  Born in Pitsmoor, Sheffield, Yorkshire, England, Elms was a right-handed batsman, who began his career with a duck, but scored 20 in the second innings against Derbyshire at the County Ground, Derby. He caught Levi Wright for 43 off his own slow medium bowling in Derbyshire's second innings, at a total cost of 28 runs. This was the only wicket Yorkshire took, and Derbyshire ran out winners by nine wickets.
