I think I remember reading a similar story in the giant Steinbeck biography. But I thought in that version it was Steinbeck's birthday and the walking stick that Hemingway broke over his head had been a birthday present. And I think that version also said Steinbeck was ready to fight Hemingway and had to be restrained. Not sure which one is true, but both are interesting.
