 New York, Jan 3.-(UP)-Be- lieving a mans private affairs to be sacred, we tried to put the question as gently and subtly ns possible.
 "Ten us, Mister stoefen," we asked, "just why in the devil you turned pro?"
 The tall Californian, only few minutes off the century from Chi- cago, continued to yank things out of his suitcase.
 The question was repeated and Stoefen turned, an absent look on his face.
 Huh? I'm sorry. had my mind on something else. Say, how much is twelve anna half per cent of fifteen thousand bucks?" -..
 "A little under two thousand dollars. Why?"
 Business Man
 "He's figuring out his cut of the gate the night we open in the Gar den," George Lott answered. You see, figures bother Stoefen. One kind bothered him when he was an amateur, and now another kind Is bothering him as a pro-"
 The gentleman in the topcoat, who had been sitting on the bed, left the room.
 "Who is that fellow?" Stoefen asked.
 That's the advance man for our tour," Lott said. "He goes ahead about a week and getes everybody avaffa1 hu fa1linO toY,, unI,,t-n nnvo ing to town"
 "Does he get paid for it?" Stoe. fen asked in a voice deep with con- cern.
 Sure"
 "Oh my" sighed Stoefen. 'It cuts down my twelve anna half per cent. I wonder if we really need him."
 We finally got back around to our original question.
 'I turned pro-" Stoefen said because I had too much of the honor and glory and frills and flapdoodle that goes with amateur tennis, and too little of the old dough-de-dough."
 How did he think he'd go in- doors, and against such compe- tit1on as T1lden and Vines!
 "I don't see why I shouldn't be superb, terrific and devastat- ing. How's that? That's the way pro oughta talk, isn't it. Seri- ously though, I like the indoors You know I never played better than I did in winning the indoor championship from Greg Mangin last year. Of course, if Vines is playing like they say he is, hell probably clean me up in singles at first. l don't know about Til den. I never played the old man but I'm looking forward to taking crack at him."
 What did he think of their chances in the doubles against Tilden and Vines?
 "Well, we may have a little trou- tle, because I'll probably have tC carry Lott along. He's get ting to be an old man, you know

LADY OF LOURDES BOWLING NOTES

The fifth place Dartmouth team accept the challenge of the first place Princeton team for Sunday afternoon. The Princeton boys readily admit that they are the class of the league but they will know that the Dartmouth team means business after Sundays game.
 Any other team wishing to chal- lengc the Princeton team in a match game independent of the league can make arrangements with Big Jim Lom bardi, self-styled manager and coach of the Prince ton team.
 The Absentee list remained normal with but three snames on it. namely Al DiFronzo, Rocco Pomponio, and last but not least, the great and only Louie Fernucci Orazio Gustavo, Race Tracq Louie" Piedmonte. Sure Louie has been in Saratoga. Can't you tell?
 The famous Notre Dame team still complaining through their captain, Foxxy Febo Guarini, that their team is playing in hard luck.
 Jerry Capobianco and Pop Mango trying to kid their oppo- nents, but missing the spare leaves themselves. The league leading Princeton team with Father Nadile as anchor are going places right now, but we understand that they are warm weather bowlers. Loop- ing Lupino and Chappy Cecilio are still the mainstays, however.
 The Army boys with Mike Di- Fronzo in the anchor position arc always threatening and don't be surprised if they finish up on top if the boys don't get running up- stairs to get something on "Tap'.
 The great Harvard team for once has q full team. and are the boys happy. Frank Manfredi and Lou Mucciaro had smiles a yard wide.
 The Penn team with Johnny Perrella, Jumping Joe Piazza D. Guerrero always complaining that they want q man but keep right on breaking records.
 The Yale team with Sad Sal Niele are causing a lot of trouble and If they can get Johnny Metz to show up will be in first place shortly.
 California, the cream of the league, with the Black Ace Gagli- one, What a Man Matty, No Neck Zack, Handsome Joe Sirni and Sol Cocchiola along with the leagues leading bowler, Lou Piedmonte, are handicapping all the team, but keep right on winning.
 Dartmouth and it's gang of stars are slipping bit but watch their smoke from now on. Seek Joe Genova and his disappearing hook expect to get going soon. Will someone ask certain A. J. what has happened to his bowling and why doesn't he get some practice?

ARROWS KEPT REDS AWAY FROM LEAD
 IN CANAAN LOOP
LOwly Philadelphia Team
 Beat Providence as Boston Also Lost
,(By United Press)

The second place Providence Reds lost a chance all but close the gap between t..em and the league-leading Boston Cubs when they journeyed to Philadelphia last night to be drubbed by the Arr rows while the Beavers were beat ing the Cubs at Quebec.
 Fists Flew
 Four goals in the first period, three of them in rapid succession, gave the Arrows a 4 to 1 lead which they successfully defended to finally triumph over the Reds by 6-3 score. A flint enlivened the encounter, Chris Speyer of the Reds getting a major penalty, and Doug Brennan, minor, as result.
 The Cubs lost out in a nip-and- tuck battle during which they twice tied with the Beavers. The fifinal score was 3-2, with the win ming tally coming in the last period whie Joe Jerwa, Cub ace, was languishing in the penalty box.

The first game was slow and one-sided all the way, Romeo and Guerrero be- ing the winners best bets, with Parasci and Angelo going good for the Highlanders. Nip and tuck play marked the second game which was tied 4 all at half time all the scoring coming in the final two periods with a 1919 count with two minutes to play. Spadola scored just before the game ended to tie the count after Collegians counted, but was pushed on the play, making the free throw and winning the game, with it, by a point. The Colonials were too strong for the Pilgrims in the final heat, Iacovino and Liech scoring 23 of the 37 points made by the winners. Briotti went well for the losers. Scores:

F LONDON, June %. - Great Bri-
tain faced the choice today of Civ
ing it's tacit approval to an Italian
war on Abyssinta or envisaging vir-
tual collapse of the League of Ma
tions
Italy's apparent determination to
declare war on the ancient Ethio-
plan empire, which shared the cul-
ture of Egypt and nearby Asia
when Europeans were barbarians
has brought about a diplomatic sit
uation whose developments have
almost incalculable possibilities.
Utmost pessimism is felt here re-
garding the Italian -Abyssinian Sit
uation. Anthony Eden, minister for
League of Nations affairs. is un-
derStood to have made a most
gloomy report to the cabinet of his
talks with Premier Benito Musso-
lini at Rome.
So serious is the Abyssinian sit
uation regarded that there is open
speculation whether the govern
ment, if it decides to back the
League of Nations against Italy,
will close the Suez canal, gateway
frmo the Mediterranean to the
east, and perhaps the worlds most
important waterway. Closure Of the
canal would force Italy to send its

down the west African coast,
around the Cape Of Good Hope and
up the Indian ocean and the Red
Sea to its bases of supply in its

lively that the powers are ready to
partition Abyssinia, awarding Italy
a protectorate over it and sharing
defined spheres of influence. But
reports are also that Italy is de-
termined to accept no peaceable
settlement of its dispute" with
the empire.
The league council meets August
25 and must consider the Abyssin-
ian appeals and protests against
Italy's policy.
If the government supports Italy
against Abyssinia and the smaller
nations, to whom the league is a
protector, public opinion in Great
Britain will be flouted.
This opinion at present is paci-
fistic and pro-league.
But if the government does not
support it it is probable the league
will take action which will cause
Italy to resign. This could we'll
cause the collapse of the league.
Japan has withdrawn. Germany
has withdrawn. The United States
is not a member. If Italy resigned
four of the seven dominant world
powers would be without represen-
tation.
Even more serious-becauSe there
would be hope of keeping the
league together until a better dip
lomatic day arrived-was the i'm
mediate probability that Italy
would be thrown toward Germany.
This is a matter which no one
contemplates without anxiety Dip
lomatically, Europe would be right
back where it was in 1914.
