Herbert Sutcliffe 50000th First-Class run bat, inscribed to the back, right, in ink USED IN SCORING 50000th RUN V SUSSEX AT SCARBOROUGH ON SUNDAY JULY 19TH 1939, HERBERT SUTCLIFFE, and to back, left, THIS BAT WAS BORROWED FROM HUGH BARTLETT OF THE SUSSEX XI ON ACCOUNT OF MY TWO BATS HAVING BEEN LEFT BEHIND AT CHESTERFIELD THE PREVIOUS MATCH, H.SUTCLUFFE, in used condition with contemporary tape repairs.

Lot 783
A cricket ball used during Herbert Sutcliffe’s innings of 161 v Australia at The Oval in 1926, mounted for presentation with a silver shield engraved H.SUTCLIFFE, ENGLAND V AUSTRALIA, KENNINGTON OVAL, 14-18 AUGUST 1926, 161; together with a typescript article written by Sutcliffe for The Cricketer, 1966, being his reminiscences of ‘The Oval Thriller of 1926’...the wicket was a real bitch right from the start and it continued to be so for hours. To play on such a brute of a wicket calls for courage, patience, skill, strategy and self control...; and related letters from The Cricketer, including one from E.W. Swanton (4). The Oval Test of 1926 was the Ashes decider, with the first four Tests all ending in draws. England trailed Australia by 22 runs after the first innings, but in the second, perhaps the greatest of all the Hobbs-Sutcliffe opening partnerships produced an historic stand of 172, with Sutcliffe going on to make 161, on a highly difficult, rain-affected pitch. The foundations were thereby laid for an England victory. Rhodes and Larwood tore through the Australian upper order to eventually dismiss the tourists for 125, with England regaining the Ashes for the first time since 1911-12. Provenance: The Herbert Sutcliffe Collection, Sotheby’s, 9th July 1999, as lot 41.

A fine and unbroken run of The John Wisden’s Cricketers’ Almanack from the first year of issue to 1864 to the current 145th edition of 2008, from 1864 to 1935 uniformly bound in reddish-brown cloth with gilt titling to spine, the original paper wrappers preserved in the following volumes 1870 to 1878 inclusive, 1930, 1931, 1933 & 1934, also 1923 back wrapper only and 1922 back wrapper partially preserved, the run continuing with unbound almanacks for 1936 & 1937 paper wrappers, 1938 to 1945 limp linen, 1946 to 1950 hardback, 1951 to 1974 limp linen, 1975 hardback with d/j, 1976 to 1978 limp linen, 1979 hardback with d/j, 1980 to 1981 limp linen, 1982 hardback with d/j, 1983 & 1984 limp linen, 1985 hardback with d/j, 1986 to 1988 limp linen, 1989 hardback with d/j, 1990 limp linen, 1991 to 1993 hardback with d/j, 1994 limp linen, 1995 to 2008 hardback with d/j. Wisden Cricketers’ Almanack, often referred to simply as Wisden or colloquially as ‘the bible of Cricket’ is by far the best known reference book concerned with the sport of cricket and is one of the most famous and long running sports reference books published in the UK. It was founded in 1864 by the English cricketer John Wisden (1826-1884) as a competitor to Lillywhite’s Guide to Cricketers (see lot 811). Its annual publication has continued uninterrupted to the present day, including through the First and Second World War periods. The sixth edition was the first published under its current title; the first five were published as The Cricketer’s Almanack, with the apostrophe before the ‘s’. It has had only 15 editors in over 140 years, including Sydney Pardon for 35 editions (1891 to 1925) and Norman Preston for 29 editions (1952 to 1980). Matthew Engel is the current editor although Scyld Berry edited 2008 while Engel takes a sabbatical. Wisden has always been a small-paged but increasingly a very thick book (over 1500 pages in modern editions). The distinctive bright yellow cover has been carried since the 75th edition in 1938. In previous years, covers varied between yellow, buff and salmon pink. The 75th edition was the first to display the famous woodcut of two Victorian cricketers by Eric Ravilious on its cover. In 2003 the woodcut gave way to photographic portraits of a contemporary cricketer. In 2006 and 2007, a larger format edition has been published on an experimental basis. Wisden was acquired and published by Robert Maxwell’s publishing conglomerate, Macdonald, in the 1970s. Sir Paul Getty bought the company, John Wisden & Co, in 1993. They are now highly desirable collectors’ items. In May 2007 Graham Budd Auctions set a world record auction price by selling a collection from first year of issue for £120000. This lot represents another rare opportunity to instantly acquire a collection in its entirety.

Frederick Gordon Crosby (1885-1943). RAYMOND MAYS IN HIS BUGATTI SETS A NEW HILL RECORD AT SHELSLEY WALSH 1923, signed and dated 1923, charcoal and wash heightened with gouache, sold with a letter of provenance, framed & glazed, 20 by 33cm., 8 by 13in. (2). This original artwork was reproduced in an issue of The Autocar magazine that year and later presented to Mays by the artist. With this victory in his modified 1.5-litre Bugatti ‘Courdon Rouge’, Raymond Mays first achieved international recognition. He was subsequently invited to visit Ettore Bugatti at his Molsheim factory in Alsace, who could not believe that one of his engines would rev so highly. Thereafter, Mays went on to become one of Great Britain’s leading racing drivers-a career that lasted until after WWII-before going on to found both the E.R.A. and B.R.M. racing car projects. ‘Freddie’ Gordon Crosby was a close friend who worked as the staff artist for The Autocar magazine. His work is now recognised as perfectly capturing the atmosphere and spirit of motor racing during its formative years.

On going to Wadham College, Oxford, he concentrated on football with extraordinary success. He won blues in 1908 and 1909 and at the 1908 Olympic Games was described as ‘the only English forward to play at all consistently well’. Berry was one of just two Great Britain players who achieved the Olympic football gold medal double of 1908 (London) and 1912 (Stockholm), the other being Vivian Woodward.

A maroon Great Britain international cap 1932, This was awarded for the tour to Australia and New Zealand when he became the first Welshman to be appointed as captain for a tour. In the third Ashes-deciding test Sullivan played a crucial role when, after missing several goals he converted a try, then dropped a goal and lastly, from near the touch-line converted another try to help Britain to an 18-13 win. At the final whistle he was carried shoulder-high from the pitch by his team-mates.

A white England No.1 international shirt 1933, with breast badge embroidered with shield of English roses and PARIS 1933. Sullivan was one of four of the Welsh team who played against Australia at Wembley on 30 December 1933 (Sullivan as Captain) and then journeyed to Paris to play for England against the Australians at the Stade Pershing the following day. This, the first Rugby League game to be played in France, was an exhibition match to boost the game in a country which had been thrown out of international rugby union in 1931 for ‘dabbling in professionalism.’ Australia won 63-13.
Lot 1067
A blue France No.1 international jersey circa 1934, with red and white neck ‘v’s and breast badge of embroidered cockerel standing on rugby ball; sold with an associated magazine cutting (2). This style of jersey is identical in all but one respect to those worn by France in their first ever Rugby League match on French soil (v England at the Stade Buffalo, 15 April 1934). The difference is that the cuffs on this jersey are white, whereas photographs of the 15 April 1934 match appear to show jerseys with blue cuffs. The jerseys for the French tour of England in March 1934 were rather different, therefore stylistically it would appear that this jersey was worn in one of France’s first ever, subsequent, Rugby League Tests, probably by Cassagneau, of Quillan.
Lot 1071

A 15ct. gold unofficial 1910 F.A. Cup winner’s medal, the obverse inscribed 1910, the reverse inscribed ENGLISH CUP, WON BY, N.U.F.C., A.S.M. DUNCAN. Although the above medal is not an ‘official’ F.A.Cup winner’s medal, as Duncan did not play in the final tie, it must be assumed that the medal was presented to him by the Newcastle United to commemorate the club’s first-ever F.A.Cup trophy when the Magpies defeated Barnsley 2-0 in the replay played at Goodison Park on 28th April 1910 before 69000 spectators, Shepherd scoring both of United’s goals

Tom Whittaker’s purple & red Football Association 1925 Tour of Australia cap, embroidered F.A., ENGLAND, AUSTRALIA, 1925. This was the first-ever F.A. Tour of Australia and took place between 7th May and 3rd August. England won all 25 matches scoring 138 goals and conceding just 13. However, the tour proved disastrous for Arsenal’s Tom Whittaker who sustained a career-ending injury when he broke a knee cap. Through his injury Whittaker developed an interest in physiotherapy and fitness training which he implemented as first team trainer at Highbury under Herbert Chapman and played a vital role in the successes achieved at Highbury. Whittaker was also a trainer to the England team and became Arsenal manager in 1947. The club won two Championships and a F.A. Cup under his leadership before his untiemely death from a heart attacked in 1956 aged 58.
