Charles Edmund de Trafford & John Thomas Rawlin. 1895. (Cricketers).

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

1- Charles Edmund de Trafford.
A BATSMAN, who does not stand on the order of hitting, big hits, and hits with wonderful power at times is C. E. De TRAFFORD. His performance in the second innings of the North against the South, during the Hastings week of 1893, ranks indeed as one of the very best displays of fast scoring recorded in a first-class match.  With ERNEST SMITH, the Yorkshire amateur, he put on 254 runs in an hour and three quarters.  Of this number, De TRAFFORD contributed no less than 110, so that he scored himself at a rate of one a minute.  As a batsman, loses no time in getting to work, but starts hitting directly he gets in.  Has Captained the Leicestershire Eleven for the last two or three years and with success, being very popular with his men.

2- John Thomas Rawlin.
Tried originally for his native County, RAWLIN'S record in Yorkshire cricket was hardly, it must be admitted, good enough to justify his regular inclusion in the Yorkshire Eleven.  An engagement at Lord's gave him a better chance in the shape of a trial with Middlesex under the residential qualification.  Middlesex had for some time been in want of a fast bowler, so that RAWLIN came at an opportune moment.  For the last few years, too, with J. T. HEARNE, he has borne the brunt of the bowling for Middlesex, and with the best result.  His all-round cricket has been of the greatest value.  Bowling a good pace and with a rather high delivery, on certain wickets he is particularly difficult to play.  In him, Middlesex has also found a very useful batsman.  He is, indeed, generally to be relied on for runs, and scores pretty fast when well in.

Condition is Very Good.
