Archdale Palmer Wickham & Leslie Wilson. 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- Archdale Palmer Wickham.
First at Marlborough, next at Oxford, and subsequently in County Cricket, the Rev. A. P. WICKHAM has always had the same character as a wicket keeper, one considerably above the average.  The only pity is that his clerical duties have prevented him taking part more frequently in first-class matches.  Though born in Surrey, his County cricket has been divided between Norfolk and Somersetshire.  For the last three or four years his record for Somersetshire has been one of distinguished success.  Quite one of the best wicket keepers of the day, he stands up to every kind of bowling with the same pluck, and is not only a sure catch but particularly quick in stumping, even on the leg side.  Played for the Gentlemen against the Players, at the Oval, last year.

2- Leslie Wilson.
Rich in amateurs cricketers as Kent has always been, it has had no more consistent batsman of late years than LESLIE WILSON, elder brother of another fine player, the Rev. CECIL WILSON, now Bishop of Melanesia.  One of his performances in Club cricket (when with W. G. WYLD he made 420 for the first wicket of Beckenham against Bexley, in August, 1885) was for seven years a record.  In first-class cricket his success has been very pronounced; indeed, he has been one of the most reliable scorers in the strong batting side which Kent has possessed for several years.  A batsman of many parts, he makes runs on any wicket, and frequently when the bowlers are most in evidence.  A smart field, particularly at point.

Condition is Very Good.
