NICOLLS , ROBERTSBRIDGE, PATENTEE & MANUFACTURER OF THE AUTOMATIC BAT HANDLE rp H E S E engravings show the advan- , tages this handle gives, \ as each curve forms a key or abutment, against the elastic substance. Although these handles are in two pieces from the shoulder of the blade, it is impossible to get them out of shape. These bats, introduced in 1889, have been used by the best Cricketers of England, Australia and New Zealand, as well as having been sent to India and Africa, and the uni­ versal testimony that nothing has ever been brought into the Cricketing world to give such advantages to the batsman in cutting and driving powers A quaD tity o f All- C ane-H andled Bats, w arranted (a little soiled ', offered at a v ery low figure.
