Arthur Pape

Who was Arthur Pape?

Arthur Albert Brinkley Pape, born at Fairford, Gloucestershire on 30 July 1890 and died at Hartlepool, County Durham on 11 August 1945, was a cricketer who played one first-class match for Somerset in 1912.

Pape batted at No 6 in both Somerset innings of the match against Northamptonshire at Bath, and did not score in either innings. Cricket websites do not indicate whether he was left or right-handed, and in his one first-class match, he did not bowl.

In 1921, he played non-first-class cricket for Durham in the Minor Counties, mostly as a middle-order batsman, but occasionally opening the innings. He scored 100 runs in eight innings, two of them not out, including his personal highest of 49 against Yorkshire Second Eleven.
