BY FRANCIS STAN. 8t»ff Correspondent of The Sta*. HAVANA. Cuba. February 18.— The Havanas and the Almen dares were playing in the final game of the Cuban League teason and there was something about the left fielder of the Havanas that was familiar. He was a little round boy, brown as a coffee bean, and he had bowed legs like Hans Wagner's. When he yelled "Hokay, keed, hokay” to the colored boy who was pitching you knew, then and there, that you'd recognize Bobby Estalella in any land. You remember Roberto Estalella. Near the end of the 1935 season Clark Griffith brought him from Albany to play third base for Washington. He slammed' the ball far and wide with a 25-eent bat. played like a shoe maker on third base, and still con trived to so capture the fancy of Capital fans that people kept calling Griffith Stadium and asking if Es talella was going to play. At the time Washington also had a weak-fielding gent named Ossie Bluege and a kid called Buddy Lewis, who is only the best infield rookie in the American League. But Roberto had color and the Washington cus tomers loved him. "Whassa Matter, That Greef?” MOW he Is an outfielder and when “■ ' he came toward the Havana bench at the end of an Inning you etopped him, said hello, and asked him how he liked playing the outfield. Griff, you recall, gave up on him as an infielder and commanded the Al bany's to play Bobby in the outfield. And Bobby was carrying out orders here in Cuba, where he's been play ing four times a week for four months in a league that is a curious mixture of Cubans. American Negroes and class AA ball players from the States. “Wassa matter, that Greef?” asked Bobby. “He sen' me to Albany. Uno year, he say, and than cum back to Washington. ifow I get contract from Chattanooga. 'Nother year, he say, and cum back. I don’ sign Chatta nooga contract, unnerstan?’ You tell 'em, Meester Greef. I don’ sign, see!” Bobby went back into the outfield and made a nice catch of a line drive in the first inning. Maybe that’s his ■pot, you thought. Then he caught a fly ball and again looked good. Cubans “Can’t See” Bobby. «No HIT dees year.” explained ^ Bobby when he came back. “Bat .288. Fielding no good. too. Park too beeg.” He pointed to the left field fence, 498 feet from home plate. The Havana ball park, where the Giants will start training at the end or this month, is a tremendous affair. Nobody is capable of hitting a ball out of the park The dimensions would have defied Ruth at his best. The setting, with unbelievable structures and purple flowers lending a beautiful background, seems to atone for several fault* that Bill Terry is likely to find With the park. It is to your agent’s regret to report ♦hat Estalella is no great shucks as a ball player on this picturesque island. The natives speak well of him, per sonally. but as a ball player they fall to see him, not only as a potential major leaguer but as anything re sembling a stand-out among the Cubans. Not to Play Giants. «tpS-TA-YAY-YA?” queries the man behind the cigar counter. “Good heet on dumb peetchers, no field. Peetchers who t'row ball high get him out queeck.” Seigio Varone, sports editor of El Mundo, sits in the press box at the park and shares a like opinion. After the Giants open training, the best two teams in Cuba will be picked to play the National League cham pions in a series of exhibition games. When you asked if Bobby would play Varone shook his head. "They weel not choose heem. He do not field. He only heet and only When ball ees low.” He Only Can Throw, on you ran across some of me American players who help to form the four-team Cuban League. One was Jimmy Adair, who used to shortstop for the Cubs and Louisville and who now plays for Toledo. Another was Harry Davis, the for mer Detroit first baseman, who comes back with the Browns this year. ‘‘Bobby’s got no chance,” said Davis. "All he can do well is throw . . . and then he doesn’t know where it’s go ing.” During the game between Havana and Almendares, Esty missed a long drive that went for a triple and threw to the wrong base. The play enabled Almendares to erase a 2-0 deficit and, eventually, win out by a (-3 score, thereby making Havana finish last in the league. At bat Bobby failed tc get a ball Wit of the infield, although he beat out a hit to shortstop. Washington He Wants. YlfHEN it was over you heard that 1 Estalella’s throwing to the wrong base on that triple caused a club-house argument between him and Manager Olivares of Havana. In the end Esta lella quit the Havana club, which still bas a few exhibition games to play. Young Calvin Griffith may be inter ested in hearing of the argument, in asmuch as Olivares plays shortstop for Chattanooga and Esty Is slated to play right field this year. If Estalella cannot understand why “Greef” doesn't want «him at Wash ington he can. with typical native en thusiasm, be talked into Chattanooga. "What do you theenk?” he asked. “I go to Chattanooga, yes? ‘Nother year?" And when you told him Chat tanooga was a good spot, far better tljan Albany used to be, Bobby got excited. “Hokay, keed, I go,” he said, “but Washington I want. Oh, boy ... Wash ington.” You thought, a little sadly, that Bobby Isn’t ever likely to play in Washington again, in spite of what Griff aays. He isn’t an outfielder any more than he's a pitcher. - . » ) PROF. VS. PUPIL. —By JIM BERRYMAN. I /now EDDIE, ALL'VbU HAVE TO DO WHEN you , > TAKE SATURDAYS X TEST IS REMEMBER THESE LITTLE tm facts » j>y _ /YEAH, BUT IT'S >GONNA BE TOUGH TAKW* TH'EXAM From you \ PERSONALLY / KsJPROd^S • agp&sj ^FEREElMg i CQACHIKlft J PDHDTP First Base Is Only Spot \rUnl \rnpc for Greenberg, Says U Utui L Pilot Cochrane. BY BURTON HAWKINS. Mickey cochranes urge to . gamble perhaps has been quenched a bit by the Securi ties and Exchange Commis sion, for the Detroit pilot, after a sober second thought, has announced Hank Greenberg, whom he planned to convert into an outfielder, again will strut his elongated frame in the vicin ity of first base. Mickey, as he told the commission yesterday, is ahead oh his gambling thus far, and perhaps it is with a thought of remaining that way which prompts him to alter his previous plan of shifting the somewhat awkward Greenberg to the meadow. Somehow it is difficult to visualise Hank in the outfield. He never has been the personification of grace around first base, and it is significant that his left wrist twice has been fractured within a year. It isn’t al ways the other guy’s fault. Hank Not Streamlined. VES. Hank might look at home if ■*' they’re putting cows back in the pasture, but 210 pounds draped on a 6 foot 4 inch frame doesn’t exactly blend with Mickey’s idea of an out fielder. You wondered out loud if Hank would be a bit timid as a result of his two collisions. “No," countered the guy who never has moved an inch for any base runner, “I don’t be lieve Hank will be ‘runner shy.’" Mickey still is taking a distinct gam ble, however, by allowing Uie twice slapped wrist of Mr. Greenberg to suffer the wear and tear of first-baa ing. Then again, Mickey may reason rather sensibly in figuring it’s less of a risk that way than with Hank in the outfield. All of which seems to shove Rudy York out of the Detroit picture at a time when it seemed he finally would make the grade as a major league. York also is employed as a first base man and has failed in trials with the Tigers as a catcher and outfielder as well as his present post. Last year, however, he slammed out a rather neat batting figure in the American Association and this year he was to be given a more lengthy opportunity to display his diamond polish. York to Stick—Maybe. T>UDY, in Cochrane’s former plans, was to inherit Greenberg’s poet when Hank trotted to the outfield. It's all changed now, but York will be retained by the ‘Tigers and is rated by Mickey as "mighty powerful at the plate.” Maybe Mickey meant a blue plate, for it looks as though two bit dinners again are looming for Rudy. Goose Goslin, hugging 37, and A1 Simmons, not exactly a spry young fellow, will battle for the left field job, with Pete Pox, Jo-Jo White, Ger ald Walker and a young recruit, Chet Laabs, scrambling for center and right-field berths. Mickey would offer no opinion as to when Goslin and Simmons will split at the seams, but he didn’t seem overenthused at their possibilities of lasting through many more campaigns. Mickey hopes he will be able to catch at least 100 games and he looks as if he might do it. He says he is recov ered fully from the illness that floored him last season and Is back to his normal weight of 185 pounds. He readily admits that upon Greenberg and the pitching rests Detroit's hopes In the pennant light, which he figures to be much more hotly contested than last year.

CONTESTS ON TAP Terrapins Fight to Stay in Title Race, Schmarr Out for D. C. Record. DRAMATIC incidents surround both of the college basket ball games to be played at the University of Maryland and Catholic University gyms tonight, with the Washington and Lee and La 6alle College quints providing the opposition. Elimination from the annual South ern Conference tourney for the first time in history will be Maryland’s lot should it lose to W. and L., while Hermie Schmarr’s first field goal, or two foul tosses, will give C. U.'s great shot a new all-time scoring record for District college players. Generate Have Crack Center, 'T'ROUNCED by the Generals, 51-27, A at Lexington last month, Mary land's prospects are not bright. Wash ington and Lee invades with probably the best center in the conference, Bob Spessard, who tallied 25 points against the Old Liners in the first meeting. Boasting 197 points in 14 games, for an average of slightly better than 14 points per game, Schmarr is within 1 point of his record performance of last season, when he totaled 198 points in 17 games. Schmarr probably will set a still higher mark to shoot at before the season ends, C. U. having three more games to play after tonight. GONZAGAIS EAGER FOR TITLE TUSSLE Victor Over Eastern High Second Time, Prep Quint Wants City Crown. WICE conqueror of Eastern’s inter-high championship bound basketers and needing only another victory against St. John's tomorrow night to clinch the prep school title, Gonzaga's court men were willing to talk turkey today concerning a third game with Eastern for the official scholastic champion ship of the city, provided both come through, as expected, in their waning series. Proving its first victory over the Lincoln Parkers was no fluke, the Purple again defeated the Light Blue and White yesterday. 25-22, getting off to an early lead and staving off a counter rally which threatened to reverse the result of the first game. Thirteenth for Gonzaga. TT WAS the thirteenth victory in 14 starts for Gonzaga this season and a tribute to Coach Orrel Mitchell, who has so educated his boys in the zone defense that they are able to use it effectively after scrapping their own man-for-man defense, traditional with Purple teams. Only Tech has topped the Mitchell quint this season. Eastern staged a game come-back In the I street gym to overcome a 15-7 lead of Gonzaga at half-time, but after going ahead at 18-15, succumbed to a subsequent streak of the opposition. The latter came despite the loss of Jim Boyle on personal fouls, for Jerry Con nally, Boyle’s substitute, scored three points in the last quarter. Eastern, however, had Us own losses to take, both Lee Lusby and Russ Lombardy being ejected because of four fouls. Gonzaga G.P.Pts. Eastern. G.P.Pta.

BY BURTON HAWKINS. THAT chubby little ruffian in the back of the room is going to chuck an ink ball at the teacher’s head Saturday night when Catholic ■ University’s boxing team invades Maryland's bailiwick. Maybe that ink ball will smear the smiling face of Heinie Miller, Mary land coach, and maybe the boy on the flipping end will be spanked. The little rascal who figures on splattering Maryland's spotless ring record is Eddie LaFond, Catholic Uni versity mentor, who has absorbed much of his fistic knowledge through his rival and stanch fnen<j, Miller. If Eddie connects, he will have achieved perhaps t_ie most notable vic tory in Cardin 1 clouting history—at the expense of a man who has played an important part in carvipg LaFond * career as a referee and coach. Tarns in Perfect Job. IT WAS Miller who insisted that LaFond, then a comparative novice at officiating, be appointed as a referee by the District Boxing Commission when boxing was legalised here. He knew Eddie had the makings of a first-class referee, but most Important, he had implicit fsith in the fact that LaFond never could be ’‘reached’’ by gamblers. Eddie has vindicated that display of faith. In Washington’s only world championship fight, the Petey Sarron Freddy Miller featherweight brawl 1 at May, which match, incidentally, was made by Miller. Eddie handled the scrap so flawlessly that Edward Foster, then chairman of the National Boxing Association, commended him for what he termed a perfect Job of refereeing. Before Miller was appointed coach at Maryland, Eddie occasionally dropped over to his home to ask Heinie's advice and in general sop up some of the vast referee, matchmaker, promoter, sports editor, second, mana ger and fan. Thinks Cards Hare Even Chance. J-IEINIE has been as closely meshed with the ring game as the bucket and canvas. By LaPond’s admission, Miller is the most informed person in this sector on boxing and Eddie nat urally did not hesitate to turn to him in quest of additional boxing knowl edge. Perhaps Heinie divulged too many secret*, but if he did he’ll chalk it up to the furtherance of fighting and Miller, more than any one in Washington, is responsible for what ever place on the pugilistic map this city is spotted. LaPond by no means is unfamiliar with collegiate boxing, having been affiliated with the sport since 1924, when he was captain of the first Catholic University team. He has been coaching boxing since 1930, but has tutored Cardinal freshman foot ball teams since 1927, the year he was graduated from the ranks as a guard, Eddie has compiled a rather neat record thus far in his coaching career, but the climax thus far would be a victory over Maryland and his teacher. He believes the Cards have an even chance of turning the trick for him. Miller, as a coach, is almost unique. His pre-bout forecasts are glowing with confidence, which automatically expels him from membership in the Union of Pessimistic Coaches. The unusual bit of it, however, is that the Maryland team thus far has ful filled his predictions. He believes they will come through against C. U. NEW’N-STAR’ MARK NOW INGRAM’S GOAL Out to Break Borries’ Record of Five, Injured Bill Is Apt to Face Army Quint Special Dispatch to The Star. A NNAPOLIS, Md.. February 18 — Further injury to his loot, re ceived in practice yesterday, malcas It probable that Bill Ing-im will not have much part in the Army-Navy basket ball game to be played here Saturday. Ingram, a regu’ar guard, returned from the hospital Monday after an absence of more than two weeks. Bob Laney, a so .homore. who has been doing good work, particularly on the offensive, since Ingram was inca pacitated, is almost sure to start Sat urday, with Frank Shamer at the other guard. Every effort will be made, however, to get Ingram In a part of the game, even though briefly, particularly if Navy appears to be winning and “N-stars”- depend upon players taking part in the contest. Ingram has already won two of these highly prised Insignia for foot ball and base ball, and should he win another Saturday would strengthen his chance of passing the mark of live set by Buzz Borries, now a Naval Academy record. REGALS WHIP BOYS’ CLUB. With five former Eastern High stars in the line-up, the Regal Cloth iers defeated the Northeast Boys’ Club seniors, 43-31.

WATCHING the Yankees massacre the Giants 4ast October from a seat in the press box, Frankie Frisch was heard to remark: “Gosh. I'd pay money to manage this New York club." Frankie didn’t mean it literally, of course. Primarily It waa an exaggerated tribute to a great ball club. But, too, it gave an inkling of how a manager feels about the job held by Joe McCarthy. Marse Joe, highest, paid pilot in base ball, a a much envied gent and not only because his salary is $35,000 per year. Down in restful St. Petersburg, Fla.,<8 the Yankee manager well may look forward to a restful period of Spring training. His club was the best of the world last season. It won the American League pennant by 19 Vi games. In its mad dash to the top it left 30 broken or tied records in its wake. ' There is little, if anything, to be done to the Yankee club. Barring' holdout trouble the Ruppert rifles will parade to the post next April as they raced off the field last October with the deciding victory over the Giants. McCarthy’s club is set in the outfield, infield and battery departments. Oalv Few Changes Likely. /"\NLY two or three changes in the personnel of the squad are likely to take place and all of these will be minor ones. Ernie Koy, a graduate of the Newark farm, is likely to be retained as a substitute outfielder, re placing Bob Seeds, who was shipped to the International League in ex change. Bill Baker, a catcher from the same farm, may stick as tljird-string receiver, provided he beats out either Joe Glenn or Amdt Jorgens. Of the pitching newcomers, Steve Sandra, former Indian, seems most likely to win a Job. McCarthy should have no worries with his regular team. Tony Lazzeri's feat of playing 150 of the Yanks’ 154 games last year, all the while batting across 109 runs and holding up his end afield, probably did more to wipe away what worries the Yanks had than any other single item. If he can approach this performance this year the New Yorkers ought to repeat, although perhaps not by a 19*?-gaise margin. U>u Gehrig, of course, will play first base and Frankie Crosetti and Red Rolfe are sure of rounding out the Infield with Lazzeri. Even the infield reserves. Jack Saltxgaver and Don Heff ner, seem to have lodes on their old jobs. DiMag Faces “Second-Year” Test. J0E DIMAGGIO faces the tradi tional “second-year'’ test, but he appears to be too good a ball player to be affected. In fact. DiMag ought to better his sensational rookie sea son. George Selkirk, who drove across more than 100 of the 995 runs driven in by the Yanks, and Jake Powell will round out the regular outfield, leav ing Roy Johnson and Koy in reserve. Billy Dickey, naturally, will do the catching. Even with Lefty Gomez failing to function as of yore, the Yanks had the best pitching staff in the Amer ican League last year and It is not so susceptible to senility that Mc Carthy can expect much of a slump. Red Ruffing and Monte Pearson ought to be good for between 15 and 20 victories each, while Gomez, late In 1936, showed signs of returning to form. Bump Hadley could not win for Washington, but he registered 14 vic tories as against four defeats in 1938 and can be expected to score between 12 and 15 wins. Pat Malone prob ably pitched "over his head" to fin ish with 12-4. but he is a valuable re lief man and between this pair, Johnny Murphy. Johnny Broaca and Walter Brown of the Veterans. Mc Carthy Is well fixed for pitchers. Vito Tamulis and Kemp Wicker, both rookie southpaws, and Frank Makofskv, are out siders in the battle for slab berths. In all, the Yanks are likely to move into the mo6t thoroughly regulated, cut and dried training camp season of any club In the major leagues. Joe McCarthy is, Indeed, a most envied manager. GORSUCH CHURCH WINS. Gorsuch Church courtmen nosed out the Epiphany five, 21-18, last night. Walters, the wlnr.ers’ center, was the game's leading scorer with 10 points. Sports Program for D. C.
