BIOGRAPHY

John Richard Mason (26 March 1874 – 15 October 1958), known as Jack Mason, was an English amateur cricketer who played for England in five Test matches on A.E. Stoddarts 1897–98 tour of Australia. A right-hand bat and right-arm fast-medium pace bowler, Mason played county cricket for Kent County Cricket Club between 1893 and 1914, captaining the side between 1898 and 1902. With a height over six feet, and an attractive, elegantly straight play with the bat, Mason was considered one of the finest amateur allrounders to play for Kent. Mason was chosen as one of Wisdens five Cricketers of the Year in 1898.
