Being Forced to Cure
Big Hitting AiIment
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Bobby Estalella, Washington i'm
portation from Cuba. is learning his
major league batting lessons the
hard, but most effective way, in the
Judgment handed down by Clark
Griffith. prexy of the club.
If opposing pitchers continue to
feed the little Cuban their curve
balls, Griffith said, they will have
helped Estalella to overcome his
greatest batting weakness and be-
come one of the American League S
best all-around hitters.
Bobby has caused his teammates
to marvel and enemy pitchers to
swear at the power of his drives
when he slams a fast, straight ball
across the field.
Bobby, who is a scant 5la feet
has his greatest assets in his massive
wrists, chunky body and courageous
nature, they said.
The little Cuban is regarded as
fast becoming an outstanding out
fielder, although he came to Wash
lngton as third baseman.
He plays the toughest territory
in all big-league baseball-the sunny
leftfleld of Griffith Stadium.
Despite the squint acquired through
long hours of playing in the bright
Cuban sunshine, Bobby has to wear
dark glasses to play his position on
the home field. and that's half of
Estalellas s working hours.

Kay Stamnners
In Final Tilt
LengIen-Moody Class
Is Reached by U. S.
Girl, Critics Say
BY SCOTTY RESTON,

WIMBLEDON, England, July T.
Britain's Kay Stammers will have a
game of tennis with Alice Marble
of San Francisco for the Wimble-
dons championship tomorrow after
noon-and if Kay wins it will be
the biggest British surprise since
Waterloo.
British hearts naturally are set
on Katy winning, but their shillings
are on Alice. Mathematical maniacs
have estimated that Miss Marble is
a 2-1 favorite, and even at that
Marbles bargain.
At the moment, Miss Stammers
is to Miss Marble what the Phila-
delphia Athletics are to the New
York Yankees. They're in the same
league and that's about all.
It's true that a year ago in the
Wightman Cup matches Stammers
beat Marble, but Alice got even in
the United States championships at
Forest Hills last fall. and even that
wasn't the Marble we're seeing over
here now.
New Marble Looks Invincible.
This new Marble looks invincible.
She undoubtedly has the greatest
service in women's tennis-a whis-
ting first one and a second one
that kicks high to the backhand
She has greater speed of foot and
stroke than any one in the tour
nament and her volley is a positive
menace to human life.
But beyond these she has de-
veloped a sound defense and she
can control her nerves
l had talk with Eleanor Ten
nant, her coach, and she stressed
these things.
When Helen Jacobs beat Alice
here last year I took her home and
worked for six months on her de-
fense alone. Now she's got it, and
as a result she's a more complete
player
Another thing is that Alice is
only getting over an illness that put
her out of tennis from 1884 to 1887.
In 1897 she had recovered phys
ically, but it has taken these extra
two years to get her nerves padded
we'll enough to Withstand any cham
pionship emergency" her coach said.
Nears Womens Peak.
Miss Tenant naturally is jubilant
over the form Alice displayed yester-
day in beating Nine Hilda Sperling
of Denmark with the loss of only IA
points.
Seriously. that was the greatest
exhibition of tennis I've ever seen
come off a womans racket. l never
before have even mentioned any
other player in the same breath with
Suzanne Lenglen. but I'm convinced
from watching Alice yesterday that
she's now starting an era in which
she will play tennis comparable with
the best Suzanne produced" Miss
Tenant said.
This opinion is not much more en-
thusiastic than those of other critics.
For two years the experts over here
have been saying that Marble some
day would suddenly break through
into the Lenglen- Moody class. They
believe now she has done it.

Back Griffith's Plan to Play
Long LampIight Schedule

Of 10000 is expected when the YAM
KEGS invade Cleveland for a night
game. The Yankees also are listed
TO clash with the White Sox at Chi
cago in night game this year.
Griffith will refuse to install lights
at Griffith Stadium for seven games
a year, the present limit. but Bar
row will insist on standing pat at
that figure. It looms as an inter-
esting battle. with both factions re-
garded as willing warriors.
The argument that night baseball
hampers hitters may or may not be
considered seriously at the meeting.
Barrow may raise a rumpus about
that, since the AS Henry Pippen
trimmed the Yankees on four hits
in their night game here, but the
opposition has a counter point in
that Pippen also hurled four-hit ball
against the Yankees in a day game,
losing 10 on Tommy Heinrich S

PHILADELPHIA, July Might
baseball, along with such items as
the horseless carriage and talking
pictures, appears destined to linger
on the national scene for a pro-
longed period. How much of boon
it will be to the electrical era, how
ever, may be settled within week.
Creating considerable commotion
among baSeball's more conservative
element is the proposal of the Mats
prexy, Clark Griffith, to play two
months in the moonlight league five
nights a week, plan which will be
presented informally when club
owners convene at New York on
Tuesday for the annual All-Star
game
Calculated to overshadow that
All-Star engagement. at least in it's
significance to baseballs future, is
the club owners confab. While no
definite announcement is antici-
pated from the informal gathering,
Griffith expects to obtain an inkling
Of how his plan will fare when sub
jected to vote at the annual WIN
ter meeting in December.
Considered something of a drastic
measure when announced, Griff's
proposal has caught on in fashion,
able quarters. The Sporting News,
baseball's bible, editorially has in
dorsed his idea. An average crowd
of 16,467 at six night games here
hardly has harmed the chances of
his plan meeting a favorable recep-
ton.
Draw 1892 Fans After Six Losses.
More than $1,000 customers poured
into Clevelands Municipal Stadium
last month to witness the first night
game there, but crowds here have
offered prime point for Griff's
arguments. The seventh-place Ath-
letics have continued to entice siza-
BILE crowds at night, turning 1882
fans here last night as they wal
loped the Mats, 9-3 That was an
extremely gratifying showing, for
Philadelphia had been spanked in
six consecutive games.
The Yankees Ed Barrow remains
bitter foe of night baseball, but
most folk feel his chief objection is
centered around the fact that YAM
kee Stadium represents the most
difficult of all parks to light. 1t is
estimated that fioodlights there
would necessitate an expenditure of
at least $250,O00, whereas Shibe
Parks equipment here, considered
the finest in the world, cost $108, 900.
Barrow, though, appears incon-
sistent in that the Yankees will play
and profit tremendously from night
games abroad. New York played

Argentine Golf

BY DREW MIDDLETON,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

ST. ANDREWS, July 7-Just ban
ish from your mind that idea of the
Argentine filled with gauchos, tango
dancers and polo players.
Take it from Martin Pose, "Eet is
all golf" now.
Pose, who has made the biggest
noise in the British open of any
South American golfer since Jurado
missed the title by stroke in 1881,
is the kind of a pro to make the
game go anywhere
| He is %, has shoulders like dock
hand, and his fellow Argentines will
tell you he ''Ees kind of felIa would
rather golf than eat"
He is the pro at Ituzaingo, which
isn't some exotic dish, but a snooty
club in Argentina where the mem
bers think their pro, who used to
be their caddie, is the greatest man
in the world.
Plugged to Reach Peak.
When you can divert Martins at
tention from his evangelical work
about golf in South America he will
tell you:
He was a caddie for eight years
and "all the time I play. I get
good, you know, but something is
missing. So 1 get job as assistant
pro. Eet is not too hard job and I
practice. I practice plainly. I get
my swing so she is like now-long
and smooth.
"Eet is hard, too. for I do not
have mooch money. But pretty
soon I get confidence and I enter
my first open. I qualify and do
pretty good. So I say to myself
Martin, it is time to get serious
Here am"
Last night after he came in he
was showing an old Scotsman how
he played his irons. The Scotsman
hit couple of beauties after it was
over and Martin said. See, I can
teach pretty good, too
Argentina Takes to Game.
I'VE are doing good work at
home. Kids play golf now all the
time. In l0-l5 years we will have
as good golfers as here or in the
United States. I think I will have,
what you say, an oar in who wins
the tournaments" said Martin, mix
ing his sports metaphors.
Richard Burton, a Britisher, held
the half way lead in the tourney
with l42, as only Johnny Bulla re-
manned of the American threat.
Bulla was at 148, six off the pace.
Pose was a stroke behind Burton;
Jock Fallon, virtual unknown. was
third at l44 and at 145 were
handful of British Empire shot
makers, among them Bobby Locke,
