Henry "Harry" Rigden Butt. & Arthur Sellers. 1895. (Cricketers)

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

1- Henry "Harry" Rigden Butt.
In BUTT, Sussex was fortunate enough to find a wicket keeper thououghly capable of filling the responsible position occupied for so many years, with credit, by HENRY PHILLIPS.  Though born in London, still to Hastings belongs the credit to what little training he had as a Cricketer.   The discovery of his capacity as a wicket keeper was in a way something of an accident.  Still he has shown by his consistent success for Sussex, that he has few superiors, in the South at any rate, even if he has had little bowling of any great pace to take. To be a capable wicket keeper presupposes pluck.  BUTT has plenty of it, and as he is quick withal as well as safe, he is generally reliable.   That he can hit, too, has been found on several occasions, as recently as last May against M.C.C. at Lord's.

2- Arthur Sellers.
YORKSHIRE'S allainment to the County Championship in 1893 was due to the high level of the all-round cricket of the Eleven.  Of a strong batting side, one of the best players was A. SELLERS.  Going in first as a rule, he had the cream of the bowling to meet, which made his leading position in the batting averages of the greater merit.  Last year he was able to play little, and then he was rather out of luck.  Still he is none the less a fine batsman with a free style, and as he has plenty of hits, he is sure to make runs fast.  But beside his capacity as a run getter, he is an excellent outfield, covering a lot of ground.

Condition is Very Good.
