Isemann regards rubber banded
NAPLES as a curse to the game. The
secretary of the National Duckpin
Bowling Congress and probably the
most energetic bowling organizer in
the country is waging determined
war to exterminate them.
He is making progress. 1t is sig
nificant that several teams of Pitts
burgh bowlers have entered the
National Duckpin Rowling Congress
second annual tournament, to be held
in March at Richmond, Va. Only
hardwood naples are used by the
n. d, B. c., and Pittsburgh is the
stronghold of the rubbered sticks.
Isemann has been invited to
state his case to the Pittsburgh
DucI1pin Association. It's presi-
dent. Sherwood MassinghRm, has
given him attentive ear. Ise
mann's ambition is to standard.
ize duckpins. Principally through.
his efforts, the sand-papered alley
is disappearing in New Eng
land. George is positive that the
rubber-banded pin will follow.
Isemann's argument against the
banded maple is easily tenable. He
maintains that the alley proprietors
and not the bowlers are for it. It's
a two-ball game and therefore con-
sumes less time than the hardwood
style. Also the wear is less. Hence
the alley mans support.
But Isemann has made observa-
tions and collected data tending TO
show the rubber-banded pin pro-
prietor is fooling himself.
'The hardwood gome is growing
rapidly and the other isn't keeping
up with it," says he, land this ap-
pears to be proof that one is. bet
ter game than the other.
1--WE noticed that rubber.banded
pins get about three hours play a
day. In hardwood towns the play
is about six hours. From q strictly
