early in the middle ages, an old New
York bowler now calls attention 20 the
fact that the game was known many
years before then.
Recent explorations by Dr.. Petrie,
one Of the highest authorities in early
Egyptian history, have brought TO hight
the fact which proves that the game
OF nineDins was known to the Egyp-
tians.
While inspecting the tombs of the
kings of the first Egyptian dynasty,
which are known as the Menes group,
DR.. Petrie discovered a set of ninepins
and balls tastefully carved. The tomb
had been rihed, probably many years
before this. by the Arabs, but some Of
the contents had been overlooked. With
the pins were found an arm of the
queen. with aTmlets and bracelets and
other pieces OF feminine Jeweiry. From
this it is inferred the game was patron
lied by royalty and was played by the
women OF the court.
The period of the Menzes dynasty is
reCkOned as being from 400 to 4,5O0
years before Christ. Taking the lowest
figures and adding the present ammo
dOminf gives the age of bowling as
e400 years.
Just what style Of game the Esyp-
tians played is merely a matter Of con-
lecture and as they had no bowling
congress to preserve their records their
/ scores have not been handed down
Possibly they were poor players, and,
I Ike many bOwlers Of the present day,
did not Ike to see their names in print
