Of holes and pitch" are to be con-
sidered. Unless the span between
the thumb and finger holes is
properly spaced to fit the hands,
it is impossible to carry the ball
to the foul line and release it
easily and correctly.
When the span is too wide, the
muscles of the hand are strained
causing discomfort; If it is too
narrow it is not possible to hold
the ball without pinching it to
prevent it from dropping before
it is placed at or beyond the foul
line. The size Of the finger holes
is equally important. When holes
are too large it is difficult to hold
the ball without undue pressure:
when they are too small the fling
ers soon become irritated, torn
and scraped because the fingers
expand after a few balls are rolled.
Besides being uncomfortable, tight
