A BOWLING SUGGESTION.
TO TUB EDITOR. Sir, —In one of your issues last week appeared a letter on ‘ Bowling Matters ’ in which tiie writer advocated a charge being made to visitors watching the play at tournaments. Perhaps your correspondent got his idea from an incident which is supposed to have taken place at one of the greens during the recent tournament. He lays down three paragraphs, which are true tip to a certain point, but to my mind he should go further. Why should onlookers not pay to see the great lights of the bowling world in action in the finals? Every game, such, as cricket, football, and tennis, makes a charge to see its champion games, and why should bowls be left out? Perhaps it is because it has never occurred to the council. For some clubs it would be a Godsend to charge admission to their greens and premises, ns it would keep a lot of people off the greens who neither appreciate what is done for their pleasure nor, in many instances, understand the game. Your correspondent is to be commended for bringing up this cpiestion, late as the season is. —I am, etc.. An Ex-Bowler. January 31.
