BOWLED, BUT NOT OUT.
One lias seen and heard of the ' wickets being hit and the bails refusing | to come off, and one has seen the bails ' lift and fall back into .their grooves, j It has generally been from slow bowl- , ing, and therefore the following para- j graph is a most unusual happening:— ' A fast ball passed between the middle I and leg stumps without removing the , bails, when the last batsmau of a Lei- ! cestershire League team was in. The side required 20 runs to win. The1 mystified umpire failed to pass the ball ' through, measured the ball, and also j found the stumps correctly spaced. Thus he gave the batsman not out, «nd his side obtained the runs. Tt seems actually almost impossible.
