Hint 1: Clue Explanation
▼This clue is a bit of a warm-up for the puzzle’s theme, in that I needed to think of a different usage for the word “Bowlers.” I thought of pins in an alley instead of hats; then, I needed another word for hats: DERBIES. (Incidentally, the bowler hat was named for the haberdasher who created it, while the derby was named after the Earl of Derby, who organized a race for 3-year-old horses in 1780 in Epsom, England, that was attended by fashionistas of the time, often in hats of that style.)
