Hornung loved cricket. He and other writers of the period had formed a little team named 'Allahakbarries'. There's a little article about them (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1267008/The-XI-included-Jeeves-Wooster-Pooh-Peter-Pan-J-M-Barries-celebrity-cricket-team-revived.html). I believe he was a member of the MCC at one point, too.
