Li. j . f l icouns, ROBERTSBRIDGE, PATENTEE AND MANUFACTURER OF THE AUTOMATIC BAT HANDLE rp H E S E engravings show the advantages / this handle gives, asl each curve forms a key 1 or abutment against the elastic substance. A l­ though these handles are in two piec *s from the shoulder to the blade, it 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.
