John Henry Board & George Brann, 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- John Henry Board.
Since J. A. BUSH gave up playing, Gloucestershire had no regular wicket keeper till BOARD appeared to "supply a long-felt want," to use a favourite phrase.  And if his record has not been particularly long, it has, none the less, been one of considerablte credit.  A native of the County of the GRACES, he has been quite one of the most reliable stumpers of the last five years, although he had little or no special training for the position, Plucky to a degree, he has taken all the Gloucestershire bowling smartly as well as surely.  On some occasions, too, has shown himself no mean batsman.  Has been on the Ground Staff at Lord's for the last few years.

2- George Brann.
A good all-round Cricketer, GEORGE BRANN has been one of the mainstays of the Sussex Eleven now for some years.  Even at Ardingly College, as a boy, he made a name, which time has fully confirmed in a more ambitious class of cricket.  A brilliant hitter all round the wicket, he has done some exceptional performances for Sussex.  The best of these will be readily recalled.  It was only three years ago and against Kent, at Brighton.  He scored on that occasion 105 and 101, entitling him to rank with W. G. GRACE and A. E. STODDART, as one of the three batsmen who have made two scores of a hundred in a first-class match.  A fine field, and a fair change bowler in addition, he has been considerably above the average as an all-round player.  Was for some years one of the best English Forwards in Association Football.

Condition is Very Good.
