Baseball is not only the national pastime of our country but the game of all nations. A perusal of the box scores of the various professional leagues makes interesting reading. Once upon a time Irish and Ger- man names predominated. While still figuring prominently, they form only a small part of the professional personnel. Recently I made comment on the fact that players of Hebrew birth were few and far between in the majors. Since the Jewish boys shine in many other sports, their failure to Eo over big in baseball has always been more or less of a mystery.

In big league circles the opinion prevails that big business has handi- capped players of Hebrew birth. To be a success as a player, it must be taken up almost as soon as the youngster is able to walk and throw. . * . Recently I received a very inter- esting letter on this subject. Com- ing from one of Hebrew birth, I am willing to accept it in part as final. Here it is: . * . Likes Sports.

"Instead he devotes an unusually large part of his time to his educa- tion, which is, perhaps, one of the ways of making money in the end. "However, the average American- born Jewish youngster has the same attitude for sports as the other Am- erican boys. Baseball fs the most popular of all. Basketball is a close second. "Drop around to the playgrounds in any city and you will find the Jewish boy well represented in every game that is being played." + . . - Now for the punch of the letter, the very best reason I have ever heard in explanation of the scarcity of the Hebrew in major league ball. » . . Parents Object. "The big reason for the scarcity of Jewish big leaguers is the strong parental objection to an athletic car- eer of the professional type, "The parents of the present Jew- ish generation of youngsters are for the most part folks who were born in Europe. They have different in- terests and ideas of recreation and think more highly of intellectual pursuits than indulgence in sports. "When the present generation of Jewish American-born youngsters becomes the adult generation, and being born in the country has an interest in the national game, then there will be no parental objection of the | The Galt Reporter has the following: He has secured one player and has been con- Local fans resent his tactics."
