Starting with | VERY FEW JEWISH BASEBALL STARS Billy Evans Discusses {he National Pastime — (BY BILLY EVANS) Tt is a fact that very few ball players of Hebrew extraction make This is rather suruprising, smr»l the Jew shines in other sports, the fight game in particular. During a recent fanning bee at one of the spring tralning camps Hughey Jennings offered what I re- gard as the real reason for the fail- ure of the Jew athlete to shine in the majors. The successful ball player, the fel- low who makes the bigshow, must | start playing ball the moment he is able to walk and go through the mo- | tions of throwing. From the ages of six to 12 is the | | most important perlod in the de- velopment of the ball player. He must master the fundamentals of the ¢ game and train properly the muyscles used in baseball, “It is absolutely a physican ime possibility for A boy to shun basae- ball until he is 14 or 15 years old and then take it up with a hope of becoming proficient. | "It is impossible to develop the haseball muscies at such a late age. During the period when the young- ster should be playing baseball if he wants to be a star, the Jewish boy | is learning the fundamentals of business, the art of making money. | The theory propounded by Jen-| | nings was generally accepted as the real reason for the fallure of the {Jew to shine in major league circles. | He's a street or store merchant at | the time when the ball-playing| youngster is in the making. ! Witty Solution It is & matter of record that dur- | ing the past 20 years there paven't| been over a half dozen star major ball players of Hebrew extraction. | | In this connection it i3 a most| | interesting fact that there are no! mora enthusfastic fans in the coun-| try than the Jews.

Rocke. feller, are pinned hopes that an American will become queen of the British links and empress of world's goltdom this year for the firat time, Having won every title on the links this side ‘of the Atlantic she | sought before he was old enough to vote, Miss Glenna Collett is leaving shortly to seek the British women's open title at Troon, Scotland, in the tournament beginning May 15, Golfers who have followed her | scintlllating career at national, east- ern and southern champlonships in | the United States a®e certain that she has the ability to win British laurels, even against the clever Miss Joyce Wethered, present British titleholder, sister of another famous golfer, and far ahead of other links- | women of Great Britain. But there must be consideréd the matter of breaks of the game on the blustery seaside course at Troon,| and also the jinx that seems to have pursued American golfers of both sexes in their quests of honors in the birthplace of the royal anq ancient game. Perhaps the dime which the | 83 year old linksman gave recently | to the young féminine star at Or-| mond Beach, Fla, for good luck, will have an effect in this ponnec- tion. None Has Yet Won No American girl has yet won the | Pritish title, although euch stars as Miss Alexa Sterling, of Atlanta, and Miss Edith Cumming$ have tried t. And while both the Brtish amateur and open titles have been won by American male golfers, it was only after several attempts, Walter Hagen, now British open champion, fared poorly In hie first quest for| this noted cup. Francis Ouimet, Dobby Jones and Chick Evans are| others whom fortune seems to have | desprted when on the links in the| British Isles. Miss Collett has victories over| noted British linkswomen' to her| credit, however. When she won the American national women's title in 1922, her opponent in the final round was Mrs. W, A, Gavin, then com-| peting from a club in the New York | district, but who has since returned to live in her native England. The great Mise Cecil Leitch of England, who defeated Alexa Sterling several times, lost to Misa Collett in 1921 in competition for the Berthellyn- cup, an annual fixture in the Phila- delphia district that attracts leading | feminine links stars from all parts | Won 16, |MoGrath, e, £, & ... ssful Season, Their Victory Champs Climaxing Pro- - years 480, then known as the Boos- ters, they had a very asuccessful sea- son, The team consisted of Capt. Cohen, Berkowitz, Politls, Zalden, Banders, McGrath and Bucherri. The following year the team under the same name closéd an enviable season by defeating the strong Boys' club Panthers.: Last year, the members of the |team beigg sought by different or- ganizations, the Dboys organized rather late in the season, However, they closed their season by defeat- ing the crack Hartford Y. M. H. A Jvs, (Hartford and State Junior champs, 1928-24.) The present scason was a fairly successful one. Early in the season several players left the team to play with the High school. One of them, | Politis, obtained all-state recognition. With the return of these players to the squad, the Reseryes reached the peak of their form by trouncing four strong teams in & row. Among the teams defeated are the Hartford Evening High, Connecticut and Massachusetts Evening High champs, and the Meriden National Guards (score 41 to 13) a team, with a strengthened lincup, is now play- ing the Endees for the Meriden city champiénshlp. Three wins are held over the Fagles of Meriden. This team is leading the Meriden Junior lcague and has not mect defeat this year by any team but the National |Guard Reserves. According to Meriden advices, the Reserves because of their snappy. playing are the most popular junior team to perform there this year, ®o games, both in Meriden, are in pros- pect.
