Cricket 1912

A pkil 27, 1912 CEICKET : A WEEKLY EECOED OF THE GAME. 95 life and limbs from tlie dastardly attack that had been made on both, to leave the full force of the deadly missile to strike his wicket instead of his leg ; and to end the innings, so far as his side was concerned, by being immediately bowled out. Grateful for his escape, he was about to return to the dry ditch, when he was peremptorily stopped, and told that the other side was ‘ going in,’ and that he was expected to •field.’ His conception of the whole art and mystery of •fielding,’ may be summed up in the three words of serious advice which he privately administered to himself on that trying occasion—avoid the ball. Fortified by this sound and salutary principle, he took his own course, impervious alike to ridicule and abuse. Whenever the ball came near him, he thought of his shins, and got out of the way immedi­ ately. ‘ Catch i t ! ’ ‘ Stop it ! ’ ‘ Pitch it up ! ’ were cries that passed by him like the idle wind that he regarded not. He ducked under it, he jumped over it, he whisked himself away from it on either side. Never once, through the whole innings did he and the ball come together on anything approaching to intimate terms. The unnatural activity of body which was necessarily called forth for the accom­ plishment of this result, threw Thomas Idle, for the first time in his life, into a perspiration. The perspiration in consequence of his want of practice in the management of that particular result of bodily activity, was suddenly checked ; the inevitable chill succeeded : and that, in its turn was followed by a fever. For the first time since his birth, Mr. Idle found himself confined to his bed for many weeks together, wasted and worn by a long illness, of which his own disastrous muscular exertion had been the sole first cause.” The above references to cricket, together with those given in Vol. X X I X . of C r i c k e t , may be briefly summar­ ised for reference as follows :— “ Pickwick Papers.” Chapters V II. and X X IV . “ The Old Curiosity Shop.” Chapters X X IV . and X X V . “ Bamaby Budge.” Chapter X LV III. “ Martin Chuzzlewit.” Chapters V., X X V II. and X X X V I. “ David Copperfield.” Chapter XV II. “ The Mystery of Edwin Drood.” Chapter X V II.
