George Robert Baker & David Hunter. 1895.

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

1- George Robert Baker.
A YORKSHIREMAN by birth, like WARD, still the best part of BAKER'S cricket has been in connection with and in the service of Lancashire.  Nor has that County, rich in players as it has been of late years, had a much better all-round Crixketer in its ranks.  Last summer saw him at the head of Lancashire's batsmen, with a very creditable average of nearly thirty runs for twenty-one completed innings.  A busy bat at all times, having plenty of hit wothout sacrifice of defence.  Is also a very useful change bowler on occasions, as well as a safe and smart field always.  A thorough worker at all times, and a genuine tryer whatever the state of the game.

2- David Hunter.
The second on two brothers who have done excellent service for Yorkshire, in the same responsible position, DAVID HUNTER ranks in quite the first flight of contemporary wicket keepers.   Nor rich as Yorkshire has been in stumpers, has the County produced one safer or more reliable than the younger HUNTER.   Without ostentation or tricks, he is equally good with any variety of bowling.  Six feet or thereabout in height, his reach of course stands him in good stead, and even on the leg side he rarely allows a chance to escape.  If not successful as a batsman, like most wicket keepers has a good eye, and has frequently been made of great use at the end of an innings when others had failed and runs were badly wanted.

Condition is Very Good.
