THE SOUTHERN JEWISH WEEKLY '

FERDINAND AND SID—THE
BULL AND THE MATADOR
The last we heard of him Sid
ney Franklin, the Brooklyn boy
turned matador, was corailing the
Cuban financiers to back him in
erecting a huge corrida down Ha
vana way. A corrida, you surely
remember, is the place where they
toss the bull. Well, the corrida
was built but the Cuban populace
j proved more interested in batting
averages than in bull throwing
and money the fans should have
spent on Franklin and his picador
circus they poured into the coffers
of the Cuban baseball magnates.
Result, Franklin came back to
Brooklyn.
The other day we met him in
Frank Buck’s jungleland at the
New York World’s Fair. He was
gazing at a gargantuan Indian
elephant with a sort of wistful
look in his eye. “Imagine,” said
the most popular matador in Am
erica, “they allow every Tom, Dick
and Harry to tease these elephants
and they won’t allow me to make
the bulls happy.”
Sid was very despondent. He
had conceived elaborate plans for
a corrida at the Fair in the shad
ow of the Perisphere. Maestro
Grover Whalen was enthusiastic
over the idea of such a colorful
spectacle with picadors, bandar
illeros, capes, swords and bulls.
But the A. S. P. C. A. had kayoed
the idea. Bulls were in the class
of Ferdinand and were meant to
smell flowers under cork trees.
Sid sw'ore on a stack of bibles
that his bull-throwing circus
would be a harmless one. No
bull would be killed . . . merely
tickled . . . and according to the
Jewish lad there’s nothing the
bulls like better. But again the
A. S. P. C. A. said nix.
And so the lad won his “C” at
Morningside heights, who was dis
covered in Mexico and idolized in
Spain, is heading for San Francis
co’s Treasure Island Fair. There
the A. S. P. C. A. will not trouble
his bull-tossing antics.
Incidentally, to these of you who
have never seen a bull fight and
to whom this entire story sounds
like bull—please remember that
Franklin is the only matador in
the world to have made the grand
circuit —Mexico, South America,
Cuba, Spain and Southern France
at SIO,OOO a performance. And
SIO,OOO is a lot of bull in any lan
guage.
And so we left Franklin still
gazing wistfully at Frank Buck’s
elephant. Looking at this short,
tanned, slim figure you would
hardly believe that he could ex
ecute the traditional maneuvres of
the corrida with such faultless
purity that he is rated tops in his
business. Yet, even as you and I,
he turned green the first time he
saw a bull gored down below the
Rio Grande. He promised to send
us a post-card of his corrida at
Treasure Island.
HANK PRUSOFF COMING
ALONG STRONG . . .
Not many weeks ago we told
you about the amazing comeback
of a young giant from the West
who has returned to the East,
scene of his first great conquests,
in search of new worlds to con
quer. The very fact that this
Jewish youngster from the
Coast—Seattle is his home town —
did come back Is the remarkable
story. His back was crushed; he
was given up for dead. When he
survived he was told he never
would walk again. When he be
gan to hobble, he was told not to
participate in athletics any more
. . .His most recent victory, how
ever was a decisive win over the
sixth ranking tennis player in
JEWS IN

hu Morris Weiner
America. You’ve probably read
about it . . . and every paper that
ran the story of Hank Prusoff’s
brilliant victory over Bitsy Grant
gave the 25-year-old Washington
boy double credit because of his
notable comeback.
“SOLD DOWN THE RIVER”
There may be but six or seven
Jewish youngsters cavorting., on
the diamonds of major league
baseball parks but there are ten
times that number in the many
minor associations of big league’s
subsidiaries. The clubs range
from the sand-lots to the Class
AA outfits in the International
circuits. And a careful check-up
with prexies Ford Frick and Will
Harrige as well as with Tony Ger
aghty of the St. Louis Sporting
News reveals that there are at
least four Jewish baseball players
in every organized league in the
minor circuits. Your old friends,
Goody Rosen, Fred Sington, Phil
Weintraub and Andy Cohen —cur-
rently out of the majors—are with
the Montreals, Louisville, Minne
apolis and Milwaukee respectively.
And Andy Cohen is manager of
the Milwaukee Millers. Milt Ga
latzer, who used to play for the
Cleveland Indians, is with Indian
apolis in the American Associa
tion. There are many others.
Here is a partial list of those sent
in by the staffs of the American
and National League as well as
the Sporting News . . .
Sid Gordon—Class B, Clinton,
Louisiana.
Hal Kramer—Troy, Florida.
Julius Rosenbaum Elizabeth
town, Appalachian League.
Morris Bergman, El Paso, Ari
zona-Texas League.
Frank Fuchs —South Boston, Bi-
State League.
Harvey Goldberg Johnstown,
Pennsylvania State Association.
Jack Stein —2b Milwaukee,
American Association.
Earl Roth —pitcher—Ohio State
League.
Ralph Sachs —Northeast Arkan
sas League.
Harry Weiss—Yankee Farm —
Georgia.
We have the names and posi
tions as well as club affiliations
and batting averages of another
eighty-three Jewish lads who are
all beset with the same idea—to
make the big leagues..... Some are
still high school kids Others are
fresh out of college (as a matter
of fact, they went to college solely
to play baseball—with hopes of
being scouted by a minor league
club). The big idea is to move
up in the baseball world with a fi-
