Our Athletes

By FRANK BECKMAN

WE HAVE BEEN hearing a
great deal about Jewish fighters
in the news lately but very little
of it refers to men swinging pad-
ded gloves.
Time was, before the Nazis and
the double-crossing by perfidious
Albion, that
Jews were not
looked upon as
a people who
took up arms.
But that doesn't
mean we didn't
have fighters.
We had plenty
of them, and
good ones, too,
but they cone
Beckman
fined their bat-
tling to the boxing ring.
Twenty-two Jews have won
world championships. The first
titlist crowned under the Mar-
quis of Qthensbury rules was
the lightweight, Abe Attell, who
ascended his throne in 1908.
Other Jewish champions in.
eluded Kid Kaplan and Benny
Bass, featherweights; Abe Gold-
stein and Charley Rosenberg, ban-
tamweights; Izzy Schwartz, fly-
weight; "Al McCoy" and Ben
Jeby, middleweights; Maxie Rosen-
bloom, light heavyweight; and Max
Baer, heavyweight.
Barney Ross wasn't 'satisfied
with just one crown. He captured
three, featherweight, lightweight
and welterweight.

TWO WEEKS AGO, the boxing
world said its last goodby to
Benny Leonard, perhaps the great-
est champion, pound for pound,
the ring has ever produced.
Benny had spirit. While fighting
Lew Tendicr, another Jew, Leon-
ard was all but knocked out in
their first bout at Boyle's Thirty
Acres in New Jersey.
Benny took Tendler's best punch-
es and still laughed in his face.
The fight ended in a draw and
Leonard came back to trounce
Lew in a rematch.
How like Benny Leonard is the
spirit of the Palestine Resistance!

"IF THE ULTIMATE result of
the Hapoel soccer team's goodwill
tour is to help the establishment
of a great, free and unadulterated
Jewish Homeland in Palestine,
then it will be considered a com-
plete success," Barney Ross, sports
division chairman, said this week.
Over 60 labor organizations are
participating In the sale of tick-
ets for the opening game of the
tour Sunday at Yankee Stadium.
The goal of $50,000 has been
reached. Hapoel will play June 15
at the University of Detroit Sta-
dium.

HARRY FELDMAN, former New
York Giant, is now a dairy far-
mer in Arkansas.
Harry, if you will remember,
turned in his Giant uniform in
the spring of 1916, and jour-
neyed south of the border under
the spell of a lucrative Pasquel
offer.
Finding the Mexican League far
from his liking, Feldman decided
not to play there this year. He
has been banned from organized
baseball in the U. S. for five years
for jumping the Giants.

Meat Complaint
Group Is Named

plicit in the establishment of the
kosher meat price committee may
presage reductions and assure
elimination of any abuses brought
to its attention by consumers.
PRICES EXPLAINED
Numerous complaints about the
high cost of kosher meat brought
the Council investigation original-
ly. Its committee checked and
found that some of the charges
were justified while others were
not.
Conferences with the butchers
and others in the trade revealed
why some Kosher cuts cost so
much while others are low in
price.
"It is possible to spend as little
as 10 cents per pound for certain
Kosher meats while others bring
$1,25 per pound, a Council state-
ment said. "This is largely due to
the law of supply and demand.
Jewish housewives demand the
choicest cuts, such as lamb chops
or calve's liver and ignore lamb
stewing meat or beef plate which
are cheaper than in non-Kosher
shops.
The Kosher butchers have ex-
pressed themselves as being wil-
ling to sell lamb chops for 50c per
pound if they could get a similar
price for lamb shank and neck.
DISPARITIES NOTED
One of the most serious ques-
tions uncovered by the investiga-
tion was the problem of different
prices for the same meats in dif-
ferent Kosher butcher shops. The
Kosher Butchers Association says
that most of its members adhere
to a maximum price list which
was recently put into effect and
it invites the public to notify the
Council office of the names of
violators who charge excessive
prices. The association promises
prompt action in such cases.
"A detailed report of the rea-
sons for the investigation, its
findings and the plan for dealing
with the problem is now in pre-
paration by the Council. It will be
released to the public In the Im-
mediate future."

immigration and also political non-
domination to the Arabs when the
Jews become a majority.
Our aim is to concentrate the
bulk of our people In Eretz
whereas Dr. Magnes would
limit the number of Jews to that
of Arabs.
Is it not clear today that only
when the Arab and'the Jew work
together—fight together to throw
feudalism and British imperialism
out of Palestine, only then can
Zionism move forward? In the
way of this cooperation stand the
terrorist gangs and the slogan
"Jewish State."
