Schmoll played as a wicket-keeper. In January 1904, playing for Auckland in his second first-class match, he took four catches and a stumping in the first innings, equalling the New Zealand first-class record for dismissals in an innings that was not beaten until 1964–65 (by Robin Schofield).[3] He moved from Auckland to Wellington in 1906.[4] He had a high reputation as a wicket-keeper, and would probably have played more first-class cricket but for his unreliable batting.[5]
Schmoll worked as an upholsterer.[6]
