(1894–1978) Batsman who played *cricket for Yorkshire (1919–39) and for England (1924–35). His aggregate of 1839 runs in 1919 is still (in 1992) the record for any player's first season, and he became part of two famous opening pairs – with *Hobbs for England and with Percy Holmes for Yorkshire (their stand of 555 against Essex in 1932 remains an English record). He effectively retired in 1939 but played one more match for Yorkshire in 1945.
