Mid-on. 11. Short-leg 12. Long-leg. Some bowlers prefer to dispense with long-leg(No.l2); but this device should not be tried without good reason. In case of his removal it would be well to place him at mid-on (No. 10), as the field, it will be seen, is placed for tv <lve instead of eleven men. Messrs. C. K. Francis, Hill, W. Foord- Ktlcey, and W. M’Intyre are notable specimens of this class of howler. rhr so diagrams are intended to show chiefly the direction relative to the wickets in which ( h fieldsman is placed. They are not intended to he mathematically accurate in point of u’ ♦ mce as tho necessity of compressing the held to show the full length of tho wickets has / \r the fijeldsmen in several instances out of proportion, and the measurement of their jVc tions in comparison with tho scale of ground from batsman to batsman inaccurate.
