K in d l y S e n d P o st c a r d f o r C a t a l o g u e , P o st F r e e — JACK SHARP, 38 Whitechapel, Liverpool J a c k S h a r p ’ s Special New Century Bat can be recommended as possessing all the qualities necessary to help the cricketer and improve his game. The blades are made from the best close- bark willow, the han­ dles are treble rubber spring; shape, balance and workmanship are £of the finest. Jack Sharp personally selects each Bat, and his experience on the playing fields should be of extra value, combining as it does sound knowledge as to materials, make, and finish, that go to the making of a class bat.
