Санфорд Спенс Шулц: Крикетші, гольфші және брокер өмірі

English cricketer

Sandford Spence Schultz (29 August 1857 – 18 December 1937), known in later life as Sandford Spence Storey, was an English cricketer, who played for Uppingham Rovers, Cambridge University, and Lancashire and played in the third ever Test match. He was also prominent in the golfing world.

Schultz was a member of Royal St George's Golf Club at Sandwich, Kent and Brighton & Hove Golf Club in Sussex. He distinguishing himself in competitions at both clubs and at other neighbouring clubs, and came second in the Sussex County Amateur Championship in 1903. He managed to combine his two favourite sports by playing cricket for Royal St George's Golf Club against the Royal Military Club at Dover on at least three occasions. Representing Royal St George's, Schultz was one of eight men who met in Edinburgh in 1902 as organisers of what went on to become the annual England–Scotland Amateur Match. (Two attended from each of Royal St George's, the Royal Liverpool Golf Club, The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews, and the Honorable Company of Edinburgh Golfers. Schultz's brother Arthur was a member of the Royal and Ancient at the time, but was not a representative at the meeting.)

Schultz married Mabel Durrant in 1885. They had three daughters, only the eldest of whom (known as Fairy) survived beyond early childhood. They lived in Kensington and then Chelsea, London; but they also spent a great deal of time in both Sandwich and Hove, where Schultz was a prominent golfer and where Mabel participated in the counties' social life. Schultz followed in the footsteps of his father and two of his brothers by taking up stockbroking, setting up in partnership as Messrs Hedderwick and Schultz and trading on the London Stock Exchange. In December 1914, after the start of World War I, he changed his Germanic sounding surname to Storey, which was his mother's maiden name. (His daughter Fairy thereby became Fairy Storey!) He died in Brompton, Kensington, aged 80.
