The 300-game bowled by George Pallage in : — Detroit was the seventh in the 40-year history of the American Bowling Congress. Since more than 2,000,000 games have been rolled in that period, the odds against the Akron tire company clerk as he faced the foul line can be computed with ease. No- body was paying any particular attention to this | mild-mannered, bespectacled man of 38 when he started the famous game on alleys 21 and 22. Every- where about him was the pleasant thunder of staccato noise that goes with bowling, Now all that a bowler need do to make 300 is to roll twelve balls in succession in such a way that all ten pins are knocked down each time. The trouble is that all conditions, including he laws of chance, conspire to make each strike harder to attain than the last. By the time Pallage had got ten strikes ‘the rumble of rolling balls was stilled as keglers THE HU \I.J E WANT AD on adjoining alleys halted and glanced toward alley e 22 Nothing could have been worse for him.

They had gone abroad each year for long periods before Wall finally found New York “impos- sible.” “Gone were the good old days when everybody knew everybody else, when people were charming’ and society was delightful” he said, “and when there were fewer colossal fortunes than the Ameri- cans now have.” He was speaking before the depression of 1929.
