Daylight Saving Benefits Sportsmen
End Of
Of Moonlight Lawn Bowls Matches
Endemic Cholera Would Threaten Bathing Clubs
(By "Tinker")
DAYLIGHT SAVING pronounces or should pronounce the death of “moonlight" finishes to lawn bowls matches, for if they should still finish after dark, which will be around 8 p.m., there will have been something very wrong somewhere.
Generally speaking, however, the innovation is a boon to all sportsmen-though I know it wasn't brought in for their benefit. Recreation has always been curtailed dur- ing the week days, for after leaving office around five it was never much before 5.45 that one was able to start. on any game, which at the best left only about an hour for play.
But it will not be so much a benefit during the summer as during the winter months for the extra half-hour of light will mean much to cricketers and to
the players in the Colony Ten
Championships. Time and light
have spoiled many a good finish
to a cricket match, while we should have no more replays for: tennis matches as happened on several occasions in the last tournament.
