Easy Release Essential, So Hold Ball
u Naturally and, Take Relaxed Stance
By JOE FALCARO -Greatest
Match Gam Bowler
Holding the ball is a matter
of individual taste. There are
several styles. The best rule
is to do it as naturally as pos
sible. As 1 said previously, there are
two and three hole balls. Most
beginners prefer the three hole
sphere since the extra finger
gives you added control.
In a three hole ball, the thumb
and second and third fingers are
the working digits, the first and
fourth fingers are non-working.
NON-WORKING FINGERS
CONTRIBUTE TO CONTROL
Non-working fingers should be
spread slightly to aid in con
trolling, delivering and putting!
spin on the ball. It is unwise

to assume any freak deliveries,
even if you have seen some star
doing so.
The thumb should be inserted
about three-quarters of the depth
of the hole. This gives you a
free release. As you will see
later, in throwing a hook, the
thumb must be released ahead of
the fingers. You must have an
easy release.
BALL IN PALM WAIST HIGH;
GET FULL VIEW OF ALLEYS
A proper stance is essential.
Set your feet four or five inches
apart. This affords you com
plete relaxation.
Assuming you arc right-hand
ed, place the ball in the palm of
your left hand, about waist high.
Insert your fingers in the bail.
I recommend standing In the
center of the approach directly
in front of the head pin.
This gives you the best posi
tion to take a full view of your
alley bed.
You will have a wider vision
of where you are to place your
ball.

War Problems Up in
Major League Meet
By JUDSON BAILEY
CHICAGO, Dec. 11 (P)
Baseball had its ear tuned for
today's joint meeting of the ma
jor leagues as the possible sound
ing board for a statement of the
sport's war aims.
The National and American
leagues have been in separate
and secret sessions for two days
and much of the discussion of
the owners has been concerning
problems created by the war.
Up till now Commissioner
Kenesaw M. Landis has re
mained virtually silent about
baseball's place in the national
effort but it was believed the
joint meeting would produce
some expression from organized
baseball as to its plans.
Trading calmed down over
nieht the only new deal being

of Pitcher Vernon Kennedy from
the Washington Senators for
about the waiver price of $7500

turn the full spotlight on the
business sessions of tho leagues,
the owners wrangled all day long
about the amendment to the ma

adopted unanimously in an at

Armed Forces
To Clash on
Husky Grid
By GAIL FOWLER
SEA'ITLK, Doc. 11 (!) Whiit
happens when mill alrciiift mul
army air forces clash Is a mut
ter for the gunorals, but whut
happens whon tho "Ack-Avks"
and the flyers clash on (hu foot
ball field is a mutter to be set
tled at tho University of Wash
fcigton stadium Saturday.
It will be an all-out bnttlo bo
tween tho Moffett field flyers o(
the bay district in California,
who claim tho Pacific const serv
ico grid championship, mid the
"Arkansas Travelers" from tho
anti-aircraft forces at Fort Lew
is. Wash., who challenged the
airmen.
Tho edge may lay with the
Moffetts, but for sheer color mid
drama, just consider tlioso anti
aircrafters, who aro equally ac
curate with guns, forward passes
or slingshots.
A couplo of years ugo most of
them were attending Arkansas
schools. Canto tho emergency
and 17 members of the Tech foot
ball team, all national gunrds
mcn, were called to tho colors
Now there aro 21 from Arkan
sas Tech, two from the Univer
sity of Arkansas, two from Ar
kansas high schools and one
from Arkansas State who are in
cluded on tho sqund.
It was a new group, without
funds, and civic organizations fi
nally scraped up somo discarded
uniforms for tho team, which
Immediately was dubbed the
"Arkansas Travelers." Much to
everybody's surprise, they swept
and razzlc-dazzled through eight
service teams, rolling up 279
points to 6 with a light squad
weighing 191 In the line and 171
in the backfield.
Just a week before their big
game with Moffett, war brokv
out. The generals said the game
was "still on." But the ark-ncks
had work to do. too work more
grim than playing football.
The long-haired, drawling
Ozarkians were hustled here by
army truck to the big Roping air
craft factory. There they sot up
their anti-aircraft guns.
After putting in long. hour",
they repair to a nearby plnyfictd
to polish up their football attack
Then after a couple of hours of
scrimmage, they turn In for some
sleep before returning to their
vigil with their long-nosed guns
The Moffetts won seven of
eight games, losing only to St.
Mary's, 60. They scored 140
points and gave up 45.
Feller Becomes
Boatswain's
Mate in Reserve
CHICAGO, Dec. 10 OP)
Young Bob Feller, one of base
ball's greatest pitchers, became
a chief boatswain's mate in the
ynited States naval reserve to
day. He was sworn In by Lieut.
Com. Gene Tunney and the
brief ceremony was broadcast
by radio.
"There are many things more
important than baseball these
days," the 23-year-old pitcher
said. "First we'll have to win
the war to keep baseball."
He will pay a farewell visit
to his parents at Van Meter,
Iowa, and then go to Norfolk,
Va., for six weeks training be
fore taking an assignment as a
physical director under Tunney.
