This means that when we are

a manner that we assist him.
IL means too. that at least six

should give the driver his chance TO

Far over on hillside
A mothers sons asleep
And beside his tombstone
A weary mother weeps
She looks so old and tired
With her head grooped very low
As she kneels TO say prayer
After a pause. she rises 10 20.
Away from the gloomy hillside
She trudged so slowly on
But often she comes to the mount
AZ the break OF every dawn.

By ANDY VARIPAPA Famous Bowling Authority

4.--CURVE BALLS: There comes a time in every bowler's early career when he wants to learn to throw and control the hook CT curve. This is a difficult delivery to master and much practice is necessary before the bowler can achieve a near perfection. Once the bowler has mastered the hook, he will enjoy the game more be- cause a strike is achieved easier with this style of ball. A hook gives the pin more action than the straight ball.
 To roll a hook the ball must be released with the thumb facing the left las shown in the illustra- tion) and with the thumb leav- ing the ball first and the finger or fingers last, This results in the ball spinning down the alley and breaking to the left. Of course the opposite holds true for left handed bowlers.
 Concentration is important in bowling Experiment in open play rather than in competition. After you have mastered the release of the ball, put in plenty of practice.
