Mr. P. F. WARNER : Reminiscences of W. G. Grace '
NEW cricket records are made every year; new personalities arise and flourish, but none has ever dominated the game as W. G. Grace did a generation ago. ' The Champion' they called him, and his title was never in dispute. The man who made centuries on every county ground, whose scores reached monstrous figures season after season, whose tally of centuries has only just been equalled even on the billiard-table pitches of today; whose marvellous batting alone prevented his living in cricket history for his captaincy and his bowling-the bearded Colossus was beyond doubt the most remarkable figure the game has ever known. Mr. Warner's star was rising above the horizon when W. G.'s was at its zenith, and lie can tell many stories of the great man at first hand.
