WON DIAMOND MEDIAL
Interesting Letter From Mr,. A. M.
Crawford:
His many Wingham friends will be
delighted to know that he has won
the $65o. Diamond Medal for bowling
which he mentions in his interesting
letter. Alex's newsy letter will be
read withinterest by everyone and es-
pecially by the members of the Wing-
ham. bowling club,
St. Petersburg, Jan, aotli., i926
Mr. A. G. Smith,
Wingham, Ontario.
Dear Andy:
I promised you I would give a
small account of ouyr trip to Florida,
Well the notes that I took down on
my diary book, 'I have mislaid and as
yet have not located it. But if I don't
locate: it, I will give you a small as
count of what I can remember.
I have been kept,very busy with the
bowling, I arnsending you under se-
perate cover a ,paper with a small ac-
count of my games, They have a
$65o,00 Diamond Medal, that was giv-
en by the Pres, of the Club and a Sil-
ver Cup. The medal you cannot take
home with•, you, I mean' back north
when I say home, but the cup you can
if you should be fortunate enough to
win the same. It is played this way:
Everyone that wins three games
quits. Then when they have all .play-
ed, those that hove•won 3 games go in
groups and play to the last one,
I might state this is not rink games
it is singles. I have not lost any yet,
but have had very close games and
have managed to come out on top as
you will see by the papers. I had an
awful hard game today. We play 18
ends and dead. ends do not count. I
had to make 4' of them today to win.
I was 2 down coming home that is I
had to get two to win and one to tie.
I .made this. As yet T: am the only
Canadian or American. that has won
all my games. We hid a large gallery
today, being a very fine day, like our
July days home. In my shirt sleeves
nothing but pants and shirt, no hat
and believe me I was hot. They don't.
like to see the Canadians win. But
that don't make any difference, we
will make them like us. You will no-
tice they are getting more friendly in
the last paper they have it Alex in-
stead of Crawford. They did not pay
much attention to me at first, but I
am one of the big -fellows now in the
talk. . The open tournament start's
here this coning Monday. I might
state that I have picked up 4 Canad-
ians to play with me. I think that
they are all hand picked. Win. Brown,
a young Irishman, leading. from Tor-
onto, Jake Hutlier from Guelph, 2nd.,
and Dr. Gallonough, 3rd., from Tor-
onto. I might state the Dr. is going
to play with me in the Doubles and I
do think that we will be in the money.
There were two'•bus loads of us ta-
ken over to Davenport yesterday, 32
in all, They were opening their, court
there, as you can not call it a Green
for it is not. The Pres. pulled off a
novel stunt. He took a $,o bill and
a $5 bill, put his pen knife through
them, and used them as the Jack, the
lone that came the nearest got the
$zo and the 2nd. nearest the $5. We
just had two bowls each to try for it.
Then the one the .,nearest he put a
nickle where the bowls carne to Test
bad so on. So that we all had an ev-
'en chance. I might state that as soon
as you played and the bowls came to
rest, they were lifted and taken off
the court, so as you would have no
chance to wick in for the nearest. I
got one of my bowls within a foot,
but it was no good so ,you see they
were getting pretty close. They have
over 200 members here now. I don't
know if this will be of any news to
you, but I thought the boys would
like to know how I was getting the
time in. Well the - whole trouble is
the time is going too fast for rile here.
far faster than at home, at least it
seems that way. You go down in the
morning and if you are not there • by
8.30 you will not get a game, and the
afternoon x o'clock. They have x6
rinks, 14 ft, wide and all just like a
billiard table. I don't think I - told
you that It was sand that we played
on, no grads at all, in fact they have
as much trouble to keep the grass
frons growing as we, do to grow.
They are building six more rinks now.
You would think it was cement that
you were going to play on, but it
plays awfully good,you can take a
borrow on either. side of from d to ro
ft wide and you have sure got to put
your bowl away -straight and very
keen, just lay them down, I' have
seen the wind blow a bowl 3 to 4 feet,
that does not seers possible, but it is
a fact. ' The weather here has been,a,
little wet and cool, so they say from
other years. But the coldest they
have had here was 38 above, so you
know back north you would say that
was warm and that only carie two
nights,
Well Andy as it is late I will have
to close. I will write you later and tell
all about the tournament.
Yours Sincerely,
