+ ERE is one for the duckpin fans.
When Is a strike not a strike?
That doesn't sound very con-
r;r&o,o+ hut n hoe hnQn known

i L Sistent, but 1t has been known
to happen that bowler APP
parently gets 10 pins with the break
ball, only to be disappointed.
Such an incident recently occurred IN
one of Washington's youngest duckpin
leagues. One of the stars toppled nine
pins Clearly and left the tenth standing
in such a position that the removal OF
deadwood was impossible without the
leaning pin falling.
An argument Immediately arose
among the members of the two teams
and league officials. Most OF them
claimed a clean strike for the bowler.
Others thought the pin should be re-
spotted. The president Of the league
was called into the dispute. He declared
that he though the bowler was entitled
to strike, but suggested that the box
be rerolled.
After some dispute as to whether he
would reshoot the box, the pinman, who
had considered himself robbed OF a
strike, furnished the big surprise by
getting clean strike.
According to the National Duckpin
Bowling Congress rules, which now are
generally accepted as official, the pin
that fell with the removal of dead wood
should have been reshot. Paragraph
No. IL, headed rules and regulations OF
the N. D. p. B. c., reads as follows:
"The deadwood must be removed from
the alley after each ball rolled. Should
any pins fall in removing the dead
wood, such pins must be respected"
In the instance cited, the bowler
profited by the ruling of the league pres
ident The best he could have hoped for
after the pin had been respected would
have been spare. Instead he was
credited with strike.
Such instances seldom occur In the
small pin game. It has happened SO
seldom in local circles that few bowlers
are acquainted with the official ruling in
such case. To the average alley fan If
pin drops when dead wood is removed
that pin is credited to the bowler and
not respected.

CHICAGO, January II P.-If
roughness of play can be accurately de-
termined by the number of personal
fouls called. Irving Nelson, Iowa's flashy
forward, is the smoothest sharpshooter
in the Big Ten basket ball champion
ship campaign.
In three conference games not one
personal foul has been called against
Nelson, who is second to Wilcox in indi-
vidual scoring for the Hawks, with 26
points.
Tenhopen, Wisconsin's rangy center,

Georgetown Prep, which has listed two
games each with Gonzaga and Dewitt,
may transfer these games to the league
if contests also can be arranged with
ST. Johns.
A brisk scoring squirt in the last half
carried Gonzaga to victory over ST.
Johns. It was the first meeting of ath-
letic teams of the schools for several
seasons. st. Johns was Handicapped in
the late stage by the absence of Slagle,
center, and Atchison, guard, who were
banished for personal fouls. At the
half the score was tied at Tall, and
there seemed little to choose between
the teams.
Bussink and McVean were big guns
in Gonzagas attack. while Slagle, Hud-
son and Gallagher did virtually all of
st. Johns scoring.

Hearing on the application Of North
Dakota railroads for an injunction
restraining application of a new
schedule Of interstate class freight
rates. ordered by the state railroad
board to become effective July l. will
be held Tuesday at Fargo before Fed
eral Judge Andrew Miller.
Attorney General Jim Morris. who
gill handle the legal side OF the case
for the state railroad board, was ad-
vised this morning that 1t had been
impossible to gather three federal
judges to hear the argument on the
injunction application as originally
planned and that Judge Miller had
agreed to sit alone.
The new schedule ordered by the
railroad board would reduce wholesale
distributing rates from all points in
the state except those along the east
ern border which now enjoy lower
distributing rates than cities in the
central and western parts of the state.
The effort Of the state railroad board
is to put all points on the same basis.
Morris and officials Of the. state
railroad board today were completing
preparation Of the argument which
will be made against the injunction
application. Although Morris viii

the railroad board win be represented
by Commissioner Fay Harding, now

buying stock In diversified enterprises

Another important work Of the pro.

GOVERNOR TO NAME
BANK Commission
FOR REVIEW OF CODE
Recent Economic Changes il
State suggsst Pattsrning
On Eastern Methods

Decision to appoint q banking code
commission to review the banking
laws Of the state and make nigges.
lions for changes was announced
here. today, by Governor George r.
Shafer.
Although the proposed board will
have no. official status and its work
will have no official standing at the
next legislative session, Governor
Shafer expects its work to be Is ef.
fective rs the work which might have
been accomplished by the commission
which he wanted the legislature to
authorize last winter. The governors
proposal 10 appoint . commission to
review the state banking laws and
make recommendation for changes
was killed in the state senate along
with several other administration
measures.
The governors idea is to put into
action q plan which he has touched
upon In recent addresses to various
groups Of state bankers. He has some
ideas Of hts own which he would like
to see incorporated In the law II they
meet the approval OF men who have q
complete grasp Of the financial, agri-
cultural and business structure Of the
state.
Broader Service Suggested
Recent changes in the economic
structure Of the state have made 1t
necessary, the governor said. that
steps b taken to put banks on q dif-
fArAv,t hoCSc - %hA f~3na~r{a1 cSAss~t&os,
is to remain sound. This, he said
Is proved by q long list Of bank fail
ures which were partly due to the fact
that the state was overhanked and
partly to other causes.
"A bank Is not worth anything to
the community unless It is SAFE" the
governor said. I'VE should make
whatever changes are necessary t.
promote absolute safety and We also
should revise the statutes to permit
the banks to render q broader and
better service to the community"
Until recent years. the governor
pointed out. banks did a profitable
sidelinc business which more thar
paid their banking expenses. It wa!
customary for banks to deal In lane
loans. Eastern investors sent thet
money to North Dakota for invest
I1ent In first mortgage loans ant
every bank did . large business.
Side Lines Have Wlthered
