Career
Stevens made a quiet debut against Lancashire in the 1905 County Championship, scoring 4 in his only innings and sending down two undistinguished overs of leg-spin for the cost of 18 runs; this was the only bowling spell of his career. He also took a single catch. It was to be seven years before he played first-class cricket again.
In the three seasons from 1912 to 1914 he appeared 17 times for Worcestershire. 1912 saw a poor return from Stevens, but the next summer he scored 145 runs in eight innings at 20.71, making 35 and 32 against Hampshire. In the 1914 season he played eight matches, his most in a single summer, and hit his highest first-class score of 41 against Leicestershire in July.
After 1914 cricket was suspended because of the war, and afterwards Stevens made only one more appearance, for HK Foster's XI against Worcestershire in August 1919. His swansong was not a successful one: he was dismissed for 1 and 14.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“The problem, thus, is not whether or not women are to combine marriage and motherhood with work or career but how they are to do so—concomitantly in a two-role continuous pattern or sequentially in a pattern involving job or career discontinuities.”
—Jessie Bernard (20th century)
“I seemed intent on making it as difficult for myself as possible to pursue my “male” career goal. I not only procrastinated endlessly, submitting my medical school application at the very last minute, but continued to crave a conventional female role even as I moved ahead with my “male” pursuits.”
—Margaret S. Mahler (1897–1985)
“I’ve been in the twilight of my career longer than most people have had their career.”
