In Sir Arthur Priestley death has taken its toll of yet another famous cricketer.
"Skipper," as he was known to his friends, was a Liberal politi- cian who represented Grantham from 1919 to 1918, fighting four close elections in the process. It is, how ever. as a cricketer and a sportsman that he will be best remembered. His cricket weeks at Grantham, in which men like "Ranji," Mar- Laron, Jack Mason and Sain Day took part, were famous.
