Until you have mastered this feat, your
finances Of becoming a crack tensticker are
very slim. At least observation tends to
show this.
II one takes the trouble to watch a number
Of beginners In the act OF bowling, he will
surely be amused by the ludicrous postures
they assume and the gyrations they go
through.
How awkward they arel One might
Imagine they were trying to see who could
throw the ball the hardest, instead Of taking
a few minutes Of recreation
Then let him turn his attention to a group
Of finished players Mark how graceful they

Is OF no moment whatever. Three, four, five
In succession. That Is export bowling. They
hive all been through the awkward stage,
and have proated by their own and other
mistakes
Bowling is an art.
Just what the term art here signifies is
about as difficult Of comprehension as is the
newly elected president of n swell college
when trying to explain what the word uni
versity" meanS When he has finished his
talk you are conscious Of a tumble OF Latin
and vague expressions, and meaningless moth
ings crowded into your brain. In plain words,
you do not know any more than you did be-
fore. In fact, you know less. 1t Is the same
with bowling, especially in counting. A de-
scription OF scoring will DO given later on,
which will show the difficulty connected
with 1t.
