be greater than ever"
\ meeting of the Kennel Club has
been called for tonight. Final plans
for the show will come up for adop-
ton
Entries, which will be accepted at
2130 Z street until April 6, are coming
in in large numbers, according to
Frank =. Leach, bench show chair

and those living nearby enter their
dogs if they are of recognized breed.
1t is not necessary that the dogs have
pedigrees.
Among recent local entries are: Lau-

Bowling Declared to Be One of the Most Ancient of All Worlds

spare bowling is the thing, trying to
get spare breaks, you understand. 1t
says you can't get Il row of strikes,
anyway, and a strike by itself is not
much better than a spare. So the
idea Is TO shoot SO as to keep from
getting splits-to keep EN- bunched--
get possible spare breaks Under
stand?"
you poor fish said the Old Timer
pityingly, you've got the wrong
page. You always get the wrong
page in everything. What you've
been looking at is about tenpin bowl
ing. This spare stuff is all right for
the big pins because good bowler
can get u spare practically every
frame by playing for it. But the
ducks are something else again.
That's why tenpin shooters hate 'em.
They are used to getting what they
hit--with the big pins. When YOU
sock the ducks you never know what
win happen"
It's a cinch that nobody could ever
guess what will happen when you
shoot at en-" agreed the Kid. They
can't even guess whether you will
hit the bunch or not. Every gutter

| bowl just for exercise and, you
understand. bowling is just as good
exercise whether YOU roll the balls
down the alleys or down the cutters. "
II guess that's right" admitted the
Kid. And you're sure of having
three shots at each bunch. getting all
the exercise there is. If YOU kept
the. ball on the alleys you might get
strike or spare now and then.
Maybe you're a lot smarter than I've
been giving you credit for being"
You said 1t. Kid, you said it,
agreed the Old Timer. "Ill admit
that I'm a smart guy and it pleases
me immensely to have you recognize

when the Old Man ordered the boys

stone records dug up around the re-

range games in which they could all
take part because, YOU see. Noah had
gaken only two of everything on the
Ark. There We're two of each kind
II animal; two tennis racketS: two

day when Sham was taking the two
horses to water an idea struck him.

Just hold your ground until the last

so gives the pitcher confidence that
you are afraid of his. Let him know
