The son of Hugo Ames, he was born at Fulham and was educated at Radley College,[1] where he captained the college cricket team in 1910. He made one appearance in first-class cricket for H. D. G. Leveson Gower's XI against Oxford University at Eastbourne in 1912.[2] Batting twice during the match, he was dismissed without scoring by Neville Fraser in the teams first-innings, while in their second-innings was dismissed for the same score by the same bowler, with the fall of his wicket giving Oxford University victory by an innings and 38 runs.[3] He served in the London Regiment as a lieutenant during the First World War.[4] He relinquished his commission after the war in September 1921.[5]
He died at Marylebone in March 1956.
