will sweep off certain other pins and
leave standing formations which make
the bowler wonder how they possibly
could occur. They do happen, though.
and picking up the difficult ones is
what marks the finished bowler from
the man who prizes loose good score
by accident. Strikes are not so hard to
get and often are accidents, but the
man who can 60 through a series of
games getting spares with regularity
is more finished bowler than the man
who shoves them all down with the
first ball and misses one or two pins.
The "break."" or "split," Is the bane
Of the nan who would pile up big
scores. Just why and how they hap
pen Is mystery, but they do occur.
and it is one of the fates of the game
that they usually come in the middle

stride and causes many good man to

Explanations of the breaks and how
to make them are as follows:

lightly on right side; s pin caroms and
gets Z; ball carries pin.
Second-7-1O split-Should be rolled
with smallest ball handy. Hit pin
three-quarters on left hand side; z
must rebound from back cushion to
get 10. Most difficult shot on tenpin
alley.
Third4-7-9-1O split-Ball strikes
pin very lightly on left hand side;
caroms and gets 8 and 10 pins; ball
carries pin.
Fourth-3-5-9-1O split-Pins close to-
gether, but very difficult. Ball hit 8

hit pin on the inside to catch 8; ball
gets 10 pin.

season. The ball picks of the ~ side

slides across the alley and gets the 6-10
If struck too thin, the 8 pin only goes

One OF the most frequent "splits'' is
the 6-1O. All are familiar with 1t and
the way Of picking it up. The ball is
sent down the alley to strike the 5
