ENGLISH BATSMAN

One, slightly more enthusiastic than the rest, prophesies that Hammond is in for his greatest season ever, and that his high scoring in the coming test matches will cause him to be called "greater than Bradman—and the world's Nb. 1 cricketer." Walter, himself, would probably liot like to have to live up to this rather exaggerated estimate.
