336 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. A u g u s t 8, 1895. b. j . N icoim s, ROBERTSBRIDGE, P A T E N T E E A N D M A N U F A C T U R E R O F T H E AUTOMAT IC BAT HANDLE GRATEFUL-COMFORTING. Cricket Coach, Cheltenham College, IS THE BEST AND CHEAPEST MAN FOR CRICKET, TENNIS, FOOTBALL AND GOLF GOODS. T H E S E engravings show the advantages ill this handle gives, a s w each curve forms a key or abutment against the w elastic substance. Al- I though these handles are v in two pieces from the | shoulder to the blade, it v is impossible to get them | out of shape. The bats, | introduced in 1890, have been used by the best Cricketers of England, Australia, and New Zea­ land, as well as having been sent to India and Africa, and the universal testimony is that nothing has ever been brought into the Cricketing world to give such advantages to the batsman in cutting and driving powers.
