Francis Marchant. & Pelham Francis Warner. 1895. (Cricketers)

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

1- Francis Marchant.
A triple Captain, of Eton, Cambridge, and Kent in succession, FRANK MARCHANT has played an important part in cricket during the last twelve years.  In each grade, too, he has acquitted himself with equal credit.  A free batsman even in his Eton days, he still enjoys the same reputation of a resolute and fearless hitter against every kind of bowling, scoring all round the wicket with confidence and ease.  He has too, always been a good field, particularly in the Country.  A thoroughly good judge of the game, and with plenty of tact, he has always proved himself to ba a capable as well as a popular Captain.  In Association Football he was not so very long ago known as a Forward considerably above the average.

2- Pelham Francis Warner.
Though he went up to Oxford in 1893, with all the advantages of an excellent record at Rugby, P. F. WARNER was not successful in getting his blue in either that or the following season.  That he had shown his real form in the trial matches in either year, those who best knew his cricket refused to believe.  His consistent scoring for Oxford so far this summer is a proof that they were correct in their judgment.  In any case he has proved himself to be one of the most reliable rungetters in a rungetting side, and with anything like luck ought to be a useful addition to the batting strength of Middlesex.  He plays in good style, and with plenty of hit all round the wicket scores freely off most bowlers.  He represented Middlesex twice last year on the strength of his exceptionally high scoring for the Second Eleven against the Second Eleven of Kent.

Condition is Very Good.
