He Only Can Throw.

I ATER on you ran across some Of
the 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 60
ing" During the game between
Havana and Almendares, Esty missed
a long drive that went for triple and
threw to the wrong base. The play
enabled Almendares to erase a 20
deficit and, eventually, win out by
b-2 score, thereby making Havana
finish last in the league.
At bat Bobby failed t. get ball
out Of the infield, although he beat
out . hit to shortstop.
Washington He Wants.
WHEN 1t was over you heard that
wv Estslella's throwing to the wrong
base ON that triple caused clubhouse
argument between him and Manager
Ohvares Of Havana. In the end Esta-
leila quit the Havana club, which still
has o few exhibition games to play.
Young Calvin Griffith may be inter-
ested in hearing Of the argument, in
esmuch 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 .llim at WASH
ington he can, with typical native en-
thusiasn, be talked into Chattanooga.
What do you theenk?" he asked.
IT 60 to Chattanooga, yes? Mother
year?" And when you told him Chat
tanooga was a good spot, far better
than Albany used to be, Bobby got
excited.
"Hokay, keed, I CO." he said, "but
Washington I want. Oh, boy E. Wash
tngton.'
You thought, a little sadly, that
Bobby isn't ever likely to play in
Washington again, IN spite of what
Grif says. He isn't an outflelder any
more than he's pitcher.

TERPS' RING COACH
TAUGHT c. i. MAN
Singular Rivalry to Mark
Dual Meet Saturday at
Ritchie Coliseum.
BY BURTON HAWKINS.

"HAT chubby little rufian in the
back Of the room Is going to
chuck an ink ball at the
i teachers 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
Tipping 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 f1stic knowledge through
his rival and stanch friend, Miller.
If Eddie connects, he will have
achieved perhaps tie most notable VIC
tory in Cardin clouting history-at
the expense of a man who has played
an important part in carving LaFond' &
career as o referee and coach.
Turns in Perfect Job.
IT WAS Miller who insisted that
LaFond, then a comparative novice
at oficiating, be appointed as q referee
by the District Boxing Commission
when boxing was legalized here. He
knew Eddie had the makings of a
nrst-class referee. but most important
he had implicit faith 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
l st May, which match, incidentally
was made by Miller. Eddie handled the
scrap so fawlessly 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 Have Even Chance.
HEINIE has been as closely meshed
with the ring game as the bucket
and canvas. BY LaFond's admission
Miller is the most informed person II
this sector on boxing and Eddie nat.
urslly did not hesitate to. turn to him
In quest Of additional boxing knowl.

many secrets, but II he did he'll chall

LaFond by no means is unfamiliar

when he was captain Of the FRS
Catholic University team. He has beer
coaching boxing since 1880, but ha.
tutored Cardinal freshman foot bal
teams since 1927, the year he wa.
graduated from the ranks as guard
Eddie has compiled rather nea'
record thus far in his coaching career
but the climax thus far would be
victory over Maryland and his teacher
He believes the Cards have an ever
chance Of turning the trick for him.
Miller, as a coach, is almost unique
His pre-bout forecasts are glowing

YES, Hank might look at home II

rather sensibly in figuring it's less Of

the outfield.
All of which seems to shove Rudy
York out of the Detroit picture at q
time when it seemed he finally would
make the grade as a major league.
York also Is employed as first base
man and has failed in trials with the
Tigers as a catcher and outfielder as
we'll as his present post. Last year,
however, he slammed out 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.

The Havana ball park, where the
Giants will start training at the end
o. 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 beautiful

faults that Bill Terry is likely to find
with the park.

IL The HaVanaS and the Almen-
1 | dares were playing in the final
- = game of the Cuban League
season 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 1885 season Clark
Griffith brought him from Albany to
play third base for Washington.
He slammed the ball far and wide
with 25-cent bat, played like 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
o weak-helding gent named Ossie
Bluege and kid called Buddy Lewis,
who is only the best infield rookie in
the American League. But Roberto
had color and the Washington Gus
toners loved him.
'Whassa Matter, That Greef?"
Nov he Is an outfielder and when
he came toward the Havana
bench at the end of an inning you
stopped him, said hello, and asked him
how he liked playing the outfield
Griff, you recall, gave up on him as
an inf1elder and commanded the AL
banys to play Bobby in the outheld.
And Bobby was carrying out orders
here in Cuba, where he's been play
ing four times 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. Now I get contract from
Chattanooga. Mother year, he say,
and cum back. dom sign Chatta-
nooga contract, unnerstan?' You tell
'em, Meester Greet, don sign, see!"
Bobby went back into the outf1eld
and made a nice catch of line drive
In the first inning. Maybe that's his
soot, you thought. Then he caught
o fly ball and again looked good.
