THUBSDAY, AUGUST 20, 1885. AN SW ERS to CORRESPONDENTS A. J. Brown. —We do not understand what yon mean while the ball was in play. If you were in the act of playing the ball yon were out. O. H.—The batsman can inquire of the umpire on the leg *ide if the wicket-keeper infringed the law, and can give the batsman not out whenever the wicket­ keeper acts illegally. J. W. H unt —In the way that your query is described A. was caught and bowled. George Frank.— 1. Certainly not. 2. We fhould say not, but we have had no experience of them. P opil T each er. —1. Briggs has appeared. 2. It is not a no ball, Geopinf..— The book you name can be procured at this office. O . E d w a r d s .— Hehas never been captain. Shrewsbury was captain on Bank Holiday. Jonf.s, Smith and Robinson.— As there was no speci­ fication made as to completed innings, it is a drawn bft. R.8.F.G.—1. If neither his bat nor any part of his foot are without the crease he is out. 2. Yes. 8. Do youmean if a run is ma*1e? You do not say so. Subscriber to C ricket.— Not out. A.F.C.—Quite right. Caught at the wiclet. B. C olthrup.— 1. As a completed innings. 2. It is a wide ball. k County P layer.— The cases cited want to be seen to determine. The incident, however, may te summar­ ised tbus—“ That the umpire should watch the bowler fromthe moment he takes up position, and if he throws call no-ball, and whin the bat^aan stands fully preparedto take the ball about to be delivered, it plainly shows the game is on.” It may be added that Nos.91 and 95 of Cricket answer the points in question. -McP7IYIM0N->G<W IP * -e The abstract and briefchronicle of the time.— Ham let I t 'will interest Oxonians to know that Loretto School w ill send another promising cricketer and footballer to their University this winter. I refer to L . R. Paterson, who goes up to Keble College. Paterson, who has been at the top of the batting averages at Loretto for two years, has made several good scores, notably 87 against Uppingham, in 1 8 8 8 ; 136 against Edinburgh Academy, in 1884, and 122 for Fettes this summer. He has also figured conspicuously for the last four winters in the Football Fifteen, the Captaincy o f which he is ju st giving up. Andrew Pearson, perhaps the best bat in the Loretto eleven, has matriculated at B .N .C ., and will be in residence at Oxford next summer. As I have had several enquiries on the subject I may add that Mr. Page will Captain the Oxford, and either Mr. J. A. Turner or Mr. H . W . Bain ­ bridge, the Cambridge E leven, next season. I t may not be generally known to Old Harrovians that L ord Bess- borough, some time ago, began a Book of Photographs of Old Members of Harrow E levens. The book has been in charge o f Sam H oare, and a good many photos and other like­ nesses have been obtained. L ord Bessborough would be glad to receive any which can be supplied, addressed to him to Field House, Harrow . Under the title o f “ A Purse for Custos,” a circular, penned by Dr. Butler, the late Head-Master of Har. row School, and bearing his signature, has been sent to Old Harrovians, in ­ viting subscriptions to a fund for the benefit of “ Sam H oare,'' known to generations of Harrow boys as Custos. As one who retains pleasurable recol­ lections of many hours spent in the company o f Custos I am glad to have the opportunity o f calling the atten­ tion o f Old Harrovians to a case in every way deserving of their help. D r. Butler’s appeal, though, will enlist their sympathies more thor­ oughly than any poor words o f mine, and I, therefore, give the circular verbatim — Our old friend, Custos, “ Sam Hoare,” has been obliged, on account of failing health, to resign the post which he has held for thirty-seven years. He is now in his seventieth year, and has suffered much of late from weakness of the
