Our Athletes
By FitANK BECKMAN
FOR A TIRED, OLD man, Mr.
Henry Greenberg, who wears a
big number five on the back of
his. Detroit Tiger uniform, still
hits a mighty long ball.
Hank, who resembles Goliath's
brother in size,
went on a bril-
liant late sea-
son batting
splurge, to re-
fute the many
critics who said
he was washed
up.
Looking over
the 1946 base-
ball records, we
Beckman
find that'Green-
beg led the American League
both in home runs and runs bat-
ted in. His 44 circuit clouts were
second only to the 58 he blasted
in 1938.
In addition, the 127 men he
drove across home plate enabled
him to top highly-touted Ted Wil-
liams by four.
Almost all doubt about Ilank's
playing next season appears to
have vanished. Under the new
club owners' agreement to limit
pay cuts to not more than 25
per cent of what a player re-
ceived the previous year, Green-
berg should haul down about
$45,000 In 1947 if his salary is
cut.
And as they say in Bratislavia,
"that ain't hay."

THOSE WHO ATTEND the
Michigan-Army game at Ann Ar-
bor Saturday will see two Jewish
gridders in action . . . on oppos-
ing teams. Dan Dworsky, awkward
but powerful fullback who halls
from Sioux City, will wear the
Wolverine colors, while Russ Do-
holstein will fill in at one of the
tackle posts for the cadets. Russ
has a brother Bob playing with
the New York Giants.

BOWLERS IN THE North-
west Hebrew Congregation Men's
Club League have been hitting
the head pin with Joe Norris
preclision. High games record-
ed thus far are George Roth,
211; Sam Bicoll, 210; Dave Aa-
ron, 210; A. Schultz, 209, and
M. Shulman, 202. Dave Penner
leads bowlers with a 182 aver-
age, followed closely by Sam
Mager, 181, and Sam Bicoll, 180.

AL LEIDERMAN dropped in at
the Bowl-O-Drome recently for a
few practice games. Before he
left, he had striked and spared
for a 636 series, on games of 210,
203 and 223.
MARSHAL "BIGGIE" Goldberg
didn't play much in the Chicago
Cardinal's rout Sept. 30 of the
Detroit Lions, but Coach Jimmie
Congelman can still count on the
fleet-footed halfback for an of-
fensive spark. Goldberg, if you
will remember, won All-American
honors at Pittsburgh during the
golden era of Clark Shaunessey.
Pitt that year was the toast of the
nation.

BERNIE FRIEDMAN tells us
basketball prospects at Wayne
University are looking b et t e r.
Friedman, who played at DeWitt
Clinton High in New York before
coming to Highland Park Junior
College and subsequently to Wayne,
was one of four Jewish members
of the Tartar cage squad last
winter. The others were Abe Far-
ness, Ben Weinberg and Danny
Arnold. After six straight wins in
1945-46, the green and gold quintet
dropped 11 straight for a .353
average.

HARSH WORDS WERE ex- .
changed between prexy George
Halas of the Chicago Bears and
a rival professional football club
owner over Sid Luckman, Bear's
passing great. Seems the ex-
Columbia star was being lured
away from Hales' club with a
magnet covered with many more
greenbacks than the $15,000 he
now getts yearly.

GOODY ROSEN, New York
Giant's outfielder, has made up
with Eddie Stanky, Dodger second
baseman. They staged a post-mor-
tem of the Louis-Mauriello fight
with a two-minute bout of their
own during a game at the Polo
Grounds. When Brooklyn fans
threw an Eddie Stanky Day at
Ebbetts Field, Rosen appropriately
presented his fistic rival with a
pair of boxing gloves .

Detroit Jews
Married in Dachau

(Continued from page 1)
There was an organ and a fine
German tenor to sing "Because"
before the ceremony began, and
SS prisoner musicians to play the
wedding march.
The bride came walking down
the aisle on the arm of Col. How-
ard F. Bresce, a picture of ra-
diance in white. She carried a
bouquet of gladiolas and white
carnations and calla lillies — all
white as her beautiful parachute
gown and white lace veil.
A colonel down front in the
aisle seat—the senior army of-
flier present, rose and all the
audience rose with him and stood
throughout the short ceremony.
For many it was the first Jew-
ish ceremony that they had wit-
nessed.

HATREDS FORGOTTEN
FOR A MOMENT, all the guests
forget where they were, for a
moment they were all one, com-
panionable, warm hearted group
of people watching a beautiful and
solemn ceremony before God. Ha-
treds, conqueror, conquered, Ger-
man, Jew, Catholic and Protestant
—all were one. All were seated in
an assembly df people to watch
two people united.
Then came the awaited words:
"I now pronounce you man and
wife. God bless you and may you
be very, very happy for the rest
of your lives." "Mazel Tov."
Imagine, the word, 'Mazel Toy'
openly spoken at a wedding in
Camp Dachau. Then a feeling of
gayety and comradeship came
over the crowd. Everyone kissed
the bride and wished her happl-

music. GI's danced with officers
wives, fraulein with Yanks, civil.
tan with civilian and German with
German.
There were no barriers. As one
colonel said to the bride, "It is
good to see these people together
and have them realize that Ger-
mans, officers, GI's and civilians
can get together, have fun and
enjoy each other's company. Wr1

can and did openly disclaim
similar charges made by a mem-

quite clear that the Administra-

expressions of either man.

By these recent events the

will not give encouragement to
the implication that the State De-
partment is not doing what he
expressly bids it to do.

British Informed
of U. S. Support
LONDON (JTA)-Stressing that
the U. S. support of the Jewish
Agency plan of a "viable Jewish
state" in Palestine had been com-
municated to the British govern-
ment as early as August, a state-
ment Issued here by the Jewish
Agency office said that President
Truman's remarks cannot have
occasioned surprise in British of-
ficial circles, as has been indicated.
It challenged the accusation by
a Foreign Office spokesman that
Jewish non-participation in the
Palestine conference led to its
"adjournment," and said that Its
present talks with the govern-
ment are aimed at securing
Agency participation in the Lon-
don talks and easing the tension
in Palestine.
Representatives of the Agency
resumed their informal discussions
Tuesday morning, when they met
with Arthur Creech-Jones, who
was elevated to the colonial min-
istry last week-end to succeed
George Hall, who became first
Lord of the Admiralty. .
Our lights aren't poor, you say?
But are you sure? Lights can be very
deceptive. You can grow so accustomed
to a particular lamp that you won't
realize its light is tiring. You may not
notice it, but another lamp may glare
enough to make a youngster instinctively
squint—may cause headaches or even
harmful eyestrain.
There is one way, though, that you can
be certain about your lights. Ask an
Edison Home Service Advisor to call.
In a very few minutes, she will check
over your lamps and fixtures and make
