who took the pains to carefully die
tate the instructions and explana-
tions, spending an hour and a half
with me over them. Since that first
publication the matter has appeared
in more than 1000 papers in the
United States and has firmly estab-
lished Setback as a bowling author
ity.
Yesterday, two years and a half
later. the condensed reprint of the
story appeared in the Spokesman
Review, with all the main points set
forth by Setback. Proprietor Harry
Haupt of the Pfister bowling alleys
will easily recognize the instruc-
tions, as his instructors in Butte
followed, to a large extent, the ples
to beginners, set forth by Setback.
Because of the interest taken in
bowling by scores of beginners and
the fact that Selbach's dictated in
structions still stand as the model,
they are reproduced herewith for the
benefit of readers Of The Press. The
only thing of Importance omitted
from the following reprint are the
descriptions given of the famous
curved ball used by Vorhies and
which will be given in these columns
later.
Control is the whole thing in
bowling. The knowledge of how to
hold the ball or push a ball is the
entire science, and it requires care
| full attention and constant practice.
knowledge of the alleys comes next.
For the beginner. the first thing
| is to know how to start He should,
first of all, get a ball in which the
| thumb and finger holes are just fitted
| to him. They should be the same
| size as the thumb and finger, so that
both can slip in and out easily and
at the same time afford a close and
positive grip. The holes should be
bored SO that the fingers will not
stick at the delivery
"In rolling he should first try to
lay the ball on the edge of the alley
from the right corner or edge and
shoot for the center. trying to stay
there and hit No. / and No. pins
With a hit of these two pins you will
| seldom have a split, as the ball goes
in and gets the five pins and is bound
to get a strike or leave up but one
pin.
After getting so that he can hit
| the head pin and control his ball,
| the bowler should learn to twist the
| ball, which Is done by throwing his
| thumb toward the head pin. This
must be done with tight grip. and
| the ball should be shot from the
| edge.
"A right handed bowler will shoot
from the right edge or corner, and
turn his tumb in toward the left
| ever so little with a firm grip. BY
doing so he catches the head pin and
| scores a strike or, at the worst. gets
nine. on the roll. A straight ball
roller should always use the same
kind of ball, but should shoot to hit
the head pin about three quarters
full. This hitting at three quarters
full is bound to win a strike. Wolfe,
| one of the best of our bowlers. uses
this kind of bail, but with a slight
| reverse twist. Peterson. another
| great bowler. to some extent uses the
same kind of ball
THE bowler. to start shoult never
step before he swings. He sshould
step and swing together. Hetshbuld
stand with his feet together and
start the left foot forward at the
| same time he swings He should
draw an imaginary line frep the
right edge Of the alley to the No. /

bowler has control, which he will get
with practice, which is everything in
bowling, he will strike or get nine.
zone main point is never to start,
when in a contest, to bowl at the
same time the man on the next alley
starts. Either go ahead of him or
wait on him, and never hurry. You
must watch the foul line. but if you
remember always to take three steps,
and become accustomed to this. you
will never go over the line. Some
obwlers take short steps instead Of
the regular stride, and then they
tafie four or even FIVE; but you must
accustom yourself to the same thing
all the time and then you will ac-
quire the proper poise or balance and
be able to stop at the right instant.
One effective delivery is to take ordi-
nary seps to gain momentum and
fective. but few of us use the slide
as frequently as in former days.
Don't try to use more speed than
you can control the ball with. This
is the trouble with more than half
Of the bowlers that / have watched

than they are able to control.
with light pins l use a slow ball
and take chance and never hit them
full. In. case heavy pins are used l
put more speed and hit fuller. This
is to catch the five pin.
with light pins you must hit thin,
as light pins will fly up into the air
instead of rolling into the others,
just the same as any light object will
fly up If hit hard by a heavy sub
stance. The object is to drive the
heavy pins in SO as to hit the No.
pin.
"In holding and delivering the ball
always have the thumb forward be-
fore dropping it, Never drop a ball
back of you. Watch the average
bowler and notice how many times
he drops the ball behind instead of in
front of him. This loses the control
and the aim is destroyed
New bowlers can only hope to ac-
quire control and easy delivery with
practice. Speed is not so essential as
control, and the main fault with am.
ateurs is that they slam the ball
| down the alley with the idea that
the harder they throw the more pins
| are going down. AS a matter of fact,
balls too speedy go through the
| pins"

and pins. Don't look at the bunch
of pins, but at the 1 and 2, just as
if they were the only pins up. In
looking at the imaginary line fix the
distance about half way down the
alley to place the ball, and if the
bowler has control, which he will get
with practice, which is everything in
bowling, he will strike or get nine.

When you're a long ways from

friend, isn't it? l met one yesterday
when / went through the sporting
page of the Spokesman-Review 1t
was a story on bowling which looked
like a letter from home.
A little over two years ago Sam
Karpf of the Crawford McGregor-
Candy company of Dayton, o., who
is now secretary of the American
Bowling congress, took his ALL
American team of bowlers through
the country. In the team were Vor-
HES, the great curved ball player;
Phil Wolfe, then Individual cham
pion: Peterson, and AL Setback, who
had been playing on the Baltimore
American baseball team and who last
season was with the champion Bos-
tons.
At that time i was doing sports
on the Butte Inter Mountain and one
day during the visit of the All Amer
leans 1 printed in the willie B.
Goode" department two columns and
a half of instructions given by Sell
bach to the amateur bowlers.
The instructions were commented
upon across the country as the best
and easiest to understand and to be
followed by beginners that had ever
been issued. The Brunswick Bake
Collender company. although a rival
concern, used quantities of the pa
pers containing the story and had
them posted in many of their show
windows.
The story was published all over
the country in different papers and
was gradully boiled down from two
and a half columns to one column,
but still retained the inspiring feat
ures of the instructions?
The credit for the great run of
the story is entirely due to Setback.

SENSIBLE DECISION.

The decision of the secretary Of war
to buy the materials and machinery
with which to construct the Panama
canal where he can buy them the
cheapest will Command the respect OF
every unselfish American. Even the
protectionist can hardly object. The
decision In no way affects the Amerl-
can market, which It Is the aim OF the
protectionists to preserve intact for
the American manufacturer and pro
Queer, In so far as 1t can be done. The
construction of the canal is a unique
enterprise. largely patriotic, but 1t Is
also for the benefit Of all nations, and
of future generations. On the same
principle as philanthropic and religious
institutions are exempted from tax
alton In this country, 10 the canal
should be exempted from the burden
of the tariff tag which, 1t Is already
demonstrated would increase the cost
by considerably than fifty per
cent. OF course, there will be tremen.
dous pressure on Congress to extend
the protective system to the materials
and machinery for the canal. but II
Is to be hoped that In this instance the
members OF Congress will show some
evidence Of broad minded patriotism.
II Is generally understood, although
not officially determined that the
eight hour law will apply to the work
on the canal and that Of itself will
materially increase the cost Of the en-
%terprise.
