Gerald Roscoe Bardswell & John Edward Shilton. 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- Gerald Roscoe Bardswell.
As he is still at Oxford University, it goes without saying that G. R. BARDSWELL'S cricket career has not been of great length.  The promise of his all-round play at Uppingham School has been more than maintained.  Last year he did good service for Oxford, not only in the field, but also on occasions at the wicket.  Still, it was his bowling which was of the greater use to the University.  He had, in fact, the best average, and his bowling in the second innings of Cambridge, at Lord's, did much to give Oxford so decisive a victory.  Curiously, during the tour of Lord HAWKE'S Team to America last Autumn, he was quite out of form.  Very tall, his slow round-arm bowling, on which there is at times a lot of spin, is often very effective.  A capital field, he can hit on occasions.

2- John Edward Shilton.
Though first known to the public in connection with Northumbrian cricket, SHILTON is a native of Warwickshire.  The establishment of the Warwickshire County Club on a solid basis, gave him an opportunity of proving his capabilities in a better class of match.  For the last few years he has been one of the most useful and reliable members of the Warwickshire Eleven.  A left-handed slow bowler, his high delivery makes him more effective, and on a wicket where the ball does much, he is generally successful.  A right-handed batsman, he hits all round with resolution, and if not dismissed in the first few overs, makes runs quickly.  A good field anywhere, his out cricket is considerably above the average.

Condition is Very Good.
