Beth Yehudah Leaders
BULLETIN
By FRANK BECKMAN
VIE DETROIT LIONS are
again counting a great deal
on Mery Pregulman to pull them
out of the doldrums of the Na-
tional Football League.
Mery was
one of the
best players
last year, but
it takes 11
good regulars
plus a plethora
of dependable
substitutes to
make a top-
notch team...
Detroit's
So,
poor showing.
Beckman
The story may be different
this season with the acquisition
of many outstanding performers.

Michigan All-American reported
at the Alma College training
site in wonderful condition,
weighing 230 pounds, 20 less
than his playing weight in 1947.

Promising Future
SAID ERNEST MEHL, Kansas
City sportswriter, "In the eyes of
. the Kansas City club officials, Al
(Flip) Rosen, who has played
third base for the Blues this sea-
son, has one unforgivable defect:
Hal belongs to the Cleveland or-
ganization.
"With that exception, however,
"Mehl continued, "they are will-
ing to concede that Flip, who
dominated the Texas League hit-
ting and base-running records
last year as a member of the
Oklahoma City team, has a
light major league future."

Eyes Records
MEHL'S STORY followed two
hectic days in which Al clouted
five consecutive homeruns, be-
lieved by everyone to be an
American Association record.
In the first game, Rosen came
to the plate five times, scoring
three runs on four hits, the last
three of which were homers.
The next evening he slammed
two more round-trippers on his
first two times up. During his
spree, he drove in 13 runs.
Currently batting .331 for the
No. 2 spot in the league, Al be-
came the first man in AA his-
tory to win both the 'hitting and
homerun titles in a single sea-
son.
