BOWLING

A WELLINGTON PROPOSAL. M The Wellington Bowling Centro recently decided to forward a remit to the New Zealand Bowling Council that the 1933 Dominion pairs tournament be a three bowl'-t event i 11- tend of four. The motion was intio-dured by .Mr H. 0. .Mayor, who urged the nod for shortening the tournament in si me way. A gje.it deal of time had been taken in the past in getting the pairs g:,lines com holed. He had Jiscussod the matter with Piofossor Maxwell Walker and others in Auckland, and they agreed thait the use of thro* bowls would eliminate a latrge proportion of the. dead ends, which wa.<* more frequent in pairs than in any other game.
