THE BEST TYPE OF BOWLER

It can he said with truth that in whatever man does he reveals himself. We are inclined to think that we can hide ourselves, but there is nothing more patent in life than that general demeanor conveys fairly accurate impressions of actual character. The persistent trier reveals himself in bowls, and will meet with success in the game as in every other phase of life, providing, of course, he has keen vision, enthusiasm, and judgment that are the natural equipment of a bowler, writes "The Major" in Sydney "Bowling Life." The player who has no confidence in himself as an exponent of the game will reach no goal, whilst the one who has plenty of confidence, but no ability will get no further. Swank is of no use in bowls. You may bawl for all you are worth, but you must bowl in order to achieve success. The swanker is soon found out, and it' it is at all possible for such a type lo be sensitive, he must have some very humiliating experiences. It can also be said with truth that most successful bowlers are quiet and undemonstrative, and behind their calm exterior thero is usually a deadly earnestness. They are too busy in. mind to shout. Their conduct is in accord with natural phenomena, in which the greatest power is exerted silently. The best type of bowler is the one who is not blatant, puffed up with or conscious of his own importance on the green, but is the man who in ordinary life, proceeds calmly tv do the work set before him without ostentation, but with quiet enthusiasm and cheerfulness-. Bowlers do not fear the man who wears bowling medals so nmcli us the aUill thuu medula shield indicate.
