TENPINS SCIENTIFIC
ASDUCKS, IT'S SAID
Comparison Made by Veteran
Bigpinner-RoIling Tenpins
Improves Duck Skill.

Tenpin bowlers are 80 scarce In
Washington as compared with duck
pin rollers that a game of tenpins
seems something out of the ordinary.
Often a bunch will gather behind the
big pinners end overlook the small
ball performers because of q reason
that not every one of them realizes,
which Is that tenpins Is a more in
teresting game than ducks to watch
This is the opinion of q veteran
tenpin bowler. In commenting on the
game the other day. this pinspiller,
Chris Jacobsen, OF the Royal team IN
the Washington City League, had
further to say that tenpins, contrary
to the idea of most duckpinners, is
just as scientific as duckpins and re-
quires much less exertion to roll.
This latter comparison may favor
either. one, according to the point of
view. II one Is rolling chiefly for
exercise, duckpins would be recon-
mended, but II one has the evening
to spend at rolling and is not desir-
Gus of becoming tired out, tenpins is
the game.
Many contend that rolling tenpins
win improve one at duck shooting.
No one seems to have figured a rea'
son for this, but II remains a fact that
many of the star duckpin rollers OF
the city are former tenpin bowlers.

Whitman Is Determined
To Wipe out Boxing Game
New York Governor Is Opposed to Sport At
Every Angle, Says Judgment From Several
Informal Discussions

NEW YORK, March 27.-Governor
Whitman, of New York, is determined
that before the close OF this year
boxing will be kicked completely out
of New York. His determination, he
declared in recent informal discus
sions, is unalterable. He is opposed
to the game from every angle.
The unfavorable publicity the game
has received in this city, the un-
favorable and unsavory bouts that
have been pulled on from time to
time, Fred Wenck's unfortunate ex-
'perience with the hot end of that 800
check and several other things, have
soured Whitman completely.
wenck's Conduct Bad.
wenck's conduct in office was very
bad, and 1t was the straw that broke
the governors back. He announced
that Wenck would be removed from
office and then let Il be known in an
unofficial way that no one would be
appointed to replace the deposed
chairman OF the boxing commission.
Wenck did several things while in
office that looked bad, among them
being his feat Of borrowing $400 from
the manager of q fighter, no small
stunt. He repaid the money, but
