Douglas is perhaps the hardest worked captain, we have known. He will bowl all day, and is a rare good bat and field. For many summers he had carried Essex on his back.

John B. Hobbs, who was said to be going to Africa, has accepted his second invitation to join the M. C. G. in Australia.
Hobbs, who is a great favourite in Australia, is at the top of the batting averages. May his tour be a record. He is rightly styled the greatest batsman of all times...
Sandham and Strudwick will help to remind him of home, especially if the former and Hobbs, as at the Oval, are the first-wicket pair. Sandham is the third in the run-getting list.
Strudwick fully deserves the honour. None will deny that he is
