CRICKET INCIDENT.
UNUSUAL FINISH TO GAME.
Aii unusual finish to a cricket match is related by a correspondent in nu English paper. " 1 was playing in a local cricket match, and excitement ran high," lie says. " When my side went in we had to make 122 runs to win. We only wanted two runs when our eighth wicket fell, and 1 was tho next batsman. " J hit tho very first ball hard, but unfortunately it struck my friend tho butsman at the. other end full on tile skull and rebounded to be safely caught by the bowler. Of course, I was out. 'caught and bowled.' My opposite number was ' out' for good, it being threo days before he remembered having taken any part in the match. " As there was no partner for the last incoming batsman wo thus lost the match by ono run."
