BOWLING.

. * BOOT'S " FOR BOWLERS Dor't try to learn the game in a day. Don't use too much speed "t first. Don't grip the howl too. tightly. Don't think you can change the course of the bowl after it has left yom hand. Don't use any unnecessary notions. Don't exert yourself. Take it easy. A slow, accurate bowl is better than a swift, wild one. Don't be superstitious—thirteen is one point more than twelve. Don't think it necesshry to be a Sandow. Many light-weights bow] well. Don't tell your wife that you carried off all the honors. She may read the bowling notes in the papers. Don't bring a suit against the publisher if you find vour score or average printed wrong. The chaVices_ are that he :iever saw you bowl. It is possible someone else has made the mistake. Don't get discouraged; you can learn. Anyone with ordinary nerve and a good eye can become expert with practice. Don't use profane language on tho green. Don't tell anvone what'you are going to do. Wait until after the game, and J tell them what you did do. Don't think bowling simply a craze. The interest in the game will continue to increase. Don't think you can sandpaper, a bowl without injuring it. It takes an expert mechanic to true up a lignumvitae bowl. Don't assert positively that you will do this or that. It sounds better to sr.v vou will try to do it. Don't throw'out you. chest too far after playing r good shot. Your next, bowl irnu be a "rotter." Don't blame the green for everything. It is possible you put a bowl down badly now and Hgain. Don't say tho other fellow had all the luck. He may have played a good shot or two, . J)on't expectorate on tb* ureen.
