DETROIT JEWISH CHRONICLE
Our Athletes
By FRANK BR( KRAN
DAVE ABRAMSON, 20-year-
old Detroiter, is the latest Jew-
ish sandlotter to sign his name
to a big league contract.
Dave has shown considerable
promise as a catcher for Mans-
field in Class A and, of course,
his talents
haven't gone
unnoticed. Last
week he was
snatched up
by a St. Louis
Cardinal scout,
and is now
with Rochester
in the Interna-
Beckman
tional League.
Abramson played a lot of
shortstop for Wayne University
this spring and was one of the
Tartars leading hitters.

JUST ABOUT EVERY major
league team is trying to sign
up Mary Rothblatt, the south-
paw who pitched the University
of Illinois to the Big Nine title.
Rothblatt wolt nine games
this season and has lost only
one during his two years as the
Illinois' hurler. His most recent
effort was a one-hit, 1-0 shut-
out victory over the Detroit
Senators, a Negro team.

IF STANLEY BROWN makes
good with the Philadelphia War-
riors next' winter, he will be
the youngest performer in the
Basketball Association of Amer-
ica.
Not yet 18, Stanley was signed
by the BAA champions after a
brilliant year with the Phila-
delphia Sphas.
Detroit fans remember 6 ft.

tossed in 20 points against the
New York Renaissance at Olym-
pia in February.

UN Group Contacts Extremists
While Touring Old Jerusalem
JERUSALEM (JTA) — The
United Nations inquiry commit-
tee this week established in-
formal and unofficial contact
with representatives of the two
Jewish underground groups, the
Irgun Zvai Leumi awl the
Stern Group.
The contact with the Jewish
extremists was established while
the committee was touring the
Old City of Jerusalem. Two
Jews, one speaking for the
Irgun and the other represent-
ing the Sternists—both Ameri-
can citizens—met the UN dele-
gates and chatted with them in-
formally for some time. The
majority of the committee knew
beforehand that they would be
met by spokesmen of the dis-
sident Jewish groups.
ARABS CONTACTED
• Contact with the Arab Higher
Committee was also established,
through the secretariat of the
fact-finding body, with a view
to oxploring the possibilities of
the Arabs calling off their boy-
cott of the probe. Nothing is
known as yet as to the condi-
tions advanced by the Higher
Committee as its price for halt-
ing the boycott.
(The American Zionist Emer-
gency Council issued a state-
ment charging that the boycott
is "part of a carefully pre-
arranged and premeditated tact-
ical game, designed to maneuver
the United Nations into regard-
ing the Arab Higher Commit-
tee as a 'wronged' group, and
thus create an advantageous
position for the Arabs in the
meeting of the General Assem-
bly which is to take place in
September." The Council as-
serted that there is no diver-
gence of tactics between the
Higher Committee and the Arab
League, which is not participat-
ing the boycott.")
ASSAIL BRITISH
The extremists' memoranda
declared the refusal to accede
to the UN request for a truce
unless the Palestine government
ceases deporting visaless immi-
grants, stops street searches and
military activities and abolishes
military courts. The Irgun asked
the probers to intervene with
the government to halt such ac-
tivities.
—
The Sternists asserted that if
the occupying authorities evade
a response to the appeal of the
UN and continue to practice
cruel methods of repression, we
will be compelled to react to
such acts of provocation."
