CRICKET

From a startling number of unsolicited testimonals received during the 1934 Cricket Season, we select the following:

C. F. WALTERS writes: "During the last two years of first class cricketing abroad and in this country, I have used only Cradidge Bats, which have in every way proved absolutely satisfactory." R. E. S. WYATT says:-"I should like to take one or two of your Bate to the West Indies. The one I used part of last season was a beauty."

S. J. MCCABE, on the eve of his departure for Australia, wrote: "Throughout this tour I have used nothing but Gradidge Bats, making over 2,000 runs, which included eight centuries. I can assure you
