I asked Frankie Frisch, of ihe St. Louis Cardinal Frisches, who is my" travelling companion, to try determine our approximate location but he gave up after three orolonged stares from the windows levealed nothing more illuminating than a brace of razotbsck hogs, a patch of pine trees, and a barefooted pickaninny. I was very grateful to find Mr. Frisch on the train -when I boarded it at Daytona-Beach, for I quickly allowed as how he would furnish me with an easy story. Ill just ask him two or three baseball questions, I figured, and there my story will be.

Nothing will cause loss of control like use of too much speed. A hurried, jerky delivery, necessary to bowl an exceptionally fast ball, will throw a kegler off balance and his ball off line. A medium speed ball, thrown with control, will work better when it hits the pins'than a fast one.
