Sc Hudson was performing ad-
mirably, too, allowing only one hit
in his Ginning effort. Alexandra
Carrasquela finished up for the Mats,

earned off Clint Brown in the first

That vital run was produced
through the medium of double by

Hardin Cathery were to face the
Yankees here today, with the Mats

Meanwhile, Arnold Anderson, who

with the Mats until his draft board

Walsh, Crowley Aide,

To Join Navy. Likely
viii Toughen Flyers
BY HAROLD CLAASSEN.

NEW YORK, March 11..The
same system that brought Fordham
University 72 triumphs and only IA
defeats in nine years under Jim
Crowley will be continued with Earl
F. Walsh, big, smiling Iowan, at the
, helm.
Walsh was named acting coach of
the Rams last night. and Crowley
was given leave of absence to join
/ the Navy, where he probably will
aid in toughening flying cadets by
football methods.
The new Fordham boss was Crow
ley's chief scout and backfeld
coach during his nine-year tenure
and came to the Rose Hill institu-
ton after having spent a similar
period as head coach and athletic
director at Dowling College, then
the Des Moines Iowa Catholic
Academy.
After his graduation from Notre
Dame University, where he blocked
for the immortal George Gipp with
such laughing fury he won the nick
name of Mails" Walsh coached for
time at Winner IS. DakD High
School. There the star of his team
was Frank Leahy, present Notre
Dame mentor
Walsh is a native of Adair, Iowa,
the same general community that
produced Bob Feller of baseball
fame; Niles Kinnick, the University
of Iowa All-America back of two
years ago. and where Max Baer's
parents lived shortly before the
birth Of the former heavyweight
king.
The Rev. Ralph I. Cannon. Ford
ham president, said that Glen Car
berry, Ed Kosky, Nat Pierce and Ed
Franco, other assistants to Crowley,
would remain as WalSh'S aides. No
mention was made of the acting
head coach'S salary.
Crowley already has passed his
physical examinations, but the
actual date of his induction still is
not known.
During his nine years with the
Rams he had one unbeaten team,
that of 1887, although it was tied
by Georgia.

BY BURTON HAWKINS,
Star STAFF CnrrnspnnGent

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, March
ll-One of the more fantastic items
in connection with the Mats is the
resemblance of Roberto EStalella to
a major Lacquer third baseman. He
may be a complete fiZzle when the
1912 season is allowed to age a bit,
but right now the chunky Cuban
is solving one of WaShington'S
numerous problems.
Estalella has been regarded as the
third claimant to the Mats third
base job, with Stan Gale and Ossie
Bluege calculated to supersede him,
but if the colorful, enthusiastic Ro-
berto continues to conduct himself
in the style to which he has been
accustomed for the past two days
the Mats suddenly have been
stripped of all but few gross of their
deficiencies.
The guy has been no less than a
minor marvel. He is scooping half
hopperS out of the dust, he is Cov-
ering much of the State of Florida
in his zeal to snatch foul balls and
he is no bust with a bat in his
hands. In addition Mr.. Estalella is
displaying a noisy and welcome zest
to win.
Sank to Toledo Rating.
Five years ago when Estalella
came to the Mats as some sort of
raw recruit from the wilds of Cuba
he was touted as a third baseman.
1t was necessary for Buddy Lewis
to damage his throwing hand con-
siderably to save Bobby being beaned
by a line drive that year, when
Estalella demonstrated he pos
sessed color and little else.
Eventually, Estalella drifted to the
outfeld, where he displayed talent,
but not enough to offset his willing
ness to swing and miss curve balls.
He has been a $3.50 performer
among basebalrs elite, finally sink
ing to Toledo, where the Mats finally
gained title to him for the second
time.
Estalella was instructed to play
third base in the Cuban Winter
League. Why he neglected to do
so requires an interpreter to detect.
Anyway, he stuck to the outfield and
reported to the Mats several weeks
ago as a third baseman. There is
no rhyme nor reason to his passable
performances, perhaps, except to
explain the dark skinned fellow is
doing all right. He is doing more
than is expected of him and Cleve-
lands Tom Ferrick will confess that
at least one curve ball failed to fool
