Caricature of Kenneth Lotherington HutchingsCaption read "A Century Maker". Brief biography read "K. L. Hutchings - Men of the Day No. 1079. Was born at Southborough , a village near Tunbridge Wells on December 7th 1882, and was the youngest of four brothers, all of whom gained their colours at Tonbridge School. K.L. Hutchings was in the eleven for five years, and captained the team for the last two, with an average of 47 per innings in 1901 and 62 in 1902. He was one of the Kent XI that visited the United States in 1903; but he was hardly known in first class cricket till last season, when he was one of the most successful bats in England; he averaged 64.66 for Kent in the County Championship games..... By scoring two centuries for Kent in their match with Worcestershire, Mr. K. L. Hutchings joins the select company who have gained this distinction".Contributed by:
