Mr. O'Brien says he is seriously thinking of taking up the sport, even though he has never participated before. One thing is sure, however, and that is the fact that he will be a spectator quite often. Very seldom has Mr. O'Brien ever missed a baseball or hockey game in the years gone by, and bowling promises to be no exception with this sports fan.
