I sh o u ld think that no batsman ever had such a remarkable experience in a county match as fell to A. E. Stoddart s lot in the match between Middlesex and Surrey at the Oval this week. In the first innings of Middlesex, when he had made 25, he was stumped and given out. by the umpire. It was a premature decision as it proved, because, though the stumps were hit hard by the wicket­ keeper, the bail was not dislodged, and the batsman was able to continue bis innings with the wicket unbroken. E v e n this was not the only piece of luck of an uncommon character A. E. had in the match. In the second innings his good fortune was quite as pronounced. This time he had only made some twenty, when a ball from Smith, Surrey’s left-handed bowler, bit the wicket hard without removing the bails. Two such extraordinary escapes in the same maich I should fancy represent a unique experi­ ence in any kind of cricket. R umotjb has it, and this time the report is true, as I am able to vouch, that a Sub-Committee has been appointed by the Marylebone Club to investigate and report on any bowling which, in their opinion may come under the category of doubtful delivery. The Committee of investigation, so it is said, consists of W. G. Grace, J. Shuter, and H. H. Massie, the Australian cricketer, who is now on a visit to England, and has taken part already in one cr two matches at Lord’s. M y information is to the effect that some at least of the bowlers whose action is considered to be open to objection have b en “ shadowed,” and certain of them, at all events, havecome through theordeal satisfactorily. I could mention names, but that would serve no useful purpose. At the same time it would create a sen­ sation, perhaps, if I even hinted at some of the bowlers who are considered open to suspicion. Personally, as I remarked last week, I think the Committee of the Marylebone Club would be doing more pood if they were at least to give ’ heir
