BOWLS

REVISED BOOK OF KULES. Bowlers throughout. New should be srateful to the Council of the DumiSion Bowling Association, which I with tho aid of its secretary (Mr. S. U. Underwood) has issued a revised edition Of the laws of the game and the conBtitutton and rules jjf the ''950ciatimi. Hitherto these have been separate publications, more or less nut of date. No one need now bo puzzled about any \oxed point; a glance at the index of the new publication will toll at once where In kin a solution. The new laws stipulate what materials other than lignum vitae may be used in the manufacture of bowls. An old point in dispute was tho condition of the jack., when it has; been knocked against the bank and rebounds on to the rink. A new rule clean away all obscurity. It says: r "Tf a .jack bedriven hv a bowl in n.ay against he bank and rebound on to the green within the limits of the rink it is alive and shall remain where it rests _ Anatbn knotty situation is dealt with in the following note-.-"Any howl which is prevented from falling into the ditch by reawm of it* resting on a Imie.h.'r therein shall be alive, providin" that such bowl is not wholly outside the side boundary of tlio rink." ~i! i Pome skips are not aware that under certain eimimstn'iccs nn onnnnent nir.y ohi'ccfc -to th» mnrlrire of a toucher. TI )P rnl« «.nvs—"A toucher fhall he morkerl with chalk to distinguish : t. but if it lies in such n. position that the act of marking mar move it. nn opponent, may object to its'beimr marked, i» which enso it shall he noted." Attention is drawn to the new rule n» to 4(imning bowls. Tn the constitution the new bnundnrcs of nil the centres are clonrlv defined.
