W1I iCl>i1AM ADVANCE -TIM 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, Alex, Dr. A. J. Irwin, Mr. and Mrs. Win. Field, Mr. Jas. Gilmour, Mr. W. H. Willis,. Miss Lewis, Mr, E. J.
