BY R. D. nothing new. G ital League Lead. THOMAS. EORGIE FRIEND'S famous flyback has caused more discussion than anything in recent years among bowlers. Horace Elmer, who scored the District League for many seasons, today recalled a similiar instance in which the bowler swept the alley with his first ball only to have a pin ¢ return and stand up on the field of play. This occurred at Mac Sparrow’s old establishment on Tenth street near Pennsylvania avenue, and a member of the Hummers’ team, whose name Elmer couldn’t remember, was the victim. The matter was put to Elmer and he ruled that no strike had been made, declaring that if a bowler could benefit by a flyback, the reverse fortune should be acceptable, too. Not long after, Elmer says, the same thing, or something quite like it, occurred in the National Capi League, which also de- lay. psevenl nights ago Frank Mischou, shooting with Parkway Filling Station in the National Capital League, got & three-pin break, or thought he had one, when a pin flew back and righted itself behind the others, giving him a “basket” formation. He made the spare. George L. Isemann, secretary of the National Duckpin Bowling Congress, has announced that a rule covering the freak will be incorporated into the con- * code at its next convention. ‘While they're about it, the congress’ rulemakers might as well straighten out the dummy score business. Bowlers are at odds over whether dummy strings should be counted in total pins. A number of pennants are decided every year on total pinfall and there is ever & debate. Then, too, there's the matter of the handicap on roll-offs where a dummy is used. Most handicap leagues rule that a dummy has no rights. One of the prime purposes of the Na- tional Duckpin Bowling Congress is to standardize the game and it has ac- complished much in that direction. To straighten out the rules will be duck soup for Isemann and his Aside from proms tournament, perhaps the most effective work done by the N. D. B.

BATTERY CO. NORTH 0141 BY JOHN A. FERRALL. HE Kid found the Old Timer at the ice water tank. “Say,” he demanded, “if a bowler ‘sweeps all 10 pins off the alley with his first shot, but one stick bounces back and stands up in the pin bed, is it a strike, or must he shoot at that pin for a spare?” "Thnl:‘z easy,” responded the Old Timer, promptly. “If a member of my quint made the shot, it is a strike; if one of your ‘flat tires' did it, then it is just another spare break for him to blow.” “None of our shooters are in on this,” explained the Kid. “I'm talking about that shot by George Friend at the Temple alleys when he drove all 10 off back and stood up—they made him shoot at it again:” Within the Law. “I belleve the legal ruling would be that George had made a strike,” said the Old Timer. “Probably any pin driven off the alleys in that way is considered down and out—but is it? Personally, I think the ghy should be regarded as a spare break.” “Just how do you figure that?” “On the sauce-for-the-goose is sauce-for-the-duck idea,” said the Old Timer. “Where you can't win, you can't lose—in theory. A bet de- cided against you where you never had a chance to win is really a crooked deal. In base ball, of course, if the ball hits the screen or bounces off the fence it is not a legal catch even if nabbed before it hits the ground. “Yes,” admitted the Kid. “Bowling should follow a similar rule—but does it?"” “That's what I'm asking you,” in- sisted the Kid. “Then I'll ask you one,” declared the Old Timer: “Say that the rule does provide that a pin is down and out of play once it leaves the bed? Well, you shoot at the bunch and get six with the ball, but one stick bounces off the wall and knocks down the other four. Is it a strike, or was the bouncing pin down and out_the minute it left the pin bed?” K;'R‘s a strike, of course,” said the d. ‘Well, that's the sporting angle DU the boards and one bounced . asserted the Old Timer. “If you are going to profit by anything the pin does after it leaves the pin bed, then you should be prepared to suffer for anything it may do against you— such as coming back and standing up to be shot at again. I suppose the rule makers, if they have a rule de- claring a pin down and out after it leaves the bed, made an exception because it would be a nuisance to respot pins every time they were toppled by a bouncing maple, but Justice is justice anywhere except in court, and if a pin is out of play when it leaves the alley and.then comes back and stands up—then it is out of play when it bounces back and knocks down a few -rother maples.” “I guess that's right,” conceded the Kid. “They ought to apply prize ring rules. If a pin is knocked down and gets up again before a count of 10, then it is still in the fight. The points is: Did George Friend's pin get up before the count?” It probably was another one of &k_lg:e long counts,” suggested the Old er, McMILLIN HAS A SCORE TO SETTLE WITH BIBLE By the Assoclated Press. MANHATTAN, Kans, November 19.—The only time “Bo” McMillin's foot ball team ever met Dan Bible's team, Bible's team won. Whether Bible can repeat in the second meeting will be determined here Saturday when the McMillin-coached Kansas Aggles battle the Bible-tutored Nebraska Cornhuskers in a game which may decide the Big Six foot ball race. It was the year McMillin, then a quarterback, led the little Centre Col- lege team to victory over Harvard that Bible beat McMillin. Centre was re- turning from the Pacific Coast and stopped off in Collsge Station, Tex., to play the Texas Aggles, coached by Bible. The Aggles won, 22" to 14. Before McMillin left his native heath at Waco, Tex., to play foot ball at Fort Worth and later at Centre, Bible was a student at Centre. Bible and Mc- Millin are not intimate personal friends but each has expressed himself as hav- ing a high regard for the other as & man and as a coach. TC WEQ U.S. PAT.

Rufus Vincent, centcr, with four floor goals and a foul shot, starred on attack for the winners. Mount Rainier A. C. and Maryland Coll>gians waged a merry battle, and at the intermission the ccint was tied at 7-all. A. Bellman was the ace of the victors' offznse, caging six goals from scrimmage and two from the foul line. Paul Reeley was best for the losers with five floor goals.

Aspirants for the Hyattsville High School girls’ basket ball team have be- gun drills under direction of Miss Mar- garet Wolfe, coach. Despite the loss by graduation of a group of dependable players from last Winter's team, it hoped that a winning combination may be developed from the members of the squad remaining from a campaign ago and several newcomers. Capable players who have been lost include Lelia Smith, Sara Gude, Ellen Heid, Marion Kerr and Inez Gaylor. Leading candidates at hand from last season’s squad are Margaret Meade, Isa- selle Craddock, Jean Hamilton, Winifred Kerstetter, Jean Goss, Rita Kessler and Charlotte Suess. Among the more promising recruits are Katherine Hannigan, Ruth Gale, Mary Hagner, Eleanore Robinson, Rose Elmo and Viola Carson. I. L. IN A 3EADLOCK IN NAMING LEADER By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, November 19.—The In- ternational Base Ball League will have to get along without a president for lmol.her three weeks, at least, perhaps longer. Meeting here yesterday, league direc- tors, seeking to find a successor to the late John Conway Toole, found them- selves deadlocked over whether Jack Hendricks, former manager of the Cin- cinnati Reds, or Willlam: L. Dill, New Jersey commissioner of mdtor_vehicles, should succeed to the office. Each was given four of the eight votes, five being necessary to elect. Eventually the league decided to ad- journ and ‘try once more during the minor league meeting at Chattan , Tenn., December 5, 6 and 7. In the meantime, the league's affairs will be looked after by Charles H. Knapp, chairman of the board. ‘The 1930 season will open Wednesday, April 16, and close Sunday, September 21, with each club playing 168 gnmes, as usual. The opening-day schedule will find Buffalo at Newark, Toronto at Reading, Rochester at Baltimore and Montreal at Jersey City. The league voted to uphold Billy Southworth, manager, and George To- porcer, second baseman of the Roches- ter Redwings, in their fight against the severe penalties meted out to them for their part in a disturbance at the last game of the “little world series.” To- porcer was suspended for one year and fined $200. Southworth was fined $500. THREE-EYE SALARY CUT TO KEEP LEAGUE GOING DECATUR, IIl, November 19 (#).— To cut expenses and to ald two clubs— is | Bloomington and Quincy—in their ef- forts to remain in the loop, the Three- Eye Base Ball League has unanimously voted to reduce the player salary limit from $4,500 to $3,750. Another move to strengthen the cir- cuit financially was made at yester~ day’'s annual business meeting by sched- uling double-headers every Sunday throughout the season, which will open Sunday, April 27, and end on Labor day, a program of 140 games in 120 days.
