Open letter 10 George Bennett.
Dear MIR. Bennett Il have noticed
that you have changed from two
fingered ball the one which you
started bowling with some years
back. 10 ihrce-hngered ball 1t
seems that YOU got more pin action
with the threc-hngered one and
YOU seemed To- have more control
with it. Then up jumped you and
changed hack 10 two-fingers. and
even though sou did hi 7Si. the
highest score Of any Negro bowl
or. think that YOU would have
hecn better Off with the three
fingered ball and have consulted
bowling authorities and they have
the same contention that | have.
Now just Why did sou change? And
then. George. may congratulate
YOU and the rest OF your Rotary
Recreation team for the fine sports
manship you showed In canceling
the game with the Wyandotte five
after the second game had been
rolled and you were I'm front. Even
though one Of the fellows did re-
ceiye telegram that his mother
was dying you were ahead in the
game and more than two-thirds had
been bowlcd Then something else
YOU have been more than co-opera-
tive with me in my writing. never
failing 10 answer anything that /
asked son pertaining to bowling
want 10 give you all that is COM
ing 10 you so may steal a phrase
from friend and say Orchids 10
