There are thousands of alleys
scattered throughout the country,
many of the smaller towns boast
ing of four or more and those
taking part in the bowling game
numbers in the thousands.
There are many in the game to-
day who do not realize that it is
the oldest of the present day
sports and that it was played long
before we ever heard of basket
ball, football or even archery
In every sport, it is possible to
trace it's origin back to three
prime factors in civilization and
directly to the law of survival of
the fittest.
From the necessity of obtaining
food came the hunt and its allied
by-products. At first serious
venture, hunting and fishing de-
veloped into a sport when food
was more easily obtainabIe
through cultivation.
Archery Not Forgotten
When the need for the use of
bow and arrow ceased, archery
was not forgotten. Sailing still
remains a sport although the
ocean liner has taken the place of
the sailing ship for commerce and
travel.
From the wars evolved the
various sports tending toward
the development of strong
muscles and hardy, healthy
bodies. Religion also played a
great part in the bringing forth
Of such athletic games as gym
naSticS, caliSthenics and others
that can be traced back to the
terpiSchorean rites used in many
of the early religious ceremonies.
In the beginning. all sports
were used only as a means of
perfecting the participant in the
methods of obtaining food, in
skill at attack and defense in
war, and in attaining perfect
rhythm in the gyrations of the
religious dances. 1t, also helped
to create accuracy and developed
a keen sense of vision.
A Necessity
OF a necessity, sports, or exer,

held only in favorable seasons
as there was no good reason for

The way Lorraine GULL and Joe

should be among the leaders
when the 10 best District duck
Primers are chosen at the conclu-
sion of the campaign.
Miss GULL boasts the highest
individual average in two Of the
foremost ladies' leagues in Wash

average in both the Ladies Dis
trict and the Washington Ladies
leagues.
incidentally. since Miss GULL
has been rolling in the above
loops she has always led the field
in individual average.
Lorraine is a valuable member
of the league leading Rosslyn

WOmenS League, major lauleS'
inter-city league. She tops her
team in average with 1927.
FreSchi'S rise to fame is SenSa-
tional. Last year he was pretty
good bowler but not enough to
warrant national recognition de-
spite the real fact he was picked
by the National Duckpin Bowling
Congress as the twentieth best
duckpinner in the land. This
year he has been going like a
house afire. FreSchi won The
Washington Times Mems Dixie
Sweepstakes, one of the major

Held
To Draw in
Soccer Battle

One Of the best soccer games
of the season was played here yes
terday by Mitchell Brothers and
Littoria and fittingly ended in a
draw, each side scoring once.
After both goalkeeperS had been
tested in the early minutes, the
game moved tasty from end to
end, both sets of fullbacks being
very reliable. Taking advantage
of a slip by a Littoria defender,
Louis Mitchell worked himself into
a scoring position and notched the
opening goal, but Littoria imme-
diately equalized, a characteristic
shot by Mike Avon completely
beating Harding. This was mid
way through the first half, and
for the remainder of the game
play see-Sawed from goal to goal.
Sun Radio triumphed easily over
Occoquan, and Silver Spring de-
feated Sabaudia in a well-foughU
game.
The national amateur cup game
at Benning ended disastrously for
the local Heurich Brewers team,
the Cantons of Baltimore winning
by the lop7Sided score of 11-3.
There was nothing during the
first IS minutes of the game to
presage the overwhelming defeat,
each team then having scored
once, the Heurich equalizing goal
being the result of spectacular
footwork by Balnch and which
started a great siege of the Canton
goal by the Heurich forwards,
hopes for a local victory running
high at this stage. Then suddenly
the action moved to the other
end, where three Canton goals
were flashed through before the
interval, giving the visitors Al
lead, which they widened in the
second half,

climeS, the need of relaxation in
healthy exercise of the body
brought about the need for strenu-

It is worthy of note that bowl
ing was one of the first sports to
go indoors. The first match on an
enclosed alley is mentioned in
William Fitz Stephens Survey Of
London" as having taken place
in that city, some time during the
twelfth century. That is going
back nearly eight centuries, or a

there was any mention of court

Duckpins is a queer game, but
it was left up to colorful Tony
Santini to turn in the queerest
twist of them all.
After seven long years, in which
he won many major honorS, the
District Italian duckpin crown fl
nally rests on Tony'S marmoreal
brow. but not one sou of prize
money jingles in his jeans. In
fact it costs him SIS, the entry fee.
Santini turned in the highest set
from scratch, but the payoff was
in high handicap score, and as
there were only three prizes, San
tini's fifth place didn't count at
the cashiers window. In fact,
Tony'S brother. Otto, finished
ahead of him, placing fourth with

Tiny Guido Trili, of Lido Civic
Club, knows how it feels to be
king for a day. "Wee-Wee," as
his friends call him, finished early

and everyone congratulated him,
but Santini, rolling late, beat him
out for the title. though Trilli

Rinaldi was we'll pleased with Sec

ADVERTISING INCREASE
SMALLER THAN USUAL
By the Associated Press.

Dy IHo hSSOCldtcQ FIcSS
NEW YORK, October 1S.-Printers
Ink reported today that actual news
paper advertising lineage increased in
September from August, but that the
magazines index declined to 75.5 per
cent of the l928-32 average in Sep
tember from 1876 per cent the pre-
vious month.
In September, 1884, the index was
at 71.8.
September newspaper advertising
normally registers a pickup over
August and, although actual lineage
for September CT this year exceeds
August, the decline in the adjusted
index shows that the gain for Sep
temhsr is smaller than the normal
seasonal increase" it said.
