‘Malady’ Lingers On a a a , a a a A. B. C. ‘Epidemic’ Overtakes Novice Bowler and Leaves Him Raving About ‘Thrill of Lifetime.’

BY PAUL BOXELL THE thrill is over but the malady lingers on. I am talking, of course. about the American Bowling Congress which is convening every day in the house that horses built at the State Fairground. I am only one of 14,500 who are competing in the thing, i’it the whole exciting experience stirs me so deeply that I must tell you about it. I won’t start off by revealing my score; along with most other beginners, I am secretive on that subject like a woman is about her age.

Here’s the way it happens. Chuck Hardy comes around and asks me if I would like to go in the Congress. I say, “sure, but I am not very lucky at politics.” Chuck replies that the Congress he is talking about has to do with balls rather than bills, and announces that he is captain of a Claypool Hotel team. I confess that my acquaintance with the tenpins has not reached the stage where I can call them j names if they refuse to fall for me. ; but the captain persists, and I wind j up at the Fairground in company with four other fellows. a a a ■II7E are told to “hustle to the ’ ’ paddock,” and then I understand why some writers call it the bowlers’ rodeo. The paddock occupies one corner of the big cow barn, which is prettied up so that ; it doesn’t look a bit like itself. In I this section, the bowlers peel clothes | to their shirt sleeves, and. if they do j not bring their own ball, select a spheriod from a large racklul on hand. Next, we file through a. long aisle only two lanes wide, on each side of which are men with scales who weigh .every .ball. . I .turn, away when mine is weighed, so I won't see it. I figure I have enough worries without reflecting on how my back will feel the next day. a a a ONCE through the aisle, we arrive in another and smaller paddock which is full of benches. The room is jammed with others there for the same purpose. Some are nervous just like they were going out to play a cornet solo instead of being one man of five on one of 32 alleys. They walk about aimlessly; they stare dreamily; they talk in low voices; their laughter is strained. I can’t -understand why they should feel that way, but I am soon to find out. Someone pins a felt badge with the numbers 9 and 2 on it on my back. I figure that must be the way they tell the spectators what kind of score I am expected to roll. Later, I learn that they are the numbers of my team and position. Promptly on starting time, we are lined up in single file and march through another narrow passageway. Suddenly I come out into the open smack into a sight so amazing I nearly stop dead still. I catch my breath, have a feeling that my mouth has fallen open, and realize dimly that others before me are affected the same way. We are on the scene of combat, and the enormous grandeur, the color-laden beauty, the perfect symmetry of it all stuns us. We march in front of the bleachers, past alley after alley, gleaming the reflection of softly shaded lights, until we arrive at numbers 9 and 10. Applause comes from the stands. The boys on my team are jittery, and they're not trying to hide it. I am not in the habit of working up a frenzy, but I feel my temperature rising too high when suddenly a gong sounds loudly and right away I relax. I decide the gong must be the officials’ way of assuring us that, after all, we are only amateurs competing on the Major Bowls hour. a a a IT is the signal for each man to take two practice shots, explains Captain Hardy, and he proceeds to do so. I follow suit, but don’t do so well; my shoulder seems tight, and I remember that I forgot my push-ups the night before. After all practice rolls are completed. a bell rings and the pin boys dump 10 shiny maple sticks on each of 32 alleys simultaneously with a sharp thud. We’re off! Time and time again each of us sends the cannon ball rumbling down the alleyways, and with every toss the play becomes more thrilling. It is easy to assure bowlers who journey from the far corners of the nation for these two memorable hours they will not be disappointed. It is an experience that never will be forgotten. a a a ONLY one member of our team is rolling lower than I am, but |it doesn't chill his spirit. “This is I the most fun I ever had in my life,” he says fervently. Suddenly I notice that the tenth frame of my third game is being posted on the huge scoreboards, and I have a sinking feeling. It’s all over. I want to go back again, but I’ve had my whirl and must leave the alleys to the %>in pilgrims yet to come. If I never bowl again, I shall always love the game. The thrill is over, but the malady lingers on. GEORGE PINS COLESANO By United Press NEW YORK. March 13.—Ed Don George.

Jasper Talks Vengeance Jasper fans are working up a lot of heat over their scrap with Vincennes in the Washington regional. It is said that Vincennes didn’t book Jasper for a season game because Che Wildcats “weren’t tough enough.’’ Rushville patriots, who were in the pits of despondency when their Lions were in the thick of a 13game losing streak, are bolstered with optimism again as they await invasions of Connersville, Aurora and Milan. In capturing their 12th consecutive sectional title, the Lions boosted a late win streak to five straight. Shelbyville Stall Feared If basketball games were won by song, Kingman’s quintet apparently would have the Greencastle regional clinched. Four boys of the Kingman varsity make up a quartet of no mean ability, it’s reported, and one of the subs is a popular tenor in those parts. Franklin, Greensburg and Central of Madison are working out ways and means of breaking up stalling tactics as they taper off for the Greensburg meet. They’ve heard that Shelbyville's Golden Bears sprang an “almost perfect” stall on Columbus to eke out a 27-21. sectional finals verdict.
