Below I give a portrait of [[Arthur Conan Doyle|Dr. Conan Doyle]] and Mr. A. E. W. Mason, who is writing the serial story in the [[The Sphere|Sphere]], partially disguised as cricketers. The photograph was "snapped" specially for [[The Tatler|THE TATLER]] by Mr. Kitcat when the Authors' Eleven played Esher about a month ago. Esher is one of the strongest of the local clubs, but on that particular occasion they were defeated with ease and affluence by Literature. It is, however, only fair to say that the success of the Authors was largely due to an innings of over 100 played by Mr. Meyrick-Jones, who is certainly better known as a Kent cricketer than as a writer. In the picture given here [[Arthur Conan Doyle|Dr. Conan Doyle]] is sitting down wearing a big white hat, and the figure standing up on his left is Mr. Mason.
