Lots 257-260 The following four lots belonged to Lord Hawke (1860-1938), former England and Yorkshire cricket captain. Martin Bladen Hawke, 7th Baron Hawke, was an English amateur cricketer who played between 1881 and 1911 and captained both, England and Yorkshire. He appeared in 633 first class matches including five test matches, four as captain. He scored 16,749 runs with a highest score of 166. In 1881, Hawke went up to Magdalene College, Cambridge, where he won three cricketing, blues between 1882 and 1895. He remains Yorkshire's most successful captain, winning the County Championship eight times. His five test appearances were all in South Africa and he won his four test matches as England captain. After he retired, from playing, he became an influential figure in cricket administration, was elected Yorkshire Club President in 1898 and President of the MCC in 1914. He is often remembered - and disparaged for - his most famous quote 'Pray God, no professional, shall ever captain England'. Lord Hawke's flask, a large silver mounted glass spirit flask, George Unite, London 1895, the slip and cover bearing a coronet and 'H' for Lord Hawke, 18.5cm high
