Gosling opened, as was his custom, at a tremendous pace, and seemed to trouble the first few batsmen considerably.
'Welch lives on Bovril for, a month, and then, just as he thinks he's going to score, a burglar with a sense of humour strolls into the Pav., carefully selects the only two cups he had a chance of winning, and so to bed. 'Leaving Master J. G. Welch an awful example of what comes of training, said Jim. 'Welch, you're a rotter. 'It isn't my fault, observed Welch, plaintively.
"I'm late for the 'Pav. the noo! Wait till anither nicht " "All right, 'Arry," he said, not a bit abashed. "I vas just so glad to know you vas doing so vell in business.

In a few years he'll be playing for England, and you'll think it a favour if he nods to you in the pav. at Lord's. When you're a white-haired old man you'll go doddering about, gassing to your grandchildren, poor kids, how you 'discovered' M. Jackson. It'll be the only thing they'll respect you for."
