GOOD ADVICE
TO THE BOWLERS.

Martin Kern, of st. Louis, who won
the individual championship at the
Cleveland tourney, in giving advice
to bowlers says: "Don' t start with too
heavy ball don't get mad when you
don't get a good break, and cut out
the fancy plays and the curved ball.
For your first attempt take small
ball, say one Of % or 26 inches cir
conference. See that the thumb and
finger holes are the right size for your
hand and that they are the proper dis
tance apart. When bent the thumb
and middle finger should fl naturally
into the holes without straining or
cramplng. If you would avoid sore
fingers see that the edges of the holes
are rounded. Having selected your
ball, the next step is the run-up for
the delivery. Take position about
12 feet back of the foul line, facing
the pins almost squarely, with the
ball resting in your left hand. Swing
the ball once to see that your arm is
firm. Start with your right foot and
take four quick steps, bringing your
left foot downsat the foul line.on the
fourth as you deliver the ball. While
you are taking these four steps that
ball..has described one complete swing,
starting from a little in front of your
right leg as you start for the run and
dropping from your hand little ahead
of the same position. At the moment
the ball is released your feet should
be far apart. with the left foot in ad-
vance and the right trailing out to act
as drag and hold you steady as your
body catches the swing of the heavy
ball. Both knees should be bent, the
left one the most. The ball should be
released when the right hand is about
a foot above the alley. Place the ball
on the alley rather than throw it. For
tie. ofIcourse, you will drop it when
you attempt to slide it on to the alley,

ly you must draw one, and then send
your ball along that line as accurately
as you can. As for the speed, give it
enough to carry in the direction you
aimed without rolling off the imagi-
nary line. You will gradually and
unconsciously put more and more speed
into your delivery--as you improve in
control. Now, as to the point of your

the middle or little to the right of
