A Boost for Israel Center Soloist • • 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. "Little Joe" may be reached by writing in care of the Toledo "Mudhens," Toledo, 0. 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.

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.

JWV 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.
