William Rashleigh & Walter Humphreys. 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- William Rashleigh.
Ten year ago, Tonbridge School was considered fortunate in possessing a phenomenon of a boy Cricketer.  It was a high character, but one which the subsequent performances of the Rev. W. RASHLEIGH have fully confirmed.  His success at Oxford was immediate, for his first Inter-University match was memorable for a fine display of batting.  On that occasion he assisted to establish a record, putting on 243 with K. J. Key in the second innings.  For Kent he was consistently successful last year, when he was at the head of the batting averages, and he played some exceptionally fine innings. The best of all was at the end of the season, when he scored 95 out of 118 in an hour-and-a-half against Notts at Nottingham.  In him Oxford Rugby Football, too, found a useful back.

2- Walter Humphreys.
If a little boastful, the claim for "WALTER HUMPHREYS that he is, or was in his time, the best lob bowler in the world, has good ground.  A veteran now, twenty-three years have passed since he played his first match for Sussex.  Still it is only since 1880 that he became a regular member of the County Eleven.  During the last ten years his lobes have been one of quite the best features of Sussex cricket.  Against the Australian Teams he has been particularly successful.  On two occasions, indeed, first in 1880, and again in 1884, he did the hat trick against them.  Once for Brighton Brunswick he took all ten wickets of Ardingly College, at his best was a steady and reliable bat, as well as a sure field at point.

Condition is Very Good.
