THE LATEST FIND.
BY
SINBAD.
Though Tate and' their other men may err. their -bowling be batted about,’the English have dug up a player, to put all the Aussies to rout. The coming of Grimmet they dreaded, and Mailey was feared by them, too, but now for a win they are headed, all through this discovery new. “What care we for Ponsford or Taylor,” says England, "Do we fear them? Nix. Though Oldfield should whip off the bail or Macartney hit Kilner for six; though Woodfull unequalled in dash is. and Bardsley is still at his best, we’ve hopes of regaining the Ashes, or drawing at least every Test. If Ilobbs cannot win us the battle, and Sutcliffe can not do the trick, yet one man the Aussies should rattle, and make them quite easy to lick, he gets the best bats in a tangle, so let lucky Collins beware, and bowlers in vain strive to. wangle, their wiliest tricks when he’s there. And so,” thus the Engglishmen sum up, “the Ashes we hope to regain, by means of this find that has come up—our matchwinning player is rain.”
