CorI. Coin, Exc
By Lewis F. Atchison

Ever hear of Charley Daw of
Milwaukee, the fellow who rolled
a 2991s score in tenpins?" asked
Carl j. Cain. ITS true. He got
II strikes and the twelfth ball
split a pin and left half of it
standing.
"Or how about Harry Steers
rolling a ball under a black cat at
Chicago and getting a strike?
Accidental, of course, and the cat
hasn't been seen since"
After two decades Of tub
humping for the people who
manufacture bowling and billiard
equipment, Cain who is visiting
his daughter here, has settled
down in Omaha, Nebr., where he
is employed in the Alcohol Tax
Unit of the Government. And
for the first time in his life is
enjoying the sport he used to
help publicize. 1t was in Omaha
in 1903 at the tender age of 8
that Cain bowled his first tenpin
game, and it was there 43 years
later that he rolled his first per-
feet game-the ambition of every
tenpiner.
That's a story, too, because a
toothache almost kept him off the
alley. He was scheduled to roll in
the Nebraska State tournament
team match Saturday night with
singles and doubles scheduled
the next day, but he came down
with an abcessed tooth.
II couldn't get a dentist and I
tried to withdraw to keep from
hurting the teams chances" he
said. But all the good bowlers
already were in the tournament
50 I had to bowl. Funny thing.
when we checked into the hotel
they assigned me to room No. 300.
I held up the key to the folks
in the party and said, Look,
here's my score
I'VE got through the team
match all right, but that night
I couldn't lay down, the tooth
hurt so bad. If I sat up and
drank cold water it was all
right, so I did that. Next day

ner. He carried a 200-average
and had a chance of winning,
but he only said to do my best
and I did. Had 189 the first
game, 400 the second and 300
the third. My partner shot
534, and he was Is pins better
than me on an average. We

missed the State title by % pins.
"It was the second time in
my life I shot a 600-set without
a 200 score"
For his 300 game Cain re-
ceived a. gold ring from the
American Bowling Congress, a
badge of merit that few keglers
wear. Perfect scores are tough
enough to get, but only those
made in sanctioned tournaments
and other official events count.
There have been only eight or
nine. Cain wasn't sure which,
in the national tournament.
How does it feel when a man
is on his way to a 300 score?
Cain said he was so concerned
with his tooth he didn't give
darn, except to make a respect
able score for his partners sake.
About the tenth frame I
realized how close 1 was to that
official 300," he related, land
started to freeze. I've seen bowl
ers with one strike to 60 who
actually froze and couldn't throw
the ball, and I felt myself be-
ginning to get that way. Then
I thought about Mrs. McCutch-
cons answer to the question Of
how she felt with a 300-game
in her reach. She rolled every
ball as if it was the first. That's
what I did and the first, re-
member, was strike"

NBA Will Study Effect
OF Video on Boxing,
Seek Slice Of Money

A meeting of the National Boxing
Associations Executive Committee
will be held in Washington next
month to discuss the future re-
lationship of boxing to television.
Boxing leaders are concerned over
drop in attendance due, they believe,
to video. Fears even have been ex-
pressed that the smaller clubs
eventually will fold because of COM
petition from television. That
might lead to folding of even the
larger clubs because talent for their
shows are developed in the smaller
establishments.
A drop in boxing attendance has
been experienced in many cities
served by television, even on nights
when local matches are not tele-
vised. It is believed that persons
who ordinarily attend fights are at
home or in bars watching either the
fight shows or other entertainment
offered on fight nights.
That has been the experience in
Washington. Attendance at Turner'S
Arena shows, which are televised,
has dropped off, but also a drop
from normal has been experienced
at Liberty A.C. shows at Uline Arena
which are not televised.
Boxing commissions throughout
areas served by television are con-
cerned about television because it
has cut into their percentage take
from gate receipts. That percent
age-10 per cent in the District
is used to pay referees, inspectors
and commission office personnel. II
gate receipts continue to drop, they
see an eventual day when their per-
centage cut will not pay expenses.
On the agenda at next months
meeting will be discussion of meth
ods to cut boxing commissions in
on the pay that boxing promoters
receive from advertisers sponsoring
television shows of boxing matches.
Two jurisdictions. New York and
New Jersey, already take S per
cent cut of this and similar moves
are planned elsewhere.
Heinie Miller, chairman of the
District Boxing Commission, thinks
that it might be possible under the
present law here to get a cut OF
television's guarantee to promoters.
That point hasn't been tested. 1t
is likely that the local commission
will seek an addition to the law at
this session of Congress that will
give them specific authority to take
such q cut.

same company that employed
Cain and was the greatest
woman tenpinner of all time.
Cain had managed tours for the
late Jimmy Smith and when
reports reached headquarters of
this feminine flash Smith was
sent to check on them.
He didn't send in a report"
Cain relates. Just sent us the
scoresheets. He had 686 and Mrs.
McCutcheon 703, and Jimmy was
the greatest bowler in the world"
A report recently came out of
Detroit about one vi Mikeal
rolling an all-time high Of 803
for a 3-game set for women. but
Cain says Detroit officials haven't
heard, or simply forgot, that Mrs.
McCutcheon rolled 1872 at Morris,
Mimi, some years ago. It's an
unofficial record, for hers was
an exhibition appearance at the
opening of a new alley.
Cain organized bowling schools,
sponsored by various newspapers,
throughout the country, for the
lady, Smith and other topnotch-
ers, and drew crowds as large
as 5000 in metropolitan areas to
as few as 80 in less heavily pop
ulated regions. Exhibition bowl
ing was secondary to the instruc-
tion offered by the stars and the
schools, he thinks, added to the
games popularity. Mrs. McCut-
cheon was not a colorful figure
but her charm and grace, and
ability to speak to audiences was
a major factor in their success.
Cain. oddly enough, has done
more bowling since disassociating
himself from his publicity post
than ever before.
But I'll still tell you it has
more devotees than any other
sport excepting possibly fishing
and you can't count fishermen
gives you more and better exer-
else than most sports and has
appeal for every one"
