William Henry Scotton. & Frederick Charles Holland. 1895. (Cricketers).

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

1- William Henry Scotton.
A STONEWALLER of the most pronounced type, SCOTTON'S batting was for some years of the greatest value, not only to his County, (Notts), but to the Marylebone Club, on whose Ground Staff he was engaged for a long time.  Originally a free hitter, he became a strictly defensive batsman, at times to the very extreme of weariness.  Still his methods were none the less of use to his side, the more so to some extent, because he was left-handed. A fair change bowler as well as an excellent field, at his best he was one of the most useful all-round Cricketers in the Notts County Eleven.  He played for England against Australia in 1884.

2- Frederick Charles Holland.
Though only sixtten when he joined the Ground Staff at the Oval, HOLLAND even then showed sufficient promise to warrant his attainment of a regular place in Surrey's Second Eleven.  His first trial in a really important match was against Essex at Leyton, at the end of 1894.  The exceptionally good cricket he played then for his 76, made it fairly certain that he would make his mark in first-class cricket this summer.  His batting in the earlier matches has been so consistently fine as to place him at one bound in quite the front rank of Surrey players.  Standing over six feet he bats in commanding style, and with plenty of nerve plays his game consistently, scoring well all-round the wicket.  If only a moderate change bowler, he is of great use in the field.  He is reliable in any position, especially at slip, and is a very safe catch.

Condition is Very Good.
