He was absent hurt in the second innings, and Derbyshire went to an innings defeat. He was a regular starter in the upper-middle order in his debut season and made 68 against Northamptonshire and 65 against Essex. His one over of bowling was against Lancashire. In 1912 he played against the South Africans and played one County match against Warwickshire. He made little impression in either match.
