THE FORTY-SIXTH ANNUAL NATIONAL OPEN TOURNAMENT OF THE AMERICAN
LAWN BOWLS ASSOCIATION-SEATTLE, WASH., AUG. 31ST THRU SEPT. 4TH, 1967
As at the 1966 ALBA National Open
Tournament last August at Niagara Falls,
New York, the 1967 ALBA National
Event will again have an international
flavor, being held in Seatc1e, Washington,
not far from the Canadian border. If our
1966 Northwest Division Annual Tournament
and the 1962 World Tournament,
both held in Seattle, are cri teria, there
will be a large delegation of British Columbia
lawn bowlers on hand, as well as
some from ocher Canadian Provinces; in
the 1966 event, approximately half of the
entries in the Tournament were from
British Columbia, and back in 1962 there
were 23 top players competing from
British Columbia, along with entries from
Alberta, Ontario and Quebec. If you
want real keen bowls competition, you
will lind it here!
To the four excellent greens in Seatc1e,
we expect to add the fine green in nearby
Tacoma, if needed, and we surely hope
we will be called upon to use it. Tacoma
is about the same distance from Seattle
as we had in August traveli ng from iagara
Falls to Bu.ffalo for matches. Bearing
in mind that we are limited to live
greens, it is suggested that entry blanks
be sent in as early as possible, as the
number of entries will undoubtedly have
to be limited.
The Tournament will be handled by a
wide-awake Committee under the highpowered
leadership of our ALBA Past
President Larry R. Hennings, who was
Chairman of the World Tournament
Committee five years ago which overcame
many obstacles in connection with
the World's Fair and produced a highly
successful event, and goc Mr. Hennings
a plaque for distinguished service to the
City of Seattle from one of the radio stations.
Mr. Hennings is also Tour Director
for the American Lawn Bowls Association,
having handled the recent South
African Tour, the 1966 "Spectarors Tour"
ro the World Bowls Championship at
Sydney, and is now in charge of organi zing
the 1967 ALBA Tour ro Britain, so
you can feel confident that this will be a
well organized event - a good T Ottf1M ­
m ent! .
Seattle, inclUding all the glorious Pacific
Northwest, will be at its beautiful
best in late August and early September
-the evergreen countryside, the blue waters
of Puget Sound, with snow-covered
Mount Rainier dominating the landscape;
Seattle (one of the youngest of the larger
cities of the country and one of the fast-
By Charles P. M iddleton, Honorary Chairman
est growing, but still one of the most interesting
and inspiring) is awaiting you!
Ample reservations for the expected
influx of lawn bowlers have already been
made for you at two places-the brandnew
Sheraron Motor Inn, 400 . E. 45th
St. ( at Interstate 5 Freeway ) in the north
end of Seattle and at the friendly Max­
I vor Motel, 6188 4th Ave. South at Michigan
St. in the south end of town, the
latter owned and operated by one of our
prominent lawn bowlers. The ALBA
Council Meeting and the Annual Banquet
will be at the Sheraron Moror Inn, the
former on Tuesday, August 29th and the
latter on Saturday night, September 2nd ;
also, at the Sheraton there will be a nohost
hospitality hour get-rogether on
Wednesday, August 30th at 5 p.m. so
that bowlers may get better acquainted
with each other and the Members of the
ALBA Council.
Herewith is a Program of the Tournament,
rogether with various entry forms
and reservation blanks which you may
clip ou t and use as soon as you have made
your plans. Please send entry forms ro
NW Division Secretary Condie M. May,
and room reservation blanks direct ro the
Sheraton Moror Inn or the Max-Ivor Motel.
Inquiries of any kind conneCted with
the Tournament may be sent to Secretary
Condie M. May, and will be handled
promptly by him or the proper member
of the Tournament Committee.
WE WANT TO SEE YOU I

Dear EditOr:
I am sorry to report the death of
Richard "Dick" Auld, age 72, of iagara
Falls, . Y , a long standing member of
the Hyde Park i.B.C
Born in Stevenson, Ayrshire, Scotland,
he came to Niagara Falls in 1923. Died
in his sleep, Sunday, OctOber 2nd, 1966.
Included in his accomplishments was
the winning of the National 1l0urnament
Singles in 1944 and 1948, and skipped
his partners to win the 1939, 1941 &
1951 National 1l0urnament Doubles. He
was a regular in winning many district
tOurnaments and club championships.
Dick was a great promoter of Jawn
bowling particularly in introducing young
men to the lawn bowling game, and was
instrumental in organizing the first league
of its kind, ('The Industrial Lawn Bowl·
ing League,") in the cOllntry, which in its
second year ballooned to thirty-two "four
man teams." He was always ready to in·
strUCt new bowlers, and many of the pro·
ficient bowlers of today in the Niagara
district owe their prowess to his tim ely
instruction.
H e served twice as president of the
Hyde Park i.B.C of Niagara Falls, . Y ,
and was always ready to give a helping
hand.
Dick wi ll be missed by his many
friends.

WALT DISNEY
LAWN BOWLER
Walt Disney ... has passed on. He is
not forgotten, and will nOt be forgotten
as long as there are men who hold fast to
those eternal values which were so much
a part of Walt; his never failing kindness;
his concern for others; his wholesomely
enthusiastic enj oyment of life;
his dedication to the work of proving
that success is not dependent upon promoting
the ugly, the unclean, or the bizarre
disrortions of the Way of Life in
America.
Those are the things which the world
will remember about Walt. Those of us
who had the pleasure of being with Walt
during parr of his play time will remember
those values toO, but we will also remember
another side of him. That side of
Walt wh ich brought equally enthusiastic
application from him in his love of Lawn
Bowling, and how eagerly he looked forward
to the time when he could be with
his fri ends on the green. H e wi ll not bf'
remembered for his prowess in playing
the game, but he will be remembered by
all of us for his love of the game, his
wi llingness to lend his time and effort ir
furtherance of it, and his display of those
same fine qualities during play which
were never failing in whatever he associated
himself with. His devotion to the
game may be best show n by a remark he
made to one of his teammates during a
game at Beverly Hills L.B.c. when he
said, "I get more fun from making a
good shot while bowling than when I
make a good picture."
H e showed his pleasure when he had
made a good shot, and he could berate
himself when he carelessly made a poor
one, for he felt he had let his teammates
down; this he could not permit any more
than he would allow himself to be found
wanting in whatever he applied himself.
His schedule would not permit him to
devote the time he would like to have
for improving his skill through practice.
but his love for the game never wavered.
Twice a year he sponsored a Tournament
at Palm Spri ngs on the Smoke Tree
Ranch Green and it was due ro his enthusiasm
that these T ournaments became
the most popular of all rournaments in
Southern California.
Bei ng invited to a Walt and Lillian
Disney Tournament at Smoke Tree
Ranch was looked forward to with eagerness.
As hosts, the members of this beautiful
desert playground, are without
equals. Only those of us who knew him
well knew the extent to which he was
devoted to bowling on the green, and
the extent which he was willing to gi ve
assistance in whatever he might be asked
to do in promoting it. Lawn Bowlers
throughout the world have lost a great
friend; one who was much more helpful
in promoting the game than was generally
reali zed.
Walt Disney
FOUR WALKED TALL
Kyeemagh, Australia
Those of you who are still young at
heart will recall very vividly the delightful
scene in So Dear To My Heart in
which Grandma Kincaid talked to Jeremiah
as he was about to enter the judging
ri ng with his black lamb. You w ill
remember, too, how he heeded her advice
and left the ring with his head high.
only to be recalled to receive a special
award for he was in a class by himself.
In recent weeks, as I have recalled the
World T ournament in Sydney. I have
rhought often of the incident ;l nd of four
men who walked very tall at Kyeemagh.
When they reached Syd ney. Ti m Candelet,
Arthur H artley, H arold Esch and
Bob Veitch were almost in a class b"
themselves. No newspaper or journal
wri ter had bothered to consider them as
contenders for titles. Australia, South
Africa, England, ew Zealand and SCOtland
were often mentioned; a few others
might cause an occasional upset, but nOt
U.S.A.
Ir seemed that the most interesting
thing about the team was that two of its
members were born in Australia. The
only value of this was that it gave me the
inside running in communicating with reporters
who had played again t me. I
-10-
did my best to make use of this in changing
the image of the team.
The firSt recognition came when we
were called the "colorful Americans," but
no one was prepared to take my assertions
about the team or the reports from
Lane Cove, where we practiced, too ser iously.
No one was about to believe that
we were the dark horses of the series.
On Ocrober 10 we opened with pairs
and triples. Our long preparation and
careful deliberations led to the selection
of Harold, Bob and Jim ( skip ) in the
triples with myself lead ing for Arthur in
the pairs. In each competition the teams
were divided into twO seCtions of eight
and each team played a round robin of
seven games. Then each of the leading
four teams in one section played the leading
four in the other. Only these games
counted in determining the wi nners.
To the consternation of everyone, except
ourselves, both teams finished in the
first four; the triples team rose to grand
heights in coming first, the pairs were
fourth.
a words would do justice to the performance
of H arold, Bob and Jim. They
were a team in every sense of the wore<
Each played magnificently; each respected
the others and had great confidence in
them.
In the post-seCtion games they continued
to play well and gave their opponents
a tough time and, though they won only
one game, an ounce of luck could have'
given them more. They lost a cliffhanger
ro the Australians who went on to win
the competition.
In the pairs the story was much the
same. Our greatest moment came when
we defeated the eventual winners A uotralia.
eed ing five to wi n on the last
end we gOt them. The story of this game
is on the official film.
Then came the singles and rinks.
Arthur was given the task of playing 15
champions in the singles while I moved
with some perplexity into third position
in the rink; I was deeply concerned abom
upsetting the smoothness with which the
triples had functioned. I need not have
been concerned; Jim, Bob and H arold
made it easy for me.
If we had been elated by reaching
sixth place in two competitions in the
fi rst week, we were due to sustain our
feeling through the next. Arthur met his
challenge as those who know him believe
he can. Luck was not always with him.
Against Bryant he was bowling smoothly
when rain came and changed the pace of
the green. Bryant was able to adjust
ad just quickly and went on to win.

AT SYDNEY
Perhaps the most dramaric shot in the
\Xlorld Tournament was the one that
David Bryant played [0 win his game
against Snowy Walker of South Africa.
Early in the game he had established
what appeared [0 be a comfortable lead
only [0 see Walker whittle it down with
some superlative shots. Then, with the
result in balance Walker held two shots,
ten inches apart, both in line with the
jack and in front of it. Bryant carefully
studied the position and with a beautiful
drive sent the two shots flying.
The shot was characteristic of the man;
he plays whatever shot is demanded no
matter the state of the game. With every
shot at his command he is abom at technically
capable as possible. Even more
important is the fact that he plays the
shot that gives him the most chance of
success. He frequently follows his bowl
[0 the head and waits there till his opponent
has played his shot. Then there
follows a quick survey of the head and a
decision about his shot. In pairs he discusses
the head with his partner and accepts
advice from him. Then he hurries
back [0 the mat, wasting as little time as
possible.
I was greatly impressed by the smoothness
of his delivery, his very great skill,
his ability [0 assess a bead and his determination
to play the most advantageous
shot at any time. To all this must
be added a most gracious trait; no one
applauded an opponents shot more freely
than he did. H e is the essence of good
sportsmanship and in every way a worthy
-:hampion_
Yet there were many who pushed him
hard. One of these was the late John
Hershaw of Scotland. Their struggle in
the singles was a titanic affair. John's
game against Arthur H artley was another
classic and he left all of us with the impression
of a great player and a fine gentleman.
There are heavy hearts tOday for
Hershaw died soon after his return to
corland.
In the singles game in which he was
beaten, David Bryant went down [0 Maldwyn
Evans of Wales. The unhurried calm
of this veteran of 29 years was an object
lesson and the ease and grace of his delivery
made it a delight to watch him
play. His style was matched by his im ­
Deccable demeanor and sportsmanship.
He was responsible for one of the most
remarkable events of all. In a see-saw
game against John H ershaw, he reached
what had to be the last end. Tohn had
only one bowl left to finish the game.
The shot was in doubt and anyone else
would have called for a measure had the
head remained undisturbed. Not Maldwyn
Evans; he examined the head carefully
as Hershaw walked back [0 play hi,
bowl. Then he called to his opponent
and conceded the shot and the game.
These giants among the singles players
left behind a number of impressions.
They are without exception great sportSmen;
they all deliver a bowl smoothly
and gracefully; they play every shot well
and have no hesitation in deserting the
draw when another shot is demanded;
they give themselves every chance by in­
'Decting the head frequently; they are
fighters; they rarely talk about their op­
Donent'S luck and they do not offer excuses
in defeat.
It must not be thought that only the
, ingles players exhibited these qualitie,.
Team play gave many an opportunitY to
display others. Many fin e skips displaved
eyce;!ent qualities of leadership; many
showed great ability as team members.
Many games [Oak a long time to finish,
partly because many bowlers foll owed
their bowls to the head and parrly hecause
there were many conference, hetween
players about the best shot to Dhv.
It was rare that the skip [Oak cr,mDlet p
charge of the game - (John D ohl,;e of
Australia which won the l eon'l rd CUb
was one). The conferences meant that
the players knew precisely what the head
was like and what was expected. Our
triples team illustrated this very well.
There was, however, one by-product of
the conference that was a disadvantage at
times. Some one must u1timately make
decisions about shots and accept responsibility
for them. In a number of cases that
I saw the skip did not make the decision.
-12-
Some had strong willed thirds or viceskips
and not a few skips found themselves
playing shots they did not like.
One skip looked the picture of misery as
he s[Ood on the mat in a permanent state
of perplexed indecisions.
All that is known about the successful
operation of groups makes it clear that
the one to make decisions in bowls has
to be the skip. His role is sometimes very
difficult, but if he presumes to be skip he
must accept the responsibilities of a skip.
At times he must be ruthless in meeting
challenges [0 his leadership. Some teams
in Sydney failed because the skip did not
exert leadership; he did not make decisions;
he did not inspire his team ; he
ignored their suggestions or he did nothing
to build a team.
The games tended to be more aggressive
than we are accustomed to here.
Many showed how effectively the drive
could be used, especially on such greens
as Kyeemagh and under the conditions
that prevailed there. The greens often
ran at 17 or 18 seconds and it was rare
that there was no wind. The wind blowing
directly down the green made great
variations in the pace. When it blew in
gUSts, as it oEren did, it made control
very difficult. Against England in the
rinks we were faced by a nightmare of
strong gusts blowing diagonally across
the green. On the adjoining green some
of us adde.d grey to our n air as we battled
with gusty winds that found their
wayan to the green by way of a narrow
opening between two stands. Under such
conditions it was asking [00 much of any
player to draw to a [Oucher or beat a
close shot. It was often better to drive [0
dislodge the bowl; at least the player
could rely on his bowl going in the direction
he sent it if not always in the one
he wanted.
One other thing-do forgive my saying
it-I did not see a single block played
while I was in Sydney.

Take YOUt· time-Always watch your
bowl in course all the way down the
green-you "own" the mat until your
bowl comes to rest. Only by studying
the action of your bowl can you correct
errors and roll your next bowl
more accurately. "BOWLS" is a science,
the study of a lifetime, it has been
written. I believe you may have expected
too much from too little study
and practice. Start over again "from
scratch," and I am sure you will make
it this time. But it may take a bit of
doing!
Concentration-To become a good
player at Bowls, always concentrate on
the delivery of each and every bowl "
you roll, even in practice.
