method of reaching the pit" the bowler
is supposed to have made poodle
What the bowler generally says on that
subject cannot be printed for obvious
reasons.
Every properly made tenpin ball has
two holes bored in its side for the pur-
pose of affording the bowler sure
grip. the idea being that by this means
the ball can be directed with unerring
aim at any pin on the alley. The holes
also serve the purpose of enabling the
bowler TO curve" the ball in any de-
sired direction. This latter way of curv-
lag the ball is very much in vogue
now. and one can often see the ball
headed straight for the single pin, the
downfall of which is desired. when. with
in inches OF the mark the ball will ma
jestically turn to either side of the pin
without touching it. When this happens,
as is frequently the case. the bowler
generally becomes "peeved," and the
poor ball gets all the blame, for the
bowler, naturally, cannot be at fault.
Certainly not.
Sometimes the ball is loaded-likewise
the bowler-and then it is called a
''dodo'' ball, but the loaded kind of ball
is not considered good form in sporting
circles any longer and an active warfare
is being waged against it now by the
supreme courts in bowling.
That's pretty tough, Logan. when you
roll 30 pins and then have to stand by
and see your side lose the game by three
pins.

Benny Brush sometimes uses a duck
pin ball in rolling at single pins in ten
pins. And the scores he makes by this
new method! The less said about them
the better.
