ON THE BOWLING GREENS. I A Week Replete With Surprises. I (By WOODROLLER.") I La^t week-end wajg rcpiete with sur- prises. and the results of some of the paines will have a decided effect upon the Jpositkm of the Swansea Club. The Vic- torians could only muster twelve players, <bnt owincr to a mi6und.rsta.nding several (players did not make tile journey. The Victorians Jeel rather wsnoved, especially a- on Saturday they helded practically the fame c:,ide as should have done duty at Seath, and defeated Pare Howard at the Victoria Green by 16 shots. But for the reverse at iXe-ath, the Victorians might have stood a chance of setting to the top of Division B. Against Fare Howard the Victorians were seen at their bÆt, iind taking fall advantage of their know- ledge of the green, gained a ten shot ad- vanta-go in the first fi ve Sharing the Ends, from this stage until the truth end th? Jiowardians shared the ends equally, and ^snored 32 to f-2. The skips on each of the prinks were all oat, and some of the head building vaa really splendid, but the Victorians were determined to hold on to >1 heir lead. and at the 15th end were up 13 shots. In the final stages the Tinplaters made a gallant attem-pt to retrieve tho fortunes of the day, only to .tied the Viotorians equally as V *eapite some excellent bowling by the Yt lowardians. the home trundleis secured verdict after compiling bl, in respond ti8 by their opponents.

Halt way through the game, the Victorians were up hy one, while at the 16th end honours were even, a position maintained at the 20th e-n-ci, when the totals were 2: all. In ,wthe final end the home quartet managed to r" lay on- and won by a single shot. fleward of Persistency. Since the opening of the season. Alex- andra have been plodding along without jfeuccess, but on Saturday their persistency ia rewarded when they defeated St. John's at Dytatty Green by 22 shots. This success sould encourage the Alexandrians, and one cannot jleip feeling pleased that ."their run of ill-ruck has ended. In the rfiral half of the game the totals were far separated, and at the 10th end eacli side .ciaimed shots. Afterwards the Alexan- drians gradually began to draw clear, and at the loth cud were 13 shots in front. rwith their total at 63. Once having gained '1 ive lead, the homesters were determined Jlfft to be deprived ot it, and ciespire some .good bowling by the Saints, they finished nip with 92 shots, which proved 22 too many for the visitors.

On Rink 2, the Alexandrian a. under Skip i Walter Norman, underwent, a similar -perience. From the ten-li to the fifteenth "-er,i they monopoliswd '0 jack, and gained Jm arivaniase of ten shots. 30 to 13.

Neath Town gave Victoria a serious set bael- while on Saturday Morriston left the Neath green, after meeting Melyn United with the position in Section A consider- ably weakened. The Morristonians com- ineneed welL a nd looked as if they would -have no difficulty in accounting for the M<iyn\ic,s. At the lt)tli head they were lf sh-ot.s in hJSnd, and had sco-ivd half a century. But their success ended, and after the home trtitidlers had wiped oat their adverse majority, they secured a throe shot lead at the 15th end. All Out" To Win.

They managed to limit the (scoring cf the homesters, and eventually won by six thots, after totalling 21. UFS AND DOWNS On Sink 2, Skip A. H. Dickman and his clubmates secur.od a lead of four shots at the fifth end, but at the tenth end the Melynites. controlled by W. Ivlaybury. had reversed the positions. From this stage ihe Morristonians failed to lead again, and the licmesftrs finished with four shots in hand. Scoring on Kink 5 was heavy, and at the tenth end the visitors were up two. The position, however, was net secure, aud five ends later, the home quartet, under Skip J. Dummer were fonr shots in front. In the final ends < etch side SC0fütl As ell. and 23 elot, were gained, of which the home qrtar- t, claimed 14, enaoiing them to win by nine on a &core of 32, On the other rink, the visitors at om time held an eight-shot lead, while even at thi 15t.U end they were eix shots in advance of the Melyn aggregate of thirteen. ECCENTRIC WOODS. The visitors afterwards struck a bad patch, and in the remaining ends cotild ouly claim a single, making a total of 20. lu the meantime Skip Evan Morj got his men in close proximity to the j%ek so ofwn that at the termination of the game they were two np. The Morristonians had lot cxpected defeat, and had hoped to ep up their reecni. success;?. The Neath green is eomioc in for a great deal of criticism, and while I do not wish to depreciate the bowl- ing of the Melyn men in any way, I must siy that visiting1 teams are seriously han- dicapped by the peculiarities of the areqv and the eccentric methods in which the wood;- travel along the turf MOliHIsTON Ur; I TED Since their opening game with Neath B-ail- waymen, Morriaton United have met with a series of defeats. On Saturday hopes were entertained that, they would, at last, bring about a change of fortune, but at Jersey Park they just failed by two Rhot-s to eqaalise Jersey's core of Kt. rhe- East- idc1", in the first five ends, scored 22, while the M.onri«.toniene followed six ehote behind. HaJX-way through the game, the lead in favour of the E-vrtsiders was doubled. The .fci-sey wcodrol'ers continued to add to their advantage, and at the fifteenth end they were up 16 on a. score of M. The Mer. ristoni-tn.c;, principally on Rink 1, made a good attempt to finish on level terms, but just failed by two to overtake ths* Ea3t. aiders. Skip J Griffiths and his partners were up against a strong quartet in Sid Thoma?, A. Budge, Fred Joyce, and Skip C. J iiowe, but so well did they manipulate the woods that at the fifth end they claimed a lead of six shots. The Eastsiders soon began to make amends, and five ends later j got on level terms at twelve aU. The Mor- ristonians afterwards scored freeiy. and added ten shots to their total, so that at GO ON! GO ON!" I Now why on earth didn't that wood get a move, on when it was told? Why? we repeat. I the fifteenth end they overtopped the Eas*- eiders' aggregate of fourteen by eig-ht. Play continued iu favour of the visitors, and 111- tiinatoly they roached .).3, a total which proved 17 too many for the Eastsidera, THE ONLY SUCCESSFUL RINK. Thia was the only successful rink of the Morristonians, and the Eastsiders on thp I ether rinks managed to wipe out this defeat by two. Skip W. Denning, after being level • at eijht all -it the tenth end managed to j get his men in such good positions that at the completion of the ga.me they were up j eight. The Eaatsiders on Rink 3, nnrler kip .1. R. Palmer, werc. in clover during the early ends, aud added ten while the visitors were looking on. The Morristonians were a hlc to wipe out a few of the, adverse shots acainsf them. bat the Jersey quartet were in the c?d up by eight shota. On the re- I mining rinks th quart(>t, L?d to fight h&rd for points, and a-lLhough the home- sters hold the led for the creator part cf 1 the game, the balance in favour was very aniaJl. Eventually, Skip A. R. Griffiths and his ciubmates l-xi the satisfaction of win- ning by three phots, which helped materi- ally to gÙe the Eastsiders the Leagne points. SALISBURY SHORT-HANDED. Owmdonkin entertained .Salisbury on the Mount Pleasant green in a "frienå ly" Salisbury were short-handed on each rink, and after the usual points had been de- J ducted, they were heavily defeated by 85 shots. From the outset the Salisbury wood- | rollers were outclassed, and prolific scor- ing on several rinks irvcraased Cwmdonkin's total at a, rapid pace. At, the tenth end they were 28 shots in frcnt. after aecumu- iatins: 54, while five end liter they 50 ahead. A FDfE AGGREGATE. The Owmdonkin woodroller- kept adding toO their to Lai. and at the 21st end had com j piled the splendid a&gr»gate cf 123. Th9 visitors managed to reach the half-century, but twelve shots ha/1 to be deducted, leaf- Ijut twcli-e. haA ing the^omraters in front by 65 shots. On eeveraj of the rinks the scoring was rA- markable. The Salisbnryites. under Skip C. P. S:ott, held their own nntil th'? levnt.h end. when they verp thrM' up. Skip R. D. Morgan afterw ards altered tlw position. and receiving excellent support from his part- ners, monopolised the "kitty" for the re- mainder of the game. They scorod rapidly, and reached 30. in response to eleven by the visitors. The Mount Pleasant quartet, un- der .kip Jim Gill, ecored even more rapidly, and at the 18th end claimed 37 shots. Ar, this stage the visitors had only scored four, JUST A LITTLE! i- ?: t Mr. Lewis was n little bit—just a weeny j little bit anxious at 1 his stage of the game, as you will. no doubt, ohst"Y. bu in the next two ends got in four and five counters i effectively, sending their aggregate to 19, In the laiit end the Cwni- don kin trundlers conn ted three, thus giv- ing them a majority of Z: CHANGE OF FORTUNES The Owmdonkinites under zlip D.

At tho thirteenth eud the totals wore level at 11 all The Salisbury fried hard to recover their lost lead, bur the Cwmdonkin quartet were not to be deniod, and gained a two I f'hot verdict.

Six miles away is llawarden, Gladstone's historic hou-se; in the chm-ch nea,r by a monument was recently raised, to the young squire of Ha.w«r<teo, who was killed in the early days of the war. YROM RHYL TO LLANDUDNO. The ride from iKhjd to Llandudno is a most enjoyahla one along the eoast. pass- ing on the way Abergele {2,¡W Ooiwyn Bar; thsnce up the lovely valley of the Oonway j to Bettws-y-Ooed, viii, Conway, Tal-y-Cefn, and Llani^vst, one of the most baautiful rales in Britain.

TYRE VALVES. I don't know what the exa,et oatuw i-s, bu*. certainly «)mc of the ejcie iu^oessojriicw 1 iuA'i 3 bought lately have n-uot, hecri so good as in t,he before the war. Porita-iki it is that the ferras are so b:u-y war-working that, they haven't so much time to awnd upon the cycikt'a minor wants. One thing I have not-iced particularly which has been mot-t unsatisfactory of late. That is v.aJ.ye j tubing. a small thing, you may say. True, but nevertheless oi the greatest im- portance. Poor vaiva. tubing can uicuke more trcuble ,tha,?} anlmost, any cth-er s-mall thing of wiiich 1 know. The majority of slowly deftatiKg tyres leak through the valve. You may not be able "to detect the leak by dabbing a wet finger on the nÜv.{t entrance and watching for the bubble, but that doee not say it does not exist- Per- sonally, 1 make a point, c-f fitting a new piec.e of tubing in n(; Y' of slow age. STRAIN OF CONSTANT PUMPING. It. is. not ncoefsary, of course, for the vatvo nib her a to bti abaolutei yperiohed be- fore ttwy allow the air to escape. They trie em nomotimeff to loee their elasticity end n?t to grip the stem tightly. At other times th?y glue thsms??-e? ao tightly to tba tt?m -a? to prevent the eay passage of air inio the tube. In this caee constant pumping cau^sea tho tube in swell out, and rth'8 f-tia-in lea,d. to it becoming eiigliiiy porous. In removing the Old tube sea that no bite, of rub bet remain stuck to the stem. Nw ruober will slip more easily on to the stem if the latter is moistened beforehand. Always keep valve rubbar in chaik; it preventis it from perk-hicg.. TO QUIETEN TH:E EXHAUST, No coneidera.te inot«or cyclist can really enjoy a epin if his nutchiue is curted witli a 114Diy exhaust. To me it makes motor cycling a paia rather than a pleasure. motor cycliste, who would never think of using a.

Is that not, so. fellow rid&rs? I fro-nkly that, with the wisdom of many years' ex- perience, before starting a, long et.e&p climb which is liable to give trouble, I always reeort, to one of the trick* that we ueed to pin our faith tt), to secure a cl«<an ascent in the 3? h.p. single gear days—refilliiig the crank case with fresh oil.

A Quarter of all hour ie usually enough: then half-artdozen fresh charges of oil, and I am in the eaddle again, a.nd over the brow of the hill without, any bother.

Comparatively few driver^, know how to properly reverse a car. They can- all do it somehow or other. But wliat I mean is that comparatively few do it, in a clean and businesslike manner. Yet with a. little practice it is quite a simple process. The urgent necessity of being able to reverse well must be apparent, to everybody. I think the reason that so many motorists make 11 mcc-,& of the j..b i, that they ha.v.a never learnt, or, at any ra-te, pra.ctit.ed, the art of reversing- They are content to wait until they h?Te tc re.en Iwfore they at- tempt, to do it. It i? marly always ibe ?,B,y 1a6t thing to b? l??ntt in dnving a. oar. HOW TO REVERSE. Personally I attach a great deal of im- portance to it, and when I have been teachia.? anyone to drive 1 have always taught him how to rrrver&e during the early stages of his. initiation. The best wa.y to reverse, I hava always, found, is to turn half rcrtud in the seat towards the oflf-eido.. and to hold the top of the steering wheel with the left hand, while one foot ohould ho on the clutch a.ud the other on the foot brake, See that the read ia 16t tbA clutrh in gently, and mowe slowly beck- warde. in mind that you must, steer in -the opposite direction to that of the forward drive, and never give a eudden Jerk to correct ft, swerve. If the car is moving too much to the aide, better t'olip out the clutch and apply the foot bringing the oar to a. standstill arid start ing afresh. IitPROVIX G PAINT WORK. As e-o many owners of elderly cars have this year given up all idea cf having the coach work repainted, perhaps a hint or two on renovating dulled paint, work will be welcome. A few honrs with a paraffin rag and some polish will improve a car almost t-es-ond recognition, especially if it has bt-en somewhat neglocted. HaiO plenty of an rag by yon. and tear it int.o strips a", -required. Damp one of the etripfs with parafun ard tackle a small section of the body, rubbing lightly until all stairc, and dirt have disappeared. Polish this scot ion with a dry cloth, and then on a. fresh section, so going over the whole body. USE LINSEED OIL. Use a clean ra.g for each section. When the paraffining process is fmk^hed, Ico.vo the car for a- couple of-days*, then gi-IB i t another polish with a, large soft, cloth to remove the fh>&! traces of paraffin, a.nd then start -polis-fams it. 1 knerw of no betle-r or cheaper car polish than lins^eed oil ap- plied with a gft rag. Only a small qu&n- tity i? 'eqniJ'ed. and ift. i? bst lett i?T ? s left liT a, few houm to dry before polishing com- menoes. Two p-clishing^ a.t a week's intt^r- val are advisable, and if a third polie.il with furnitrue polish can be given the trouble will be well repaid. TltE WANDERER." j

LLAHELLY SPORTING GOSSIP, (BY "WALLABY.") Interesting tournaments hare been ar- ranged under the auspices of the Pare i Howard Bowls Club. There is a rink I tournament; and also a double tournament, both of which a re open not only to the I members of the Pare Howard Club, but also to the Tuesday section, which has a single.-1 tournament to itself, while the Pare Howard Club has also contined a singles tournament to its own members.

THE BOXING RING,
THE BOXING RING, Jimmy Wilde's Travels With Booths. (BY FEMDEAGON. 'l In hia hour of triumph. Jimmy WIlda cc- knowledges the value of his trivets with Mr. Alf Harry's boxing booths. He came up against, a number of fellows big enough to eat him. but his judgment of riictancb not only helped him to keep out, of reach of their powerful punches, but a];:ü enabled him to get nome telling punches to the point. I notice that since his victory over Taney Lee, doing the sights of London. oi Wednesday he JOOKOO in at the House of Commons, and received hearty handshakes from a, large number of !it 1 u the licuae of Lords he realised his ambition by hearing a real live duke speak. In Swansea, Jimmy s" victory over Leo is still the principal topic among HOTting rata. The morning after the con- test. men on their way to business saw in Portland-street the news that "the inimit able one" had won in the eleventh round ebilked on the pavement. A is AMUSLNG EXPERIENCE- Writing of his experiences in "Thomson's Weekly News." Vv iide telis an amusing story which is cf local interest. Ho says never forget one bout 1 had at Swan- sea in Alf Harry's booth. A farmer-looking fellow docided to referee the bcmt. and though he knew as much a bout boviog as a he d'.J.0S about ewimming', he the tirci to come forward when M. neutral referee asked for. It so happened that this "ae a boat in wl^k.li there was a great deal of clinching, which, no doubt, the re- .fr.roo did not appreciate. Unfortunately fo- our feelings, the raw 1b&ek-to4h £ vland youth carried a stick ".thick, no doubt, had [been used in encouraging beasts to go to aocl from the markets- As soon as we cinched hf) would ca-1 i ('ut.l.ea.ve go,' and if we didn't answer promptly to the call, he prodded one of us in the ribs with this stick of his. That's right," shouted Jack Scarrott, poke 'em up a bit-ri-glie them fi.¡:ht.' All we could do was to grin and hear it, but. I could see my opponent was i not, there to be laughed at. Coming into the clinch again, the referee seemed to think hat because 1 was the cleverer boxer that I was to blame for the hugging besi- nesfc. As it was, the big fellow kept hang- ars: on to me like ivy to a Voali.. If you don't leave go, i ll let you have it,' he said to me, and after jabbing me in the side with the point, cf his stick, I saw him lift his stick, no doubt with the intention cf planting it fairly and squarely on my glove.. Jviit at, that mnmeni I pulled my gjovo away, and dovon came, the stick on my op- ponent's thinly-clad back. TiiEK THE FU>. OOMMENCED. Well. that certainly did make as break «aj, for the badly abueed ma,n. with a shout, of Who ar', you hitting: dragged himself from my embrace* and if he 1 oil not been held back no doubt the ■-efcrce would have undergone the putting to al-eep process. It took us all our time to tho man to let the matter drop, but i-e swore vengeiuee when once he met, the aspiring Eugene Corri outside. Everytliio^ went well until the third round, The re- feree once more became a bit ofiVious, r r> as my opponent had not cooled -io.v.i. j knew there would be some firework. so«it«. And there was, too. V, hen the referee waf* trying to pul) my hands away. my oppo- nent swung round with his richt in wind- mill fashion, and caught the r(-ferce a beautiful back-nander in the Y,H¡. With a yell, the referee bit out. with his foot, missed the object be had aimed at, and aid a, double somersault before he o-.ttled hia benes on the boards. The affair went no fi.rtber. I had to piot&ot the unhappy 1"1:- feree, and Alf Marry eventually managed to get him to leave the ring The patrons were quite elated with the excitement, and desoribod the bout as the funniest they had ever seen. 'Wliy,' said one, you can get a longer laugh a.t All" booth in two hours thati J-nu cculd in all the musio hallii in the country." CABDIFF CONTESTS. The Lynn Institute, Cardiff, was crowded on Wednesday ev Mting.. and One quality of tho boiing was quite, up to the usual aver- ajcc. Expectation for a keen and escitihu contest was realised in the flVrourd hout between ioung J. Bic-e. Cardiff, aud F. Rozsi, Pontypridd. Hossi, taller -and longer in reach, u,rq his left hand well asraiust a resolute and plucky opponent, who had the advantage of coaching from {sergeant' Jim Dri&coll. The Mth round had gone two minute when £ os?i got in a smashing punch on the chin and followed it r p quickly- Rice was counted out. but a. gallant effort to rise. Young Fred Welsh, Pontypridd, and Young Rested, of Cardiff, went eight rounds, and the cont-est. was drawn. A ten-roxind contest betweea "k'oung Josephs, Portypridri, and D, Morgan, Tir- phii, had a surprising ending, the referee announcing1 a decision in favour of Joseph* at the close of the eighth roui't? t-. The Swansea promoters appear to be .et. down to a, period inactivity. On tho occasion of the meeting of Idris Jones with Luther Thomas we were Md of prospective visit; from Young Johnny Symoods and Johnny Summers. Seemingly the arrange- aiat3 for thc-se have not matured. WhHe talking of local boxing, I am reminded tbat ilr. Jack Dohert-y, brother of Mr. W. Do- herty. the timekeeper Rt, the Olympic, was married thio week at the Humbles. The is of interest, not only because Mr. Ucheity came from Omdurman—■where 1" holds the position of superintendent of police—for tho wedding, hut by reason of h's confection with Swansea sport some vea-rc ago. Before securing a police *v poirtment he served with the Lancers KAERELL BEATS BROOX5. The meeting of Willie Farrell. of Quth. ward and WiU Brooks, cf Abt-ra-Ton. in a. t.vroirtKls oout.e.st drew a big attendance in t-ho Ijiverpool S: adillill on Thursday night, fin the whole, the bmJt was very interest- ing, Earcell graining the vn-djct when Pr.?e?? retired in the Hth round. The open- Ill1.>' Touad was brim?nl of intewst, a? after Farrell bai knocked away half a d<yz- leads, he dealt out some he?-y punishment, three ti:nM )and;nK left hoo?a to (.he jw: varied by freauont drives to the. body with hath hands. Brooks' score wm n. solitary uppereut. In the second round I* arrell cet- tied down in sterling fashion, and hiniug v>ut hard and fast, in every direction, he placed Ecooka entirely on the defensive. Farrell cot home half a dozen hard hooks to the jaw, but Brooks quicks shook eff their effects. Tnen the Ijondoner changed lib tactics, aad playing hrwd on the body j caught Brooks vuf his balance on ono oc-^v sion. and sent over a terrific left. to ihe jaw. In the third a.nd fourth round* Farrell dis- regarded his defence somewhat, aivd Brooks troi. home ssv?raJ times on the fare and jaw with considerable effect. Siill, Farrell's punch* were finding the head, jaw and body, though they never once disturbed the, Welshman. A WRIST INJUR*, 111 the fifth round Farrell made r, Eeadway. and scoring four times with half- ar ri blows to the jaw, had Brooks on tho ropes. The Welshman came back aga-n confidently, 'and when Farrell sailed in was met with two stinging left hooks to ili- jaw. Farrell was very aggressive again rt tho nert round, meeting man with heavy swings on the body; but Brooks !'){'k his punishment, well, and repaid it in 9im. iltir coin. whilp he also prodded a-way stcadity at Farrell'e undefended Pace. By. this time Fsrrell's sparkle of the early rounds had gone, an4 with it mu-ch of his judsrme^t. Oil one occasion he rushed in with a terrific left, swing, hut Brooks nearly stepped aside, and Farrell rolled ù.r in the ring several times. In the next, fevr rounds thA pace diminished, but in the twelfth the pair renewed the, battle s-ircnuous linep. First Barrell got in half a dozen hard punches on thp. body. but Brooks responded with plenty of vigour, and hooked a hard right, to the. jaw several times, while a fast rally closed the round. The bout cudcd in the next-, the 1..5th round, as after Farrell had scored several times on the body. Brooks held up his hand in held iip hii i. tokc nef retirement, complaining of injury to his wrist.
