BRADMAN: THE WONDER BATSMAN.

SOME VIVID IMPRESSIONS.

GIVE THE POOR BOWLER A CHANCE, DON,

The power of genius in cricket is not to be measured by the score board, says a writer in the Jan- chester Guardian, and not even by the clock. A Trumper, a Spooner, will reveal art and energy in one or two personal strokes or by some all-pervading yet indefinable poise and flavour. At Leeds Bradman announced his right to mastership in a few swift moments. He made Te runs during his first hour at the wicket, giving to us every hit

The really astonishing fact about back his head at the good ball,

Bradman is that a boy should play confuse it with the others; and lose his wicket through a royal expense of an old hand and brain. Who has as he does-with the sophistication of spirit Not he; he sees the ever before heard of a young man, dangerous ball with eses na sus-gifted with quick feet and eyes, picious as those of a Makepeace Down over his bat goes his head; the blade becomes a broad protec- tive shield-and probably two pads will, lend a strong second line of defence. It is not a paradox to

with mercurial spirita "and all the rapid and powerful strokes of cricket-who has ever heard of a young man so gifted and yet one who never indulged an extravagant hit high into the air? Until a year or two ago Bradman had seen little or no first-class cricket. Yet here is he to-day, bringing to youth's natural relish for lusty play with a cricket bat a technical polish and discretion worthy of a Tom Hay- ward. A mishit by Bradman--when he is dashing along at 50 runs an hour-surprises us even as a mishit by Hayward did when he was in his Incredible Techmiqua.

But Bradman shows us ex- ways with a security which denied cellences which in the past we have its own brilliance. Every fine point had to seek in different players; of batsmanship was to be admired; nobody else has achieved Brad strokes powerful and swift and a man a synthesis. It is, of course, curate and handsome; variety of synthesis which owes much to the araft controlled by singleness of fact that Bradman stays at the mind and purpose. Bradman was wicket longer than most of the as determined to take no risks as brilliant stroke players of old ever he was to hit boundaries from dreamed of staying. Perhaps he is every ball the least loose.

Hard Luck for Bowlers. The bowler, who had to tackle Victor Trumper was able to keep his spirit more or less hopeful by some philosophy, such as this

Victor is moving at top speed. Well, I'm bound sooner or later to send along a really good ball, Victor will flash at it in his ecstasy and I'll have him!" The bowler toiling at Bradman cannot support himself by a like optimism. For hours he will see his ordinary balls hit for fours along the grass; then his good one will wheel from his arm by the law of average which causes every bowler to achieve one. moment of excellence in every hour.
