Description Cricket Match between Actors and Authors at Lord's Cricket G
Details

A number of the players in a one-day match between actors and authors held at Lord's cricket ground, June 1905. The actors won the match by 8 wickets and 7 runs. Clockwise, from top left: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle loses his wicket for 2 runs; C Aubrey Smith bowling; E.W. Hornung looking skyward; R. Evett fielding; Kenneth Douglas fielding at point; Gerald Du Maurier and V. O'Connor making the winning run; Oscar Asche bowling; Haydn Coffin trying to field and keep his hair tidy. In the centre are Major Philip Trevor and Leo Trevor, looking a lot like Tweedledum and Tweedledee.
