JOCKEY AS UMPIRE. “Jimmy” King, well-known as a jockey, used to run cricket and football teams, and treated his players most generously. One day “King’s Wanderers,” as the team was called, played a Melbourne mid-week team, I led by C. 11. Ross, one of the best wicket-keepers in Victoria. King won the toss, and sent the Melbourne j team into the field. Jim Phillips, the international umpire, was bowling at one end, and “Bobby” Pearce, the slow bowler, was at the other, and off Pearce’ Ross stumped the first two batsmen. King, sitting in the pavilion, expressed great disgust at the decisions of the umpire—one of his own team, by the way—and he said to the batsman who was going out to the wicket, “Tell that umpire to come in; I’ll go out instead of him." A moment later the umpire retired, and King, who knew the laws rff cricket by heart, took his place. To the next ball that Pearce bowled the batsman went out of his crease, Ross smartly stumped him, shouting, s that?” The answer, “Not out!” astounded Ross, who said, “What! not out! What do you mean?” King was not one whit abashed, for he replied “I’m sorry, Mr Ross, I can’t give him out. You took the ball in front of the wicket.” There was no gainsaying it; King’s decision was flnaL.
