Career

All were friendlies, as Worcestershire did not re-enter the County Championship until the following year. Tipper made his debut on 23 June against Gloucestershire, and his 42 in the first innings helped avert a crisis. He had come in with the score on 27/5, but his steadying knock helped the team to 201.

He also took 2/49 in Gloucestershire"s own first innings (his first victim being Alfred Dipper), but second time around he was out for 3 and he took no more wickets before the game finished in a draw.

Tipper had no notable success in his next three games, although in mid-August (once more against Gloucestershire) he took the final two wickets in the first innings to record his best bowling analysis of 1.2-1-0-2. He played only one more first-class match, against Warwickshire a week later.

Here he made 43, his career best, and 0. His five overs of bowling were unsuccessful.
