J. L 1 LLYWHITE, FROWD & Co.s HewPaternAcmeVentilatedLegGuard. The lightest and coolest ever made, combined with ample protection and great durability. F rost V iew . B ack V i k w - A most important desideratum for cricketers is to obtain thorough protection against the fast bowling of the present day, with a minimum of weight to carry. Many amanwho has looked like making a long score has failed to do his best from sheer want of staying power, caused, to a considerable extent, by being hampered with hot and heavy 4 Pads.” Although there have been seveial attempts of late years to remedy this by means of Skeleton and other Guards, none of them hitherto produced have ever found much favour, owing to being either too heavy or too flimsy. J. L., F. and Co. now claim that they have solved the problem completely, their New ACME VENTILATED LEG GUARD being far lighter than any others, averaging only 13J ounces each. They are thoroughly ventilated, allowing the air to circulate freely between the Pad and most of the front of the leg, yet at the same time giving the most ample protection. They are also thoroughly strong and durable. Price, in Buff Leather, 9/6 per pair. ,, Superior White do., 11/6 per pair. ,, Finest White Kid, 12/6 and 15/- per pair.
