teresting in more ways than one.
It ranges all the way from the most
whimsical Haines comedy material

a sweetheart ashore in port. and

Rocky Mountain records?"

'WeLl, SalQ Gne Ola Timer,
Rocky Mountains Is about the
way I'd describe the alleys we
bowled on Is years ago. It was
hard to tell where the alleys
stopped and the cutters began
In fact, there were cutters all
over the alleys. And shooting
with square balls Is q tough
proposition.
"Of course, they started out as
round ones, but after three or
four years worked down to as
sorted sizes.
"The reason they gave up
wooden balls was that they be-
came so Clipped a guy didn't
dare use 'ern for fear Of getting
splinters in his hand.
And lot of the alleys weren't
heated to any extent so that with
water. dripping through the roof
and freezing on the alleys, you
had to bust through icebergs to
reach the pins"
How would you figure the
Rocky Mountain averages?"
I'D take a representative
bowler like Pop Evans" said the
Old Timer. Pop is, with the
possible exception Of Harry Nc
Quinn, the worst natural bowler
I ever saw.
"He has no aptitude for
the game. Fifteen years ago,
when he was at his best, his
normal average without prac-
tice was around 10.
BY truly amazing perseverance
and practice he always pulled it
up to around 100 and on good
years to 1O3 or 104. Well, he is
now averaging 110 without prac-
tice. Say that he was 10 pins
better Is years ago than he is
nova very reasonable assump-
tion-that means that he could
have done 12O without practice
with this modern equipment.
His average without practice
with the equipment of Is years
ago being 20 and with modern
equipment 12O, you can see that
the. difference Is exactly so pins
a game. So the Rocky Mountain
averages"
Would be 50 pins O game
better than the modern?"
That's c o OnservRtive,"
agreed the Old Timer. "Juleg
Riston, who roots for as every
Thursday, shot the first 100
set back In 1914-it was
really 4O4.
Under modern conditions, then,
Jules has o record set Of 554.
Dave Mccarthy shot o game of
1872 to open the National Capitol's
season in 191O-or 232 under
modern conditions. And Harry
Krause was averaging around ia
10 years ago-meaning a present.
day average of 1874, or o five
game total Of $40.
And yet you talk about 665
sets! In 1917 the Royals trimmed
the Palace quint 623 to 6l3-I
mean 673 to 863-"
"A game Of S73! It couldn't
happen-it would. be impos.
sible-"
"1mpossible!" shouted the Old
Timer. why, you poor fish,
that Is what the bowlers of IS
years ago were doing every night

Mahoney'S duties carry him into

The decision of this city to
