Cyril Pelham Foley. & James Cranston. 1895. (Cricketers).

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

1- Cyril Pelham Foley.
CYRIL FOLEY'S excellent record as a Cricketer at Eton and Cambridge, as well as latterly for Middlesex, only emphasizes the regret that he does not figure more regularly in first-class cricket now.  In spite of his comparative ill success for Middlesex last summer, he is none the less a stylish, as well as, at his best, a very effective batsman.  Perhaps his most noteworthy performance was in the run-getting match between Cambridge University and Sussex, at Brighton, in 1890, when he scored one of three hundreds made in the first innings of Cambridge.  A taking batsman, getting well over the ball, and with no lack of strokes, is difficult to get out when set.

2- James Cranston.
Though he has not lately been seen in first-class matches, for some years "JIMMY CRANSTON" was a power in Gloucestershire cricket.  In him the GRACES had for some years one of their best supporters.  A left-handed batsman, he played the game thoroughly, in fact, at his best, there have been few better left-handed batsmen at any period of cricket history.  Having moved from Gloucestershire, his qualification for the County ceased, and he played a few matches for Warwickshire, where he was born.  Still it is as a Gloucestershire Cricketer that he will be remembered.  A safe bat, with, like most left-handed players, great powers of hitting, he had as well any amount of pluck.  A fair field, he was seen perhaps to best advantage in the Country.

Condition is Very Good.
