  • Notes 
    • A prominent founding player, captain and club power was, Graham Trent Cumberbatch, son of a successful boot maker. He took a degree through Codrington College and became Assistant Inspector of Schools but, like others in his social position, found progress difficult. When in 1901 he applied for the position of Inspector of Schools in the Leeward Islands, the Governor thought it necessary to inform the Colonial Office that "he was a man of colour", and by implication, inappropriate for the post. Two general reactions to such discrimination emerged in Spartan. On the one hand, men like Cumberbatch and Cummins became ardent enthusiasts of the cricket ideology, attempting to share the cultural values of the whites with whom they competed both in cricket and in society. On the other hand, they developed a strong desire to win, to beat the representatives of those who displayed the prejudice. [p19] [9]
