The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1919-12-11
Between Strikes

Our local authorities and fuel ad-
ministrators have made lot of friends
in permitting the bowling alleys to
operate from to 10 p. m, judging
from the attendance at the alleys last
night. All Of us appreciate the good
judgment shown by the authorities
in their very broad-minded decision.
The mid-December tournament.
which is being staged now, was quite
well patronized last night. Arthur
Lotus" King and Ducky Sherer were
on hand at 6: 90 sharp and began their
little performance which resulted in
Jiggs Hadley placing these two pin
smashers at the head of the Doubles
with 1,34S pins to their credit. "Lof-
tus" succeeded in sending an even 700
pins to the pit during the games and
''Ducky" stepped right along with GAS.
We won't argue, Gregory-this man
Arthur Lotus" King has the happy
faculty of being able to place his bali
just where he wants it. We can prove
this. Here are the doubles results so
far; now Judge for yourself: King and
Sherer, 1,348; King and Bennett, 1909,
King and Sherer, 1899; Ryan and
Michaeltree, 1888. And, in the singles
King stands high with 769 pins. All
that we understand about the laws of
cause and effect, as we'll as the rules
and regulations prescribed by the A..
B. c., leads us to believ that Arthur
is entitled to seat amid the palms,
while we must be content to occupy
our usual seat on the mourner's bench.
And Walter Bennett told us last
night that Arthur could do as well on
one alley as he can on any other in
the place. This question is up for
discussion now.
Speaking OF science In bowling, Fa-
Their Ryan is getting bowling down to
q science from the appearance of the
score sheets he marks down, for that
horseshoe bend of his surely reaps
its rewards.
Bob Huffman and Ray Slade were
caught in the act on No. 5 last night.
Ray averaged 213 for six games. but
Bob says, II can't be good every
night" We agreed with him after
looking over the score sheets.
This is an invitation to Andy Mag,
Harry Brokamp and Carl Kutter to
call again some night. We noticed
that you didn't break any records last
night, but your future is before you.
We don't know what size glove
"Toe" Ashinger wears, but we are
sure we have a ball to fit his hand.
Call again TOE"
It's gr-r-r--and and glor-r-rious feel.
ing to see some of the "Old School"
drop in. friends from the old Miller
alleys, and we hope to see Dick Allen
around Twiggs quite often in the fu-
ture. We can remember the day when
Dick showed us how to get the pins.
Mac Michaeltree rather looked
guilty last night when we caught him
with a bowling ball in his hand in
stead of his usual billiard cue. Mac
is quite a star with both.
piggy" Maher and Carl Glazier
were going through their Daily Ex-
ercise" last night. Carrs left wing
was moving them down quite consist
entity, but ''Piggy"- what's wrong?
Did you really have 40 in the fifth
frame, and then-well, we heard Mr..
Twigg say that all good bowlers have
bad night occasionally.
A Word to the Wise-We have a
bunch that the Cokes are out for
blood" Ernie Ray was practicing
hard last night, and hitting right
around 200, and we understand that
Capt. Foster has signed up an old
timer, His Nibbs, Raymond Jones, who
promises to stage a comeback in local
bowling. We haven't seen Ray bowl
for four years but we believe that
he has the goods.
A Richmond team consisting of
King, Bennett, Myers, Sherer, Smith
and Zones intend to invade the Tri-
State Bowling Tournament at Cincy
In the near future, and are entered in
the five man event, as we'll as singles
