn2entariIy. Hank was miffed
no cid over his sudden departure
from the Tigers.
Those on the inside claim that
Mr.. Briggs, owner of the Detroit
Club, decided to get rid of Hank
after reading an article in a re-
cent issue of the Sporting News
which claimed that Greenberg was
DESTROYS of finishing his playing
days in a New York Yankee uni
form.
The article was illustrated with
a photo showing Greenberg admir-
ing Yankee suit. We are in a
position to reveal for the first
time that Taylor Sphinx, publisher
of the Sporting News, promised
Hank three days before the story
appeared that he was killing the
article, written by Dan Daniel of
the New York World Telegram.
Sphinx reneged on his word and
published the story which decided
Briggs to cast Hank adrift.
Of course all American League
teams had to waive Hank before
he could go to the senior circuit.
Only the Red Sox and Yankees
were in position to claim Green
berg. Joe Cronin, of the Sox, re-
fused to bid for the Jewish slugger
because he can not visualize
Hank in the Red Sox out
field. Since Hank has expressed
a desire to play in the outer gard
ems and no longer cares to cover
the initial sack, Cronin decided to
pass him up. The Yankees were
and still are very anxious to &C.
quire the Bronx Buster but could
not induce Detroit to part with
him on a cash basis. The Tigers
wanted a few Yankee young bloods
in return and thereby quashed
Greenberg's chances for finishing
his playing days in his own back
yard.
| As vet Hank has not definitely
decided whether or not he will con-
tinue playing. Since he is financ-
tally independent, Greene is after
a bit more than just a playing
job. For some time now he has
nursed the ambition to become a
manager or owner of either a big
league club or Hollywood in the
Pacific Coast League.
If the Pirate management offers
Hankus the opportunity to buy
into the club, as many insiders
claim, the Jewish ballplayer may
think twice before calling it a day
on the diamond. Inasmuch as the
Pirates control the Hollywood Club
there is a likelihood that Hank
will eventually get his wish to
continue in the pastime as a
Double AA manager and owner.

Fire Donates One Million
Pounds of Kosher Meat To

DUBLIN (JTA)-The govern
ment of the Irish Free State has
donated 100000 pounds of kosher
meat for distribution among Jew
ish DPS in European camps.
This gift was decided upon fol-
lowing a visit to Dublin of Chief
Rabbi Isaac Herzog, of Palestine,
who, in his talks with cabinet
members, described the plight of
Jewish DPS and emphasized the
shortage of kosher foods in the
camps. The kosher meat sent by
the Fire Government will be dis
tributed among the inmates of

Interesting Points
To Be Given Persons
Contracting Tourists
COMMERCE CHAMBER
SOON TO OFFER FREE
TOURS TO EMPLOYEES
HERE

The Chamber of Commerce has
finished contracting hotels, restau-
rants and stores regarding a pro-
poSal to instruct their employees
about the points of interest in
Key West.
In a short time the Chamber
expects to have Ramon Navarro,
operator of a sightseeing trip,
take the employees of various
stores, restaurants and hotels on
trips throughout the city so they
can be informed of facts that
visitors like to know about.
I'VE have many worthwhile
points of interest in Key West"
says the weekly news letter
that reached all Chamber mem
bers today "All of us should
know where they are located,
what hours they are open and a
little bit. about them so when we
are approached by visitors this
season regarding our interesting
sights we will know all the
answers.
This is good psychology. If a
visitor inquiries about such
things and has to ask several
people before an intelligent an
sWer is given, his opinion of the
points of interest is certainly
lessened.
HE may well say, If the local
people themselves don't know
anything about these things, they
can't be very worthwhile. l
guess I'll pass them up, too"
An announcement will be made
in a few days as to when the
tours will begin. 1t is hoped
that good cross-section of Key
Westers can make the trips.
