On and off he was given further trials, but this sort of thing is very unsatisfactory to a young player who is very apt not to show his form. Why some years ago, Tyidealey, who shares with Abel the honour of having scored 2,000 race this season, went to the famous Layland club in Lancashire for a trial by Mr. John Stanning, the famous cricket patron. What happened? Why, Tyldesley got three consecutive "dack egg, and Mr. Stanning did not engage him.
