No oneraf course," would say that a cricketer is past his best just because he is over 36 But all those players just mentioned were practically as good ten years ago as they are now. They were then the youngsters cutting out the older men. But now that they are the older men themselves, co youngsters are cut- ting them out. There is a big signifi cance in this.

In addition, there stand the i. vete- rans, men in the fortiesome in the fifties such as P.. Perrin, Cox. Bestwick, Quaife John and, George Gunn, King, and J. Sharp, among others, who have been made to appear almost as good as they were in, the days when eyes were keener, fingers more supple, just because the newer generation have not " come

Of such kniversity players as 02 0. Allen, G. T. S. Stevens, C. T. "Ashton, A. P. F. Chapman, and T. C.. Lawry there is nothing very new to be said They are young enough to improve, given bealth and sufficient time for play. They are also young enough "" to progress backwards, as the Irishimas. is alleged to have said, in that astonishing way peculiar to youth. But, up to a point, their form is settled. We know what they have done and what they might do

ELE TAYLOR.“

A more doubtful case--and, therefore, a more interesting cases that pro- vided by CH. Taylor, who, as'n fresh- man, made a hundred for Oxford against Cambridge last season. Be is especially interesting because he plays in a way different from mast of the moderns. Ho does not make a fetish of back play, hor attempt to place everything to the on.

"Across goes the left deg, and the over- pitched ball is walloped through the cores Old-fashioned, but very good to

see and very profitable from the run-

baking point of view.

But there are many young amateurs of high promise. One who always takes

the eye is W W. Hill-Wood, partly

because he has the quaintest stance in England, and largely because he makes runs for one of the weakest counties so often when others are failing.......

On bare figures he has done nothing particularly big; and, according to thu purists his style is simply atrocious.

It ought to be stopped. But young Hill-Wood-he will not be 3. until September-mixes brains with his cricket, That is why be may go farther than those who judge a man by his method imagine. PROFESSIONAL KOPES, Among the professionals who made most progress last year were Hammond, of Gloucestershide, O'Connor, of Essex, and Tate of Sussex.

Hammond--who scored over 1,000 runs in his first full sensod, will not be l until Jane. But he has the physique of maturity-height, fine shoulders-ard un excellent method of the most modern kind-back play, frat and all the time, off-side strokes used only in an emer gency. He looks good." If he is will ing to learn. he should reach the heights. But he is not the marvel for his age that some people would have us believe. J. W. Henrie scored a century in Test match before he was 91, and Hearne in no miracles

O'Connor, who will be a

There are those who would urge" him to take fewer risks, But. If O'Connor waited for the fank tuul ball before hel ventured upon & scoring, stroke, half his virtue would be gunt. And a player with so good an eye, so quick wrist, and so cool a head should not have reached his zenith at 25.-
