Alas, Poor Rosen
Switching to the American Lea-
gue, we find Albert Leonard
(Flip) Rosen decorating the
Cleveland bench while Kenny
Keltner goes on and on and on.
Since Rosen is a third baseman
by trade he is destined to wait
for the afternoon when, upon
leaping gaily from the dugout onto
the playing field, Keltner falls
flat on his face, his legs having
decided that they would rather
dangle under a poker table than
scamper around the hot corner.
Until that day, however, Flip's
activities will be confined to pre-
game batting practice.

Alas, Poor Ginsberg
FIRST THERE were two, then
there was one, and then there
were—? The Tigers came north
with a battery, but only the pit-
cher remains. Manager Robert
Rolfe decided that rather than
languish on the bench, Joe Gins-
berg would be better off with a
team where he could play every-
day.

Major Dan Ram, center, and Lt. Shulamith Weitz, right, of the
Israeli army, examine with great satisfaction a pledge to the
Allied Jewish Campaign which they know will be used in
rebuilding the Jewish State. Looking on are Mrs. Henry Wine-
man, left, a campaign chairman in the Women's Division, and
Stefan Ileym, novelist, who addressed a women's campaign
event.
ROBERT SIIULMAN, nine-
year-old pianist, will be one
of the artists at a Mozart Fes-
tival which will be staged at
the Jewish Center at 8:30 p.m.,
Monday, May 16. Other artists
include Wyn Garden, soprano,
Irving Rosengard, baritone,
and the Center orchestra un-
der the direction of Julius
Chajes. Admission is free.

Look, Ma, I'm Pitchin'
"BIG SAUL" Rogovin's ear ail-
ment prevented him from work-
ing as much as he should have in
Lakeland, but he came north
nevertheless. The Tiger manage-
ment has decided now that one
of their three rookie pitchers will
soon feel the ax.
The rookies are Lee Grissom,
Marlin Stuart and Rogovin. From
all indications, Grissom has the
inside track, so before long either .
Stuart or Rogovin will probably
be sent back for seasoning.

BULLETIN
By MITCHELL TENDLER
T THIS STAGE of the game it
seems that the sole Jewish
regular in the Majors this season
is going to be the New York
Giants' Sid Gordon.
After leading
the Grapefruit
League in home
runs with 14
Gordon opened
the regular sea-
son with circuit
blows in each of
the first two
games against
Brooklyn, a n d
appears headed
Tendler
for a big year at
third base for the Durochermen.

The other Jewish athlete in
the National League, Brooklyn's
Cal Abrams, is having a rather
difficult time of it. Down in Vero
Beach, Fla. Abrams hit exceed ,
lngly well. Together with his
speed and good defensive play,
the combination was sufficient to
win him a starting berth at the
Dodgers' left field spot.
Manager Burt Shotton
thought enough of the Brooklyn-
born youngster to put him in the
number one slot in the Dodger
batting order.
The Abrams of Vera Beach was
a far cry from the Abrams of
Ebbets Field. When his batting
average dipped below .100 after
the sixth Dodger game, Shotton
substituted Gene Hermanski.
