At last, the low-down from the
high-up regarding definite duck
pin details and datas galore on
bowling in general and records
particularly.
Two types Of maple-drives are
IN popular use which comply with
all the regulations laid down in
the National Duckpin Congress
rules, but, owing to differently con-
structed cutters slightly higher
scores result on one type than on
the other.
In New England States, with
over 10000 alleys, the rounded gut
terS are used, while in the Gen.
tral-South Atlantic region the gut
ters are square. The rounded
cutters are practically one inch
narrower and shallower than the
square gutter.
The result is that more pins are
swept down, better breaks are
made through fly-backs and roll
arounds and by the pins that are
driven down the narrower cutters
sweeping away No. Z and 10.
After painstaking research and
experimenting George 1seman
definitely established that scores
average three pins higher on the
Northern drives than on our own.
Brad Mandley, who aver
aged 119 for last season In
Washington would have
totaled q 122, and Bill TatO,
who has about 122 to date
In the Waterbury Industrial
League, would have y 119
on our alleys.
Subjected to a steady, un-
elackening bombardment Of new
records achieved on both types
of alleys, each backed with ur1-
impeachable affidavits required
by the congress and clamoring
Justify for recognition, the super
latively competent and resource
full George Iseman gracefully and
unperturbedly resorted to the
simple and sensible expedient Of
officially establishing two sets
of allztime records. The uncanny
Sagacious grand viZier Of the
little splint game thus proved
himself without fear or favor
and satisfactorily answered 8
most vexatious problem.
In the future all hardwood
duckpin records will be categor-
lied under two heads, the New
England rounded gutter records
and the CentralSouth Atlantic
square gutter records. Both will
be undisputed world marks, the
difference being that which exists
between the 1871 and the 1872
balk-ltne billiards. Both are the
same game, but distinctly differ
nr1t because Of measurements, and
records are kept apart.
This arrangement will continue
RIntil the majority Of the bowling
enthusiasts have definitely de-
cided which type Of game they
"Name your game, boys and
girls" says the hard-driving
George, ''and take your good and
easy time about it. Two or three
or even four years will be time
enough!" Having gotten this off
his chest, the fast-flying secretary
grabbed his little black Satchel,
hoped a~rattler and was away to
stimulate some distant and lethar-
qic point of his Duckpin Empire
The disputed Harrison
Siye.game set becomes the first
all.time New England rounded
gutter record, whereas Barney
Spinella's 708 remains the Cen
tral-South all-time. square-gutter
record, thus two records bloom
where only one grew before.
It also looks as If Harrison.
Rosenberg's 805 three game total
and 1872 five game total will win
official recognition as the an-time
Central-South Atlantic records.
