 At no time was there a difference of more than a few pins between the both teams and the strain and ten- sion was noticed by the manner in whicI, every member tried to sweep the alleys free of pins.
 Captain StilSlius was his team $ shining satellite with $50, then came Spark Plug Glosky with SIS, Kan kal, 2S4, Druggist Bill Kenausis 2S2 and Aleksaitis who was subjected to much kidding by Butkus of the op- position did well to bowl 271.

Ice Arnauskas hit his old time stride and scattered those naples for a 3O5 score.

In the short space of six months both golf and tennis have seen their No. and No. 7 stars disappear from the amateur heavens. First 1t was George Won Elm, then Bobby Jones, then Bill Tilden. and only yesterday Francis T. Hunter. who's next?
 Surprise Move.
 Hunters decision to join Tilden's $ professional troupe under the direc- tion of Promoter Jack Curley came as a surprise, for less than d week wealthy newspaper publisher, open ly poo-poohed the idea. It is pre- stunned that the veteran New Rochelle star deserted the simon pure ranks out of friendship for Tilden. He intimated that such was the case in the opening paragraph of his statement which read:
 Tt is a source of much pleasure 10 me to make the announcement that l have joined Bill Tilden in his new enterprise. My tennis career during the past several years has been so closely linked with Bill, that in continuing with him I hardly feel that am making any change at all"
 For the last four years Hunter and Tilden have been inseparable partners on the courts.
 It was not until Hunter paired with Tilden in 1927 that he became one of the games really great play CTS. Unranked in 1924, '25 and '26, Hunter earned the No. 2 position in 1927 and held the berth through 1929.
 In Their Prime.
 In 1927 he made his debut as a Davis Cup player. pairing with Til den to defeat Jean Borotra and Jacques Brugnon of France. The pair also captured the national and Wimbledon doubles in 1927. He also Cup teams. Hunter reached the finals of the national singles in 1923 only to lose to Henri Cochet of France, and advanced the same dis tance a year later to lose to Tilden.
 Owing to business demands Hunter will not make the entire tour with Tilden but will confine his en- agreements to those matches in and around New York. The pro troupe opens in Madison Square Garden February IS with Tilden opposed to Karel Kozeluh in the feature match. Hunters opponent is as yet unnamed but in all probability will be Vincen. Richards.
 Some Collection.
 With Tilden, Kozeluh, Richards and Hunter in the fold, professional tenais boasts four of the most color full players in the world. Tilden. as everyone knows, has more "color" than Christmas necktie. and would draw crowd were he billed to do nothing more spectacular than play a game of solitaire.
 Kozeluh with his effortless grace and Richards with his sizzling vol ley, have proved themselves to be Hunter, known in tennis circles as the man who is never beaten until the last point is scored, is just the type of player to grip the attention of tennis galleries. Possessed of the most powerful fore hand stroke in the world and bound : less energy, Hunter will draw his share of the crowds.
