JIMMY SMITH GIVES SOME VALUABLE POINTERS ON TENnPlN G
By BILLY EVANS
With football out of the waY. bowl-
ing will soon come into its own.
While the ten-pin artists have been
whaling aWay at the pins for several
weeks. the real rush to the alley starts
with the close of football and tire com-
ing of cool weather.
Do you bowl? If/not/ you are fail-
ing to take advantage of a great win-
ter pastime.
Like all other sports, proficiency in
bowling is largely a matter of iorm.
If you play golf you know there is
a. certain right and wrong way to
make the various shots. That go
for bowling. There is a. proper wa
to approach the foul line. a. correct
manner of holding the ball and let-
ting it go.
In golf one hears much of the fol—
low through, the proper stance. the
correct manner of holding the club
and swinging at the ball.
Form 'bfeans a Lot
1n bowling, if you are 1.0 make any
progress. you must first grip the ball
in the correct way. You must ap-
proach the foul line so that "when
the ball is started down the alley.
your position is such that the ball
will carry on a direct line for the
object at which you are. aiming. An
improper turn of the wrist, the
wrong foot forward as tho ball is
started down the alley and direction
is lost.
In golf the beginner is always
thinking of getting distance to his
drixes. in howling the novice feels
that he must get much speed on the
ball in order to ki. ocZ: over a flock of
pins.
There is much more to bowling
than the mere Miran-ing of the bail.
science plays a big part in success on
the bowling alleys.
Control Great Msct
In bowling. like baseball. control
is a most necessary asset. Every
truly great pitcher that I have um-
pired for in the majors has been,
strong on contiol.
Clirlsty \lailiewson. one of the
greatest pitchers that ever graced
Matty could fairly make the old pill
behave as he desired.
In my conversations with the great
pitchers of the game all have stressed
the importance of control. You must
get them over the plate. is the way
they put it . .
the same
It has been in howling.
Always the expert of the. bowling
alley dwells on the importance of
control hitting the head pin.
