The Duke acts as “uncle” to hundreds of boys, especially those who through unemployment are more or less stranded when they leave school. He makes many presents of boxing gloves, cricket bats, pads, and other gear for games to deserving clubs in poor districts, and many a lad enjoys a game of cricket through the Duke’s “uncle-like” qualities.
