Jan-30-16  zanzibar: The Bolus here is likely <Andrew Bolus>:

<WAS born at Wolverhampton in 1856, and was educated at the Bridge Trust School, Birmingham. It was not until he was nearly thirty years of age that he commenced to take an interest in chess. The first column to attract his attention was that in the English Mechanic, then conducted by the late Rev. J. Pierce. Mr. Bolus' first problem was submitted to Mr. Pierce and accepted by him as being much above the average of such productions. This encouraged him to enter in solution tourney, which commenced shortly after, and here also he was successful, winning the first prize in the first solution tourney he ever entered. Mr. Bolus regularly corresponded with Mr. Pierce for some years, and was honoured by him with request to examine some of the problems intended to be published in the Pierce Gambit." It is notable that not one problem examined by Mr. Bolus was found, on publication, to be unsound.

Though he never attained to the very highest rank of composers, Mr. Bolus' productions have always possessed considerable merit, and he has won many composing and solving prizes in the English Mechanic, B.C.M., Bristol Mercury, Pen and Pencil, Hackney Mercury, etc.>

  offramp: Bodfish Bolus & Hyde. It sounds like a batsman complaining about a shy but successful opposition fast bowler.
