In January 1911 Christian captained East Perth in a novelty match against the Eumarella women's cricket team, where the men had to bat, bowl, and field with their wrong hand and every misfield resulted in two runs being awarded to Eumarella. In the early 1911 grade season the competition was split into two grades, and Christian had the best bowling average in the A grade competition season at 8.16, the most wickets with 92, and also scored 600 runs at an average of 33.05 in addition to captaining East Perth A team to the premiership. In October 1911 he changed teams, moving to North Perth, due to a new district system being introduced to revitalize grade cricket with him falling in the North Perth division.
