FOLLOWING THE BOWL.
HABIT OF BRITISH PLAYERS! A private note from one of the Australian bowlers at present on tour in 3'lngland describes the " stalking" proclivities of tho British trundlor. "They zig-zag up the green after delivering their bowls, urging tliein on, or 'shooing' them off, as the position of the head demands. The Australian stands on the mat, meanwhile, smiling, but inwardly cursing a habit as stupid as it is annoying," he says. Charles G. Blake, the American champion and critic, calls it "the public house habit," this " following tho bowl up to tho head."
