Conan Doyle at Cricket
Arthur Conan Doyle, novelist and physician, is forty-two years of age and the son of an artist. His first book appeared in 1887, and a book a year has been his output ever since, notwithstanding his late service in the Boer war as medical register of a field hospital. The accompanying illustration shows him indulging in his favorite game of cricket, at which as well as at golf and cycling he is an expert. It is doubtful whether the author or the physician is predominant in his composition, but doubtless it was his medical training that suggested to him the resurrecting of his favorite hero, Sherlock Holmes, in his latest recrudescence.
