Koufax: The Hero of the Perfect Game

Sandy Koufax is holding up four baseballs to symbolize his four
no-hitters. In the Sept. 9 game he struck out 14, walked none. He
exceeded the record for three no-hitters of previous years set by Bob
Feller, Cy Young and Larry Corcoran. Thus, on Sept. 9, Koufax set
27 Cubs down in order. But on Tuesday, Koufax lost to the Cubs and
to Bob Hendley who pitched a one-hitter against Koufax in the
sensational game on Sept. 9. In Tuesday's game, Koufax had three
strikeouts before he was taken out in the sixth inning — running up
his total of strikeouts for this season to 335 — 13 short of the all-
time record set by Bob Feller.

1 he Scholar

Born in Russia in 1823, Heilprin emi-
grated to Hungary and became a fighter
for freedom in the 1848 revolution. When
the revolution was suppressed, he was
forced to flee and emigrated to the
United States.
While earning a scant living as a
teacher, Heilprin made the acquaintance
of the editors of Appleton's New Ameri-
can Cyclopedia. Impressed by his learn-
ing, his photographic memory and his
knowledge of 12 languages, they offered
him the job of editor. In addition to writ-
ing many of the leading articles for the
Cyclopedia, Heilprin revised and edited
all historical, geographical and biograph-
ical items, an incredible feat when con-

Nation. He was the author of The Histor-
ical Poetry of the Ancient Hebrews. A
passionate advocate of liberty, he became
an outspoken foe of slavery. In this con - •
nection, he wrote scholarly articles re-
futing the view that slavery was justified
by the Old Testament.
When, after the pogroms of 1880,
thousands of Russian Jews emigrated,
the scholar became an organizer. Heil-
prin established Jewish agricultural col-
onies in New Jersey as well as in Kansas,
Oregon and the Dakotas. Largely through
his efforts the Hebrew Emigrant Society
came into being.
The outstanding non-theological Jew-
ish scholar in America in the nineteenth
century, Michael Heilprin died in 1892.
