Cricket 1882

70 CRICKET; A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. JUNE 8, 1882. preservative eleven of England was tliat between Surrey and Yorkshire, at Sheffield. It was hardly likely, as I said, that these counties would be indisposed to alter their fixture, and I believe that the change now only wants the consent of the Yorkshire Committee. To those whom it may concern. The Old WePingtonian match is fixed for the 17th of June! I t is not for me to say whether the Editor is only paying me a delicate compli- ■ment when he asks me to give the “ now world-wide publicity of my notes ” to a statement of a personal character. He re­ quests the indulgence of those Secretaries whose scores have not been inserted in the present number. The pressure on his space, owing to the flattering reception the paper has met with everywhere, has placed him already in something of a difficulty to meet the unexpected demands. The second week necessitated an enlargement from twelve to sixteen pages and by next Thursday an ar­ rangement will be made which will give four more pages for the publication of scores. He also wishes to state that he will be grate­ ful to Secretaries who will place a bill of “ C b i c k e t ” in their Club pavilions, so that the objects of the paper may be generally known to their members. | [ANSWER S TO COR R E S P ON D EN T S . H. G regory , Hon. Sec., Greville C.C.—It being decided in a match to draw at a fixed time, a wicket having been taken at the third ball of the last over, whether the umpire at opposite end to the bowler can decide to draw the stumps before the completion of the over ? (The match was practically over. As an interval of two minutes is allowed for a batsman to come in, the captain of the in side has a perfect right to refuse to send another to the wickets.) A m ateur .— Kindly let me know what you consider a “ yorker” and a “ full pitch ball,” as I am anxious to know the difference between the two ? (A yorker is a ball pitched not far enough for a batsman standing in his ground to hit away before it grounds, but pitched so far that it must be “ killed dead” when it pitches. A full pitch ball is a ball that can be taken before it reaches the ground.) G eo . O g ilvie (Hanover.)—Cricket Law 24 pro­ vides that in order for a man to be given out 1 b w, the ball shall be pitched in a straight line from the bowler’s to the striker’s wicket. Now I have heard it several times contended by good players, and men well acquainted with the Laws of Cricket, that owing to the extraordinary screw imparted to the ball by some bowlers—to allow for which the ball must necessarily be pitched some­ what out of a direct line—the law is now inter­ preted as though the words ‘ ‘ shall have been pitched in a straight line from it to the striker’s wicket ” were expunged. Is this interpretation correct?— (The ball must pitch in a straight line, from wicket to wicket.) M.C.C. a n d G round v . L ancing C ollege .— Played at Lancing on Tuesday.
