The greatest disturbance since the

The greatest disturbance since the organization started occurred Friday night when the heavy favOritc the Street Department lost two games to J. E. Smith and Company. It was a great battle from start to finish. Everyone of note was present, the North End Y being jammcd to the raftcrs with rabid fans cheering their fayOritcs on. The crowd itself re- sembled any Army and Navy game. There were about three hundred present, among who we recognized Miss Margaret Moriarty. Miss Marie IABlanc, Miss Catherine Moran, Miss Julia BriOdy, Miss Mary Brickel and host of others. It sure- ly was a great game. Bat to get back to the game itself, Jim Mulhcrn was the star of the evening, hitting 3SO which in my opinion is some pretty classy bowling. John ROZum with his red bowling shirt on had all of the weaker sex roofing for him and he Harvey who Is coach of Smiths and lead or man started of with a
 strike and spare and took the heart right out of their opponents. Harvey seems to have lost that quaint stance of his, but 1t did not take anything away from his bowling for he surc- Iy was hitting the pins. Jack Scully was right there in the pinch for cvcrytimc they needed q mark, John was sure to come through. Hcnnie Minicucci, their handsome captain was way off form due 10 ali the att tcntion he was paying to some girl who was cheering for his team. The Street Department bOwlcd away be- low their form and all the encourage ment from the cheering section was of no avail. Ex Senator Peter LawlOr was the hero of the night for them. coming through with a double spare i'm the last two frames to win the game. Jack Delaney could not get going at all for his mind was on the biddies down on the farm. The cheer ing was a little to much for Frank Shcchy. Cookie Shea and Tato Ryan, but the boys say that things will be different the next time.
 The Waterbury Mattress COmapny come through with three games and Jack Mikit was all smiles after the game for that put them right back in the race again. Jack and his team mates have visions of first prize and we can't blame them much for that.

LAWRENCE TELLS WHY HE NOW

empire on its shifting political
sands. has broken a silence of
eight years 10 tell why he waved
aside honor and glory, to sink
his identity beneath the tunic of
a private soldier.
Today. from his own lips. the
United Press is able to give his
answer to a riddle of eight years
the reason why this man,
whose Kingdom" stretched from
the Red Sea to the Persian gulf,
from Aleppo 10 Mocha. changed
his name and became a mecha-
mic In his majesty's air force.
Lawrence the unknown, his
bur0nos clad figure appearing
and disappearing like magic in
the tents of desert princes, is the
man who famed the flame of
Arab revolt. and welded i'm its
fire the engine that swept
Turkish rule from the land. To-
day he tells why, stunning til
ties and honors. he asks for
nothing but modest content

PLYMOUTH, Eng, April 20. tU.P)
Lawrence of Arabia" the most
mysterious figure that emerged
from the Great War, now serving
in the Royal Air Force as Aircrafts-
man T. E. Shaw. lifted today the
veil Of secrecy which has surround
ded his life during the past 10
years.
This man who, singlehanded,
raised the Arabs against the Turks,
changed the fate of the allies on
the Palestine war front, and for
whose body, dead Or alive, the
Turks offered $4,000 reward. told
for the first time why he gave up
the position which earned for him
the description ''uncrowned king of
Arabia" abandoned his rank of
colonel in the British army, refused
all titles. monetary rewards, deco
rations and honors, picked a new
name and enlisted in the Royal Air
force as private.
AS Colonel Lawrence during his
war in the desert, he had virtual
command of the entire Arab army.
Today. as Aircraftsman Shaw, he
must obey anyone above the rank
of an aircraftsman, first class, who
gives him orders.
During the war Lawrence was en-
trusted by the British government
at various times with huge sums in
gold which he apportioned as he
saw fit among the Arab chieftains
who fought his battles.
Now his pay is 30 cents day.
From this he saves small portion.
The rest he spends on gasoline for
his American-built speedboat, his
motorcycle, and for gramophone
records for what he calls his timed
music" supply.

which he had issued in the desert.
Lawrence was, in effect, "un-
crowned king of Arabia" Now he
lives in an army hut with 10 other
men. most of them air force me-
chanics. He sleeps on an olive green
/ iron army cot with a tough mattress
! of cocoanut fibre. He has five serv-
ice blankets and pair OF sheets
| to cover him. His pillow of the
same substance, is as tough as his
mattress. Above his cot is a green
steel locker. This generally con-
tains most of the owners "trea-

this mode of living. He explained
how it felt to be bounded by the

II am an archaeologist," he said,
but since my adventures in the
desert the parts which want to ex-
plore are banned territories to me.
I can't go to Egypt. The French
won't allow me through any of
their territory. Turkey won't have
me-"
He paused, smiled, then pointing
a finger at himself;
Look at me-" he said, Il am a
dangerous man."
He laughed at his own sarcastic
reference to his small stature.
Denies Injuries
They say l entered the r. A. F.
because of bad health! Some say
was 'riddled with bullets; others
say I was verging a nervous break
down after my experiences in the
desert. You can't become men,
ber of the r. A. F. if you are ply
sically or mentally unfit. I joined
the r. A. F. simply because l was
sick and tired of politics. / wanted
a Job at which I could work with
my hands, as I used to when con-
Quoted excavations.
Traditions in England made my
desire difficult to fulfill. Wher-
ever I went was expected to be-
come the head or one of the heads
of the firm. Nothing, you see, could
be good enough for Colonel Lawr-
ence. Once a colonel. always COL
onel. That a colonel should want
to do work generally considered to
be beneath what a colonel should
do was unthinkable.
In England, rank counts Tor
