Ten-pin bowling spreading fast in Britain

The dour but triumphant South African Rugby tour of Britain and France last winter, despite the mud and rain, produced the remark- able gate receipts of more than £240,000—a record for a tour in these
countries.
I have been probing the cash success of the Springboks 34- match trall. It is a fascinating and intriguing story which re- veals the ever-increasing po- pularity of the game.
The tour profit, I estimate, must have topped £120,000. Not bed for an amateur game!
