Education to Be Brought to

WaShingtOn.-Attu. Americas very

office of Indian affairs, Department of
Interior, has provided for a building
and an American teacher in this re-

the extreme western end of the Aleu-

pupils will be native Aleuts.

THE early Russian fur traders who

GAME OF BOWLING
HAS LONG HISTORY
Popular in England in the
Twelfth Century.

The sport of bowling has a his
tory that dates back 700 years. That
history is little known in America,
where the game of stem pins" has
either deteriorated or graduated into
flourishing "duckpin" leagues.
But whether it be duckpins, played
with smaller balls and pins, and
dominated over by the National Duck
Pin Bowling congress, or ten pins,
nationally the most popular game.

runs a verse from 1.-THE Sqyer of Low
Degree" published in the Twelfth
century. And the game is probably
older than that.
In those dim beginnings, the balls
used were not round as they are to-
day, but were oblate spheroids, rolled
on one edge like wheel or hoop.
And the pins, shaped like bottle,
were taller and thinner than the
pins used now. Only nine of them
were needed.
Some time during the Sixteenth
century the game was imported to
America, and in the following CEN
fury obtained such foothold that
laws were enacted against it. But the
laws specifically mentioned "the
game of nine pins" Sportsmen have
ever known how to cope with the
Puritans. They added an extra pin,
called the game "ten pins" and kept
right on playing.
Many exciting games were played
in downtown New York, and Bowling
Green was a popular gathering place
in old Manhattan. The first record
of an indoor match seems TO have
been about January 1, 1910, when
one was played at the Knickerbocker
alleys, In New York city.
Not until 1875, however, was con-
vention held for framing rules for
the game, and not until 20 years
later did the American Bowling con-
gress bring the sport into something
approximating order. The National
Duck Pin Bowling congress is of
more recent vintage. 1t was organ
lied in September, 1927.
In the old days the game was
played out Of doors on a grass court
or "alaye" But there came rainy
days when the bowling enthusiast
wanted to try his hand. So indoor
alleys, crude. pinewood affairs at
first, came into being. in strange
contrast to the carefully laid alleys
of today.
