With tho exception Of golf. II is ques-
tionable II any game holds its devotees
so long as bowling. Most alley players
begin rolling somewhere between six
teen and twenty years of age. and no
body ever heard Of anybody quitting
for good. That probably is just little
bit of an exaggeration. but it is a recog-
nized fact that few bowlers ever give
up their, game entirely. With that
thought in mind. Pop HALEY. who prob
ably has done more to develop competi-
tive bowling here than any other In
dividual. was approached and asked to
tell why. What Pop said:
I'm sure that you have asked me a
question easy. yet difficult to answer.
To give all the pros and cons and why's
and wherefores Of the game would take
up too much time and too much space.
IL you intend to print something about
it. / believe lot of people bowl with
out really knowing why they bowl. You
know a foot ball player hardly can OK
plain why he became star on the col
lege gridiron rather than on the oia-
mond and track man cannot well give
very good reasons why he Is q runner
instead Of a swimmer.
Why HALEY Is Bowler.
ITO my mind, though. 1t seems that
there are Just two good reasons why
bowling is SO popular / might say, at
least. that these are the reasons nave
kept 1t up for many years. These
reasons resolve themselves into moth

stimulus which every man gets

I'VE all recognize that exercise Is
The muscles of the body must be

to do their best work. No matter how
brilliant may be the mind. 1t needs a
work at top speed for any sustained
period. Setting up exercises are all
right, in their way, for physical de-
velopment. but you cannot set the

Walter Issues Five Passes.


Illustrated by the five bases on balls he
ssued-something unusual for the Kan
san-and account, in a measure. for the
fact that the enemy nicked him for eleven
safe drives. also out of the ordinary when
Johnson is on the mound. With the
winged" balls practically uncomfortable
when thrown with great speed, the Kan
san was forced to lessen the power put
into his delivery to get the ball over and
the result is seen in the Yankees hit col
umn.
Neither Shotton nor I.avan, the new
comers from ST. Louis distinguished
themselves. Both wobbled somewhat at
critical junctures. although the former
escaped having an error charged to him.
1t was Howard Shanks. the pride Of
Monaco. Pa. who hogged all the laurels
in sight. Not only did he take care of
the seven chances offered him in his
usual spectacularly faultless style. but at
bat he was the one bulwark OF strength
the Griffmen boasted, crashing out three
line drives to safe territory in his four
appearances at the plate-just half the
total Of bingles credited to the Nationals.
No time was lost by the visitors in

BY DENMAN THOMPSON.

Miller Huggins' new Gotham OUTFIT
yesterday lived up to all the nice things
said OF its slugging propensities, while
some of the Nationals, johnson and
Foster particularly, failed to measure
up to specifications, with the result that
the Griffmen took fine young trim
ming at the hands of the visitors in the
initial clash of the season at American
League Park-score, 6 to 3.
Johnson early encountered difficulties.
AS is the case with many other products
in these times of war, Mr.. Reach's base
balls, although costing more than last
season. are not of as good quality as
formerly. Becoming rough and fuzzy
on contact with the ground, the effect
of the air resistance when propelled
with the great speed used by Johnson
was to make the sphere "sail'-jump
and shoot in different directions. AS
consequence AinSsmith was kept busy
hopping around in the confines of the
catchers box-frequently outside of 1t
to snare the elusive shoots. 1t
is estimated that he dropped nearly
one-third of the balls delivered to him
and almost as many Of those used were
thrown out by Umpire Evans for being
defective

YEOMEN AND AMBULANCE
 WORKERS.

Ieomen ill the navy have come ,in- der attack by the unthinking; so have ambulance workers in France
 Some folks, it appears, imagine that doing such war work is a species of stacking.
 We'll, it isn't.
 YeOmen are at work on Warshlps- and there is no known way to pro tect them more than others on such ships.
 Some of them stand as much chance of being rescued alive in 9 battle as the coal stokers down below. And a shell hitting a ship is as likely to kill yeoman as the man working be- sides him.
 Nothing is more foolish than to call the yeoman's joh on warship "slackerism."

THE CRISIS OF WAR.

All governments at war pass through crises in which their peoples ask questions and demand explana- tions with more or less fury.
 It is impossible to conduct a big war without the human element that makes mistakes.
 Both Washington and Lincoln had to endure bitter hostility. But the churnings of their critics has been forgotten in the lustre of their names.
 The great leaders in England and France have passed through such crises in the present war, and with advantage to their efficiency We shall do the same.
 There is always a lot of advice from the grandstands and the bleach CTS, and usually it helps the home team. It's the accepted method of gingering up the game.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1918-02-08

In the case of ambulance work al the front it is true that such men do not "go over the top' like the sol diers in the trenches. That's about the only thing they don't do, however, They're in danger all the time, and many have been killed while on duty, especially as the German gunners don't seem to be able to tell the diff ferenice between an ambulance and a powder cart.
 Ambulance men, however, are most ly men who are too old for army ser vice-and sometimes too young. Be- fore we entered the war many Amcri- cans of fighting age entered the am bulance service but have since enter cd the fighting ranks.
 There seems to be too much of ten dency to yell "slacker' without ade- quate thought or consideration.

PHONOGRAPH MUSIC AND WAR.

It is unofficially reported that the government has taken over thirty per cent of the Victor Talking ma chine plant, and fifty percent of the Columbia Grafonola company plant, for the manufacture of war muni- tions.
 Restricted capacity of the two larg- est phonograph plants would natural ly follow if the report is as stated.
 Monograph music may be con sidered as non-essential from one standpoint; from the other stand point it is an essential.
 People need diversion to aid them bear the hardships of the war-there isn't the slightest doubt, of that.
