PINBOYS HANDLE
IMMENSE WEIGHT
Much Abused Pin-Setter
Lifts Over Five Tons in
One Evening.

Bowlers who stop to figure how
many pounds they lift, carry and roll
during an evenings play are ast0nish-
ed 10 ind how much work they do IN
pursuit Of pleasure. But even those
who are curious enough 10 wonder how
much work they do themselves seldom
trouble themselves about the much
abused pinbOy. The pinboy does more
work in one evening than do several
bCwlers, as figures show.
The regulation pin weighs a little
more than three pounds, and the whole
set weighs approximately thirty-nve
pounds. If every bow Ter rolled per
fect scores the pinboy would have 70
lift the pins and place them after
every ball. and as each bowler rolls
probably an average of sixteen balls.
the pinboy would have lifted $50 pounds
by the time the game was completed.
Over 5000 Pounds Here.
Making an allowance for the pins that
do not fan. the pinboy probably sets up
on an average twO-thirds OF the pins
after each bowler finishes his inning.
This would give the boy a record of
575 pounds lifting pins in one game.
A-tAN4A man Wv - tt4+hE EfiAlAf-a " alf-tA
playing with a team, and hence the
pinboy sets up 1,n9 pounds of ins for
one man in the course Of the evenings
play Five men constitute team, and
thus for each team the pinboy sets up
enough pins to weigh 1856 pounds
This amount only represents the
weight Of the pins. The pinboy also
has TO lift the balls from the pit up
10 the chute and shove them back 10
the bOwlers. The average bah used
by men who play on teams weighs sew
enteen pounds. The largest number Of
balls a player can roll in a ten-inuing
game IS twenty-one, and the smallest
eleven. Splitting the difference. a good
bowler may be said 10 average sixteen
balls.
In one game for one man the boy
lifts balls weighing 272 pounds, and in
the three games 7l6 pounds. Setting
pins for a five-man team. the boy lifts
balls weighing $3.50 pounds. Adding the
amounts lifted in pins and balls. the
much-abused pin setter lifts In one
evening s.l74 pounds. Alley managers
wonder why pinboys are scarcei He
lifts almost five tons in one night
