Most Of the local leagues are already
well under way, and the duckpin artists
In particular should have q highly sue
cessful season. 1t IL depiorable that ten
pin bowling is on the swane In the Dis
trict, but such II undeniably the case.
The ever-increasing popularity Of duck
pins may accounted for by the fact that
the smail-pin spillers are relieved OF the
trouble Of carrying Q sixteen-pound ball
around with them a. the tenpin bowiers
are virtually compelled to. A tenpin
bowler hardly ever finds ball with q
grip to his liking and fnds 1t necessary

from his usual place Of bowling. It means
carrying the heavy bowling ball with
him. This the duckpin bowler avoids. ~
duckpin balls are practically an the same
Weixht and size. and the need for provid-
ins suitable balls does not exist. thooe
furnished by the alley owners being OF
standard weight and sise. This may, In
n measure, account for 70 many tenptn
