Finding & Spot,

A Dublin novice, J.J.S., asks for further advice regarding my sug guation of always keeping an eye upon the object. He adds:

"There are two sides to this ques tion, and it is about time that sen sible bowlers knocked on the head the idea that the novice has any right or claim to be put into a rink where he may be paly an encum- | branco and a soures of irritation.

"I started playing, in 1908, ̈and I have been a regular county player for nearly 20 years, but I never sought to play with so-called ex- perts until I was a good enough bowler to be invited, I thought aled upon a helpful method of draw ways that it was up me to progress

"It is high time that this notion of being spoon-fed like babieg re- ceived its quietus. I have done my full share of coaching and correct- ing errors of stance, delivery, etc, with novices, just as experienced cricketers will do at net practice, but his does not satisfy your novice at bowls.

Tell your Dawlish novice to practise with others as good or little better than himself until he outstring them. If he will do this, with an interval of an hour now and, then watching experts from the bank, he will get more pleasure and profit out of the game than be will by nursing a griev ance of his own creation.

"Can you tell me of any form of sport where you are thought to be selfish if you, an expert decline to be saddled with a novice as a colleague, partner, or opponent just because he pays his subscrip- tion to the same club as you do

Ruaux, Sept. 9.. The Junior Isle of Man Grand

Prix Motor Cycle Race took place to-day in extremely bad weather conditions.

Over the 998 miles course, difficult at all times, there was heavy rain in the valleys and a thick mist, giving only a few yards' visibility in the mountains.

On a full pulling green, the best get firmly proved method is to planted on the mat, take a look at the jack, or the object you have to bowl up to, find this spot on the green about three parts way up play to bowl over it and then watch the fight of the wood until it set tles. If your length is correct, Le. if you finish jack high, all that is needed is a little adjustment of the spot on the green.

This spot-on-the-green-finding theory has been proved by Scots men to be successful. In my own case I have found that the more deliberate one is in selecting the spot, the more automatic does drawing become.
