T HE recent revival of this interesting game has resulted in the application of modern principles of system and exactness to Alleys, Pins, and Balls. What would have been very good ten years ago will not answer at all now. The alley in particular must be right from the start and remain so. This can only be expected of experienced builders, using first class materials. We have been building alleys for ten years and by giving them careful study have produced good alleys. This catalogue describes t

The Standard (Reiskey & Wolf Patent) Adjustable Alleys are con­struct­ed in every de­tail the same as the Standard Bowling Alleys except that the sleepers on which the beds rest are adjustable. The adjusting screws are placed at the ends of the sleepers and rest on the sills as shown above. They are riveted to Iron Shoes that are secured to the sills so that the screws can raise up or draw down the beds. Any deviations of the beds from level, except such as are due to wear, may be correc

BEDS first quality white maple, 3 in. wide, rabbetted on the sides, laid on edge, glued and nailed with cut steel nails. LENGTH OF BED , 78 ft., width, 41 to 42 in., thickness, 3 in. SLEEPERS to be of selected hard pine, 6 in. deep, 3 in. wide, placed at an average of 36 in. apart. SILLS to be of Hard Pine 6 × 6, built of three pieces. SCORE BOARDS of artificial slate, 20 in. by 27 in. inside frame, ruled to 2 in. squares, framed in oak, with chalk rail. SCRATCH LINE AND PIN SPOTS to be of Black

The following claims are made for the “STANDARD” Bowling Alleys, and have been sustained by use: KEEP LEVEL. On account of the air space underneath them, which is ventilated by openings, the beds are less affected by moisture rising from the ground, cement, etc. SURFACE. The bed being glued up of strips having rabbets cut on the sides, form a solid bed in which no piece can get loose, slip, raise up, or give any trouble. FOUNDATIONS. Practically, no foundation is required; hence, a great saving

The runs are low with a low post placed inside of the scratch line. These alleys conform in every detail to the Regulations of the Massachusetts Amateur Bowling League, which are generally adopted by other Eastern organizations. The pit is four feet wide and is dropped well below the beds so that balls go over pins or balls lying in the pit. The swinging bunters are large, heavy, and well padded with a durable palm fibre, the padding being in sections to prevent its packing down in the bottom of

W E GUARANTEE the material and workmanship on all our alleys to be first-class in every respect and will repair free of charge, for one year, any breakage due to faulty construction or defective material; but we cannot guarantee against the natural effect of heat and moisture on the stock out of which the alleys are laid. EXPERIENCE is a very necessary factor in building Bowling Alleys. For six years we built alleys according to the old method of setting the sleepers in cement, nailing the beds

W HEN desired we build High Runs and Newel Post as shown by the drawing on this page. As will be seen by the “end view,” this post is made thin to allow as much room as possible for the bowlers. This style of runway has a sift-out that delivers the small balls on a lower rack. O UR FACTORY, as will be seen by the illustration on page 24, is located at Woodlawn, a suburb of Providence, on the New York, New Haven Railroad. The lumber sheds and dry kilns, of improved construction, are by the side o

These Balls are made of the best lignum-vitæ, or ball wood as it is termed by the trade. 7 ½ in. and all larger sizes have finger holes, unless otherwise ordered. Holes are bored 3 ½ in. apart unless ordered otherwise. Sizes measured before re-turning. Turned from selected Rock Maple, turned to regulation sizes and lathe polished. The following list is well adapted for one pair of Public or Club Alleys. For a Single Alley take half of the list of Balls and Pins. It is desirable to purchase large
