This Jaques Bat bears the signatures of approval of ' f jfS?<i various Internationalists who represented England, Aus- L^IO tralia and South Africa in the season 1912. p^^T With such an endorsement of approval little further FJSII--M need be said in praiEe.of this triumph of cricket bat r^ft:? v i making. J^~^J-]'J''k The fine white English willow with its straight, ji* l||J broad grain running the full length of the blade, is a de- , Tundoh* light to a judge of a cricket bat. < c >^' . Not a Fault in the Blade O■ || v from end to end. Although it is well woodedj it is shaped ? t > , 'fe '; in such a way that perfect balance is attained, and the !* driving power is greatly increased by the correct placing '<"« , ". ; of an ample thickness of wood exactly where it is most f ' _ effectual. ; c 1 An important feature of the handle is that it is slightly - t jttnJjJMftau, "laid" forward towards the face of the bat. In the opinion ' , ', of prominent players this tends to give the ball a down- •. ward direction. Further, it improves the balance and Tpz> rfi^y«~Gives Increased-Driving Power, ■ ' -V and the full benefit of the Bplicing is brought into play. i^S^^*" & Moore, f i. , J. , * { f Stuart Surridge, ClapsMw. etc. Leather Cricket Ball&, SI b9j,i watejl I best makes, Stumps, Nets, Matting, W.K.
