C r i c k e t : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 168, UPPER THAMES STREET, LONDON, E.C. THURSDAY , A P R IL 2 8 t h , 1898. The abstract and brief chronicle of the ti Hamlet. I t is reported from Queensland that C. T. B. Turner has for some time been in hospital with the dengue fever. T h e latest victim of the “ handled ball ” disease is H . Donnan. He was batting for Burwood against Paddington (Sydney), and when he had made 17, a ball hit him on the body and dropped between the pad and bis leg. Kelly, the Paddington wicket-keeper, ran round to get at the ball, and Donnan, apparently afraid of being given out aa caught, hit the side of the pad, with the result that the ball fell on the turf. In answer to an appeal for “ handled ball,” the umpire gave Donnan out, though the bat sman states that he did not touch the ball with his hand. E ight of the Padding­ ton team voted that Donnan should continue his innin gs; the other three objected to this, and in the end it was decided that the umpire’s decision must be upheld. Donnan has certainly not been in luck’s way this season. I n the same match, Burwood were deprived in an unexpected manner of the services of another player, for Dwyer, annoyed that Donnan should be given out in what he considered an unfair manner, left his wicket and retired to the obscurity of the pavilion. TnERE would seem to be some doubt as to Kanjitsinbji’s present and future movements. He left the Ormuz at Ceylon, and was last heard of at Madras, where he told the inevitable interviewer that he hoped to accompany the next team from England to Aus­ tralia, and that he should not return to England until the county season was over. It is said, however, that he has promised to play for Mr. Stoddart’s team against England, at Hastings, in September. Nous verrons. O ut of a total of 185 from the bat, made by Brighton, against Port M el­ bourne, 140 were obtained by fours. M a r it z b u k g has decided to have an English professional next season, and a committee has been appointed to take steps to secure one. T he alteration in the date of sailing of Mr. Westray’s team to Portugal neces­ sitated a start from Duv r instead of Portsmouth. Tue party left Caaring
