DUCKPIN CHIEFS
OPPOSE DEVICES
TO STOP FOULING.

Transgression on that part OF
the bowling game which pertains
to the foul line, met with sharp re-
buttal from the executive commit
mittee of the Washington City
lDuckpin Association which met
last night at the Lucky Strike.
By a unanimous vote this august
body cast their disapproval Of any
friction stop or other mechanical
device in front or beyond the foul
line on any bowling alley.
AS a body they agreed that the
foul line is a hazardous part of the
game and pointed out that when
a foreign matter is placed at the
foul line to stop bowler from foul
ing it materially takes away an
integral part of the game. 1t
would correspond to removing foul
lines from a baseball diamond.
The committee then turned deaf
ears to the howls of the bowlers
who voiced protests on holding the
Howard Campbell Sweepstakes
over week-ends. The executive COM
mittee unanimously voted to rec
omend that all future Campbell
events be rolled on a consecutive
Saturday and Sunday.
To this end the committee up,
held a motion passed at the regu-
lar annual meeting of the associa-
tion to hold Washington's own
|duckpin classic on the dates named
at that time, January 90, 80 and
February 5.
