The ground is situated at Manor Way, Lee Road, Blackheath, which is rea’ched by trains at frequent intervals from With Eleven Men Longing to See you return to the Pavilion and each doing his best io send you there, it is just as well to equip yourself with the best bat made. With the “ M.C.C.” bat in your hand you stand a better chance of defeating the well-laid plans of Captain and bowler —a better chance because the "M.C.C.” is a better bat, a better balanced bat, and a more poweiful driver. T H E » MCC 33 B A T Built mainly of specially selected Sarawak Cane, the handle is made on a new .and entirely successlul principle. The utmost driving power is obtained with a total absence of stinging, and it is absolutely im­ possible for this handle to become "sprung.” The blades are carefully selected from the choicest close bark English Willow, well seasoned and hand-hammered throughout.
