Cricket 1900

D ec . 20, 1900. ORIOKM': A WEEKLY RECOUD OP THE GAME. 467 hand, players do not as often try to bully the umpire as in former days. Charlie Brown, of Notts, a brufque sort of man, was keeping wicket in a match in which the umpire at his end was a Frenchman. Brown appealed in a sharp way, ‘ How’s th a t?’ The Frenchman, startled by his manner, shrugged his shoulders and asked, ‘ Comment ? ’ Upon which, Brown said, ‘ Come on ! Yes I will come on if you don’t give him out.’ ” W. A. B e ttisw o rth . OBITUA11Y. ROBERT CRISPIN T1NLEY, Death removed in the person of this celebrated player one of the finest lob bowlers of his own or any age. When he commenced his career his bowling was very fast round aim. but after some seasons he took to slow underhand lobs, and met with remaikable success. His first appearance for Notts was at the age of sixteen, when he played against an England X I., at Nottingham, iu August, 1847, in a match set apart as a benefit for Tom Barker, and he continued to assist his county until 1869, his last match bsing played that year against Surrey at Nottingham. The success with which his lobs met in ma'ches against odds was surprising, and twice during his career he obtained over 300 wickets in one season, captuting 351 in 1862 and 303 in 1860. One of his most note­ worthy achievements was for the England X I. v. Eighteen of Hallam, on the Hyde Park Ground, Sheffield, in July, 1860, when he obtained ten wickets for 54 runs in the first innings, and in the second all seventeen for 58. There­ fore, in the match, out of 34 wickets lowered he obtained 27 at a cost of 112 runs. For Nottinghamshire v. Cam­ bridgeshire, at Nottingham, in July, 1862, in the first innings of the latter, he obtained eight wickets at a cost of only twelve runs, and in the match 15 for 78 runs. Among his many other good performances with the ball may be mentioned his 14 wickets for 59 runs for the Rest of England v. the English Team to America, 1859, at Manchester, in June, 1860; 19 for 115 runs, for England v. Twenty-two of Victoria, at Melbourne, in January, 1864; 10 for 33, for England v. Twenty-two of New South Wales, at Sydney, in Apiil, 1864 (all obtained in one innings); and 14 for 146, for the All England Eleven v. Fourteen of Oxford Uuiversty, at Oxford, in May, 1866. For the North v. Surrey, at the Oval, in July, 1860, Tinley and John Jackson bowled un­ changed through both innings of the latter, this being the only performance of the kind in which the former ever participated. Tinley was an excellent field at point, and whilst in that position he, for the England X I. v. Twenty-two of Birmingham, at Birmingham, in August and September, 1854, made twelve catches, seven in the first innings and five in the second. He was also very useful on occasions as a batsman, generally makingruns when most needed. Scores and Biographies says of his batting capabilities: “ His style of batting is ot a fast dashing, neck-or-nothing descrip­ tion, a kind of half-way style between science and slogs, not particularlv ornamental, but at times uncommonly useful, being a thorough good all-round cricketer and a very artful dodger.” His highest scores in great matches were 56. North v. Surrey, at the Oval, August 4 and 5, 1862; 53, North v. South, at Lord’s, July 12 and 13, 1858; 50, England v. M.C.C. and Ground (with Catlyn and Lockyer), at Lord’ s, July 28, 29, and 30,1856; and 50, Not! ingbam v. Sixteen of Sheffield, at Sheffield, June 22, 23, and 24, 1857. He made his first appearance for the Players against the Gentlemen, at Lord’s, in 1858, in which match Mr. Haygarth, although he feared but two runs in the first innings of the G?ntlemen, saw no less than seven wickets fall whilst in. He assisted the Pltyers for the last time, at Lord’s, in 1864, on which occasion Willsher and Tarrant bowled unchange 1 through both innings of the Gentlemen. His doings in Gentlemen v. Players matches are summed upas follows: Matches batted in, 3; innings commenced, 4 ; notout, 1; highest score, 16; total, 31; average, 10’33. Matches bowled in, 1; balls, 95; runs, 46; wickets, 5 ; average, 9 20. Tinley received two benefit matches, namely, The England X I. v. Twenty-two of Burton-on-Trent, at Burton-on-Trent, June 10, 11, and 12, 1861, and North v. South, at Nottingham, June 28, 29, aud 30, 1875. From this latter match he realised £406 9s. Id. In 1891, at Burton- on-Trent, he received a testimonial in the shape of thirty guineas, collected from thirty subscribers. R. C. Tinley was born at Southwell, in Nottinghamshire, on October 25, 1830, and died at his residence at Burton-on- Trent, December 11, 1900. He had, we believe, been for a considerable time an invalid.
