PERMANENT
STAND SEEN
LOCALLY

Bowling is the real game Of
participation. according to Wv.
Thompson, Chicago bowling pro-;
moter. who has just returned !.
from tour Of California and the
Northwest. g..
The enthusiasm and increase
in the number Of bowlers has
fully convinced Thompson that
nothing will take the place OF
bowling as a permanent. health
full and fascinating exercise.
Mr.. Thompson bases his views
on the interest in bowling over
that Of the outdoor recreation
games, where much competition
has been offered. He says:
1--WE have now and always
have had outdoor competition
with bowling. Most of IL has
been . fad, or novelty: here
today, gone tomorrow. Bowl
ing has lived and grown until
there is now no sport so wen
organized, and with as many
participants.
"These forms Of novelty
recreation are helpful, however,
to bowling, on the theory that
any game that creates the de-
sire to play and secure exercise
will add recruits to the ranks
Of bowling when the partici-
pants commence to study
which of the games will be
most beneficial to them In their
quest for healthful pleasure"
Thompson brings out that an
indication of the increase In the
bowling business is seen from re-
ports of the American Bowling
Congress and other bowling asso-
Citations. These show that there
are now 10000 buildings,
churches, clubs, fraternal organ
izationS and industrial establish
ments occupied by bowling alleys.
It is estimated that the general
average is eight alleys to each
place. This means that there are
16O, 600 bowling alley beds IN OPP
Grafton. Figuring the cost Of In
Stallation and all accessories,
there is about $256 ,000, 600 Ia
alleys alone. Adding to this the
investment in factories and mate
rials used, also the vast sum in
vested in Mineralite balls, thou
sands of which are used, another
million dollars can be added.
Many other items used in conllec.
ton with the operation bring the
figure close to $4,000, 900.
It is conservatively esti-
mated that each bowling alley d,
averages in receipts S6 per
day. This would make the
daily receipts $3.50, 900 per day
or S229, ,52O, 900 for the year,
not including Sundays.
From the above figures. Thomp-
son believes that they show posi-
tive proof that there is more
money invested in the bowling
game than in any other sport.
Also that it is further proof that
the game will continue its re.
markable growth and keep its
place among the few permanent
forms of recreation.
Bowling is not only the oldest
and most popular indoor sport,
but it is becming a more scien",
tific game every day, even though
it still retains enough Of the
luck element to make it fasci-
mating. There is no other sport
which offers the same induce.
ments, sociability and good fellow
ship as bowling. That is why SO
many folks are bowling every day
and finding it most entertaining.
