In a match which Yorkshire won by an innings and 41 runs, Jones scored 13 runs in Liverpool and District first-innings, before being dismissed stumped by David Hunter off the bowling of Bobby Peel. In Yorkshire's first-innings he took 4 wickets from his 40 overs, conceding 71 runs. His wickets included the England Test cricketer Lord Hawke. In the Liverpool and District second-innings he was last man out, dismissed stumped by Hunter off the bowling of Saul Wade for 3.
