George Gibbons Hearne & James Phillips. 1895. Cricketers.

For Sale is a Full Page removed from "Famous Cricketers and Cricket Grounds, 1895," showing a Portrait Photograph on each side for the Following Two Cricketers.

1- George Gibbons Hearne.
The eldest of the three Brothers who have done such good service to Kent, G. G. HEARNE'S record as a Cricketer has been alike useful and honourable.  A cousin of WALTER HEARNE and brother of FRANK and ALEC, who have both been actively associated with Kent, G. G. differed from the latter in that he was left-handed both as a bowler and a batsman.  For over fifteen years he was one of the most useful Cricketers in the Kent Eleven.  A batsman with great defence, if at times uninteresting to watch, he was none the less of the greatest value to the side by his watchful cricket.  a fast bowler if not quite in the first class, he was at times very effective, especially when the ground helped the ball.  A member of the ground staff at Lord's for several years, he has been scoring well for the club this summer.

2- James Phillips.
A Cricketer who is able to play the game throughout the year, would appear to some to have a particularly good time of it.  This is the fortune of J. PHILLIPS, who alternates between England and Australia.  Engaged by the Melbourne Club in the Winter he is on the Ground Staff at Lord's in the Summer, and has been for some years.  His engagement at Lord's gave him an opportunity for a residential qualification for Middlesex, which has enabled him to do good service to that County's cricket.  A slow round-arm bowler, his height is of great use to him, and as he gets a good deal of work on the ball is frequently very effective.  If not a stylish bat, takes a lot of getting out at times, as he showed for Middlesex at the Oval last year.  He acted as umpire for Mr. STODDART's Team in Australia, and is much in request there in that capacity.

Condition is Very Good.
