FAMOUS BATSMAN AND WICKET-KEEPER
MR. E. F. S, TYLECOTE PASSES
London, March 16.
Mr. Edward Ferdinando Sulton Tylecote, who played in the Test matches between England and Australia 56 years ago, died yesterday at Hunstanton at the age of 88. He was a great batsman and wicket-keeper.
Son of Canon Tylecote, of Bedfordshire, he was educated at Clifton and St. John's College, Oxford, and became an eminent mathematician.
From 1869 to 1872 he was a member of the Oxford University cricket eleven, and for the two latter years captain.
While a professor at the Royal
Military Academy he played for FARR TAKING Kent in 1875 and again in 1881- 83; in the interval he was a mem-
ber of the Bedfordhsire eleven.
On many occasions he assisted the Gentlemen against the Players, but his keenest recollections were of the Test matches of 1882. That year Murdoch's team had beaten England at the Oval, and the lament was heard that English cricket had been reduced to ashes.
