Sigma Delta Rho Sorority
and B’nai B'rith Girls’ Chapter
No. 63 took the road to the
leadership of the J. C. C. Girls’
volleyball race Monday even-
ing by capturing two games
apiece. And these two clubs get
together next week at the Y.
W. C. A. in what promises to
be the most bitter-fought tussle .
ever staged.
The BBG’s worked in har-
mony in handing B’nai B’rith
Young Women losses of 16-14
and 15-9. The first game was
a real spine-chiller.
SDR had an easier time with
Theodore Herzl, winning by
scores of 15-6 and 15-9.

teams for their games. For Emanu El it
was their second sin, while last week Me-

to BBYM without a struggle.
Out of a league composed of six teams,
each with a rosier of at least 12 players,

out o fa scheduled nine have been played

INTERMEDIATE SEASON PLAGUED BY FORFEITS;
ONLYTHREE TEAMS REMAIN IN TITLE TUSSL
As the 1950 Intermediate season staggers into its fifth
week of activity, a shadow continues to plaque the path
of the six team circuit that threatens eventual ruin for
the once highly regarded league. For the second con-
secutive week, two games were completely wiped off the
Intermediate slate by the forfeit route, as BBYM "B"

or even to shame them into at least showing up for their
scheduled tilts. If to simply an appeal directed to those
players who have been causing these forfeits to consider
the teams and players who detest victory by that method
and earnestly desire to play, win, lose, or draw.

Al didn’t do much with the
lumber the week before against
M. M. Society, but his mates
hammered their way to a vic-
tory. His screaming two-ply wal-
lop brought in two of six tal-
lies in i big second inning against
B. I. C. Club in the season
opener. What else can one ex-
pect from a hurler who limited
the opposition only nine hits in
three games’
Freedman may not make it all
since he’s too generous
with free tickets to first base.
It would be a tremendous long
shot if he did, but he’s giving
it a whale of a try, and there
isn't a harder or more serious
worker in the city.

The J. C. C. Bowling League
race has tightened up like
dick’s hatband . . . and there
remains but six weeks to go.
We’re likely to have a photo
finish.
When Monday’s smoke had
cleared Recreation Palace the
Southern Importers were but
two games out of reach from
the fabulous Sterling Radio Pro
ducts. And Houston Lodge No.
1 of B’nai B’rith also put in a
bid for the title—six games out
of the top spot.
The remaining 24 games fa-
vors loop-leading Sterling all
the way. They have an easier
schedule, but in a handicap
league they can easily falter.
Sterling won 18 of 24 during
the final six weeks of the first
round, as did Houston Lodge,
but Southern Importers capped
17.
The Importers big test takes
place next week against Gard-

As was the case the week be-
fore, only one game was reeled
off out of the three game sched-
ule of May 4, with AZA 136
tripping Memorial Lodge 7-5.
Two triples and a single in the
fifth inning produced to AZA
tallies and proved the difference.
The AZA hats finally blossomed
forth for the first time this sea-
son, pounding Ray Kaufman for
nine base knocks with hard hit-
ting Fred Konig getting three
singles, and Arnold Goldstein,
Donnie Rosenfield, and Maynard
Gimble each collecting a three
bagger. Bob Schooler, Bernard
Bentch, and Leon Weiner shared
Memorial’s thee hits in the de-
feat, which dropped them into
undisputed possession of the
league cellar. AZA, by virtue of
the win, moved into a second-
place tie with Ideal Plumbing,
one full game behind pace set-
ting Sportsman.
In the individual statistics de-
partment, Freddie Konig, AZA
second sacker, and outfielder
Art Lipper of Sportsman share
the league batting league after
three weeks of play, each with
three hits in six official tries for
a solid 500. Bernard Leff, erst-
while Sportsman ace, sets the
pitching pace with two wins
against nary a loss.

An added treat for Hous-
ton’s sport fans was the an-
nouncement this week that the
M. M. Society is mapping plans
for a handball tournament some
time next month. It will be an
annual affair.
The. tourney, according to
chairman Dr. Nathan Cotlar,
will be reeled off in two divis-
ions — singles and doubles —
with merited trophies to the
champions and runner-up.
The M. M. Society is now ac-
cepting entries. Those interest-
ed are asked to contact Dr.
Cotlar at JA-6055 or PR-3611.

a group that has the spirit to
win,” said Levit.
The infield is near-perfect,
with Phil Heintz on first, Sam
Robinson at second, Mel Zeig-
finger at short and Hyme
Schnitzer at third.
Schnitzer, starring with B. I. C.
last year, has developed into a
hot corner man of near brilliant
proportions, and with him cover-
ing vast acres of ground plus
his terrific speed on the base
paths, the opposition more often
than not go into a sudden de-
cline. The crowd last week saw
that all too clearly. In the first
inning Schnitzer drove Bob
Hamilton, Rubin hurler, slightly
crazy with his waltzes around
the sacks and then capped Ham-
ilton’s embarrassment by stealing
home to the thunderous roar of
the crowd.
Zeigfinger continues to be one
of the solid figures in the line-
up. His early play wasn’t a de-
lusion and a snare. His fielding
seems to get more sensational in
each outing, made a couple of
plays that bore the stamp of
genius. He has a good pair of
hands and they get the ball away
quickly, can run like a frightened
fawn and his hitting indicates
they’ll supply enough power at
the plate.
Heintz has handled the initial
sack with ease, looked impressive
on every play and can be counted
on to boost the Levit stock. At
the moment he bats at the tail#
end of the batting line-up, but
