The game, however, was not
killed. 1t was not even badly
wounded, for the people liked it
and for the most part they
planned laws until they were re-
pealed. 1t is true that some of
the Objectionable features were
ruled out of the game, such as
umpire batting and brawling
among the contestants and on
lockers. But it is of note that
even the reformers did not go so
far as to attempt to stop the
practice of drinking heavy aIes
and strong punches at the
greens" Neither was wagering

Became Tenpins
Soon after the game of nine
pins was stopped, it took in a
brother and the sport became
tenpins and legal. When nine
were used the setting was dia-
mond shaped but this was early
changed to the equilateral tri-
angle which is still used. Until
about 81 years ago, there was no
standardization of balls and
equipment. In general pins and
balls were used but set-ups varied
as did the size and length Of the
alleys in various sections of the
country. High scores were COM
mon for the pins were of greater
heft and length and fell before
the bowl of the player more
easily.
In 1875, a group of bowlers
representing various sections of
the country met in conference
and worked out a set of standard
regulations for equipment and
bylaws for the game. The idea
was good but nobody paid much
| attention to the newly-made rules
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1935-12-25

and regulations. Those that met
at the confab of 1875 called them
selves the National Bowling
League. They had officers and
committees and all that sort of
thing but precious little power.
In the East. for the next 20
years, the rules of the league
was followed fairly closely, but
in the West, the sky was the
limit. 1t was a mighty hard thing
to find any two alleys in the
West with like equipment. And,
as to playing rules, each alley had
a rule unto itself.
The American Bowling Con-
gress, present governing board of
all tenpin games in this country,
first saw the light of day only 40
years ago. It came into being in
1895 and by dint of hard and in
telligent work dragged the game
out of hodge-podge catch-as-
catch-can sport. and put it on a
sound footing, scientifically and
financially. Today, there are mil
lions of dollars invested in alleys
and equipment and the game
shows no sign of decreasing in
popularity.
Then Came Duckpins

baseball's famous figureS-Uncle
Wilbert Robinson and John j. Nc

team. TenpinS in those days were
featured strictly as a winter sport.
Leagues opened up the latter part
of September and closed around
the first of April. After the close
of the tenpin season, no leagues
were operated during the summer
months, although bowling contin-
ued in many of the alleys as a
matter of paSttime and amuse-
ment.
Packing their tenpin balls away
until the coming season, the
bowlers would amuSe themselves
with the 6-inch balls in rolling
cocked-hat, five back and New
port. Many of the players had be-
come expert at these games and
were able to deliver the ball with
such a terrific twist and control
that scores of from 48 to 68 were
often heard Of. 1t was during one
of these games that the converse
ton drifted to different ideas
and suggestions about bowling.
Frank Van SAINT, who was at that
time manager for the Diamond
Alleys, was drawn into the CONVEX
sation and some one suggested
that a set of tenpins be made over
into little pins to conform with
the 6-inch ball. A few days later
a set of tenpins we're sent to John
Dettmar. a woodturner in the CITY.
About 10 days later, Van SAINT,
finding all the regulars in the alley,
puffed in with a burlap bag over
his shoulders and dumped the
ducks" into their midst.

Santa Leaves
Gifts For
Cards
By FRANK buck" O,NEnL

The stockings of the Catholic
University football eleven were
hung by the chimney with care
last night, and sure enough, st.
Nicholas arrived on time. The
patron saint of this festive season
left gold footballs for Irish Car
roll, Joe Anthonavage and Captain
Ed "Popeye" Karpowich. These
young stalwarts were selected by
the local coaches on the all-Dis-
trict team.
It was a night of merriment
and festivity for the Flying Card
inals who practice tomorrow and
Friday before fitting off to
Miami on Saturday afternoon.
Fod Cotton forgot his dignity
and dressed as Santa Claus.
Dutch Bergman, Catholic Univer-
sity's top hand coach was master
of ceremonies, and everything was
happy. The boys gave Fod their
lists in approved style and re-
ceived the promise of st. Nick'S
assistant that everything would
be as ordered. Here were some Of
the orders:
A Few Xmas Orders
Dutch Bergman: A third touch
down if C. U. needs it.
'Popeye": A hard tackle when
it's fourth and two yards to go.
Irish" Carroll: A 30-yard run
(from Ole Miss 30-yard line)
whenever needed.
Bob Makofske: Just two yards
in the pinch.
Joe Yanchulis: A forward pass
in the flat with the paSser tackled
behind the line.
George Mulligan: A deep pass
with Schmarr around to take the
lateral.
Pete Dranginis: please, Santa,
give us that ball within striking
distance. Well do the rest"
Bill Adamitis: "Lemme hit that
end hard on every play. The ball
will do the rest ...
Weather a Worry
The Very Rev. Ignatus Smith
presided over the party last night
and wished the boys success on
their trip.
Bergman is much concerned
about the weather now. The
Cardinals need open weather to
give their legs the drive that has
been lost in the month of COM
parative inactivity. A football
team wins or loses on he legs Of
the linemen.
Unless the Cards are able to
get out and work hard to condi-
ton their legs, they're going to be

eventually man.
"As the late Joseph Darrell pointed

Their remote ancestors, by ccntin-

their jaws, teeth and limbs nearly on

 SHIPPING AID

WASHINGTON, April 5. = The outright government subsidy Presi- dent Roosevelt wants to give the shipping industry to place opera tors of the American merchant ma rine on a parity with foreign op- orators will increase ship construc- ton and bring back under the Am erican flag the patronage now giv- en to the more modern foreign vessels, South Trimble Jr., a de- partment of commerce attorney, de- clared today.
 He also said the question of old age security and other matters of personnel are necessary for an ade- quate merchant marine.
 After Karl A. Crowley, special at torney for the Postoffice Depart ment testified the Department feels the duty of administering mar inc subsidy should be given an agency familiar with commerce and shipbuilding, TT imble gave the House Merchant Marine Commit tee some suggestions as to how a Federal subsidy could be applied.
 He proposed the government give direct aid to the operator by a subsidy worked out on the basis of
