European peace moves. The new
Ethiopian note came on the eve
of the meeting Of the League
Council.
Italy, too, took part again in
the war of notes" with another
communication that ignored yes
terday's bombings and denied the
Ethiopian charge that Italian
forces bad invaded Ethiopia in
the Mt. MuSsa Ali sector between
Erlcrea, French Somaliland, and
Ethiopia.
The italian note, signed by
Fuliro Suvich, foreign undersecre-
tary, brought up again the vague
delineation of the Italo-Ethiopian
frontier. He said:
"The Italian government has
the honor to make known that,
aside from the fact that in the
region indicated, the frontier
between Eritrea and AOuSsa has
not yet been defined, no military
movements have occurred in
that region. The report in ques-
tiOn is unfOunded."
RETORT TO ITALY
The Ethiopian note was sent
by Bellaten Gueta Herouy, For
eign Minister. 1t said:
1--WE have received your tele-
gram, covering the cOmmunica-
tiOn from the Italian govern
ment.
"The Ethiopian government
notes the admission Of Italian
responsibility for the invasion
of the district Of Agame, the
bOmbardment of two open
towns, the massacre of women
and children, and the deStruc-
tiOn of a hospital bearing the
visible insignia Of the Red Cross.
and describing these attacks as
necessary measures Of defense
and interpreting the withdrawal
of our troops 80 kilOmeters as
strategic maneuyer.
SNUB AT PEACE CITED
"In reply to reiterated Ethi-
Opian demands for arbitration
and a pacific settlement since
December, 1884, Italy, who had
begun dispatching troops and
ornaments m August, 1884, only
intensified her warlike prepara-
tiOnS.
"ThroughOut the entire pro-
ceedings before the League
Council, she rejected all pro-
pOsals for a peaceful settlement.
To-day she Is beginning to
carry out her openly proclaimed
plans to conquer unarmed
Ethiopia.
ALOISI RETURNING
despite the definite brutality
of the Italian aggression, which
obliges the Ethiopian army to
defend its territory against the
invader, the Imperial Govern
ment hereby reiterates its firm
resolution to cooperate fully
with the Council within the
framework Of the Covenant Of
the League"
The Italian note was consid'

CABINET BACKS
LAVAL ON AID
TO BRITAIN
Policy Of Collaboration
In War Crisis Wins
Solid Support

PARIS, Oct. 4 GN.SO.-Pre-
mier Laval today won the unani.
nous support of the French cab
met on his policy Of collaboration
with Great Britain and the
League of Nations in the Italo-
Ethiopian war.
Although it was not specifically
stated in communique issued
following a five-hour crucial ses-
sion of the cabinet, it was gen.
orally presumed that the entire
French government approved
Frances giving Great Britain a
pledge Of naval support.
Britain has asked France If she
would aid her in the event Of an
attack upon her ships in the Med
iterranean-a question plainly re-
ferring to the possibility Of an
accidental clash between Italian
and British ships.
Situation Explained
The communique issued at the
close of the meeting said:
Premier Laval made q COM
pIete exposition Of the interna-
tiOnal situation, especially re-
garding the deliberations under
way at the League of Nations.
"He had the Council report
the terms of the reply Of the
French government to the re-
cent note from the British gov
ernment, and the Council was
In unanimous agreement with
the premier regarding the posi-
tiOn to be taken by France at
Geneva regarding the Italo-
Ethiopian question.
"They gave him their conf
dence regarding the conduct of
negotiations at the League"
The coumunique put an end to
rumors the government would
split on the issue.
Although it was not stated in
So many words, the communique
left no doubt that France and
Britain would work together at
Geneva in handling the Italo-
Ethiopian war.
The decision made by the cabi-
net was one Of the most crucial in
Frances entire postwar history,
and was expected to lead France
down a new pathway to a ne7a
alignment of European powers.
Government leaders were torn
between support of Britain and
League of Nations machinery and
support of Italy, an ally whose
bonds were strongly cemented only
last January in a meeting be-
tween Premier Laval and Premier
MuSSolini.

 Your correspondent is bit leery about his visit ito the playing fields of Harvard, for. the crimson's new coach, Dick Harlow, is 8 rabid ornithologist and would much ra- ther talk about birds and the eggs they lay, than off-tackle slants, laterals, and promising sophomores with a swing in their hips and a lift in, their legs.
 Your cor-the devil with that .'your correspondent business. It's too much, trouble. From now on I'm LAS I was preparing to say, that bird and egg situation at Har- yard worries me. What do you say to man who starts talking to you about birds? know but two birds by sight-English Sparrow and Bald Eagle. The sparrow is the lit tie Fellow, I believe. and as for eggs-I eat lem, not talk 'em. Fur thermore, understand that MT. Harlow not only talks about eggs, but trys to enlist your services in gathering them.
 Now, I've seen enough pictures of bird-egging to know that, for hazards, it's cross between noun tain climbing and diving for mo- ther of pearl in shark infested wa ters. As practiced by serious col lectors such as MT. Harlow, it's a far cry from the tree- climbing egg snatching you were told not to do when you were a barefoot boy. For some reason (many suspect plot on the part of the birds) desirable eggs are always laid in the most inaccessible places. Now if MT. liar low thinks that he is going to en- tice me, a sort of fattish sports writer, to tie a rope around my middle and go sliding, head first, down 8 cliff for an egg, he's crazy. Not as long as Childs furnishes a blonde doll to serve 'em on a plate, with strip of bacon curled around them. He isn't. s
 No, indeed, I'm going to Harvard, and all the other places, looking for football facts. want to know what they have and what they ex- pect. When I return bet you I'll have so much inside information on their plays and players. that when I make my picks for the opening games won't miss more than nineteen out of twenty.

44 HARRY (1RAYSON

New York.--With the Athletics so deep in red ink that the grand old die-hard, Connie Mack, is stumping the American League in the interests of night baseball, the venerable leader is expected to bail out the Philadelphia club and then some this fall by selling James Emeory Foxx, Roger Cra- mer, and Pinky Higgins to the im- mensely rich Boston Red Sox. That would be a fairly impor- tant deal.
 After seeing a pronounced lead dissipated by the New York Giants for the second straight season, Bill Terry may not even wait for the World Series to be concluded be- fore handing the faithful Phillies Roy Parmelee, Hughie Critz, Mark Koenig, and $50,O0O for Dolph Ca- milli and Curt Davis.
 There is no question but that young Thomas Austin Yawkey is .keenly disappointed with his fifth place Red Sox to whom the Hub patrons have remained so loyal. Joe Cronin realizes that the array will be even weaker in 1886 unless there are replacements.
 ''Wes Terrell and Bob Grove cant be expected to carry on again next year the way they have this season." says Cronin. Tt would be brutal to expect them to go out there and hurl winning ball day in and day out only to see us fail to bat In enough runs for them to win-especially Grove.
 Mack Paves Way
 For Bl0w-OR
 we need at least one great sluggre and at least one other good hitter. Why, just the other after noon we left 22 men on the bases in one game. STwenty-two! Im- agine! Just think what a Foxx, a Hank Greenberg, or a Lou Gehrig would have meant to us that day. It's been that way gall season. We're in the market. We'll talk business with anybody"
 | Gehrig and Grsenberg are not for sale at any price but, with the Athletics requiring ready cash and few in Philadelphia caring one way or the other, it is reasonable | to suspect that Yawkey, who is down to his last $3S,000, 900, will purchase Foxx. And in disposing Of his home-run hitter, Mack ] might just as well go ail the way

,ry For Little To-day WEI Pass Record OF Bobby Jones
BIG CALIFORNIAN
 IN U. 5. AMATEUR
 FINAL WITH EMERY
Champion Shooting for Fourth Straight Golf
 Title at Cleveland
By STUART CAMERON United Press Sports EditOrl

. OMAlGNA A EGS0 0ROkh1 H<AAh4OAD
 Cleveland, Sept. 14-(UP)-One step away from his fourth con- secutive record breaking title in Britain and America, Lawson Lit- tie today played Walter Emery in the final match of the United States amateur golf championship. Little has won the last two British amateurs and is defending champion in the current contest of drivers, mashies and putterse. When he successfully defended his British title at Muirfield he won his third major amateur title in succession. That was a world rec ord and today, if he beats Emery. he will have encompassed feat that escaped even the great Bobby Jones.
 The days developments may in. clude touch run for his goal or they might even include an Emery triumph. But as he teed off in the morning round today Little was 8 3-to-1 betting favorite, and, acc cording to expert opinion, the odds were far too short. If Emery beats Little he will haved rawn up even W1tIk LILO ASA0A0VOh WAV UCab ASoASA in the matter of supplying a res sounding sporting upset.
 Considered in the light of yes- terday's semi-finals a bet on Emery would seem foolhardy.
 Nothing to It
 Little's semi-final opponent was his good friend and present room- mate, Johnny Goodman, former open champ from Omaha. Emery's was Joe Lynch, the journeys dark horse from Boston. Little, beat- ing Goodman, stood off a chal- lenge which included a 32, four strokes under par, for the out nine of the afternoon round, and start- ed the home stretch on even terms. It so happened that Little won his first real contest in two years over the stretch of six holes-from the 18th to the 33rd where he rammed home a 2o-foot putt for a birdie three.
 Meantime Emery, who was four up at the end of the morning round, was five up going to the Little was even. It was lucky for EHIcTy JldI uc lldu LA1S UAS Sdoi- ion, for he skipped five strokes over par on the next six holes, and finally won out ingloriously by halving the 4-par 33rd in fives. Emery's performance on those last six holes robbed the final of much of it's glamour. Before the tourney started he was rated as one of the ten most likely to suc- ceed. He had a brilliant tourna- Mept record during the past two years, but his dropping finale on
 Friday the thirteenth, makes it seem likely that Little will com- plete a feat comparable to Bobby Jones grand slam of all four titles | British and U. s. poen and ama- teury in single year.
 If Little does beat Emery you will hear rumors that Lawson in- tends to turn pro. May he will, but he insists the reports are bunk. After they make their final puts today Little an dEmery will turn thei rthoughts back to school books. Lawson has half a year be. fore he gets Stanford degree. Emery is entering University of Oklahoma law school this month.

HITCHCOCK PUT ON GREAT SHOW
 IN POLO MATCH
Veteran Sportsman Scor- ed Nine Goals for Green-
 tree to Gain Finals
By HENRY SUPER

\
 Westbury, N. r., Sept. 14-(UP) When they count the members of the ''old guard" who faded from the active sports picture this year the name of Tommy Hitchcock won't be among them.
 Dempsey, Ruth, Jones and Til den-all tops in their fields a dec ade ago-now are merely names in the records books. But Hitch cock, king of polo during that golden era of competition, still rates spot among the worlds best mallet-wielders.
 Fourteen years ago Hitch, then 21, was an international star. Ten golds was his rating-and that's as high as an exponent of the sport of horse and mallet can go.
 Last season, after two serious brain concussions put him out of commission for most of the cam paign,. the Hitchcock polo obitu- aries were prepared. The U. s. Polo association dropped him to nine goals, along with Winston Guest and Cecil Smith, leaving the world without a 10 goaler.
 But yesterday Tommy put on an- other of the hell-for-leather rid ing exhibitions that have earned him a spot among the sports all time greats. Playing at No. 2 for the pink-shirted Greentree four Hitchcock bagged nine goals and played bang-up defensive game as his team rode int the semi. finals Aof the American open championships with a 15-9 victory over Long Island.
 It was his best performance ir more than two years and he gave the players of both sides a lesson in stickwork, tactics, strategy and horsemanship. Varying his strokes from soft, delft taps to long, sig zling pokes, Hitchcock scored four goals on free foul shots and five from the field.
 As a result, Greentree, often a finalist but never a victor in the tournament which dates back tc 1904, gets crack at Templeton defending champion which drew s first round bye, in Sundays semi. final battle. The other finalist vii be determined today with Aurora conqueror of old Westbury on Fri day, playing the Hurricaners, win ners over England's famed Hur' lingham club.
