* 8 8 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J uly 16, 1908. CORRESPONDENCE. The Editor does not hoi I himself responsible for the opinions of his correspondents. TH E O R D E R OF T H E MOUSE. To th<i Editor of C rick b t. S ir ,— N ow that the Test m atch cap has at last com e in to existence— the idea was originally started in Cricket m any a lon g year ago, I rem em ber—w e can turn our thoughts to other necessary decorations and distinctions. W ill Cricket take the lead in this good w ork ? If so, w hy should not Cricket and its readers start the Illustrious Order o f the M ouse? Every week sees w orthy recipients ; the m ost w orthy could be elected b y a m ajority o f votes. As in other orders there m ay be classes. For exam ple, the captains of team s w hich play for a draw instead of goin g for a w in —I need not further specify instances— w ould have the strongest claim s to be grand officers. Cases, too, occur where batsm en w ho can h it a half volley for 4 play it softly away for a safe single, the reason being that they are overcom e by the nervousness of the situation, or— as it appears to those w ho look on—because they desire the personal gratification of m aking their individual score 50 or 100. There m ight be, again, honorary m em bers of the Illustrious Order of the Mouse. A nd here certain journalists, w ho praise players for such tactics as these, m ight have ju st claim s to the distinction . H ow ever. I have n o wish to do m ore than outline the sch em e; Cricket and its readers cou ld decide on the w orking. Possibly pow er m ight be retained to rem ove recipients' from the Illustrious Order ; a locus pcenitentiw should be allowed. For exam ple, say that a county player, under stress of som e m align influence, .costs his side the gam e by taking four hours to accum ulate 70 or 80 runs, he bein g by nature a free-hitting batsm an, a subsequent perfor­ m ance m ore in accord w ith his previous and better m ethods should be allow ed to debar him From the privileges and honour of the Illustrious O rder.— Yours, &c., “ K ino W illo w .” W a n d e r e r s .
