Warner's Brilliant 1903 Test Team
B. J. BOSANQUET MAKES USE OF "GOOGLY"
(By R. Abbit)
Australia were to receive an English cricket team in the winter of 1903 and during that summer England woke up to the fact that not since 1896, when there was the sensational match at the Oval, had she won the rubber. Obviously a great effort had to be made and the M.C.C. decided to sponsor the side, for the first time in Test History.

Buy a tin of Three Threes, take out the cigarettes, bunch them lightly in your hand, and look carefully at the ends, noting the colour of the tobacco. You will soo that the tobacco of Three Threes is a beautiful light golden colour-that unmistak- able shade which moans that the tobacco has been picked at the peak of its perfection, from the finest of the crops.
