William Tomlin & Charles Jesse Kortright. 1895.

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

1- William Tomlin.
Leicestershire's elevation to a place among the first-class Counties, has been in a great measure the work of two or three men.  The bright particular stars last summer were the Captain (C. E. De TRAFFORD) and TOMLIN as batsmen, POUGHER and WOODCOCK as bowlers.  Though his place in the batting averages was due in a great measure to a fine innings of 146 v. M. C. C. and Ground, TOMLIN all the same was seen to advantage on many other occasions, notably in the memorable defeat of Surrey at Leicester.  This year, too, his brilliant scored innings at the Oval contributed mainly to another victory over Surrey.  A good field anywhere, TOMLIN has made a marked advance of late as a bat.  He takes a lot of getting out at any time, and scores fast if allowed to get a thorough sight of the ball.

2- Charles Jesse Kortright.
A POLL for the distinction of the fastest bowler would, and with reason, place C. J. KORTRIGHT very high if not quite at the top of the list.  As he is only just twenty-four, his record in first-class cricket has not been of any great length.  Still the promise of his cricket career at Tonbridge has been more than confirmed.  His successes as a bowler for Essex, too, have been seldom equalled in first-class cricket.  His best year in important matches was in 1893, when he bowled with extraordinary success at Lord's, both for M. C. C. and Ground against the Australians, as well as for the Gentlemen against the Players.  He takes a very long run, and as he bowls at a very great pace he is very dangerous if on the spot.  With a free style, he is a very improving bat.

Condition is Very Good.
