Heredity Is Blamed for Making - Monkeys of Some Duckpinners BY JOHN A. FERRALL. HE 0ld Timer looked at the + score sheet with an air of in- tense satisfaction. The ninth box showed a 91 total for him as against 52 for the Kid. “One of us,” he remarked signifi- tantly, “is terrible—" “Well, don’t apologize,” interrupted the Kid, pretending to misunderstand him. *“I'm not soing any too well myself.” “I'll.say you're not,” agreed the Old Timer. “It's really about time you got going in the right direction, too, because the season is getting along, and you usually register at least one 300 set during the year.” “Say, you wouldn't believe it if I told you I shot a 872 set yesterday, would you?” demanded the Kid. “You bet 1 wouldn't” responded the Old Timer promptly. “And you never Wil unless you change your name to Wolstenholme. “There may be something in that,” said the Kid. “I notice that Glenn's brother is carving out a pretty nice frerase for himself. Do you think owling ability runs in families?” Star Bowlers Born—Then Made. . “It may,” asserted the Old Timer. YChampion bowlers, of course, are and then made; that is, they must have a natural aptitude to begin with, and add to this long and con- sclentious practice. A dub, by hard practice, may become a better bowler than a man who has much greater natural ability but never develops it.” | “What I was getting at,” explained he Kid, “is whethehr there isn't some knack that goes to make a great bowler, just as some men are natural hitters in base ball, while others, great players, smart and all that, never can make themselves into dangerous hit- ters, no matter how hard they work— though they are apparently just a: &trong and husky as the swatsmiths.” “Lll have to dig into my stock of fwo-doliar words to answer that,” said the Old Timer. “You are now drifting into the field of psychology. It is no doubt true that a trained psychologist could work out a series of tests that would determine pretty whether a man had the p hampion bowl Hin X ined the Old often chological nd tests show that skill in certain lines is dependent upon things that we would not ordinarily®consider. Take typewriting: They’ve found out that the differcnce between superla- Jive and mediocre typlsts consists pr rlly in the amount of voluntary motor control they possess in their S s, and more par- s and arme,” sked tr *That's the funny part of i The Old Timer. “The experts find that finger speed control is not the main thing. The fingers actually de yend on the arm in any prolonged ef- fort, and so practically borrow strength from the larger muscl when they begin to tire. “I get you,” noded the Kid. Yes, Sir, It's Heredity. *The main point is right here: ssential voluntary control whi Jetar typewrit “the resul : i RADIATORS, FENDERS BODIES MADE AND REPAIRED 2 FOR' AUTOS EW RADIATORS WITTSTATT’S R. & F.

Ty Cobb's brother, you may recall; never did learn to hit.” tests are good enough to make it al- most certain that bowling skill of the highest sort depends upon natural ad- vantages born with a guy. Those psychologists sure have given us bum shooters a swell alibi; I'm for them!” “Well, it begins to look as though we must develop one of Wolsten- holme’s brothers if we are going to get him trimmed,” declared the Old Timer. “He apparently has the born klnack, plus long experience and prac- | tice.” “I guess Paul Pohler would have | the best chance of taking Glenn over | the jumps,” suggested the Kid. *I| {hope they have another match.” | “If they do, I’ ulling for the | finals to said the Old | Timer. “I want to see ’em, and if 1| had to go to Boston 1'd probably never get back. Boy, the streets of Bos- ton—-" Those Corkscrew Streets, “Are they really as crooked as peo- ple say they are?” asked the Kid. | “Corkscrew would be the word to | describe most of them,” said the Old | Timer, “if the prohibition laws would | permit the use of that word. Why, | there was a guy that moved to Boston | and had a_terrible time finding his way around. At the end of the first| month he wanted to get rid of an old | cat that had been left at the house | by the previous cwners. So he put it | in a sack and started for the river| about a mile away—" “Drowned the cat, eh?” said the id Kid. “Drowned nothing!” exclaimed the | Old Timer. ““The streets were so crooked that he got lost, and he never | would have found his way home if he | had not let the cat out and followed | it.” i KILLINGER IN NEW JOB.

First Showing | OF THE New Nash “Special” Sedans cAt Our Showroom At the New York Automobile Show Nash disclosed two ukra new models, the Ambassador and the Cavalier, that definitely establish an entirely new enclosed body style. In design they are of such arresting originality and unique artistry as to constitute the most important creative achleyc- ment in the history of American enclosed car craftsmanship. And in response to an unprecedented public reception and great demand Nash has now executed two additional carsin this new mode to be offered at prices of wider popular appeal. These two enclosed cars—the Special 4-Door Sedan on the .Advanced Six chassis and also on the Special Six chassis— are now given their first display at our showroom. With their alluring grace and inimitable distinction, en- hanced by the foreign technique displayed in the contours of the body, these Special 4-Door Sedan models emphati- cally confirm Nash’s leadership of the industry in the fine art of body building. And they are powered with the big Nash 7-bearing motor —the world’s smoothest type—as are all other Nash models. WALLACE MOTOR CO.
