NEXT EMPIRE GAMES

The next series of Empire- Games, which are to be held in Sydney in 1938, will include bowls.; In the past bowling has occupied a prominent place in the Games. At Hamilton, Canada, in 1930, the Empire singles championship was won by R. G. Colquhoun (England), the pairs championship by T. C. Hills and G. W. A. Wright (England), and the rinks championship by

an English rink (E. Gudgeon, J. Edney, P. Hough, and J. Firth*. • . • •

The second series was played in London in 1934. The singles championship was won by R. Sprot (Scotland), the pairs was again won by the English pair, T. C. Hills and G. W. A. Wright, and the rinks by England (R. .Slater, E. Gudgeon, P. Tomlinson, Emd F. Biggin). .

When the Empire Games are held in Sydney it will probably be arranged for the' Australian bowling carnival to be' held at the same period,'for it is Sydney's turn to have it in 1938. Australia will then be represented by bowlers of quality—most likely by the Australian singles, pairs, and , rink champions. There can be! only;orie representative for each British Dominion in the singles, one pair, and one rink. ■ . x ; ■ ;
