KENNEDY TO AGAIN
LEAD PRO TOSSERS

George. Marshall, president Of the
Washington professional basket ball
team Of the American League, an
nounced today the signing of Ray
Kennedy as manager for the third
consecutive season. Kennedy was
signed after tWo-day conference
He was given better CONTRACT.
Kennedy is optimistic over the
teams chances. IL believes that
with the three new men-Harry Ri
conda. guard Chick Passon. forward
and Stretch Meehan, center. secured
in trade after the close of the past
season. available, in addition to Rusty
Saunders, forward, and himself at
guard. the locals should have the
highest scoring combination in the
game and make the New York Gel
tics step briskly. The Gothamites
may be superior defensvely to
Washington. Marshall comedies but
he believes that WaShnCtOn's attack
will enable the locals to give the
CeItics the keenest opposition.
Saunders has been the leagues
leading scorer the past two seasons.
Passon was third last Winter. and
Kennedy was we'll up among the
leaders.
Mcehan and Riconda. while not par
ticularly heavy scorers. are fine of
fensiva men. Mcehan'S feet inches
gives him the top-off invariably, and
I:iconda is an exceptionally good
cutter and feeder.
In addition Washington will have
two highly capable substitutes in
Elmer Ripley. guard and forward,
and Jaze Chizmadia, center, who
broke in impressvely late last Winter.
Riconda. Passon and Meehan came
10 Washington from Philadelphia for
George Gl&ScGe. Teddy kearns and
lille Noss. N0ss has since been sold
TO Detroit, which will return TO the
league this season.
Kennedy is now rounding up his
players.
The league opens November 20. but
the Washington players will report
November /, and will train either
here or in ,.ew York. They will have
the advantage OF high-class opposition
if Gotham Is selected.

Father OF Many
Orphans Dies
At Douglas

| Douglas lost one of her most useful
and highly respected citizens yester-
| day when death claimed Jose +. Es-
| trada, who died at the family home,
338 Ninth street, at 1880 O'Clock Fri
day morning. He was proprietor of
| the Hotel Progresso, but was known
| as the foster father of more than 90
orphaned children.
Estrada was Sc years of age at the
time Of death and friends and rela-
tives estimated yesterday that during
the past 20 or 25 years Mr.. and Mrs.
Estrada have adopted and cared for
more than go orphaned children. At
the present time there are 16 child
ren in the home. They are all con-
sidered to be the children of deceased
and his wife although they are all
actually orphans.
Men and women throughout the
district who have been prominently
! identified with relief work and in the
assistance of destitute children paid
high tribute yesterday to this man
who worked quietly and steadily with
one aim, that aim, the striving after
better things for the orphans of the
district. The Estrada home has been
filled at all times for the past 20
years with boys and girls, all given
the best OF. care, the best of training
and every home influence.
No situation ever daunted deceased
when the welfare of some baby was
concerned. An instance is on record
that during an epidemic of influenza
a few years ago a family of seven
children were left without parental
care. The children, being small, wept
at the suggestion that they be separ
ated and the Estradas, rather than
witness the tears of the babies, took
five of them into their home without
comment, although at the time there
were already more than a dozen chill
dren in the household.
Estrada was not man of means.
It rather seems that he was man
who, having little, gave it in good
work and found it returned to him
multiplied, as there seemed never to
be time when there was not room
and means for the harboring Of one
more desolated infant. These children
have grown up through the years,
have married and made homes of their
own and more have been adopted to
take their places.
Among the tributes and comments
on this useful life has been heard men
ton that these children were not TAX
en- in to assist in the operation of the
hotel or other business enterprises, as
they were considered to be members
of the family, have always been made
to feel that they were, and regular
workmen and servants were always
hired to carry on the work
The man was a member of various
lodges and fraternal and charitable
institutions. He gave all that he
worthy causes in addition. His
friends may be numbered by the thou
sands and his loved ones are several
score.
