VOLUME LXXXII, NUMBER 17 m According to a Large picture spread in a recent edition of a metropolitan paper, there are more wom- en bowling five pins 1n and around Metropolitan Torâ€" onto than there are lady bowlers in four large United States cities. It sounds like a sweeping statement but it probably__has a Very sound basis in fact. I _1: Luau“... Lnnann In ytuvuan “a... u . According to the management of bowling houses in Richmond Hill, women bowlers out-number the men two to one. It‘s only logical that the situation should be just that way. The housewife has more time to ‘ visit the lanes than is available to her husband. Some women in Richmond Hill belong to as many as three bowling leagues and some of the real addicts . bow] at least once. every day in the week. In other words bowling is becoming one of the biggest sports enterprises in the country. And the girls, bless ’em, are doing their best to make it that way. Bowling has progressed to its present lofty pin- nacle for two very good reasons. A real live public relations program by all levels of the industry itself, and the introduction of the automatic pin-setters . have shot bowling to the top of the heap. ‘ Last spring the first bantam bowling tournament ever held in Canada was held in Richmond Hill at Allencourt Lanes. The tournament attracted wide interest, both locally and on the national sporting scene. You may remember a team of pint-sized bowlers from Lloydminster. Alberta. They didn’t win the first place trophy but they did make a great many friends for themselves and for Lloydminster. Mayor James Haggart and the mayor of Lloydmin- ster exchanged official telegrams of mutual con- gratulations. Our mayor also greeted the bowlers as they arrived in the Union Station, and the Town of Richmond Hill got a lot of first class, nationwide publicity. I, The tournament will be held again on April 28, 1962. Billed as the Mason Trophy World Bantam Bowling Championships, the tournament is being noised across the entire country as invitations for team entries are sent to bowling houses from St. John’s to Victoria. Interest has also been expressed by the bowling industry in, of all places, Scotland. Tournament sponsor Jack Mason and his aides seem to have a tiger by the tail. What started as a mild flyer has turned into something, that if all goes according to plan, can get only bigger and better with each succeeding year. The Canadian Junior Bowling Councihwas overjoyed with last spring's effort. This time they should be ecstatic. Much of the success of the bantém bowling tour- nament was due to the work of many local citizens. They gave freely of their time, their homes and their talents to ensure that the kids got a well run tourney. This year again many people will volunteer to help and have a real ball while doing their bit. If you feel the urge to help, why not make the offer real soon as plans are already being firmed up for the April 28 date. -â€" SPORT SPOTS â€" With each passing year the quality of softball played in Richmond Hill improves. The season just past was the best yet, even if :1 Richmond Hill team ‘ didn’t win a. championship. 1 A lot of softball filberts have been kicking around the idea of a. senior B league for Richmond Hill. Their idea is to have Allencourt Lanes and Dynes Jewellers enter a league with possibly Markham and Tri-Bells and have every game played in Richmond Hill. The argument presented is that a. tight, well run softball league, playing the calibre of softball that senior players are capable of, would provide real softball fare in Richmond Hill. There is a great deal of truth in the argument. Two nights a week the teams would play double- headers of seven innings each and then go to nine inning games for play-offs. Umpires and league offic- ials would be the best obtainable and a better brand of softball would be the end result. We’ve got one of the best, if not the best, lighted ball parks in the province. The field is, fast and dries rapidly after a rain. Richmond Hill people seem to dearly love a good softball game, so Why not give them the best? Second Section Maybe we could get some letters about what the softball fans think about the proposal. The only way that team sponsors and other interested people will know whether we‘re ready for this proposal or not is if you let them know whether you like the idea 01‘ not. A lot of people have some sound ideas on the sub- ject, so how about trotting them out for discussion? How about an old fashioned winter ice carnival on the mill pond? It seems like a natural for the public school set to organize some skating races both individual and relay type. The wide open stretches of ice on the pond would make an ideal site for a large scale skating meet. And with a few bonfires along the shore it could be a real good day. When there's a natural asset like the pond av- ailable it seems a real sin to waste it. The public schools hold their own field day events and then the Winners go on to compete against winners from other schools. The same system could be used for the big‘ carnival at the pond and parents would probably really enjoy watching their kids in action. How abotft it? Would it be a good thing or not?

Though a com- pleted scoresheet may look com- plicated at first sight, scoring is actually quite simple. A bowling game consists of 10 frames. represented by one line on the scoresheet. In each frame, you‘re allowed three balls â€"- unless you manage to knock down all the pins with fewer. In the last frame, you must always r011 three balls. You score the value of the pins you knock down with three balls in each frame. However, the left corner pin -- the coun- ter-pin -- must be knocked down in each frame. If it is left standing, this is called a “blow,” and you get no score for that frame if yo'u had knocked‘down'an the rest. This no longer applies in 5-pin bowling. A perfect game - each ball you.» bowl points. To keep track of exactly what you bowled each frame, and what bonus points you are en- titled to, a number of symbols are used: 3 Strike -- If you knock down< all the pins with your first ball, this is a “strike.” You don’t bowl the remaining two balls in this frame.
