bands and orcheStras.
His Government position gave
him his evenings free and
checkers and chess, Mundelle soon
discovered, were just what he
wanted to fill up his spare time.
In the Capital only a few
months he defeated Red, the then
District checker champion, for the
title. He held the local title until
1905, when Charles Farquhar sue
ceeded him. Farquhar lost to F..
E. Potts in 1915, who gave way to
j. H. Barick in 1920. In 1890 e.
C. Dietrich annexed the crown
which he relinquished to Harry
Koff a couple Of months ago.
After Mundelle had established
himself as the ace of local move
and jump" men, he concentrated
on chess.
Creates Sensation
In 1894 shortly after joining the
Capital City Chess Club, he created
something of a sensation when he
won a game from the English
champion, j. o. Lee, during a 81
multaneous exhibition. However,
he reminisces humorously, his Cap
ital City Chess Club fellow-men-
bers soon discovered that the win
had been something of a fluke.

1884 form. With our larger
coaching staff we have been able
to devote more time than usual to
details in fundamental football.
Our blocking, .tackling, footwork,
use of hands on defense, passing

more precise and finished. All of
which makes for successful per-
formances when the season gets

well as subsequent oddities Of
the lads baseball life.
But, first, let's qualify Cam
bria to tell the story. Cambria.
the paloodeling president Of the
Albany Senators, which use
Harrisburg as a farm, both OF
which clubs Washington has
adopted as brooderies, was read
ing some Cuban newspapers
which come in his care in Bal
timore to Ysmael Morales, a
Cuban member Of the Albany
Senators.
Merely by Chance
Gazing through the sports
sheet, the observing Cambria
noticed a kid infielder by the
name Of Estalella with a bat
ting average Of .786 in the Plan
tation League, made up Of teams
which work in the sugar acres
operated by the Hershey con-
fectionery people.

a ticket to New York and SIS

Estalella, after much diff
Guilty with the immigration au-

had no regulation baseball

America, succeeded In getting
into this country after a diff

gust a year ago with the ship.

where his mother had knotted
1t.
Wrote to His Mother
The first thing Cambria had
the young Cuban do when he
arrived in New York was to sit
down and write his mother Of
his safe arrival.
Joe brought the stamp and
gave it to Roberto to stick on
the envelope, and motioned to
the mail box where 1t could be
posted.
Suddenly Roberto. q light
dawning in his sparkling brown
eyes, commenced to flap his
arms up and down after the
fashion Of an eagle.
Cambria thought to himself,
''WhAt does the kid want, nOw!"
Estalella continued the arm
exercise, pauSing at moments
to point to the mail box. and it
suddenly dawned on Cambria
that the young immigrant
wished his letter to go to Cuba
by air mail.
Cambria recites Of Estalella's
extreme courtesy in greeting
the ball players with whom he
came In contact during his first
days with Harrisburg and al.

tipped his hat IN true Castil-

players when passing them in

Thought shires Forgot
It seems that Art Shires.
Harrisburg manager, had to
do no little polishing up of
Roberto'S fielding. The kid did
about everything around third
base in q rather unorthodox
manner at first, and Shires
concentrated on correcting
Roberto's poor technique, etc.
For weeks Roberto, it seems
did nothing correctly. Every
thing he did was wrong, accord
ing to Shires who harped on the
boys faults so relentlessly that
the neopilite finally got the i'm
preston that Shires couldn't be
pleased.

We would rate them in this or

ing they are sure to see in the
world series. ,
Been Through Mill
We know what some Of them
can do because they've been
through the mill and what they
did once they may do again. A
scrappy ball player like Ernie Or.
SAITH is more likely to hit .318 as
he did in the world series last year
than his current $50 National
League average. And we have no
reason to suppose Jo-Jo White, de-
spite his current .249 mark, will
hit much more than the 100 he
got last year.
Day in and day out, the Giants
probably have the best all-around
outfield in baseball with the Cubs
only shade behind them.
All of them are fine fielders;
fast, blessed with strong, accurate
throwing arms and all are power.
full hitterS who can break up a
ball game at any time.
The Tigers and Cards are about
on a par in the field but the Cards
pack more punch at the plate.
Medwick and Orsatti are inclined
to be cratic and Goslin can't go
get 'em as he could several years
ago.
The Tigers would be handi,
capped more in playing at the
Giants Polo Grounds than they
would at either the Cardinal or
Cub parks, for the right and left
field walls are tricky to any player
not used to them. It's not unusual
for a new man to play singles into
doubles or triples off those slant
ing walls.
Pull HitterS
The Giant trio, being pull hit
tiers, also would have a correspond.
ing advantage with those near by
stands although Goose Goslin
would do all right for
himself.
A pitcher like Crowder or Auker
who can pull the strings on their
fast one and keep it low outside
might stop Mel OFT. And a pitcher
like Tommy Bridges, with the
best curve in the league, might
make life miserable for Hank
Leiber.
Bridges should be the most ef.
fective Tiger pitcher against
either Cub or Cardinal outfieldS,
and Auker the most successful
against the Giants. Hubbell,
and Dizzy Dean should
go best against the Tiger trio,
although pitcher like Schu.
macher, with a dead Sinker, prob
ably would make White moan in
nine languages.
Medwick or Lindstrom (forget
that .269) probably would do
more hitting than any Of the
others.
Yes, the National League must
be given the edge in the outfield,
but veil find something decidedly
different when we look at infie1dS
tomorrow.

Retail sales in Washington depart

per cent over the dollar business vol
ume in October 1884. in spite OF un-
usually mild weather which retarded
sales of wearing apparel to a con-
siderable degree, the Federal Reserve

in the entire district was only per
cent and per cent for the United
States.
Retail trade in Washington for the
first 10 months of this year was 15.2
per cent above the same period last
year, the reports add. This is far
ahead of the 7 per cent average of
the fifth district and per cent gain

cluding 529 department stores. Both
the october and l0-month compar-
isons show clearly that the trade de-
