ON THE BOWLING GREENS.
ON THE BOWLING GREENS. Busy Time in Store for Local Clubs. I (By WOODROLLER.") I The month of August promises to be Tat her a busy time i'or local woodrollers. ?o? only will the Aloud Shield produce many exciting games, but the Inter- national" tournament should arouse the u?ual interest on the next Hank Holiday, while later on the inter-league match with the South "ale and Monmouthshire .:k -C, r Victoria Park on August 12th will be sure to create much excitement. Welsh Associations of the town have already had their annual meetings, and have decided to take part in the tournament. The Scottish Association hold a meeting on Monday evening next at S.30 p.m. at, the Royal Hotel. All Scottish bowlers resid- ing in the town are heartily invited to be present, and I am sure Mr. Neil Melndeor ■will be pleased to enrol new members. VISITORS AT PLAY. Recently several visitors from beyond 'the Cheviots have been putting in a good deal of practice on tho local municipal greens, and would be an acquisition to the Scottish Association if they could be in., duced to become members. A fortnight ago a. number of them took part in a ■friendly game between St. Gabriel's a.nd Cwmdonkin, and their enthusiasm on that occasion was simply contagious to all around the green. The tournament for the Eden Cup is annually placed between the Scotch, English and Welsh bowlers of the town, a.nd has produced some excel- lent sport, in past- years. The games hate ¡.been fixed for next Bank Holiday on Bryn- iriiil Green. Last year, it wili be remem- bered, the Scottish Association did not •take part in the competition, and only one game—England v. Wales-was played. Wales were successful by 17 shots, and I -became the holders of the cup. They will, rhonrever, have to be well represented in the coming competition if they intend to -n-etain possession of the trophy, as both the English and the Scotch bowlers are exceedingly anxious to be the guard- ians for ttw forthcoming year. DEFEAT AVENGED. On Saturday Victoria. succeeded in avenging the defeat sustained earlier in the season at the hands of Park Llewelyn, they won by two shots -oil the Victoria Green. The game was equally as exciting as the first game at Park Llewelyn, and the last ends were watched with keen in- terest. The green was in excellent condi- tion. and as was becoming to the reputa- tion 01 both sid. the bowling was of the .best. The Victorians were the first off the craark, and at the fifth end had secured an cidvanra-ge of five sliots. In other games this might have been considered very small. but on this occasion it was of great magnitude to the home wood rollers. Neither side could take liberties, and when lialf the heads had been completed the iposition was much the lme, as the home- sters held a five shot lead. Five ends later Victoria,n.s were still up by four. A NARROW MAJORITY. They stuck tenaciously to their lead, and "when three of the rinks had finished the [Llewclvnites had a fine chance of winning. Skip Fred Heed, however, was coolness [personified, and never made a mistake. "with the result that the Victorians just managed to get home by two shots. As might be expected from the narrow majority, the rink victories were evenly ■divided. On Rink 1 the visitors settled down cfuickly, and soon began to build up ■A useful lead. At the 1011i end Skip W. Griffiths and his partners were; up nine, on ML score of thirteen, but (J,riprw;¡rd", the Victorian*, under J. "Bowler," made -matters warm, and drew level at the fif- teenth end with sixteen all. The Landore <)Hart?. however, quickly recovered, and b v raising: t.h?rtotalto22ov?rtopp'?d their opponpnt?' a?Erre?ate bv four. The flgh on Rink 2 was exceptionally k?'n. and the totals of the quartets directed by k¡J1 Hy. William* and Oeorge Clark -were never far separated. At the fifth end ^be ,vores were level at four all, while five ends later each claimed nine shots. EXCITING STAGES. A.s the last --ii(t approached each side tried its utmost to ,<ra.in a lead, and ulti- mately the homesters were well satisfied when they finished up three shots in front after scoring 10. On Rink the contest -wa.s not so close, judging by the scores, ,bnt the Victorians, under the direction of Skip Fred Reed, had to go all the way rto hold a seven shot lead at the tenth end, a position tbey also maintained at (the fifteenth end. Skip J. Clarke tried all thp could to keep the homesters in check, as he knew that the success of lilt; club- auatos on a neighbouring rink might pos- sibly retrieve the fortunes of the day. •Skip F. Reed and his clubmate-s, however, were equal to the task, and finished up rwith thirteen shots to sparp after compil- ing thirteen. Park Llewelyn's most <*w«fu! rink consisted of F. Brewer, D. J. Williams, T. Jones, and Skip Tom Miles. TRANSFORMATION SCENES. At ore period of the game they seemed 3ikely to be severely trounced, and in the rfirst ten ends could only muster five shots 3n response to twelve by the Victorians under Skip J. Hanson. Afterwards a com- plete change came over the game, and the I.andore quartet began to add shots so quickly that when the fifteenth head had fbeen completed they had not only wiped out their defictt. but were two shots in rfront. In the raeantiipe the Victorians struck a had patch, and could enlv score tnn». The visiters continued to makes con- siderable headway, and at the twenty. ,first end claimed a total of --Ii shots, which vivo ten too many for the. homesterK. Thefc two points .should now put the Vir- torians in the running for league honours. [Much, however, will depend on the result of the game played at Pare Howard day- 1F PARC HOWARD WIN. I/tea I bow lei* will be anxious to har the result, as should Park Llewelyn have enccpftded m repeating their earlier per- formance over the Howardians, they can hardly Vie deposed from the bead of Sec- tion B unless later on St. John's spring a surprise. It the result., however, i* favourable to the Howardians, the Itioll will become very interesting, and the Ultimate winner* "'is section will be problematical. Man-elton, are aL the head of Section A," /iOtill continue on their victorious career. On Saturday they visited Neath, where tliey defeated the Kailwaymeu by 5:3 shots. The Mansel- ionians have every reason to remember the Mount Pleasant green, as it was here they opened the season with a defeat in- flicted by Melvn United. On that occa- sion the visitors were ^hurt-handed, but on Saturday took great care that this fault ehould not be repeated. The Railwaymen were unable to keep pace with ihe visitors, find at the 1.enth end were well behind, a.s they could only score :18 shots in reply to 55 bv five Manfteltonian*. WIDENING THE GAP. Five end s later the totals were still fur- ther separated, and the visitors held a lead of tO tshots. Assured of victory, the Manseltoniaus played confidently, and de- spite the pecuiiariiiep of the green, topped the century by nine. while the Railway- men had to be content, with .)1: The vi,si- ten up on three naks, while on the other rink the Kail way men secured the verdict by one shot. The Manselton quar- tet directed bv Skip Morgan John opened well, and ai the fifth end were ,six up on a. -core of eight. They then lost the kitty fur the npxtfiye end- and the Fail way- men, taking advantage ot this, raised their total to eleven. SEVEN TO THE GOOD. At the fifteenth end the Manseltonians regained the lead, and never looked back, eventually winning by seven after accumu- lating 21. Skip Felix Lewis and his clnh. mates were in a happy mood, and, although down by one at. the fifth end, soon rectified the position, with the result that half-way through the game. they were eight up. Afterward s the Railwaymen were very rarely able to claim I he" kitty, and finished up with a dozen shots, in the meanw h ile the Maiiseltonian.s pro- ceeded to .score rapidly, and terminated the, iilst end with an aggregate of S3. Play ■a.s even more in favour of the Mansel- tonianson the next rink, where P.C. Jones. D. Spraggon. LI. Harris, and Skip Trevor Weaver were hardly at, any time in diffi- culties. SCORE MOUNTS QUICKLY. During the fjrst: ten ends the Railway- men held possession of the kitty once onl v. consequently the score of the visitors mounted quickly. At tile t-n(I tlie-v held an advantage of 18, and continuing in the same winning vein. claimed 34 shots to 8 at the termination of the game. The visitors under Skip (J. Be van looked like- having a cheap victory, as at the 12th end they held an eleven .shot advantage. The Railwayman, however, made a tine re- covery, and though down by five a4. fli(I completion of the 19th end, managed tt. !■ win by one after compiling 22. "RIFT IN THE LUTE." Dyfatty can generally be relied upon to field a, representative side, but on Satur- j; day they were badly let down owing to a couple of players 'tailing to 'turn up on the Morriston Green, wheore Morriston were opposed. There has been a little "rift in the lute" recently, but the players should strongly support the stand taken by the committee end give them all ( the assistance that they can. Had Dyfat-ty been able to command a full quartet on each of the rinks, they would ha.ve gained the League points. They managed to ex- ceed the points scored by the. Morrssion- ians, but were obliged to submit to the usual twenty-five per cent, deduction or two ri nks, which brought their total be- low that, of the homesters. Dyfatty prac- tically held the lead throughout the game, and at the 15th end appeared to have the poin<? we]I in hand, as they had scored 58 shots to 41. They, however, gradually lost the advantage, and their excess ot ?ots at the termination of the same was not sufficient to counteract the deduction made. A. Johnson, T. Ree«, and "van Hill were opposed to i quartet con- trolled by Skip Haydn Eees. KEEN-AND CLOSE, Throughout the game play was keen, and neither *ide could claim a decided advantage, though at. the 19th end the visitors had gained a four-shot lead after scoring 21. The MorriMonians in the last couple of ends placed a two and a single, thus making the Dyfatty majority of the smallest possible dimension. As this was one of the short-handed rinks. the exeeSB of shot s was not large, enough to give them a, win proper." The quartets directed bv Skips W. Hewitt and Tom Morgan put. up a fdmilsr and tbe kad fre?ju?n.tl? veered from one sid e 1.0' the other. At the 1.6th end the totals were on a pa.r, while, at the J9th end the result, was still indeiei-sive. Skip Morgan, how- ever, had the betjter of the ln«*t couple of end?. a.nd won by two cbotq on a total of 16. Skip B. John, who wain control of a Morriston quartet, on tmanceuv red the ;i. Ai<)rriston oiitnia.p.?iiiv rr,<, till' hold their own until the seventeenth end. but from this stage fell away. The home- sters afterwards placed a eouplf of fours, which increased their total quickly, and ultimately placed them. at. the head of affairs with ten s hots to spare. E. Grist, P. -lames, and Skip P. Jenkins, who repre- sented Dyfatty on the remaining rink made a gallant effort to save the game- Right from the outset they outplayed the Mo rristomans. and iicoring rapidly com- j piled the fine aggregate of 27. The home- sters could not make much progress, and fell sh ort of their opponents' total by 16. DEFEAT OF NBATII. ISeafch have neen doing ao well recently against, (Jllbs at the bead of their division that Alexandra anticipated a, tousrh propo- sition at Dyfatty Park, where Neath were I the visitors. The Castellnedd trundlcru in fact. made a good opening, and at the fifth end commanded a seven-shot lead. The., however, wer., unable, to keep up this early form, and the Alexandrians quickly made inroads into the Neath ma- jority, and at the tenth end had soored 44 shots to 34. Five ends later the position re- mained unaltered, but before the termina- tion of the game the home bowlers had in- creased their advantajr? to seventeen, after collecting 83 shots. 'On the actual score, hot.i sides claimed two rink victories, but a. 25 pc:1 cent. penalty on the Neath quartet, directed by A, Jewell deprived the Neath- it. ? of that adxantipe. &kiu A. Jewe? and bis two dnbmate" during the opening ends evidently found the srreen much to their 14kine, as at the fifth end they had got ten I (cnntI'wh¡¡e fbeir opponentK. under ?kip .T. R Goker. could pniy claim a sinzlp. At the fifteenth head they were still ten but here their sricoe-s-s stopped #hort. 1'bR AU-TanHrian* scored on the »ixt*ertth head, sud held the kitty for tbe remlÚndflr of the irame, and decreased the Neath Wd to threo A DISASTROUS TIME. The N~e-itb four directed by Skip J. Morris experienced a disastrous time dijring ihc eariv ends and the Alexandrians, taking achantaee of a little laxity on the part of a couple of the Neathites, qui* kly estab- lished a commanding1 lead, which the visit- ors found impossible to wipe out. The Alex- andrians on Ritili 3 seemed to gain thcir shots in peculiar fashion, ami Skip W. Nor- I man. after beinc down by six at the flfth .-nfl, managed to draw levi at the tenth end. at nine all. Aeain t,he home qiwtet fell away, and the visitors gained a seven- shot lead. The Alexandrians managed to reduce this to five, after seorrnjy 27. P. i Jfc'oley, W. fileeman, II, Sweeney, and Skip ¡ A!f Coker made no raiatfike asainst the visitors who were controlled by Skip 1). J. JJavies. The homesters led almost from thn .opening end. and a' the 21st end totalled 22. an aggregate which the visitor? failed to i-eaeli by ten shots. FALL OF MELYN. I Melvn United have been doing remarkably well this season in the Shield competition, but on Saturday they oame a cropper at Jersty Park The Eastsiders scored rapidly, an t their total cached within two oi the century, while the Melytiites were limited t J 67. The Mclyn trundlers were evidently unable to get the run of the green, and the great majority of the shot < were nar- row. The length generally was good, but, the green at Neath seemed to IIKUC forced them to take little land, The F^aMside skips also showed a better conception of head- buiiding, and the visitors should h:nl> •earned several lesions in this phase of the game- It is no good trying to get all the wood' on the jack, especially if shots ora badly required; a few "poiiccmfii," or back woods, arc generally very convenient Some of the Melyn side, however, draw shots very well. and E. Mort and W. David were most persistent, tome of the best bowling I have seen for some time was given by Thomas as third man to Palmer, and th<' fight between him and Mort was inter- esting.

THE BREAKING POINT | THE BREmNT…
THE BREAKING POINT | THE BREmNT 1 WHY DECLARATION OF LONOON WAS WiTHDRAWi'i BRITISH NOTE TO NEUTRALS | The Foreign Office on Saturday issued a -\o,(,. addressed by the Bi-itisit Gonrn- mentio neutral ref>reseTitafives in Lon- don respecting the withdrawal of the! Declaration of London Orders in Council. The Note contains the text of the Order in Council made last week effecting the change in the rtile-s hitherto adopted hy Uh> Government to govern their conduct of warfare at sea during the present hos- tilities, and the memorandum drawn up by Hie Brjtih and .French (;-4N-(,rnment61 explaining the grounds lor the ioeue of tll" Order. The memorandum slates that at the j beginning of the present war the Allied Governments, ir. their anxiety to regulate: their conduct by the principle of the law j of nations, believed that in the Declara- tion of London they would find a 6uitahln digest of the principles and compendium] of working rules. LESSONS OF EXPERIENCE. They accordingly decided to adopt the provisions of the declaration, not as in itself possessing for them the price of law, but because it seemed to present in the main lines a statement of the right" and duties of the belligerents based on th.» experience of previous naval wars, As the present struggle developed, accjuir- ing a range and character beyond all previous conceptions, it became dear! that the attempt made at London in time of to determine not only the prin- ciples of law but even the forms under which they were to be applied, had not! pioduced a wholly satisfactory r(,ul'c. A-, a matter of fact, these rules1, while not in <1:: respects improving the safeguards afforded to neutrals, do not provide )?Hi?erents with the ino?t eE'ective means oL exercii-in? their admitted rights. INNOCENT NEUTRALS CO M PRO- M I SF- D. As events progressed, the Germanf powers put1 forth all their iugenuity to re-j lax the pressure tightening about them, i and to iv-open the channel for supplies, Their devices compromised innocent j neutral commerce, and involved it ill suspicions of enemy agency; moreover the manifold developments of naval and military science, the invention of new, engines of wa i-, t he. concentration by Germanic powers of the whole body of their resources on military ends produced conditions altogether different from those prevailing in previous naval wars. THE BREAKING POINT. The rules laid down in the Declaration ot London could not stand the strain ini- posed by the test of rapidly changing j conditions, and tendencies which could not have been foreseen. The Allied Governments were forced to recognise j the situation thus created, and to adopt j rnle<s oi the declaration from Lme to time to meet these changing conditione.. These successive luodiacatioll's may per- haps have exposed the purposes of the .Allies to misconstruction. They have, thereto* ColllC to the conclusion that they must confine themselves fimply to applying the historic and adn>itted rulee of the law of nations. The Allies solemnly and unreservedly declare that tho notion of their war-hio?. no less than the judgments of their I'm,o Courts, will continue to conform to these principles, that thev will faithfullv fulfil their en- gagements, and in particular will observe the terms of all international reg° arding the laws ot war; that, mind 1 ill of dictates of hnmäuitv, they repudiatei utterly all thoughts of threatening the lives of non-combatants, that tlipy will not. without, cause, interfere with neutral propertv, and that if thev should, by tho j action of their tieete. cause damage to th" interests of any merchant acting-in %ood faith, they will always be ready to con-j sid-er his claims and to erant him such redress as may be duo.

A lesal position which leaves the law-abiding, '•itiztJii in cloubt ie bad government, and must be ended as quickly as poseible HOLIDAY IN WALKS. 1 have had a letter this week a reader who NVE"Ilt.E, me to map out for him nnd three other friend&-a,li are munition I workers by the way—a four days' holiday in South Walos. Fifty inilec, a day ie what, they want to Uo. so the following round of just over WJ miles should •su't them adnuabiy. I have peculiar pleasure in aoceding1 to this request, for I know of no othsr form of holiday which will do them to nuich jrood, and fit them for thE" strenuous work thev have to perform. Mv correspondent tells me that ha and hie friends have only had two hoiid&y since the year beet»n. Taking Cardiff u. etar.ing point, this is the route to fo'low'- Cardiff to .Newport, Cnepstow. 16; Tin- tern. 5i; Moumouth, Kington, 1%; Penybont. drindod We-lle, 5; Builth. 7?: Llanwrtyd, lli'; Llandovery. 11; li'andilo. 12i; Amnmn-t ford. 6: Ponta-rdawe. 10g; Xeat.h, 5i; Aber- avon. 5J; Cowbridge, 6i: Cardiff, "2" total, 214 mile* The reed to Newport is umitxers.blj- bad. but after tha.t comes the run up the vaJ- ley of the Wye. one of tho moat lovely of I-!riti«b rivers—a n e ver-to-be-f or gotten ex- perience. Among the most no-able spot* ot Wynd Cliff, which i", 700 feet high and from tlie top of which eome superb vi«ws • aN' obtainable. Tintern Abbey. Symond's Yat, and tHe view from Ece-s Bridge. The ride to Hereford is rather a nraw ore. there being ssvoral lorjg bilis to dimh; then follows an easy undulating run for a fe.v miles, the bill gradually becoming more and more severe towards Builth OVER THE SUGAR LOAF A rough road follows the Sugar Loaf to Llandovery, the 16<"t 4t miles of which ar» AU down hill. Thence by a good road, with a few rsteep hi Is. to Ammanford and Neath. Three miles beyond Neath there ie a vsrv ateep end somewhat dangerous de- unt. which n<?ds ?Teat oa*?. A capita! load e;wr:p." all the way back to Cr,ii;, but Tumbledown-Dick Hill, five miles f:-om home, needs great care in descending. I am sure my correspondent, and hi", friends will find this a moet interesting holiday. Away from the towns the scenery i very tin-e, and the air i8 glorious, whil many piaoas ot historic interest are passed en route. WHERE TIlE TANDEM SCORLS. At one time the tandem wa.- extremely popular, and in the course of an after- noons ride one met a great many. Trip- lets, quartet?, ar.d Quintet.- also enjoyed a limited amount of popularity, but except on the track t.ht'y never proved really isuc- oeeeful. But the tandem wtw quite a dif- ferent proposition, and attained to a degree of popularity "orne of my moet glorious holidays have Keen spent, on a two-seater. Perhaps the chief advantage of the donhie machine is that, it JeveJs up the relative [ strength of both riders. It is a disadvantage of single machines that the pace must al. ways be that of the slower if there i* ?o no lagging behind For nen- Ufi jndividu- &is tbe back seat cf the tandem has many advantages, particuJarlv in Inuiy thorough- f;;res. One thing nec(*s\ry for comfortable tandem riding is tIInit,¡¡bloe gear; the oro. inary geAr is generaily too high for arer. ass riding. For fL !ady-back machine about 64 is sufficient, but. the bftt. thing is to have a good rhre^-epeed witb » normal 66 to 70. There 1#1 a swing about a. tandem ,.o fitted tha.t make* it one of the most, enjoyable erperjene<vt in cycling. TO LOWER COMFHFUSION. When one bays a new motor-cycle one may safely conclude t-bilt the engine IS rvet with the right compression to suit practically all c-ofiditiorlei.. To tinker about with it, unless ore is ouit*, that an improvement oan be effected, is a mistake. But it is another stori, so far aR all old machine is concei-naci. and there are nwtnv machines on the road that would be greatly improved, if the compression were slightly lowered. It wonld save overheat- ing. which is one of their chief character- istics, and would make them more flexible, and easier to start INSERTION OF "WASHERS" A couple of thin plate,* slipped over the crank ease bolts on to the cylinder plate so as to raise the cviinder by about 1-56th of an inch is usually Quite enough to bring about the desired result. After having in. serted (thiese tin washers." you must verify the valve lift, adjusting1 tho valve tappets so that thterê is only a bare clear- ance between the stem of each valve and its tappet. A film of fish glue over the tin plate is advisable to pi event oi! leakages. THE REMOVAL OF CARBON DEPOSIT. A most useful tool for clearing the rar- bon deposit from cylinder head and piston tap can be made out of a piece of thick bar iron, flattened at the end to en almost sbarp edge, and bent over about two inches of its length at right angles. For re- moving the deposit, around the valve pockets, exhaust union, and the pocket beneath the valve there is nothing better than an old. burnt,, table knife..Special attention should be devoted to the yevp pockets 8.8, obviously, any deposit of oaoon here, will restrict the entrance of fresh gas and the exit of exhaust gases. Another ( point which should be specially attended tJ is the rim whicu is invariably found in the cylinder just above the top of the stroke of the piston. Try 10 g6t' every particle of carbon away, leaviup, ot leaot, no lumps. It is these lumps which, becom- ing ineandesoem. cause pre ignition and knockirg 011 hills. In the oM daYIII of accu- mulator ignition I have ween a dirtv en- gin" firea. way merrily and regularly for five minutes or so €_fter the current had t.een switched off. this being entirely lo incandescent carbon. Personally, I off tho piston bead and cylinder wp with coarse amery paper PARAFFIN AS FUETI, Since the days when motoring itrained to sticli enormous proportions the lJ<Xioti- bility of substituting paraffin for petrol hAil oecupied the minds of inventors end motor- ¡',t, But the present, position of the Detrtl supply—or, rather, I should my distribu- tion—is so eminently unsa,tisto,-for.v, and prices are so <•> vi inuuit, that the introduc- tion of some alternative fuel ie ioipervu tllve. Whatever may be the meehlniaal objections to paraffin, its cardinal irtue is certainty cheapness. In addition, the s> p. ply is abundant, and the likelihood of future ta-:arion remote, owing to it. e\'e»i. sive use for other Inl!. A PROMISING CARBURETTER There is at least one promising paraffin carburettor on the market. which may do much to popularise the use of such a cheep alternative fuel. Thi* paraffin carburettor is additional to the ordinary carburettor, the engine being started up on petrol in the ordinary way. and the paraffin car- bitrettor switched into action after the en- gine hoc- got hot enough for perfect vapor- isation, which ukes about ,h!2, minutes' running. The main tank contains paraffin, the Petrol being in a supplementary tank situated in any suitable position on tne car PLEA FOR AN INCLUSIVE PRICE. I Why won't our manufa,tirerts generally .Idopt, the excellent American method of charging an inclusive price for a oar "all or.3" I knew their exen^w—tliat buying everything separately enables the pur- chaser to sel'Sc: his own accessories. But I don't think there is much i>oint in this, es- pecially as if the purchaser wa nt e. special kind of speedometer or lamp, this can be supplied, and the price adjusted accord- 1 in?ly. 1 am quite sure that o;? of tbe )"oni' why the sale of ?ankeec-" has been so :reat in this country is owing to this inclusive price, and our manufactur- ers would find that the adoption of such a. plan would greatly il1('t.a.e their sales, AN UXFAH ARRANGEMENT. friend of mine was lately teiling me his experiences.
