Arthur Joseph Conway (1 April 1885 – 29 October 1954) was an English cricketer: a right-handed batsman and right-arm fast bowler (although his ''Wisden'' obituary says merely "rather more than medium pace" 〔Obituary. ''Wisden Cricketers' Almanack'' 1955.〕) who played 29 times for Worcestershire (and twice for HK Foster's XI) between 1910 and 1919. Conway took 54 wickets in his first-class career, of which no fewer than 15 came in a single match in June 1914: playing for Worcestershire against Gloucestershire at Moreton-in-Marsh, he took 9/38 in the first innings and 6/49 in the second for match figures of 15/87;〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Gloucestershire v Worcestershire in 1914 )〕 as of March 2009 this remains the best match analysis for the county.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Worcestershire First-Class Bowling Records )〕 A poor batsman, Conway scored just 165 runs in 52 innings (batting average 4.34), with a highest score of only 20 not out. He acted as scorer at least once, for Worcestershire's game against Warwickshire at Dudley in 1913. On this occasion the other scorer was Chicko Austin, who scored in almost 500 first-class games.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Worcestershire v Warwickshire in 1913 )〕 Conway also played football for Aston Villa and Wolves.〔 He was born in Stirchley, which at that time lay in Worcestershire; he died at the age of 69 in South Shore, Blackpool, Lancashire. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Arthur Conway (sportsman)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
