D. C. ROLLERS PRIME
FOR PITTSBURGHERS

While the makeup Of the District
bowling team that will encounter a
crew Of Pittsburgh pinspillers on
November q still is in doubt, word
comes from the Smoky City that the
members Of the invading squad will
be named on Thursday. A competi
tive tourney is being held during the
week to determine the outstanding
bowlers Of the city.
No chance Is being overlooked at
Convention Hall to get line ON the
ability of the local pin experts. Two
sets Of rubber banded pins were ship

number Of sets Of. the local. type of
pins and each evening finds number
of the most prominent bowlers of the
city testing their skill in an endeavor
to win appreciation Of their efforts by
being named to compete In the coming
match.
Upon the conclusion of the match
between Convention Hall and Terminal

usually large squad attacked the
Pittsburgh naples and some very
satisfactory scores resulted. Most
prominent by their scores were Max

than 200 George Friend, with several
successive high games; Frank Miller,
who is a veteran against that type of
pin; AL Work, who is as much at home
on a bowling alley as a duck is in
water; Joe Mulroe, who made 181 with
10 successive spares, and Reds Morgan,
whose ability to record strikes Is well
known. Dutch Weideman, Arthur
Urban, Joe Toomey and others took
turns in compiling games of a re-
spectacle figure. The main problem
to be met is the selection. Of a team
that will be competent to pile up com
sistent scores with both styles of pins.
The management of Convention Hall
announces that there will be no charge
for admission to the tntercity match,
the public being cordially invited to
attend. IT will be staged on alleys in
front of the large grandstand. thus
affording devotees Of the bowling game

AT the ends ofeitheir first week Of
training the srnsrnhers of the Wash
ington Palace club of the American
Basket, Bali League find themselves
ready and fit for the opening of the
season next Sunday with Garry
SohIheelk's quint at Brooklyn.
The court artists will move at a
fast clip during the few days that
remain before they begin on their
Fschedule. Beginning tonight with the
Yankees, they will go through scrim-
mage every evening with some local
UNLIMITED team.
L These battles will enable the pro-
fessionals to polish up their team
play and also will give them the
range of the basket. They already
have done plenty of shooting on the
outdoor court arranged in their train
ing camp at the Manor Club. Barring
Haggerty, who has never broken any
scoring records, the squad is made up
of experts in the art Of dropping them
through the hoop.
While Manager Lou Sugarnan has
not hinted at his starting lineup for
the opening game, II IS likely that
Reds Contay and Roddy Cooney will
be at forward, Haggerty at center
and Kennedy and Grody art the guard
positions. -.

FOOT BALL SECRETS
DO THIS
BY Sol Metzger.

AS the majority of teams now
use the spiral pass, every center
rush should know how to make it.
The correct way is for him to grip
the ball as in the first illustration.
The pass is made entirely with the
right hand. The left hand merely
guides the ball; Place the ball in
the right hand with its lacers un.
der the finger tips. Then put that
part Of the ball on the ground,
reaching well forward with the
arms, SO that the ball is well in
advance Of your shoulders. You
then make the spiral pass by
whipping it through between the
legs. The tips of the right fingers
viii give the ball its spiral motion
as 1t leaves your hands.
Don't try to make the spiral
pass, as in the second illustration,
by gripping the ball in this way
and then putting 1t on the ground
with your finger tips on the lacers.
Such a pass cannot be controlled,
and in order to give it a spiral
twist SO much pressure is neces-
sary that the ball will deviate from
the direction intended.
