BOWLING.

HINTS FOR PLAYERS. In delivering your bowl don't bring the action from the elbow. If you do the result is more of a jerk than the pendulum swing which is essential if "distance" is to be effectually corrected.

Don't chose a bowl that you cannot comfortably grip." Unless you have an extra large hand you will get more control over your wood if its diameter is sin. than if it is sJin. or even 5 1-1 G inch.

Don't try t) get an artificial "spin" on your bowl. The bowl will take the natural spin if a proper delivery be made and it reaches the ground from your finger tips at the proper angle. A bowler gees a finer "touch" by a natural delivery. Don't bother trying fast shots until you are expert with the draw. A bowler often spoils himself by trying to drive before he has 1?; rned to draw. Even when you can draw the shot, don't be too anxious tj play the "hot" stuff. A driv; is really tnly. permissable when no other shot is on.

Don't keep on playing on the one hand because you find it more comfortable than the i.thor. No man can bd classed as a gxod bowler unless ho can play both hands with confidence. If you find you are weak on one hand keep uii practising that hand until you overcome y«ur weakness. Remember, practice is the- remedy for any defect.

Success at howh comes from concentrated thought in il-.n game before you. Always keep your eye well on your game.

The don't care player never succeeds at bowls; he must care and think. Don't blame the green—the other fellow is 'getting "here. Don't say it can't be done. Say you will try and it is half done.
