It happens every spring.
"And the voice of the umpire
is heard in our land" . . .
The home run: "And Absa-
lom went in for a homer and
Abner was beaten." (II Sam.
16:22, 2:17; Hos. 3:2).
The umpire: "And all the
people shouted with a great
shout. Whether it be good or
bad, he shall not alter it." (Ez.

19th Century Inventor
AM' Hirsch Jaffe, a 19th cen-
tury Russian-Jewish scholar
and mathematician, although
never having attended secular
schools, worked out his own
system of Algebra without the
aid of textbooks when he was
barely out of his teens. In 1881
he invented a calculating ma-
chine which received honorable
mention at the Moscow exhibi-
tion that year.
Hebrew Corner
World Over, the magazine for
Jewish youth, has found a rich
source of baseball lore in, of
all places, the Bible. In honor
of the season opener Monday,
The Jewish News borrows the
passages borrowed from the
Old Testament:
The lineup: "Every man of
the Children of Israel shall
pitch by their fathers' houses;
every man with his own stand-
ard. (Num. 2:2).
The fumble: "Who can under-
stand errors?" (Ps: 19:13).
The fly ball: "He sent many
flies among them and they
caught every one!" (Ps. 78:45;
II Sam. 2:16).
The sacrifice play: "Amon
sacrificed and Noah went in."
(II Chron. 33:22; Gen. 7:7).
The player's girl friend:
"Rebekah came out with her
pitcher." (Gen. 24:15).
The visiting team: "Then the
Philistines went up and pitched
in Judah." (Judg. 15:19).
The manager: "Do I need
madmen, that you have brought
this fellow to
play?" (I Sam.
21:16).
The hit and
run: "They
ran as soon as he had stretched
out his hand." (Josh. 8:19).
Discoveries of
Judea Wilderness
In the excavations that were made
in the Judean Desert the letters of
Bar Kochba, the national hero, were
discovered.
Archeologists, students, members
of kibbutzim, citizens, volunteers
and military personnel participated
in the excavations.
The soldiers of Tzahal made path-
ways to the caves, arranged lighting
and supplied mine-detectors with the
help of which many articles of metal
were discovered.
..:In one of the caves in the Desert
of Judea a large jar made of cow-
hide was discovered. In the bottom
of the jar a bundle of papyri was
found. This was the first find of its
kind found in this country—a docu-
ment rolled up inside a container—
and so an expert in head surgery
was called in. from Hadassah", who,
with the help of delicate surgical in-
struments, took the document out
of its container. It was found that
these documents were the letters of
Bar-Kochba.
Now the scientific work began. The
skeletons and the skulls were hand-
ed over to the department of anat-
omy in Hadassah so as to determine
the age of the people. The remains
of the bones of animals were given
to the department of zoology of the
Hebrew University. The various kinds
of jars, sacks, threads, straw arti-
cles, were given to be examined by
the Ministry of Industry and Com-
merce.
The scrolls of skin were given
special attention, of course. They
were given to the only experts in
the country in the opening of ancient
scrolls and photographing them.
This was an operation in the dis-
covery of parts of the War of Bar-
Kochba which was a symbol of brav-
ery. This was the war of a small and
poor people who demanded the right
to live a life of freedom.
