Cricket: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 168, UPPER THAMES STREET, LO ID O I, E.C. .THURSDAY, JUNE 21 st , 1900. $a\ulton Gossip. The abstract and brief ehronlole of the time.— Eaml+,% Commenting on the dismissal of Lewis last week in the match at the Oval, between Somerset and Surrey, the Field says:— “ A batsman, mistaking the umpire’ answer to an appeal for a catch, left hi ground and had his wicket put down. It was decided that he was stumped, though it seems tolerably clear that, since he was not taken in the act of playing the ball, he was technically run out. Equitably he should not have lost his wicket at all. The responsi­ bility for taking an opponent’s life in such a manner rests between the player who puts down the wicket and his captain, and in such cases it is invariably bandied about between the pair. Both are, of course, reluctant to accept the advantage which they have gained, but it is necessary for the one to act suddenly without a full appreciation of the circumstances, while the other considers himself bound in some way or other by the traditions of the game to refrain from dis­ avowing his colleague’s deed. But there can hardly be two opinions that it was not for the professional wicket-keeper, even if he had time for thought, to spare his victim. Either such an act of generosity is to be deprecated altogether or it should be performed by the captain. A c o n t e m p o r a r y gives an amusing account of the late Mies Kingsley’s attempt to introduce cricket among the West African natives:— They have a green orange which never gets yellow, and this we used as a ball. I got some stumps, and instructed the natives how to play; and a distinguished chief, who was accused of murder, and had to take refuge in the bush, acted as umpire, 'lhe woret of it was, whenever there was a “ lost ball,” as there was almost every four minutes, the wretches would fly up the trees, and bring new balls, instead of going after the old one ;
