Spur B. B. Aid to Israel

By FRANK BECKMAN

RUMORS HAVE it that Hank
Greenberg will be Big Chief
in the Cleveland. Indians' front
office when the 1949 season rolls
around.
The scuttlebut is based on
president Bill Veeck's alleged
desire to sell
h i s Western
Reserve hold-
ings and move
to another
American Lea-
gue pasture.
His customer,
Dan Daniel
points out in
Sporting News,
will undoubt-
Beckman
edly be v i c e-
president Greenberg.
Hank has long nourished a
hope to be controlling owner of
a baseball organization.
He already has sunk a half
million dollars into the Tribe, a
good investment if ever there
was one, and appears anxious to
shell out many more green-
backs.
Greenberg, Daniel says, has
the backing to purchase any big
league club. He is a personal
friend of a leading toy manu-
facturer, ,is the son-in-law of
wealthy Bernard Gimbel, and is
very well off in his own right.

Sid is Nemesis

rs,ao.,

HOW TO STOP Sid Luckman
will be the Detroit Lions' big-
gest problem when they tangle
with the Chicago Bears, Sunday
in the Windy City.
Luckman, the former Colum-
bia All-American, is on his way
to one of his best years in pro
fessional football.
And that's saying a lot when
you consider that Sid has passed
for 13,256 yards and 124 touch-
downs in his nine seasons of
National, League competition.
