NEW BEDFORD TRADITION
RoIeigh's Bowling on the Green
Perpetuoted in New England
BY CHARLES COVELL
Outdoor Editor

NEW BEDFORD. Mass, Aug.
M-This is the city that origi-
mated Moby Dick and in which
old timers can remember pinch
penny Hetty Green picking bits
OF string off the sidewalk be-
fore she died a Midas.
But although the whaling
days are dead and so is Hetty
Green, one tradition is very
much alive. That's bowling on
the green. In fact. its followers
say, New Bedford is the only
place in the whole United
States that has it.
Now everyone is fl miliar
with how bowling has zoomed
into popularity. You can find
plush new alleys everywhere.
But although the choice may
vary among tenpins, duckpins
or candlepins, according to the
section Of the country in which
you live, it's much the same
game.
Not bowling on the green.
It's entirely different from the
indoor variety and only family
akin to another outdoor form,
lawn bowling.
Ancient English Game
Bowling on the green is the
ancient English game Of bowls,
certainly dating as far back as
Sir Walter Raleigh's time. Law
renee Worden. president of the
New Bedford Bowling Green
League, says he has bowled on,
the same green that Sir Walter
used.
A small white ball, or Jack,
Is used and each bowler at
temptS to put two balls, or
woods, as close to it as posi-
bic. These woods are about 5Ja
inches In diameter.
Bowling on the green, also
called crown bowling, is rolled
on a crowned green; that is,
one that Is high in the center
and tapers gradually to each
edge. In fact, the center is ex-
actly l8 inches higher than the
edges. Size can vary, but usual
ly 1t is about 1870 by l40 feet.
Greens Manicured
The green's are neatly mani
cured, much like a golf green,
and the cost Of one that is well
built Is mbelievably expensive.
They should have q base of
cinders and drainage pipes
many feet in depth and four
that were constructed by the
City Of New Bedford cost $780,
600 more than 40 years ago.
To play. a bowler needs to
buy two woods, a jack and a
rubber pad, all imported from
England because there is none
to be had in this country, for
a total cost Of $50.
Only other piece Of equip
ment necessary is a steel meas
uring tape. also English-made,
which has q little pair OF cali
pers neatly contained in the
base. The tape is to settle argu-
ments, which often wax long
and loud, about whose ball is
the closest.
Woods Tapered
The jack is larger than the
one used in lawn bowling but
the woods are only about half
the size. being roughly az
inches In diameter and weigh
ing from 2 pounds Z ounces, to
2 pounds is ounces. Made of
tough lignum vitae, they are
not round but shaped much ,

iod.
The Hornets spotted Ethel
a saftey in the opening NOM
ents fo play with Quarterback
Paul Chambers adding the
only Tiger touchdown midway
in that period on a "a yard
run around left end. The at
tempted extra point was un.
successful, however.
Lexington came back string
in the second quarter and on
a fourth down situation late in
the quarter Autry passed five
yardds to Sullivan for the
score. The extra point boot
was blocked.
Following a high defensive
third quarter, the oHrnets had
a pair Of offensive thruIsts
stopped in the fourth period.

Spirit OF Christmas" Should Be
Used In Driving During Holidays

ed If the people of Mississippi
would show RESPECT for the
true meaning of Christmas
and have it reflected in all
their actions during the holt
sdsre season there would pro-
baby be no accidental deaths

Wise cautioned the motor
isis on driving during the
holidays and reminded them
that most Of the states 700,-
900 motor vehicles would be
on the highways and roads at

find the meat good cubed for
salads, casseroles and meat
pies. It's delicious sliced for

curry and almonds or pine
