Albert Ward & Frank Howe Sugg. 1895. (Cricketers)

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

1- Albert Ward.
Tried first for his native County of York, an engagement at Leyland brough WARD into touch, and, as subsequent events proved, into close relationship with Lancashire.  The completion of the probationary period of two years required to qualify by residence, was only just up, when he was introduced into the Lancashire Eleven.  His consistent success as a batsman has more than justified the confidence of the Lancashire Executive.  His record for the last ten years has indeed been one of the very best features of that County Cricket.  Good as it was before, his reputation has been increased during the winter by his excellent performances with Mr. STODDART'S Team in Australia.  Standing over six feet in height, he has ggod command of the ball.  He plays in neat style too, and though really a defensive player can hit well on an emergency. A sure outfield.

2- Frank Howe Sugg.
A CRICKETER with a record now almost unique in having represented three Counties, SUGG, has played for Yorkshire, Derbyshire, and Lancashire in turn.  Still his trials for Yorkshire were very few, and though he had already obtained a certain reputation as a hitter for Derbyshire, the County of his birth, Lancashire cricket has, practically, made his name.  A hitter of the most reolute type, he is on his day one of the most dangerous batsmen of the present time.  When the bowling is not quite of the first class, he scores at a tremendous rate, against the very best he has done some remarkable performances in the way of fast scoring.  His infinate variety of strokes enables him to hit, and hit too with extraordinary power all round the wicket.  Useful in the outfield, covering a lot of ground.  In his day was a fair back at the Association Game of Football.

Condition is Very Good.
