 SPALDING'S

WAGON TONGUE BATS.

The bats are made of the finest straight-grained, second growth ash. The timber used in their manufacture has been seasoned for at least five years and is entirely free from knots and other imperfections. They are used by all the leading professional Ball players, and are made in proper models and lengths to suit all batsmen.

From Season to Season these bats have shown improvement in every essential and vital quality, material and finish. Our New Patent Rough Handle introduced two seasons ago, has been highly endorsed by all players. This handle enables the batsman to secure a firmer grip, prevents the bat slipping, and is in every way an advantage to all batsmen.
