Page Sixteen DETROIT JEWISH CHRONICLE OUR ATHLETES Thursday, May 12, 1919 JWV Chief Babb; Pushes Drive Bar, Mound, All . the Same to Silverman BULLETIN By MITCHELL TENDLER NO. 1 PITCHER on the staff of a ball club in the Internation- al League, just one jump from the majors, after only two years of organized ball, and a graduate lawyer to boot, that is a thumb- nail sketch of Aaron Silverman. The bespectacled righthander did a little hurl- ing for George Washington Uni- versity in 1944 but started his first real pitch- . ing with the Bi- i son's farm club, Williamsport of the Eastern Lea- ., gue, in 1946. Tendler t he early part of 1947 he was taken under the wing of Paul Richards, the Buffalo manager and former Tiger catcher. Richards sent Sil- verman back to Williamsport for seasoning, but recalled him in mid-season. • • • r- Chief Rabbi Isaac Ilalevi Ilerzog of Israel addressed a meeting of Detroit orthodox leaders Wed- nesday on behalf of the Allied Jewish Campaign. Above he is shown speaking at the "Salute to Israel" meeting of Bnai Brith UJA workers In New York. Left to right, Maurice Bisgyer, the Chief Rabbi, Lawrence White and S. Arthur Cal xon. Born in DP Camp Used in Relief FOR MOST of 1948, the pitching lawyer was used mainly in re- lief roles. Towards the end of the year, however, under the con- stant tutelage of the astute Richards, he became the • most effective hurler on the Bison staff. And so, in what is actually only his third year in organized ball, Silverman, who passed the Mary- land bar examinations last June, finds himself the top pitcher on a team just a curve, drop and an inshoot away from the major leagues. 12 TREArise ,•Tia porovir- MeNT or 7-441 /14OR4L QUALive - C . rwlogV COMNSONL1 Ay TMC luiHro4 1 .16tSr RANAQ(AuSTRIA• • 1 810- H594.) wft■TEEi. amtP to - Er- SECRETARy or 1-44e VIENNA JEWISH CONGREGATION - sp(MfAH ACTIVE PARTiciDANT IN THE • s., , • . *49 RADICAL-LIBERAL sevoLutiou• AS A MEMBER OP T-NE STUDENT t.E4hasi,v, s4ERE HE WAS WOUNDED HE WROTE A POEM -"DIE , uNNERSirkr' (THE. uNNERsITY) wHICH EXPRESSED THC IDEAS or 4348 To SUCH A DEGREE, THAT NINETEEN COMPOSERS SET MUSK co IT, AND r00,000 COPIES WERE cleCuLATED IN AUSTRIA MP WW1 Perched atop a crate is 2-year- old Marianne Weiss, born in a UP camp, who just arrived in the U.

Citing the booing of Abrams in the April 25 game, Parker com- mented, "It's tough enough for a rookie to. be breaking into thq majors in a strange city, but when he has to pass through this trying period with the hoots of home-town fans ringing in his ears, he can be pardoned for wishing We had been born in Kokomo, instead."

"Now, Mrs. Feitelbaum," one lady inquired. "And how do you like it here after moving up from the East Side?" "Fine, fine," the other lady re- plied. "We are so glad you like it here," others joined in. "But," said the first lady, "it's so smoky here shipsgoing by you know, one has a hard time keeping jewelry clean. "Now take me, ladies," she went on, "why, I have to change my jewelry every day. One day I wear my diamond lavaliere, the one with the 82 diamonds. The next day, that's dirty, so I wear my emerald broocs, the one that cost ;10,000. The third day I wear by pearls. . . . And what do you do about your jewels, Mrs. Feitelbaum?" she asked. "Me," replied Mrs. Feitelbaum, "Iim, I don't have to worry about washing my jewelry. Harry, that's my husband, told me that when my jewels get dirty I should just throw them away."
