INVENTION ERASES
ALIBI OF BOWLERS
Electrical Device Makes Certain
Naples Are Squarely in Their
Right Places.

HELENA, Mont. (P.-Bowlers are
about to lose their number one alibi:
THE pins weren't spotted properly"
J. r. Kaiserman and Art Merkle Of
Helena have invented system that
takes all the guesswork out Of spot
ting.
With pins i'm the proper places an
electric circuit is made. This circuit
Is connected with triangle and in
the triangle are 10 lights to represent
each pin. Each pin on the bowling
alley has an electrical connection 50
delicate that If the pin is of frac-
tion Of an inch the light to which
1t ia connected fails to burn.
When the bowler knocks down a pin
the light goes out. Thus the device
not only is referee to settle disputes
between player and pinsetter over the
setting Of pins but it also is an auto
matte scorer. The lighted triangle can
be placed on the wall in sight Of both
players and spectators.
The inventors claim the appliance
does not change the weight of the pins
nor does 1t interfere with the free
movement Of pins and balls.

Sand Wedge Makes Bunker

By WALTER McCALLUM.

The sand wedge, golfs automatic

with Fred Mcleod, the little Scots
man at Columbia, who learned the art
Of bunker play when it was an art.
'The game has gone to the dogs"
said Freddie, when see fellows like

club-no doubt Of that-but I don't
think it has any place in game of
skill. which golf certainly is. Sure, I
realize that it has made out of bunker
play something almost automatic; that
most golfers no longer fear the traps.
But l also think our modern golfers
miss the thrill Of one of the finest
shots in the game-the cut shot with
the niblick out Of the sand.
Freddie Disdains 1t.
You wouldn't expect to find in the
golf bag OF an old-timer like Mcleod
anything remotely resembling the sand
wedge. And you won't. Freddie
wouldn't be seen carrying one. He
still plays bunker shots with a little
mashie-niblick of the same model he
has used for 80 years.
These modern golfers are sissies,"
Mcleod continued. They say the
wedge has cut the scoring average a

It's more than that. But I'd like to
see them play out of some of the
British bunkers without the wedge.

Immediately raked like our traps in
America. Some of our boys would
have a sweet time getting out of those
holes IN the sand without the wedge.

see the boys who really know how to
play golf and golf shots back in the
saddle again.

but they make the ball hop backward
with the spin they can put on with
that club. The weight of the thing
and the loft make it about as close
to an automatic club as any I ever
have seen. I think we should wash
out the wedge and have new deal in
bunker play"

Jeannette made no comment. He

saw anything like it. McVey would
hit him. and he'd go down. He'd get
up, and McVey would knock him down
again. Thirty-two times. I never saw
anything like it. Joe would come back
to his corner, and I'd talk to him, and
he wouldn't say word. 1 didn't

Of the 40th round. he snapped his
1ngers. He said, Dan, what's going
on here?' said, you're taking the
mother and father Of an awful licking,
Joe. Do you want to go on?' He said
Yes, I feel good now. What's the
round?' I told him 40, and he said,

Then he went after that McVey.
He knocked Sam down in the 44ta,
and Sam got up and came in to
wrestle little and said, 'Geez, Joe,

You don't have to take McKetrick's
unsupported word for it that Jeannette
was one of the Ave or six greatest
fighters Of all time. Other timers
will tell you the same thing They
rate him the peer of Jack Johnson.
Maybe Joe was little easier to hit
than the master parrier from Gal
weston, but not much. He was cute
And he was good deal stronger than
johnson.
To be sure, Mister Jeanette fought
at a period when colored fighters wore
handouts as regular part of their
ring haberdashery. He did not take
many wholehearted dives. for Joe had
self-respect, and the outright plunge
was distasteful to him. But he didn't

have been healthy to do so.
