The alleys were then thirty-six inches
wide instead Of forty-two and differed
materially in construction from the
highly polished affairs of today. The al
ley was built entirely of hard wood, with
a steel plate to set the pins on. The
pins stood eight inches apart from cen
ter to center, instead of twelve.
While the mechanical advantages were
few the game was none the less interest
ing, and Harry Clayton, Henry Martin,
Fred Mample or George Schaller can re-
count Homeric contests. The scoring
was entirely different, inasmuch as pin
had to be knocked down for every score.
There were no strikes and spares. A
player rolled three balls to frame, and
when his score was chalked up it was the
record of the actual number of pins
knocked down.
In this good old time Tom Foley was
the bowlers patron to the extent of Of
fering medals and prizes. The Summit
team, picture of which is reproduced,
was the champion, with record of an
entire season without the loss of game.
There was a medal for the best month S
individual play offered by Foley, which
was holly contested for The medal had
to be won three times before it became
the property of the wearer. and. there
was no greater bowling honor in those
days. Harry Clayton, who is still maxi
ing phenomenal scores, won two of
these medals.
Today, there are nearly seventy five al
leys conducted in ST. Paul and the census
of bowlers will easily show 1000 active
participators in the sport An alley costs
$500, and the alleys alone represent an
investment of $4,000, to say nothing of

present revival started about five years
ago, ard grew steadily until 1902, when it
apparently reached its height, and the
past two years have been about station
airy.
In the Commercial league ST. Paul
boasts the largest league in the United
States, with its twenty-one clubs play
ing on regular schedule. The City
league is made up of ten clubs, and there
are numerous other leagues made up of
bowlers who are associated in the same
business or profession. In 1908 st. Paul
sent team to the national tournament in
Indianapolis which finished sixteenth, and
last winter the team finished in eleventh
place at Cleveland.
Fred w. Gosewisch is president of the
City league, and one of the most en-
thusiastic bowlers in the city. He has
not been rolling four years, but being
natural bowler from the start soon forged
to the front ranks as player, and last
year won the individual prize, as well as
assisting his team, the Courts, to land

relegated to the junk pile of sport.
Terrors of Scoring
The most terrifying thing to the begin
ner is the scoring and indeed it presents
a mathematical tumble calling for such
intense concentration of mind as to be
positively appalling. Those who have
mastered the art are scornful of the
stupidity of one who becomes pale in the
middle of the explanation, entirely for
getful of their own fears when they first
approached the scorer. Yet there are
thousands upon thousands who know how
to score, and as there is nothing about
these fortunates to indicate any mar
velous bent for figures it must of neces-
sity be simple when you know how"
To the uninitiated the score board re-
. sembles. Taylor's theorem or some alge-
braical formula concocted during the
dark ages when man spent lifetime on
one idea and then left it for a succeeding
generation to complete.
The origin of bowling is shrouded in
antiquity and in point or hoary
locks and royal antecedents is
entitled to dispute precedence with
golf in the marshaling of sports
OF aristocratic lineagle. Whatever
may have been the circumstances of its
ing was an important pastime in the mid
die ages in England and France 1t was
then purely an outdoor game played on
the greensward as were all games of
that period. The game at that time was
known varieusly by the name of 'bowles, y
"boules" or "carreau, but many locali-
ties had names of their own for this form
of amusement. At this time the game
was in its rudimentary form and the
balls were made of stone, with one round
and one oval shaped side. The oval gave
the ball curve as it sped down the
green, and the curve was the high art
then
Instead of pin, a cone stood at each end
of the alley and the object Of the play
ers was to get the ball as close as pos
sibIe to the cone, much the same as
quoits or horseshoes are now played. It
seems that the acme of skill in these
days was to curve around the opponents
which prevented the ball from being
knocked away. This wrinkle is still prac-
ticed in Switchboard
Advent of Wooden Balls
Later on lignum vitae supplanted the
stone ball and as the outside of the tree
was lighter that the heart the balls were
constructed so that one side weighed
heavier than the other and thus the de-
sired curve was obtainable The loaded
ball discussion which came up with so
much vehemence in the past few years
is nothing new, as the history of bowling

The cone in turn disappeared and its
place was taken by Jack a stone or
earthen ball. which was knocked about

possibilities to the game. The bowling

most important adjuncts of every village

and romance make frequent mention of
them as the meeting place for all sorts of
purposes.
plot of level ground was secured and
bounded by drainage troughs to insure
the quick departure of rainfall, and it Is
written that so well was this done that
the hardest rains had little effect on this
most popular spot. The grass was cut
to the requisite length and the turf roll
ed and worked until it was as hard and
fiat as table. The size of the court
was 90x150 feet.
In the reign of Queen Anne and the
first three Georges. bowling was in its
prime as an occupation for the aristocrats,
and no gentleman's estate was considered
complete without it's well kept green.
1t was the royal fad and the imitators of
royalty spent much money and infinite
pains in the building and maintenance of
their greens. Some of them are historic,
evergreen trees. under the shade of which
the dashing knights and their guerdon
giving ladies watched the play.
Being robust trenchmen I'VE olde tymer''

saw fit to besport themselves with.
Thus did the chivalrous burly .sof the
good old days pay joyous penance for the
sins of the palate, much the same as his
modern bon vivant makes amends for
lobster and pate de foie gras, so that there
are centuries of experience to testify to
the merits of the game.
Bowling lnvades America
Plymouth Rock was an old landmark
before the game emigrated to America,
as the first rumors of its appearance are
in the latter part of the seventeenth or the
first part of the eighteenth century. Like
many another good thing it landed in New
York. and according to all accounts was
very popular in the Dutch village. An
old map of the city dated 1928 shows
bowling green ON the north side of a
public garden situated near Kings farm.
near the foot of Warren and Murray
streets.
The first mention of the game being
played indoors. on "a covered alley, is
found in William Fitz-S Stephens Survey
of London, about the twelfth century.
The first record of match game played
indoors in America was game played on
the Knickerbocker alleys in New York
city Jan l. 1870. There was little or no
bowling in the United States until 1876,
when the clubs became fairly numerous.

CALIFORNIA TO HAVE
GOOD TURF SEASON
Tracks Are in Shape and Purses Are Al
Turing to Owners

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Oct. 15.-Within
the past few years the sport of kings" in
the Golden state has made rapid strides
into popular favor, and there is no other
spot in the country today where winter
racing is conducted on the same high
plane as in California.
Here both climate and natural surround
ings are in it's favor, and as result each
passing season witnesses a higher class of
horses on the scene and better sport than
in the year preceding it. This is espe
cially true of the tracks about San Fran
cisco, which is the real home of California
racing and where there are three tracks
controlled by the New California Jockey
club, of which Thomas III. Williams is
president and Percy w. Treat secretary.
These three are the Oakland, lngleside
and Tanforan tracks, and it is no exag-
geration to say that they have no SUI
periors and few equals, either at home or
abroad money having been spent upon
them with lavish hands by the manage
ment. Even in wet weather these Call
fornia tracks are fast as compared with
Eastern tracks under the same condi-
lions, and at their best they are as speedy
as can be desired.
This year all the indications point to
most successful season of sport and more
Eastern horses will be shipped than ever
before. No purse of less than $500 viii
be offered, while the added money to
stakes is of the most liberal character,
as is proved by the fact that to the six
teen stakes which close on Oct. "a the
sum of $43 900 is added the Burns handi-
cap, with a guaranteed value of $4,000,
being as usual the star attraction.
Contrary to the custom that has pre-
vailed there in the past, in all selling
races run this season all beaten horses
will be subject to claim, this being now
the invariable rule both East and West,
a rule that is popular both with horse
men and the public.
The fact is also made public that in
stake handicaps -year-olds VIII not
be allotted less than 100 pounds and four
year-olds and upward not less than lV5
pounds. which is certainly a move in the
flames e Handy will look after the stake
entries in Chicago. st. Louis and Kansas
City The sixteen stakes, entries to which
close on Oct. "a, are as follows;
