THE GAME OF BOWLS
RANGE IN PLAYERS' AGES
Howls is fallaciously <lcncribed as an old man's game, says an English writer. A visit to any large gathering of howlers would disillusion those with that idea. Admittedly, old men play it, hut they are young-old men because of it. The range of ages of winners of national championships runs from tho twenties to the seventies. Howls is a came for young and old. It affords a mild form of exercise for young men and women, and for their elders ns much as, and sometimes more than, they desiro. In addition, it requires great skill and the exercise of thoso qualities necessary to success. Above all, there is tho joy of achievement.
