curse their luck when the bad splits
are encountered might take some hope
from an example set for them in New
York city, where members OF the New

taken up the sport OF bowling. This
institution is known as the Lighthouse.
There Is a regular athletic branch at
the Lighthouse. which is equipped with
gymnasium. a swimming pool. rum

The running track and roller skating
rink are on the roof of the building,
and in the winter the roof Is Hooded

The blind boys and girls have the use
Of q first-class set of bowling alleys.
and this Is one Of the most popular OF
the sports at the Lighthouse. The
alleys are the regulation kind and were
put in by the Brunswick- Balke-Co
der Company. The blind players use
the full weight BAH and bowl against
the regulation size pins. They have
formed couple OF teams from the best
OF the bowlers. every one of whom
scores better than 100. and some OF
them have come close to the 200 mark.
This Is surprising when 1t Is taken into
consideration that comparatively few
bowlers who have all their faculties
can do much better.
One night last week the teams OF

HISTORY OF BOWLING
Ry KIRK c. MILLER
BY KIRK C. MILLER.

year 1908 witnessed the beginning of the
International Bowling Association and
the Middle West Bowling Association.
The former holds forth annually in the
Twin Cities. The Northwest Bowling
Association came to life in 1912 and the
Pacific Coast Bowling Association is
found entering the ranks this year. All
these associations have done much good
In propagating the American game OF
tenpins. Besides these larger organiza-
tions just mentioned We have other as
sociations. foremost of which is the
Illinois Bowling Association. which had
the enormous entry OF 4O6 teams in 1913.
In other States we have also bowling
bodies, including Wisconsin. Indiana,
New York. Kentucky. and Ohio.
This brings the History Of Bowling
about to close, and 1t is sport that
certainly has long history to be
proud OF. The bowling game Is not a
game that has decreased. but instead
has been increasing ever since It has
been started. The American game of
tenpins, safe to say. has many prosper
Gus years ahead.
