    1. [BRK] Incredible Bowls from E. W. WIX and W. D. LOVEDAY ( 1921 )
    2. >From Hawera & Normanby Star,( N.Z. )Volume XLI, 15 January 1921,Page 4 BOWLING. A striking illustration appears in the Australasian, copied from English Field, of a head at bowls, where seven out of eight bowls lay within one foot of the jack in a four-ball match between Messrs. E. W. WIX and W. D. LOVEDAY at Wantage, Berkshire, England. A New Zealand bowler appreciating the paragraph says that in New Zealand such a head would not be allowed to stand, for a player would have driven and smashed it up - " Skittles more than real bowls."
