    About this ebook

    Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of detective Sherlock Holmes, is the father of crime fiction. This intriguing short story, first published in the Strand Magazine in 1928, was based on a bizarre cricketing experience Doyle underwent as a young man. Many of the finest English sport stories, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
