alfred street -lrb- cricket umpire -rrb-

alfred edward street , born at godalming , surrey , on 7 july 1869 and died at exmouth , devon , on 18 february 1951 , was a cricket player for surrey and later a respected cricket umpire who stood in several test matches between 1912 and 1926 .
as a player , street was a middle or lower order right-handed batsman and an occasional medium-pace bowler .
he played regularly for the successful surrey side in only three seasons , from 1894 to 1896 , and his one innings of distinction was an unbeaten 161 against leicestershire at grace road , leicester in 1895 , when his batting enabled a surrey recovery from 94 for six wickets to reach a total of 385 , which proved enough to win by an innings .
he disappeared from first-class cricket after 1898 .
in 1909 , street joined the list of first-class umpires and remained on it for the following 25 years , retiring at the end of the 1934 season , though he reappeared for one match in 1939 .
he officiated in test matches for the first time during the 1912 triangular tournament and stood again in matches in the 1921 , 1924 and 1926 seasons .
in all , he umpired in 523 first-class matches .
in the 1919 season , street was the central figure in the heygate incident in the match between somerset and sussex at the county ground , taunton .
with the scores tied , the injured sussex batsman harold heygate took more than the two minutes allowed to come to the wicket , and , following a somerset appeal , street adjudged him to be timed out and the match result to be a tie .
street 's decision was upheld by mcc , though the laws of cricket at the time did not allow for a `` timed out '' dismissal and heygate was marked on the scorecard as `` absent hurt '' .
for a fuller description of this incident , which caused considerable controversy at the time , see the article on heygate .
his father , james street , was also an umpire , who stood in one test in 1890 , as well as a player for surrey .
his uncle , george street , was an umpire too , but was not a player at first-class level .
