BOWLING HIT BY SHORTAGE OF PINBOYS ms BUILT FASTER THAN PINSETTERS ME MED By R. D. Thomas These are prosperous days for pinboys. There's an acute shortage of them. So many new alleys have been opened this season that experienced pinsetters are not available for all. Bowlers are squawking more< than ever over poor setups. It hasn’t dawned on many that half the pits are being occupied by green pinboys or those who were themostinefficieht of the IflC/Wlieto. >insetters Were plentiful. ’ •,JPJ»e alley managers, -always up E<gafnst it for enough satisfactory ipinboys, are worried now. Each •cans his flock at the start of each .<ay fearful that a crack hoy has ■ deserted. There have been many Changes - lately in pinboy rosters. Pinboys earn 4 rents a Kame. Twenty years ago they were paid Ma week each. The industrious pinboy of today averages about 18 a week. His pay envelope sometimes will Include as much ■ t a*|Bo.™. ■ i They had a boy at- Convention Hall last fall named L.. Miller who Warned in one night. He was Sho fast ordinarily that many a bowler stopped at his alleys merely 1 .to watch him. He had regular ■patrons in members of the Bankers League. When the Bankers had a special match on they would accept no pinboy but Miller; «■ Peck Mathews, another Conven tion Hall pinsetter. has worked the syme two alleys, Nos. 9 and 10. Wince Jhe place* was opened four yearsago. Peck is more conscien tious tjhnn swift, but at that he's raster than the average. In his first season at the • hall he piled Up a bank account of S3OO. >- 1 L; \ ‘ ; Bowling alley managers say tfcat nine-tenths of the boys could add 25 per cent to their „ earnings by putting forth their fun efforts in the pit. Howard Campbell, of the Lucky Strike, tells of a whirlwind pin boy Whp worked for-him some years agv at the Recreation. His name Was?

It was necessary, for Gillison to sit -tip’ 2TS games xo makeMhat dough and, believe me, he hustled. “It was a one-ball game and this made it possible for him to do It. It- was remarkable speed. Gillison never made' a useless motion. He worked two alleys and he slid from one to the other so smoothly you’d have thought him something greased moving on a pivot. The pffis were set as fast as anybody crired to bowl.” i ,s If Earl Lewis bowls no more games in the ‘Consolidated Returnit League this season he will have the highest average of his 20 years of duckpins. His average is Ilf—for three games! Malcolm Watson, of is leading the big parade in the Masonic League with 114. Red Megaw may be a perma nent resident of Richmond, Va., now as manager of the biggest bowling alley there but he still K commands space in Washington newspapers. The former Con vention Hall and Arcadia crack recently established a Richmond record with a game of 163. His set was 386. Red is now a member of the Enos Motor Comnany team of Rich mond's Cap.iil City League. In amassing his tr. ord score he made six spares and a strike in succes sion, pulling or» monkey mark. Three strike . and four spares cave. Hip Heffelflnger, of the Allied Roofing team, the season's high game of the Athletic Club League— -165., Hip made fat counts on all but’Sne mark, a tenth box spare on which he got five extra maples. His other games were 98 and 123, making a set of 386. Heffelflnger’s powerful score en abled his team to set up a team game record for the season—634. Jt isn’t , likely that this will, stand THE WASHINGTON TIMES Fordham Lighter Since Running . Gflme Starts. According to Major Frank W. Cavanaugh, head coach of Pord ham's football destinies, the Maroon team Is getting lighter each game. ’ This is not due to the loss of weight suffered in the games, but to the lack of speed in the heavier men. The running game now being stressed by Coach Cavanaugh requires several line men leaving their posts to form the Interference. Thus, white the squad boasts of several 200-pounders, the Major is forced to insert lighter men Into the line to increase the speed. At present, the Maroon team averages a mere 171 pounds. The line averages 182, but, the brick field average Is under-160. up but it’s almost a cinch to figure in the prize money. ✓ The Joseph Phillips Company team is out front in the Athletic Club League and the dope says it will stay there. If Paul Harrison, young‘star of the District Doubles League, hadn t picked a 3-pln spare and blown a single, he would have had a score of better than 200 probably in a game at Convention HalJ* He marked in all the other frames and counted heavily; his score being 187. A triple-header strike featured the string. In a 2-game workout with Tommy Nolan the youngster had scores of 187 and 136. “I wish I’d saved that' big obe,” laughed Paul, who will pah- with Max Rosenberg in the District Doubles League tomor row night against Deputy and Benson, a formidable pair.

Dutch Weidmrin, of the King is in a streak of high scoring* was blgh man when his team trimmed a warm rival, the Meyer Davis quint, two games io one. Weidman's set was- 377. How ard Campbell, at anchor, stole the spotlight, however, by making a tenth-box strike that won th<j. sec ond game, 572 to 565. The Davin men took the first. 640 to 589 and the King Pins the third, 613 to 545. NORTHERNS IN TRIM Coach Matt Heard has his North ern A.'

And- there he will find a going that combines the best features of both Eastern and Western tracks. Resoiled from end to end a couple of seasons hack, the Bowie course is not only the best cushioned of Maryland courses now—if is the fastest. ; Records were broken there nearly eterr day last fall yet no horse of any age fell lame In the course of a meeting that ran 13 days. Dick Pending, track superinten dent under James F. O’Hara, has worked out a scheme for the treat ment of racing strips all other men of his calling ought to adopt. i Generally a resolled course be comes a bog in bad weather and it was predicted a year ago last fall that Bowie going would deepen a foot and become impossible of nego tiation after the first day of raip or the first freeze.
