Colin Lucas Townsend & Frank William Milligan. 1895. (Cricketers)

For Sale is a Full Page removed from "Famous Cricketers and Cricket Grounds," 1895, showing Two Photographs one on each side, for the Following Cricketers.

1- Colin Lucas Townsend.
Though only just down from Clifton College, C. L. Townsend, a son of a well-known Gloucestershire player, Frank of that name, has none the less a hight reputation among the younger school of Cricketers of to-day.  Clifton College cricket in 1893 and 1894 was, in a great measure, a record of his successes as an all-round player.  In the first of these years, too, he had made a brilliant debut in Gloucestershire cricket.  Then only seventeen, he bowled with such success as to lead to the greatest hopes for the future.  These, too, have been fully realised, so far as his bowling is concerned, as his brilliant performances in Gloucestershire's later matches this summer will attest.  A slow round-arm bowler, he is able to make the ball break either way, and on any wicket he wants careful watching.  His score of 95 for Gloucestershire v. Somersetshire, in May, warrants the belief that he will develop into a good batsman as well.

2- Frank William Milligan.
Yorkshire has so many advantages in the number of its cricket centres, that it is always able to have a constant supply of promising Cricketers as the older players retire.  At the present time there are several who only come into the Eleven at intervals quite worthy of a place, among them may be mentioned Mr. F. W. Milligan, who has done good service to the County on several occasions during the present summer, both as a bowler and batsman.  Though he went to Eton he went abroad after a short stay there, so that his cricket has been learned since.  He is a useful player and would not be out of place in any side, as he is a very straight fast bowler, a likely batsman with a great variety of strokes, as well as an excellent field.

Condition is Very Good.
