Vidkun Quisling
I seem to recall a few months ago you said you had a biography which could help. Since I intend to put the article up for A-class review in a fortnight's time, now would be a wonderful timet o layer some material of that kind in. Regards, - Jarry1250 [Who? Discuss.] 11:08, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

Arie Molenaar
In case you are still interested in, I found this report in Indian Express on Jan 28, 1949 :

Ten years gaol for Holland Cricketer

Rotterdam, Jan 27

Holland's crack fast bowler, twenty seven year old Arie Molenaar, was sentenced today to ten years imprisonment for complicity in the murder of Jacob Boer, a shop keeper at Zandvoort in March 1945. Molenaar had been engaged by Ramsbottom club, Manchester as a professional for next season, shortly before his arrest on Oct 8

Two other men, Hendrick Kinpscheer and Johanned Hersback, each received ten years. The prosecution, which had sought a fifteen year sentence for each, said that Molenaar had evolved the plan to rob the shopkeeper, but had not fired the shot. Molenaar admitted this.

The charges against Knipscheer and Hersbach were of having shot Boer, robbed him and buried the body - Reuter. Tintin 12:59, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

On Oct 10 report, it is said that he robbed 27,000 guilders. Nothing else that is useful. Tintin 13:06, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

Norman Callaway
I am working on expanding the Callaway article and would like your help in clearing up something.

There are some sources which say that he played for Waverly - Cricinfo, A Gideon Haigh article in Age in 1991 etc. I am looking through the newspapers from newspapers.nla.gov.au which seems to indicate that he was with Waverly till around Dec 1913, but was with Paddington from early 1914. For eg, |||l-year=1914 this article in 9/Dec/1914 has Kippax and Callaway playing for Waverley. But by |||l-year=1914 Feb 14, he is playing for Paddington, |||l-year=1914 here he even played against Waverley. |||l-year=1914 In April, his averages for the season appear under Paddington.

Is it possible to change clubs as late as December ? Can I assume that he moved from Waverley to Paddington in Dec/Jan ? Tintin 13:27, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

Got this from this site that makes things clearer :

"He commenced his Sydney grade cricket with Paddington in 1913-14 making his 1st grade debut on 27th September 1913 aged 17 years and 175 days. He top scored with 41 against Gordon, Monty Noble being nest best with 36. Another notable player for Paddington was Victor Trumper. Callaway played 2 games for NSW Colts, scoring 125 against Victoria on the MCG.

The following season (1914-15) he moved to Waverley where he was 2nd in the season’s averages behind Alan Kippax. In the 1915-16 season, he scored 705 runs @ 58.75." Tintin 02:55, 23 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I had made an error there. The report on Callaway at Waverley was from Dec '14 (not '13), which means that (as confirmed in the second post) he moved *to* Waverley at the beginning of 1914/15, not the other way in the middle of 1913/14. Tintin 11:46, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
