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. • • • , s i .. , „ 1 • t a s pLANS FOR A rally, designed to spur its donor luncheon, will be discussed by the Dewitt- went Ladies Auxiliary at a des- sert luncheon and meeting at 1 p. in., Thursday, in the home of Birdie Rosenberg, ticket chair- man, 3321 Oakman boulevard.

JWV BULLETIN By FRANK BECKMAN • "SI OOKS LIKE your son, My- 1 run, will be with the Tigers in a couple of years," we told Joe Ginsberg in the summer of '47.
