The Week 1053

I've completed the crossword but uncertain about the wordplay on final clue:
15d Box at Lord's perhaps for Jack Hill (9)
I have P?O?E?T?R and reckon the answer is PROTECTOR which could be a box used by cricketers at Lord's. But why for Jack Hill?
I now have : for = PRO and Hill = TOR but still left scratching my head for Jack = TEC?
Has anybody a suggestion please?
