~Aco FERNANDEZ, who hailed from Havana
but now chirped timidly in New York
= City. looked down upon the emerald play
ing field of the Yankee Stadium and groaned.
"Is awful" he lamented. Simple awful"
Shirt-sleeved gentlemen on many sides. of
Paco snorted with disgust and tried to ignore
the one human fly in the ointment of an other
wise perfect afternoon. Paco's walls, frequent
and heartfelt, were all the more amazing be
cause the New York ball club was having
field day. Three of the opposing teams best
pitchers had already dropped their way to the
showers, and still the Yankee banage conti1-
ued 1t was baseball at its most bombastic
and Yankee rooters were savagely happy. Not
so Mr. Fernandez.
But Paco's gloom was not caused, as his
immediate neighbors believed, by any fond
ness for the visiting team. Actually he was ex-
ccssively anxious for the New Ynrk club to
swamp its opponent. The greater the victory.
the less chance of catastrophe descending
upon the muscular shoulders of Miguel Madu-
70, the Yankee shortstop - and, vigorously,
upon the far less muscular shoulders of Paco
himself
1t was Miguel who was the cause of Pacos
concern. Definitely Miguel was in slump.
While the other Yankees were gleefully riding
the ball to all corners of the lot, Miguel was
still struggling to get it out of the infield.
While his mates played errorless ball. Miguel
let blows through him that he normally could
have caught with his teeth.
Like Paco, Miguel was a Cuban He had
learned his baseball on the rock-flled lots OF
Havana, and had rapidly become one of the
stars in the fast-moving Cuban league. His
break had come just few months before, when
a midwinter trade had left the Yankees with
a gaping hole at shortstop.
Immediately upon his arrival in New York
as a regular member of the team, Miguel had
paid visit to Paoo.
He reminded him of the days when the two
of them had played ball together at Havana
University. When Paco let his guard drop long
enough to wax enthusiastic, Miguel asked
him for loan. Not much of loan, he said
Evening star., 1942-09-06

casually. Just couple of hundred dollars.
1.-TWO hundredr' Paoo howled. Don't be
estupid. am not financial typhoon!''
But Miguel had chosen his victim carefully.
He played UP the friendship angle, and talked
about Cuba until Paco was near to tears.
When he departed the two hundred dollars
went with him.
He promised to return the money within
a week, but at the end of that time Paco had
heard nothing At the end of two additional
weeks he still had heard nothing. Mr.. Fernan-
dez was growing desperate, for never in his life
had he been less able to spare two hundred
dollars.
In the first place, his sole reason for being in
New York was to make a good impression on
Grant Foster, whose importance lay in the
fact that he was the father of Lynn Foster.
For months, following her recent visit to
Havana Lynn had struggled valiantly to con-
vince her father that Paoo was most depend
able individual, thoroughly suitable as hus-
band and son-in-law. Grant Foster had finally
suggested that Lynn invite Paco to the States.
and he had promised to reserve judgment until
Paco had had fair chance to establish him.
self and prove that he was a serious, stable
person.
! HE only trouble was that Paoo was seldom
serious and never stable. Due to a bit of luck.
rather than his own personal efforts, he had
managed to make an initial favorable impress
sion on Lynn's father, but that was, he felt
sure, beginning to wear pretty thin. He still
hadn't found a reasonably permanent job.
and his task of keeping up front was daily
becoming more difficult, especially since Lynn
and her father had recently moved to New York
and were therefore in position to watch
Paco's progress or lack of it - IN detail.
Furthermore, the loss of two hundred dollars,
Evening star., 1942-09-06

Paoo thought it over. struggling to shut
Lynn's image out of his mind. Even date with
her couldn't be as important as this. Collect
ing from Miguel, he now knew, would be tough
enough anyway. If he lost his job with the
Yankees it would be impossible "An right"
he said. II do it."
Miguel squeezed into a phone booth and
devoted five minutes to building up headache
for the benefit of the strident feminine voice
which shrilled at him out of the receiver.
However. when Miguel stated that he was
sending friend - likewise Cuban - to take
his place, the voice softened.
Everything sci" Miguel reported when he
hung up. "Her name is Clarice Borden, and
she is blonde. give you her address. And
remember, Paco - tell her am the most won
derful man in the world"
Don't worry" Paoo said. when finish.
you and her will be like Romeo and Joliet"
But there was another far more delicate,
problem to be met first Lynn was a swell
scout, but Paco was none too certain that she
would permit him to break his date with her,
especially at such late hour.
He phoned her that he was on his way, and
then suffered as the subway bore him down.
town. He debated telling her the whole story,
including the fact that he was to have date
with another woman, and decided against it.
She might understand "a and then again she
might not.
He reached her apartment and found her
waiting for him. She smiled and said, Hi.
sweet. Did you bring kiss with you?"
It was very mild one, and she looked at
him quizzically. You're worried about some
thing What is it?''
He spread his hands. Our date for tonight.
1t is canceIlated"
] HE smile disappeared but she said, That's
all right, Paco, if it's important Has something
happened?"
He tried his best to explain, but the job was
a hopeless one. He could say that it was
matter of business, but beyond that point ne

'Of course you can go, honey. But why

to think that she might become angry with

even if only temporary, also meant that ne was
unable to spend much on Lynn herself. ana
this was the one thing Paoo couldn't take
The thought that he was unable to lavish her
with attention, as he had done the preceding
winter in Havana, was unbearable
And then, as the final clincher, Miguel had
begun to skid.
The slump had been under way for six days
now, and Paco had followed the course OF it
like an agitated mother hen. He realized with
a shudder that in the entire weeks play,
Miguel had hit safely exactly twice.
The significance Of this was sickeningly obvi-
Gus. Miguel hadn't been benched already SIM
ply because the Yankees were in desperate
need of shortstop, and they had to give
Miguel every possible chance. But Paco knew
that if Miguel didn't improve in hurry he
would be fafmed out to minor league club.
This in turn would mean that whatever chance
Paco still had of collecting his money would
virtually disappear.
In desperation, he had finally phoned
Migueps apartment He heard Miguel's "Qne

denly blew up.
