Dont's Fop Skips.

Don't think that you are the only skip on earth—there are others.

Doa't say that's no gcod—l wanted vou up. The player knows it without you saying it, it only irritates him. Remember you play short yourself. Don't flap your wings and turn your back when o.ie . does tot g) where you want it. You are apt to get another bad one. Don'c lose your temper and sit down and nurse your head. It you are a few down fight it out, someone has to lose. Don't say I thuught you • would do that when your third taps one and givis them the shot. You do the same yourself and call it bad luck. Don't ask for a runner when there is a chance to draw the shot or trail the kitty for two or three. Don't drive unless there is absolutely notbirg tlse on, it is the last resource of an incompetent bowler. Don't lok glum when your opponent plays a good one and you are four down. Applaud it and go down and draw the sbot. Don't aay what a fluke when a player gets a wick and lays shot You do the same and call it a good sbot. it's all in the game, Don't blama tfce green and say it is too keen or too slaw, tbe grass is too long, or it does not draw as it should. Remember it is as fair tor one aa the other. Don' play to tbe gallery or try to be funny at the expenss of your opponent. You only get laughed at yours If and make yourself unpopular. Don't be afraid to give a colt a chance and help him all you can. He might develop into a better bowler than yourself. Don't refuse ti play in any position to strengthen your team—unity ii strength. Don't be a perpetual skip, change your pnsitjon occasionally it will benefit your play. Finally—Don't take credit for winning entirely to yourself aa you could not win by yourself. Give your team credit and be a sport
