was made under championship
conditions In every respect.
Besides Mrs. Lillian FriSk's
officially recognized all-time high
game record made on these alleys
in May Of this year there is no
clause in the National Duckpin
Congress regulations regarding
rounded or square cutters.
Brunswick Bake Collender builds
regulation alleys both ways, leav-
ing the type of cutters desired
optional with the owners. In
New England States the rounded
cutters prevail.
The balls that Harrison used
were regulation five-inch balls.
The rule-book simply states that
the ball must not exceed five
inches in diameter, but may be
any weight or size under this.
The foul line rule under
which the Won DreeIe and
StOnebreaker records we're
diSallOwed was strictly en-
forced.
doc" Sullivan was the Wash
tngton's eagle eye foul-line judge,
while the Connecticut Stars had
q man whose name escapes us
at present. Three fouls were
called on the Connecticut Stars
in the course Of the team match,
and all three fell to the lot Of
the Yankee foul man.
The Writer. who was the Of
3icial scorer appointed by Leo
Rinaldi for the Grand Palace
team, having familiarized himself
with the National rules. checked
ever the lay out as best he could
and can state that other than
the fact that the Charter Oak
alleys are old and StIop-worn,
they meet with all the require
mentS laid down in George
Iseman'S little green book.
The game was rolled one frame
at time, and the players roll
on their proper alleys and in
turn. All fly-backs and roll
aroundS. though more numerous
than on local alleys, were within
the official specifications.
Joe Harrison and Warren
Saunders kept watch on the pin
spotting end and stated all was
satisfactory. The duckpinS used
were regulation according to
measurements and type.
TO the knowledge of those who
participated and officiated at
the match the foul line was the
required distance Of so feet from
the head-pin spot and the pin
spots were twelve inches apart.
The National Duckpin Congress
Is particularly anxious regarding
the enforcement of the foul line
rule and it has been on this
basis that a great number of
records have been disallowed, but
the congress has absolute faith
in the ability and experience of
doc" Sullivan whose association
with the duckpin game has been
long and meritorious.

views, who is the main
spring of the national body,
he cOnfided to Pop HALEY
that the Charter Oak alleys
met the standard require
mentS in every way. This
was q few days before the
match.
Perhaps it will be appropriate
TO quote the rule on describing
the regulation alley requirements
word for word:
"a regulation alley shall not
be less than II and shall not ex-
ceed a inches in width, and
shall have a run back of the foul
line Of at least is feet. The spots
on the alley shall be IL inches
apart from center to center"
I'm the playing of match
games, a line shall be drawn
across the alley and cutters and
continued upward at right angles
ut each end, If possible, the
center point of which line on the
alley shall be so feet from the
center Of the headpin spot"
These are rules 3 and s and
rule 8, which Is too long to quote
here, but can be found in George
IsemaI1'S little green book, are
those governing the specifications
for alleys, and in none of these
are there any description of any
type Of gutter requirements.
