BOWLS

NEW ZEALAND’S BEST TWEE Vi

“Backblpcker,” Alexandra, New Zealand, writes to “Boomerang,’’ of ihe Sydney “Referee” as .follows

“I was very interested in your request for a list of the twelve best bowlers in Australasia. As far as New Zealand is concerned, I would place our players in something like ihe following order' Carswell, Jlarraway. Bremner, Foster, Parsons, Pilkingi.on. MLntyro, Kerr, D. H. Thomson. Ardell,, Scott (Dunedin). M. Walker. Edwards. “To my mind;, these are good allround bowlers who have proved themselves, and are still playing well. I have no hesitation in placing Carswell first, as lie is still a great: howler Foster is a most tenacious fighter. “J. Scott: is probably one of the best drivers in New Zealand, and would. I imagine, please you immensely with bis "style. He prefers to play in a subordinate position, however. “I am particularly pleased- to g rend about your efforts to make representative bowling teams, and not merely the monev-bag. element. It is going to be a very difficult business, as the well-to-do have it over the poorer class of bowler. “The man who gets into mter-State teams is he who can afford to pay bis own way. Many of these are not even good enough as players to represent: their club. T wish yon luck in the campaign.”
