are good in their tepid way, but
also only stop-gap until you
can get up to Nazareth and find
the third wagon on the second
street.
In former days, the falafel was
simple, stable, uniform article
to be praised or criticized. To-
day it has ramifications and the
faithful falafel consumer has a
new world to explore with each
purchase. For instance, at certain
bus stations you will be served
a whole pitta instead of tradi-
tional half-moon and one fried
knob will protude coquettishly,
giving the effect of a corked
gourd. For this, you pay so mills
Us cents). Fie! You have been
deceived - for the whole pitta
is smaller in circumference than
the half-moon, and has been de-
signed especially for the novice.
Besides, it isn't a pitta by any
stretch of the, imagination, but
smooth, refined, and cake-like.
Again, Fie!
Then, there is the matter Of sal
ad, garnishes, and peppery sauces
which are usually hidden away
under the counter. You may be
rendered a falafel which looks as
pathetically bald as a plucked
SQUAD. In this event, you bang
on the counter and state authori-
tatively, Young man, I was a
falafel expert before you knew
the word, etc., etc. Now, bring
on the pepper sauce"
Incidental data: A man named
Eliahu on Allenby Road claims
to be the first to introduce falafel
to Tel Aviv and takes a benevo-
lent, if critical view of the tens
of upstairs. At Eliahu's you don't
have to mention the pepper
sauce. In fact, you can't get your
falafel without full regalia-his
pride of profession.

DiSregarding nutritional value,
which it may or may not contain,
the half-moon of "pitta," the

Atmosphere
The major question was: Could
falafel, made under modern,
hygienic conditions and lacking
both romantic appeal and the
odor of poor oil, retain its person
ality? This research can only
comment that after widespread
sampling, the falafel purchased
recently across the barbed wire
in Jaffa was superb.
Why it should surpass those
served on handicapped table
(no less) in Tel Aviv is a point
not yet accounted for. Ingre-
dients? Method of preparation?
Or sheer psychological hang

GOOD POSSIBILITY Of
EAU-kETCHIkAN
BASEBALL, SERIES.

Officials of the Juneau Basecall
League today received a letter from
Harry Ludwigsen of the Ketchikan
Athletic Association discussing the
matter of Juneau joining the Ma
ional Baseball Congress. The Con-
gress is an association of amateur
baseball teams throughout the US.
Ludwigsen also suggested an ex-
change of games between ketchl-
kan and Juneau teams. Ketchlkan
has one strong travelling team at
present and has home-and-home
series scheduled with Sitka. The
suggestion is that Juneau schedule
the same type of series with Ketchi-
kan. The idea of the series is to
schedule a double header and wait
for good weather so that the team
NAV travel by air returning home
that night.
Juneau league officials consider
this a good idea because it will be
financially possible for the players
to make these double header trips
with the least possible expense
through the elimination of over
night layovers.
Last nights rained out game be-
tween the Elks and Moose will be
rlayed tonight in Firemen's Park
with game time at $50.

ROBINSON
FLASHING
Al STICK
Tops Cireuifw with Extra Base
Swafs-Has Also Made
Five H0mers
By JOE REICHLER

Brcoklyn's Jackie Robinson, in
the midst of the greatest batting
spree of his career, is taking the
West by storm.
In eight games, the Negro flash
has raped out Is hits in 81 times
at bat for a AL average. He drove
in II runs to boost his league
leading total to 80. His season hat
ting mark now is .316.
He tops the circuit with Is extra
Ease swats including II doubles,
two triples and five hcme runs
He also leads in stolen bases WitE
six. In the field, he is playing
-flawless game.
Robinson whacked a pair of home
runs and a single last night to lead
the Dodgers to 6-1 triumph over
the Pirates in Pittsburgh. Each OF
his blows came with Duke Snider
on tase. Snider collected four hits
in five times at bat.
Backed by 13-hit attack against
Bob Chesnes, Hal Gregg and Cliff
Chambers, Highlander r Up n
Branca rolled to his seventh sue
cessive triumph. The Brooklyn ace
has not been beaten this season.
BOSTON'S MARGIN CUT
The victory, coupled with st.
Louis 81 win over the league lead
ing Braves, enabled the third place
Dodgers to cut Boston's margin to
two games. They trail the second
place Giants by game and hal1.
The Giants lost a golden oppor-
tunity to take over the lead when
they were beaten by the Cubs in
Chicago, 80. Chicago's Bob Chip
man allowed only five hits for his
third victory.
The fourth place Reds went II
innings to nip the Philadelphia
Phils, 4-3, in a night game in Gin
cinnati. Harry Gumbert was the
winner.
10 INNING GAME
The Boston Red Sox, looking
more like pennant contenders each
day, won a tense 10-inning 81
thriller from the Detroit Tigers for
their fourth straight triumph.
BOBBY Doerr's two-run single. sewed
up the game after the Tigers had
taken a TO lead in the top OF the
zenith.
The preseason favorites for the
American League flag now are in
third place, but still four-and-a-
half games behind the tront-run-
ming New York Yankees. The Bronx
Bombers had an easy time of 1T
