Here is the story of Jim the Bowler. Jim, the Ninepins player, was as a child a great fan of the marble sport. He was so skillful with the little marbles that he soon couldn't find any more opponents. He continued improving his techniques. He didn't try any longer to lodge the little marbles in a small hole, but aimed instead at small obstacles. He became more and more adept in skill and by chance he saw one day how three older Co-Boys aimed with a round ball at nine conically shaped objects. He got interested and tried it, too. In his very first game, he threw over all nine pins. He immediately became a member of the Ninepins team and eventually became Co-Boys-ville most successful Ninepins player.
