MY SECRET.
YOUNG HAMMOND
EXPLAINS.
What is the secret of success in bafting? naks W; R. Hammond, of Gloucestershire.
Every batsman must, of course, watch the ball carefully, wait for it, and then, having decided upon his stroke, time his shot perfectly. But besides doing this, every good batsman develops his own peculiar gifts, which are the foundation upon which hia success is bullt.
I attribute my success to the fact that always play my natural style and never cramp myself,
But, essential though it is to be natural, there are rules which everyone must follow if he is to make anything like a decent show.
"The first thing to remember is Hay that the ball is sent down to ba Mac-hit" That is the way I always look at it. And it is not necessary to use brute force to send it flying to the boundary or to score freely. The physically strong man is sel- Perfect don the prefect hitter.

The whole secret of my baiting success lies in hitting the ball. My rule is never to let the bowler bowl at me. If I find he is tying me up I at once endeavour to hit him off,
My advice to the young batsman is not to be content with just play- ing the ball. He must try to hit it always. It naturally follows that more care must be exercised with very slow bowling. Against such stuff the batsman must be more
