CURLING TOURNAMENTS.
Rules Of the Game rs Descended TO l.
from the Scots.

Rules Of the Game rs Descended TO l.
from the Scots.
Scotia was kind 10 the brotherhood
OF the world when in contributed curl
ing to the list OF winter sports The
gift antedates even golf. or gown, as
the Scots used TO call il when Robert
Burns was a boy. Curling as played by
championship teams to-day in almost an
civilized countries where ice Is available
I'm the winter time is precisely the same
game q was 800 years ago, when played
on the frozen lOchs of Scotland. Not
a change has ever been made in II, nor
is IL likely that there ever viii be. Curl
ing is complete And so simple that To
change any feature OF 10 would mean
10 spoil the game
The pastime is either "a descendant Of
bowls. or bowls resulted from curling:
authorities disagree on this point. At
all events the games are almost alike
in object and methods except that one
Is played on the ice and the other on the
green. For curling a round stone. fiat
tened top and bottom. supplied with a
goose-necl< handle and weighing about
forty pounds Is used MS the missile Fo~
bowls an oblong wooden ball, weighted
At one end. is used.
The curriers' field consists Of two tees,
or targets. scratched into the ice l25 feet
apart. The teams consist of four mon
each known technically as lead num-
her two. vice skip and skip. Each man
Is provided with two curling stones The
object OF the game is for one sid. 10
get one or more stones nearer 10 the
bulrs eve OF the tee than the nearest
OF the opponents. The stones are curled

from, a footbrace cut In the ice just back
Of one tee to the other tee. The oppoh-
ents play alternately. one side trying 70
spoil any advantage gained by the other,
or 10 improve its own position as 'ns
case may be
After the sixteen stones have been
nlaced I'm this way count is taken and
the winning side is credited with the
number OF points gained. Then the
PLAYERS revers6 direction and drive the
stones 60 the other tee. keeping this
IN for twenty-one ends in championship
contests. The skip or vice SKIP re-
mains IN the objective tee At all times
directing his man as to the direcuon'
weight and turn desired for each stone
The two players Of a team not engaged
In the tee or I'm curling keep themselves
warm by sweeping away all particles or
ice and grit from in front Of the on
coming stone.
BY twist II the wrist in driving the
stone il may be made 10 curve one way
or the other when IL approaches the tee.
Thus It IS sent around obstructing stones
that may be lying in front Of the tee
or made TO carom OF them. The win.
ming stone IS called the shot. and all
efforts are made throughout each end
TO maintain Il. In well contested matches
between evenly matched teams the shot
often changes with every player. and
Il is not until the last stone is PLAYED
that the winner Of the end IS decided.
Tho game combines tho eXhilaration Of
bowling with tho science and fresse Of
billiards with the added attraction Of
being played upon the Ice and in the
open air. II IS essentially a -gentleman's
sport. and IS never played for a money
prize. Outside of the tournaments the
stake Is usually Sandys favorite dinner
beef and greens Rough language Is
unknown among the curlers-when they
are curling.
All the Canadian towns and most 81
the American towns Of the Northern
states have one or more curling clubs
who compete in all kinds Of champion
ship matches each winter. The inter
national championship between Amcri-
can and Canadian clubs occurs every FIVE
years, and Is usually played In Toronto.
where plenty Of Kinks are available and
the temperature can be depended upon.
over 200 American teams competed in
the last international match but were
beaten by the Canadians who have
more opportunities for practice
