also quit on him. Then, Rog-
OWN caught on with the Phil
lies, had himself examined by
doctors, who discovered that
he suffered from a form of
sleeping sickness. which made
him seem lazy, Indifferent and
tired!
ONCE THE DISEASE was
known, and treated, Rogovin
felt better, was given chances
to rest, and started to win
once again. In 1855, he was
one of the more effective
pitchers in the league, and
held up his end of the job in
1856 as well.
Which leads us to the final
member of the trio, young
Sandy Koufax of the Brooklyn
Dodgers. A bonus player, a
f "a S t : throwing highlander,
Koufax was not expected to
help the Dodgers much in 1855
and, indeed, most of the year
was just another name on the
roster. But as the season
reached its climax and Brook
lyn stars took sick, Sandy was
given a chance to make good
and he pitched two shutouts
in a row! For the rest of the
year he was as helpful as the
better-known Brooklyn tWirl-
ers who led the Dodgers to a
pennant and their first World
Series victory.
IN 1856, Sandy was no long
er thought of as a kid on the
bench. Now and again, he won
his chance to start a game,
and when he did, more often
than not, he was impressive.
Still a very youthful lad, San
dy Koufax has the speedball
that all scouts look for and
the natural ability to make the
grade in a big way.
The Jewish a t h / e tie S to
watch are the stars like Al
Rosen and the comers like
Sandy Koufax and Larry
Boardman. Who knows, as
Israel develops, some athletic
greats may come from the
Jewish State. 1t would fit into
the pattern of Israels mir

their way towards American
ization, they produced Benny
Leonards and Ruby Gold
stems, and Barney Rosses. At
this writing, there isn't an out
standing Jewish headliner, ex-
cept for a newcomer from
Connecticut named L AIRY
Boardman, who created a SEN
sation a couple of months ago
in Madison Square Garden.
Fighting against third-rank-
ing lightweight frankie Ryff,
Boardman showed himself to
be a diamond in the rough as
he polished off Ryff. Taking
a boxing lesson from the bril-
liant Ryff, Boardman pole
axed him in a late round and
knocked Ryff out for the first
time in his career.
With that punch, Boardman
catapulted himself into the
forefront of the lightweight
division-and became the first
Jewish fighter of years to at
tain such heights. How differ

Arnovich of the Phillies and
o t h er good National and
American League players.
The minors were peppered
with some Jewish athletes
with major league potential.
THERE REMAIN t h r e e
Jewish ball players who are
worthy of more extended COM
ment. The first, of course, is
AL RoSen of the Cleveland In
dians. 1t can safely be stated
that when Al Rosen was NAM
ed the Most Valuable Player
of the American League in
1858, he became one of the
finest Jewish diamond stars in
history. He was chosen unani-
mously, a feat accomplished
by no other player in the his
tory of the game.
He was the best player of
the year in 1853, and then he
was injured and declined, at
least on the records, during
the next two seasons. In 1856,
working his heart out for his
club, still handicapped by in
juries, the Indian fans started
to "get" on him-and it was
the subject of much ire all
over the League. But Rosen
fought back against his de-
tractors, and remained the
best clutch hitter on the In
dian squad, and he had a big
hand in Cleveland's successes
in a hot pennant chase.
THE SECOND JEWISH
name that belongs in this dis
cussion is Saul Rogovin of the
Philadelphia Phillies. In 1851,
he had the best earned-run
mark in the Major Leagues, as
he pitched brilliantly for the
Chicago White Sox. The fol-
lowing year, he had arm trou-

ON THE OTHER HAND,
Jews are emerging in areas
where they seldom showed up
well previously - mainly be-
cause they had had no oppor-
tunities. Tennis is one OF
those areas. Until a handful
of seasons ago, a top-notch
Jewish tennis player was a
rarity. Then Dick Savitt and
Herb Flam both hit the head
lines. Savitt became Wimble-
don king and Flam went far
in the American finals.
In the national game of
baseball, Jews are playing a
smaller role at present than
they have in a decade. One

a half dozen Jewish players of
