Arthur Jewell - Early Life and Career

Early Life and Career

Although born in Chile, Jewell was educated in England, at Chigwell., and Felsted (1902–05)

Jewell first appeared in first-class cricket in South Africa, when he played five games for Orange Free State in the Currie Cup in the space of less than a fortnight in March 1911. He made his debut on the 11th against Transvaal; this match also saw the first-class debut of Arthur's brother John. Arthur, batting at three in each innings, made only 0 and 3 and claimed a single catch, to dismiss Maurice Luckin. His highest score that season was 34, made against Eastern Province in what proved to be his last appearance for eight years.

Famous quotes containing the words early, life and/or career:

    Foolish prater, What dost thou
    So early at my window do?
    Cruel bird, thou’st ta’en away
    A dream out of my arms to-day;
    A dream that ne’er must equall’d be
    By all that waking eyes may see.
    Thou this damage to repair
    Nothing half so sweet and fair,
    Nothing half so good, canst bring,
    Tho’ men say thou bring’st the Spring.
    Abraham Cowley (1618–1667)

    The effect of a good government is to make life more valuable; of a bad one, to make it less valuable.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    I restore myself when I’m alone. A career is born in public—talent in privacy.
    Marilyn Monroe (1926–1962)
