Yet that is what Jimmy Smith, Mid- dle West bowler, is said to have done. Smith, rated as the world’s greatest tenpin expert, is accumulating a fortune with ease. according to a Pittsburgh bowling authority who seems to know what he is talking about. He declares that few of the high-priced base ball and prize-ring stars have anything on Smith in earning capacity in their favorite pursuits. The diamond has its Cobb and its|average bowler of each team in the futh getting big money.

But so far as known |several worthwhile prizes. none of the other topnotchers of base ball approach the $50,000 mark. With the exception of the champions only a | few of the highly rated fighters net | $50,000 annually. Many of the really good ones are lucky to get as much as $25.000 a vear. Jimmy Smith, though, earns from $35.000 10 $50,000 a vear appearing in exhibition tenpin matches, the Pitts- burgh bowling writer declares. He ig paid from $100 to $300 for each ap- pearance. The Smoky City authority also sa “Smith is regarded as the most con- sistent bowler the sport ever has produced. Strange alleys do not mean a thing in Jimmy's life. The large majority of bowlers are thrown com- pletely off their stridle when they tackle allevs unfamillar to them, but all runways look alike to Smith so long as they are properly constructed. “The King of tenpin experts re- cently established a world record for 30 games, rolling every three-game series except two above 700. He was only four pins shy of that mark in the two serles in which he missed.
