  • How to Make Spares
    How To Make Spares There is an old saying amongst bowlers "make spares and the strikes will take care of themselves." This is sound advice. After all, you can bowl as high as 190 without ever bowling a strike! In Tenpin Bowling the idea is to knock over as many pins as possible with your first ball, if the first ball is not a strike you're going to leave pins standing. No spare is easy to convert but there are very few that cannot be picked up with a well-placed ball. To become a good spare bowler takes practice, you must first develop a good and consistent armswing and approach, then become familiar with the angles on the lane and maintain a good shoulder position. These are the fundamentals of good spare bowlers. Accuracy is the secret to good spare bowling and accuracy can be achieved only by constant practice. With each game your eye will become more adept at "hitting" the exact spot to convert your spares. Practice will have your arm obeying your eye with increasing frequency. Even "Splits" which are where you have a wide gap between pins are the most difficult to make, but even some splits will be converted to spares as your consistency improves. Many beginner bowlers try and throw as many strikes as possible and when they miss they are careless with their spare ball. A beginner bowler will not put that much thought into the "spare ball" as they would the strike ball; therefore their scores are generally low. When all is done and the game is over a couple of minutes of calculating will tell you how important it is to pick up spares.

If he can go to his right and hit the broad side of a barn, that'll do all his talking for him. - Big Leaguer, 1953 This reassuring voice-over, in reference to New York Giants minor league prospect Chuy Ramon Santiago Aguilar, sums up nicely a fundamental tenet of baseball ideology: race, ethnicity, and cultural heritage do not matter. All are welcome to participate in the national pastime. All will be treated equally. All that matters is how one plays the game. Such has been the promise of Amer- ica, as well, articulated in the values and aspirations of this, its national pas- time. Of course, this has not been baseball's true history, nor America's.

  • Bowling, a Pastime Long Associated with Blue-Collar Americans
    36 2 0 1 1 N UMBER 4 | E NGLISH T EACHING F ORUM by Phyllis McIntosh Art might seem to have little in common with bowling, a pastime long associated with blue-collar Americans. A bowling alley (the traditional name for a bowling establishment) is the last place one would expect to find an art gallery. But Lucky Strike, a chain of chic upscale bowling centers, proudly claims its passion for the arts. Its lanes and lounges in 22 cities nationwide are famous for their ever-changing video displays of works by dozens of emerging artists. Lucky Strike’s innovation is just one example of bowling’s dramatic transformation over the past few decades. Once a no-frills sport played mostly by lower-middle-income workers in sponsored leagues, bowling has become the centerpiece of high-tech family entertainment complexes and fancy clubs that appeal to trendy urbanites. As a result, bowling is enjoying a resurgence in popularity, especially among the young. According to the United States Bowling Congress (USBC), more than 70 million Americans bowl each year, which makes bowling one of the most popular participation sports in the United States. The Golden Age of Bowling Of all American pastimes, bowling is one of the easiest to pursue. Just show up at Bowlers are required to the neighborhood bowling center, rent the required shoes, use the balls provided, and wear shoes like these, which won’t mar the floor of the pay a reasonable fee to bowl as many games as you like.
