James Burns. & Thomas Hearne. 1895. (Cricketers)

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

1- James Burns.
Originally engaged with and tried by his native County of Lancashire, BURNS came to London with a fair reputation, both as a Cricketer and an Association Football Player.  At first, perhaps, better known in latter capacity, he has latterly made his mark effectually as a Cricketer.  His engagement with the Essex County C. C., at Leyton, gave him the chance he wanted of proving his capacity as an all-round Cricketer.  If at first a little over eager to hit, he has developed into a very useful batsman, having plenty of hitting power, although in respect of height, he has not the advantages of so many more fortunate Cricketers.  A capital field, he bowls slow round with success at times as a change.  He has been on the GRound Staff at Lord's for some years.

2- Thomas Hearne.
Of Cricketers still following the profession, TOM HEARNE can boast, not only perhaps the longest career but also one of the most infinite variety.  Though born in Bucks he was identified mostly with Middlesex cricket and was a useful all-round player when Messrs. JOHN and V. E. WALKER were in their prime, in the days when the County ground was under the shadow of the Cattle Market at Islington.  A good all-round Cricketer, he took part in his time in some of the best matches.  Long engaged as one of the bowlers at Lord's, in due course he succeeded to the position of Superintendent of the Ground Staff there.  In this position, which he has held for many years, he has deservedly won the respect, not only of the members of the M. C. C. but of the numerous Cricketers he has had under his control at various times.

Condition is Very Good.
