DOWN TENPIN LANE-BuSy
days are ahead for men and
women tenpinners in the area.
With the majority of local
mems teams having rolled in
the nationals at Buffalo, the
tenpinners will turn their at
tention to the Washington City
Association tournament. which
opens Saturday afternoon at
River Bowl.
Meanwhile, the local distaff
tenpinners are awaiting their
mass movement to Memphis
for the Women's international
tournament now in progress
there.
The schedule for area teamc
In the Women's International
calls for most of them to roll
their team, doubles and singles
matches April 20, 80 and May 1.
The Washington ladies are
really whooping it up for their
jaunt to Memphis. The local
delegation may turn out to be
one of the most colorful to
compete in the 1868 event.
They have hired a number
of buses to transport them to
the site of the tourney and
plan to array them with identi-
flying banners. The local ladies
also will wear high Uncle SAM
type hats of red, white and
blue to further distinguish
them while competing in the
event.
OF course, there is a purpose
in all this, as Mrs. Beatrice
Bonnie, secretary of the WASH
ington Women's Bowling Asso-
citation, readily admits.
The Washington delegation
is preparing to make q bid fol-
the nationals here in 1867, and
the fanfare it is making is part
of the groundwork 1t will lay
in Memphis.
The local bowling associa-
ton won't be eligible to hole
the nationals until 1867, anc
its real bid for the tourna-
ment will be made next yeal

Five ScOre-Raising Tips
Here are some general tips
which might raise your bowling
average:
/. Use a right-side angle in
shooting for strikes. 1t takes
a pretty powerful hook or curve
to strike from q left-side angle.
2. You're better off hitting
the nose than missing the head
pin entirely. You can carry a
nose hit for a strike. Also,
you're Just a fraction Of an
inch off target when you 60 in
on the nose.
8. Always try for a strike hit.
Don't try to play safe and keep
the bali away from the head
pin. Your strike delivery Is
normal. Stick with it.
4. Don't worry about over
practicing.
S. Get the ball out and over
the foul line, as we illustrate
Dropping it on the approach
can rob the bali Of much Of its
stuff.

plain of marathon In Greece to
Athens.
Pheidippides was q dispatch
runner for the victorious Athe-
Man and Plataean armies.
which had Just scored q great
war victory over invading Per-
slams. Athenian Gen. Miltiades,
afraid the Persian ships would
flee up the coast and attack
Athens, sent Pheidippides, who
had just returned from carry
ing dispatches to Sparta, off to
Athens.
Pheidippides made it, cried,
Rejoice, we conquer" to the
Athenians, and fell dead.
Foreign Runners Dominate
The Hopkinton- Boston Mar
athon has become one Of the
greatest track challenges in the
world. Foreign runners have
dominated the winners list for
years. The race has been won
by Japanese, Koreans. Firms,
Indians, Canadians, Germans
and Guatemalans.
Winners have ranged in age
from 10 to AZ. In 1884, Dave
Kemonen, a cobbler, fashioned
his own running shoes and won.
The 1919 winner, Carl Linder,
had been rejected by the Army
in World War I for flat feet.
McDermott, the first winner,
had a mile lead-biggest ever.
Tim Ford, in 1906. squeaked
home six seconds ahead of his
closest rival for the highest
finish.
The widest story told about
the grueling run, however, Is
how Tom Longboat, a 19-year-
old Indian from Hamilton, Ont,
beat a freight train to a grade
crossing in 1907 and left all
the other runners waiting at
the gate.
That story has been embroi-
dered a bit over the years.
lLongboat did beat the train,
but so did IL other runners.
The No. 2 man that year had
to wait from one to two min
utes for the train to pass. But
he finished 315 minutes behind
iILongboat and thus wouldn't
have won anyway.

New Gauge Aids
Saw Sharpening
BY D. M. DERWIN
Stor Special Writer

A sharp saw makes any
cutting task easier, but a dull
saw can not only ruin a Job
but double the time required.
Sharpening saws in the
ordinary manner is a tricky
Job because 1t requires very
careful control Of the file and
It Is almost impossible to get
all the teeth alike. OF course
there are a few who can do
this with accuracy, but 1t is
q very difficult task for the
average person.
Now available is a saw filler
which does a precision Job of
sharpening saws without the
use of bulky or expensive
equipment. The new filler
automatically controls the
height, pitch, bevel and
depth, the maker says. It also
spaces teeth uniformly, which
is essential for precise sharp
ening. o.
The filing tool is part of a
kit which includes a gauge,
file-holder, 6-inch triangular
file with a screw-on handle

instructions.
The gauge can be adjusted
for sharpening, retooling with
the file at right angle to the
sawblade, or 1t can be ad-
justed up to a 25-degree an
gle for crosscut filing, regard
less of point size. The gauge
is supported on the saw by
extension supports on both of
its ends. These supports sit
in the nearest outlets of the
saw, thus keeping 1t from
shifting in either direction.
The gauge also acts to keep
the teeth evenly spaced and
to support the filing unit so
it won't 60 beyond the pre-
Scribed depth.
