[edit] Topics

Could Pardon have made the comparison with Grace that you quote somewhere else? The Grace obituary is available here:

[1]

but it doesn't seem to contain the bit that you quote.

I don't have those Wisdens with me now, so I am writing from memory. Wisden 1916 contained two articles on Grace - a proper obituary by Pardon and this tribute which is written by Lord Harris or Hawke, plus a huge statistics section. Pardon's obit is not reproduced at the Wisden site. (As a matter of fact, I am not sure whether Wisden mentions Pardon's name but Eric Midwinter attributes it to him in the last chapter of his W G Grace : His life and Times). Pardon's article - with the lines quoted in the Fuller Pilch - appears in Benny Green's Wisden Book of Cricketers' Lives, which is a collection of Wisden obituaries (and which I have with me at the moment).

I'll leave a note in Johnlp's talk page. He has a huge collection of Wisdens and should be able to confirm it. Tintin (talk) 14:56, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. I'm happy. JH 15:50, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

I don't have Wisden 1916 (I go back to 1925 and acquire them at a rate of about two a year, so I may get there in 2011!) But I do have Benny Green's Wisden Anthology 1900-1940 and that reproduces both Lord Harris's tribute and SHP's obit. The words Tintin quoted are indeed in the SHP obit.
