American Duckpin Congress and
the National Duckpin Bowling
Congress, the former dealing en-
tirely with rubber-banded pins and
the latter with atwood naples.
George l.. Isemann, secretary of
the N. d. B. c.. made this clear
today in commenting on an OBJ.
servation made in these columns
the other day, to the effect thai
the A. D. c. would hinder Ise-
mann's organization in its cam
paign to standardize the duckpin
game.
Isemann admitted the hindrance
in this respect but asserted that
the two organizations were on the
friendliest terms. He expects
strong representation of Pittsburgh
bowlers in the N. D. B. C's first
annual tournament. to be held in
Baltimore in March.
The Washington times., 1927-12-02

This is done every year by the
American Bowling Congress, which
governs tenpins, and the same
plan was carried out by the At
lantic Coast Bowling Association,
killed off by the war.
There are fewer devotees of the
rubber.banded pin than of the all
wood and hence it would be rea.
Sonable for the banded-maple
shooters to make the concessions
if the game is TO be standardized.
One thing is quite certain. The
alley interests where the banded
pins prevail will never advise a
change. The banded-maple game
is better money-maker than the
atwood. Only two balls are rolled
per box and the rubber lengthens
the life of the pin, though the
original cost may be more than
that of the atwood.
The two-bali game with duckpins
is playid in the West during warm
weather. In the winter the little
naples are disdained and only the
rumble and bang of tenpins is
heard.
. Duckpins and tenpins simply
won't mix, it appears, although
