John Silvester Hutcheon

John Silvester Hutcheon CBE QC (5 April 1882 – 18 June 1957) was an Australian cricketer who played first-class cricket for Queensland from 1905 to 1910. He was later a prominent cricket administrator and barrister.

Life and career Jack Hutcheon was born in Toowoomba, where he attended Toowoomba Grammar School. Playing for Queensland against a Northern Rivers team in 1908-09 he scored 259 not out in 169 minutes in a team total of 828. He was invited to tour New Zealand with the Australian team in 1909-10 but declined as he was unable to take the necessary time off. An unflagging enthusiast for the interests of Queensland cricket, he was one of the major factors behind Queensland's admission to the Sheffield Shield in 1926-27 and Brisbane's accession to Test-ground status in 1928-29.

Hutcheon represented Australia at lacrosse in 1907. He was president of the Queensland Lacrosse Association from 1925 to 1949 and of the Australian Lacrosse Council from 1939 to 1946. He also represented Queensland at table tennis.

Personal life Hutcheon married Mabel Mary Wilkinson in Kangaroo Point, Brisbane, in 1907. They had two sons, one of whom predeceased him.
