- CORE another victory for the N.
d. B. C. and George Isemann!
That the National Duckpin
Bowling Congress. to which the
eion.s share of the credit for the ad-
yancement of the pin sport rightfuly
belongs. still is making strides toward
uniformity in intercity matches ana
tournaments is evinced when an eX-
ec,,tiye of one of the strongest duckpin
loops in the country, the New England
League, sent the following letter 10
George L. Isemann, secretary OF the
n. ID, B. c.. who was largely mstru-
mental in turning the latest trick:
Il am very glad to inform you that
the New England League met and voteo
to roll by the National Duckpin Bowl
ing Congress rules In every way. nave
done a little work to put this over ana
would desire very much to obtain per-
mission to call this league the National
Bowling Congress Northern and South
ern New England League. have
talked with Mr. Ernest Turcott tmem.
Der of the Executive Committee) about
this and he said that you would grant
us this II we rolled as per N. d. b. G..
rules Hoping this will meet with your
satisfaction, remain,
VERY truly yours,
Prank T. EnglebroOk.
asp. s. Your letter to Mr.. E. Wiley
(president of the N E. League and my
talk with Mr.. Turcott did the trick"
1t may be remembered that last year
the intercity match between WASH
inEJon and Hartford almost fell through
when each team insisted on rolling the
no1 m "a
local aggregation. captained by Howard
Campbell, rolled as per rules-namely,
one box at a time. The Northerners
had been rolling two boxes ON the same
alley. which makes quite a difference.
For many years, New England PIN
men have claimed they are at disad-
vantage when bowling against rollers
belonging to the N. D. B. c., because
of these rules.
So George Isemann, sensing a job
for the N. d. B. c., went work with
his usual will. He wrote 10 Wiley,
president of the New England League
requesting the change to the regulation
rules as the Providence League had
done. And now everything is all right
TSEMANN deserves plenty of credit
i for the success of these intercity
matches and tournaments. 1t was
Isemann who changed the drives
throughout Rhode Island and the
greater part OF Massachusetts, from the
old sandpaper type to the polished kind
used here.
Today, latest figures show that ex-
actly 30 per cent of the drives in these
two States are of the polished type,
which gives, for instance, q bowler
from California an even chance against
q Rhode Islander
nOUBTLESS this Standardization OF
~ the rules is a great step forward
and Is one thing that points TO
bigger seasons with the little naples
in future years.
That the game is progressing all the
time IS manifest by the fact that not
even the powerful New England League
was sufficiently large enough to take in
all the crack BOWERS. A new league,
with Turcott at its helm, is being
formed in Massachusetts, bearing the
name Of the National Duckpin Bowl
ing League. 1t promises to rival the
New England loop.
