He was affectionately called "Plum", and of his own name, "I rather liked it, particularly after I learned during my boyhood that a famous Middlesex cricketer, Pelham Warner, was called Plum." His move to the US soon converted his loyalty to baseball. He once said: "My game now is baseball. Oh, I am crazy about it. I'd much rather watch a baseball game than a cricket match. I think what's wrong with cricket if you are keen on one team - I was very keen on Surrey - well, I'd go to see Surrey play say Lancashire, and I'd find Lancashire has won the toss, and they'd bat all day, whereas with baseball the other side only bats about ten minutes at the most."
