Today's $40 or "baby split"
is one which a right-handed
bowler sees pretty often If his
ball has a habit of coming in
too heavily on the head pin.
1t isn't to difficult to convert.
You should use the left-side
angle for this right-side split.
Release the ball to the left of
center and angle it out to the
right. You should aim for the
g pin (which isn't there, but
which is the spot just between
the 3 and 10 pins.) The ball
should hook back, striking the
3 pin on the right and deflect-
ing back into the 10 pin, as
shown in the picture.
That's the Surest way to
make this split-by hitting both
pins with the ball. Another ad-
vantage of aiming between
these two pins is that such a
ball is certain TO knock down
at least one.
Of course, it's possible to
convert this split by hitting
the 3 pin on the left and knock
ing it over and back into the
10.
Use the surer method.

Shakespeare character address,
ing Queen Elizabeth in Dark
Lady of the Sonnets": Have
you not been taught that in the
beginning was the Word? And
the Word was with God? Nay,
that the Word was God?"
Coming so quickly on the
heels of Charles Van Doren's
$500 words before the House
Legislative Oversight Undeed)
Committee, there was a more
arresting quality in Mr.. Shaw's
words than at least one spec
tator had ever noticed before.
The sugar-coating and the
message were suddenly in
separable and Mr.. Harris was
left dangling properly in mid
air.
MA
THE POINT: What Arenas
evening-with- Bernard shaw
chiefly demonstrates is two
things. One of these is that
when he flung aside drama
criticism as a career, he did
so to become critic of some
thing much larger, mankind.
The other is that, as he was
more well aware than anyone,
he did diminish if not demol-
ish himself in the new field by
being sa damnably amusing in
everything he said.
That Arenas excerpts from
Shaw, called "Shavings," is so
engaging is its charm; that it
could sting in so many of its
comments on the misuse OF
life is it's real fascination.
In his eloquent reformer's
zeal, Shaw thought this mis-
