"PATSY" Who Held The Fort For England. 1934.

For Sale is the Front Page removed from "The Tatler, June 20th, 1934," showing a Portrait Photograph for the Cricketer "PATSY"  Who Held The Fort For England."

Patsy Hendren's great knock in England's first innings v. Australia at Trent Bridge is, with Geary's, one of the few high spots in the hour of defeat.  Sutcliffe, Walters, Pataudi, Leyland had all gone, and the heavy pall of disaster hung over the side when "Patsy" faced the attack and so nobly stopped what looked like dry rot.  Geary, the bowler, backed his gallant effort, but even so the worst could not be averted.  Over the second innings it is kindest to draw a veil- the whole side seemed hypnotized by the Grimmett-O'Reilly jinx.

Condition is Very Good.
