| There is apt to be some mighty tall
| hustling in the tourney at the Palace
when some of the other good bowlers
| get in their best work. There is no dis
| elimination as to who is eligible and any
| may take part 1t is the kind of tourney
! in which even a green bowler may win
| out. Anybody may come through once
in awhile with a high game. and it is
| only the highest marks which are to be
| counted Anybody, no matter If he does
not stand among the first rank, has a
| chance, though 1t is not going to be an
easy matter to beat out a fellow like
| Baum, who comes through most every
| week with two or three exceptionally
| high scores.
| Here are some 'don'ts'' for those who
are hurling the balls down the alleys:
! Don't try to learn in day.
/ Don't use too much speed at first.
! Don't grip the ball too tight.
| Don't loft the ball.
Don't play the side ball until you have
mastered the center delivery.
Don't swing the ball but once before
| delivering it.
Don't start with jump, walk one and
| run two steps.
Don't deliver the ball with the right
| foot in front
] Don't step on or over the foul line.
Don't think you can change the
course of the ball after it has left your
hand.
| Don't expect strike" every time you
| hit the head pin.
| Don't blame the pin boys if you get
split.
| Don't throw away a spare because
you think you were entitled to
| strike
Don't think the other fellow has all
| the luck. Plug away; things Will
| change.
Don't use any unnecessary motions.
Don't exert yourself. Take it easy.
A slow accurate ball is better than a
swift wild one.
sore finger. You have other fingers on
the same hand
Don't put your whole thumb in the
| finger hole One joint is enough.
| Don't use a large finger hole. Big
| holes make a ball lop-sided.
| Don't roll a ball down the alley when
there is ball in the pit.
| Don't use a wide grip if you have a
| small hand, or too narrow for big
| hand.
Don't use chalk on your shoes 1t
not only cracks the leather. but leaves
| the runway in bad condition for who
ever follows you.
| Don't think your wrist is gone if it
| hurts after bowling a few games. Change
| your grip and throw the strain some
where else.
| Don't bend your back when deliver
ing the ball. With your feet far apart
| and knees bent you can start the ball
| with little or no sound.
| change
everything to suit you. There are 9TH
| ers to satisfy.
Don't be uperstitious-thirteen is a
| better start than twelve.
Don't think it necessary to be a San
dow. Many lightweights bowl WELL
Don't tell your wife that you carried
off all the honors. She may see morn
ing paper.
if you find your score or average printed
wrong. 1t is possible some one else has
made the mistake
Don't get discouraged. you can learn.
Don't tell any one what you are go
ing to do Wait until after the game
and tell them what you did do.
To those who are just beginning to
take up the sport. it might be said that
| IL all these "don'ts" are obeyed they
will be good bowlers-after they have
| practiced assfduously for about five or
ten years.
I The match rolled between the Y. NJ c.
A. and Brunswicks Friday night is de-
serving Of special mention. 1t is very
seldom that two teams are able to hand
up the marks against each other that
did those. There was margin OF only
eight pins on the set. the Brunswicks
getting the greatest total. The scores
for the sets were 1,61S against 1926.
The Y. M. c. A. won two games of the
three, though, making scores of ST. and
| $50 in their first two.
! The Y. M. c. A quint is leading the
National Capital League. 1t has a margin
of just two games On the Palace. which is
in second place. The association FIVE has
won twenty-four and lost nine, while the
| runneEup has twenty-five victories to it's
credit and eleven defeats. The Bruins
wicks are third. with nineteen games
won and fourteen lost. with the Potomacs
/ following close after them with seven
teen wins and sixteen defeats The Capt.
tol Hills which led at the start of the
season with six victories and no losses,
The Velvet Kind. Fat Men. Climbers and
Casinos follow in the order named
Whether or not there will be any
change in the standing of the two lead
ers this week is questionable, although II
would appear that the Palace has a
chance to make up some ground. Harry
Krauss' bunch is scheduled to meet the
Casinos Wednesday night, while the Y. M
c. a. is to try conclusions with the Poto-
macs tomorrow evening The Potomacs
will be more difficult nut for the as
sociation to crack than the Casinos are
likely to be for Palace. unless the last
mentioned take considerable brace for
the occasion.
The Manhattans and Pioneers are tied
for the leadership In the Colonial Ienpl''
| league. Each team has won tWenty-tnree
and lost seven games. and botn are go
ing strong enough to guarantee that there
will be some mighty close fights between
them before the issue is finally decided
and slump on the part of either will
give the other quints chance to show
here being some ready TO spur. at the
east sign Of an opportunity. The Vir-
sinians are in third place with eighteen
,ames won and twelve lost, apparently a
considerable margin between them and
he leaders. but let either tne Manha.tans
virginians or the Pilgrims will crawl UP
/ IN them fast The lroquois. Knicker-
