Cricket 1909

402 CR ICK E T : A W EEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. S e p t . i 6, 1909. possessing excellent judgment and nerve; always reliable, and often difficult as a bowler (fast, medium and right), and a fine field in any part of the ground. As a captain he managed his bowling well during the season, but the side always depended too much on the one man.” Upon leaving W inchester at the end of the summer term of 1893, Mr. Mason was promptly tried for Kent, and although he did nothing remarkable he at once showed that he was a young player of very great possibilities. In the wet season of 1894 he averaged only 18 67 with the bat for the County, but made the first of his many hun­ dreds in first-class cricket in the shape of an innings of 102 against Lancashire at Ton­ bridge. In each of the seven following seasons he scored over eleven hundred runs for Kent, a performance the value of which can be rightly understood only when it is added that Lord Harris, alone of all earlier players, had ever made so large an aggregate for the County in any one year— to wit, 1175 in 1884. Such marked consistency naturally placed him in quite the forefront of batsmen, and honours began to shower upon him. The M.C.C. had early recognized his ability by electing him a member in 1894, and it was not long ere he was chosen for repre­ sentative matches against the Australians and for Gentlemen v. Players both at Lord ’s and the Oval. In 1897-8 he toured Australia as a member of Mr. Stoddart’s team, and in 1901 scored 1,561 runs and took 118 wickets in first-class matches alone. In 1902 he played regularly through a season for the last time, but whenever the claims of business have permitted he has turned out for Kent, and invariably with the happiest result. Essentially a forward player, and with a most finished style, he makes the majority of his runs by off drives and square and fine cuts. He is, moreover, not merely a fine weather batsman, for many sides, including Surrey, can speak feelingly of his ability to score on bad wickets. H is medium-paced bowling has brought about the downfall of hundreds of cricketers, and it is an interest­ ing fact that, in addition to scoring more runs, he has also taken more wickets for Kent than any other amateur in the whole history of tbe County’s cricket.
