Walter Scott (American cricketer)

Walter Scott (19 April 1868 – October 24, 1907) was an American cricketer who played several first-class matches for Philadelphia-based teams during the late 19th century.

A native of Pennsylvania, he began playing for New York teams as a teenager, but was best known for his career with the Philadelphia-based Belmont Cricket Club, which extended from 1883 to 1894, and included eleven seasons of Halifax Cup matches.

[9] Scott's next appearance at first-class level came the following season, against a touring English side, and he again took a single wicket while failing with the bat.

[16] A Gentlemen of Philadelphia team toured England in 1889, with Scott a key member, although no matches were granted first-class status.

[2] His obituary in the Wisden Cricketers' Almanack described him as "a careful and good class batsman, a fine field, a very useful slow bowler".
