CRICKET : A W E E K L Y RECORD OF T E E GAME. 41 ST. ANDREW’S HILL, LONDON, E.G. THURSDAY, JUNE 11, 1885. of these promising cricketers has bowled his last ball. The Daily News of Tuesday, though, contains the melancholy announcement of the death, on June 1, at the Brompton Barracks, Chatham, of A. W . Medley, Lieutenant Boyal Engineers, son of the late Lieut.-General J, G. Medley, B .E . L ieu ten an t M e d l e y was in the Wellington College Elevens of 1881 and 1882, having the best bowling average in the latter year. In 1883 for the Eoyal Military Academy he took the largest number of wickets (65), and last season was again the most successful bowler for the shop.” Unless I am mistaken, he played, too, for the Gentlemen of Sussex. The young officer was only in his twentieth year at the time of his death. A N S W E R S to C O R R E S P O N D E N T S M.J.F.—The number you wish for is not out of print. C.C.C,—One day matches, if not completed, are deeided on the first innings. X.Y.Z.—“ Cricket Chat ” for 1884 is out of print. X yklos .— We have no records of E. B. Brutton’s per­ formances in 1888. W . D iprose .— A bowler can bowl with both feet behind the bowling crease if he likes. I.D.A.—A bowler is about to deliver a ball and seeing that the batsman at his wicket is out of his ground (being too anxious to back up), he throws at the wicket near him instead of bowling, and having missed it 2 runs are obtained. What aie these runs scored to ? (No-balls.) J no . C ockerill .— B is entitled to the' bat. H. J. B anks . —1. The runs should be counted for a batBman’s average though the innings is incomplete, 2. Four would count as innings, two as not outs,t.«. runs would be added and not innings. F. C larke .— 1. Does Mr. C. T. Studd stand over six feet ? (Yes). Has he gone to China for good or only for a few years ? (We cannot say). 2. Is Mr. A. H. Studd, now at Cambridge, the youngest of the family ? (W e believe so). 8. Why is Henderson not playing for Surrey this year ? (He is not in good health). B. C.—The umpirehaving called “ Play,” A, thebowler, was about to deliver the ball in the ordinary course, when 35, the batsman, with the view of meeting the ball full pitch, goes out of his ground. A, who has not yet bowled the ball,perceives this and thiows the ball at the wickets. 1. Is this a no ball? (Yes, it is a no ball from the fact that it is thrown). 2. If not, and the wickets are put down, ia the batsman out, and if bo how is he out ? (Not out). 8. If the ball misses the wicket and goes to the boundary I for 4), are 4 runs to be added, and if so how are they to be scored? (Four no balls). 4. Is B at liberty to hit the ball away, or if he does so is he out for obstruct­ ing the field ? (Yes, the batsman can hit the no ball and can only be put out by being run out). 5. If B is not out and the ball is hit to the boundary, does he soore 4 runs ? (If the batsman hit.the ball to the boundary the 4 runs go to the batsman). E ve ryo n e will be heartily pleased to see that the long run of ill-luck which has overshadowed Derbyshire cricket has at last received a check. Their performance, too, in defeating Lancashire on Saturday was tho more creditable from the fact that they were 161 runs to the bad at the com­ mencement of their second innings, and that even almost to the very last the odds against their success seemed to be very high. The Gods, it is said, look down upon a brave man struggling with adversity and smile. I f it be true, Derbyshire must have had plenty of this kind of atten­ tion from Olympus. During the last two years the Derbyshire Eleven have played up pluckily, and like thoroughly good sportsmen, against a succession of bad luck unparalleled in the history of county cricket. All real well-wishers of the game will hope to see them rewarded with an equally long spell of good fortune. The abstract and briefchronicle of the time.— Hamlet. J ust four weeks ago I had occasion to notice an exceptionally good bowling performance of two officers of the Eoyal Engineers, Lieutenants Hedley and Medley, for the Sappers against Hundred of Hoo. It is difficult to realise, therefore, that one A n o t h e r member of the Maryle­ bone Club, Col. Byron, of the 60th Regiment, has just passed over to the great majority. The gallant officer who, in his day, played at Lord’s for Marlborough v. Rugby, took a lively interest in the promotion of cricket. At Winchester he used to encourage the youngsters connected with the Regiment to practise on the officers’ ground, and indeed, in every way showed his active sympathy with the game. Liver complaint and blood poisoning, engendered by long service in India and Africa, had completely shattered his health, and after a pain
