Mighty Sure

Small for Catcher
• AND IF O'NEILL isn't re-
. tattled? Well, if an authority like
Steve thinks Myron is that good,
no doubt a successor will feel
about the same.
Ginsberg, a dead-pan lad of
21, looks small for a big-league
catcher. He stands 5 feet 10
inches and weighs 170 pounds,
hardly the size of a Bill Dickey
or Ernie Lombardi.
Yet his size should prove no
handicap, O'Neill said, recalling
that he himself weighed only 160
pounds when he caught his best
season in 1920.
• • •
Wide Ratting Stance
ANOTHER "peculiarity" of
Ginsberg is his batting stance
which is so wide that he is be-
ing dubbed a "left-handed Joe
DiMaggin," Myron cant clout
them as far as DiMaggio—but
has demonstrated he can hit 'ern
where they ain't.
Myron becomes the fourth
Jewish catcher ever to play in
the big-time, having been pre-
ceded by such well-known per-
formers as Johnny Kling, Harry
Danning and Moe Berg.
• • •
Rated as the Rest
KLING (born Kline) was an
outstanding receiver for the Chi-
cago Cubs early this century.
He was called "the matchless
Kling" and was rated by Connie
Mack as the greatest catcher in
baseball history, one who never
made a mistake. Kling died Feb.
1, 1947, at the age of 71.
Dinning was a powerhouse at
the plate for the New York Gi-
ants in the 1930's, and Moe Berg,
the erudite scholar, now a prac-
ticing attorney, played with many
major league teams.

A comprehensive study of the
i , pe•ations of the Jewish Voca-
tional Service, initiated five
weeks ago, is moving along to
completion, the Jewish Welfare
Federation reported. The inves-
tigation was precipitated by a
walkout of its entire professional
staff two months ago.
Following a meeting Thurs-
day of a joint committee of the
Federation and the Vocational
Service, Milton M. Maddin, com-
mittee chairman, announced that
a preliminary statement, filed as
an interim report, had been ap-
proved for submission to the -
Federation and to the agency.
The report includes a sum-
mary of changes already effected
in the operation of the agency,
Maddin said.
ABE J. GREENE was named
recently by the National Boxing
Association to the newly-created
position of commissioner for pro-
fessional boxing. This post is
similar to that held by A. B.
(Happy) Chandler in baseball.
Greene was president for the
past seven years of the NBA.

about Myron's baseball fortunes.
