The No- balling Question at Home.

— ■ - "I » —-—~ , ■■ A London oomspondenr, in bis last tatter^ writes as follows ?—-This is not the time of year whf»n one looks for criokat sensations. Y->t this week has brought one of the first magnitude. A secret meeting of the captains of the various cricket counties waa held, arid I the result was an intimation that cer tain prominent bowlers would not be play< d daring th© cemuig season by any of the counties represented, br cauee their delivery was considered unfair. That ia to say, these bowlers are not to he cautioned or finally warned, bat are absolutely boycotted. What lias given prominence to fclfe matter is that Arlhnr Mold, the famous fast: bowler of Lancashire, : is one of the viotims, It being alleged that his delivery is a • throw.' When I referred J to his being ' 00-balled' by Phillip*, Tfho bad done tho same thing by Ernest Jones in Australia, 1 took the liberty of expressing my entire dissent from the charge of throwing made against "•fold, and fortified ray opinion by the concurrent view of so eminent a judge of English cricket as the late Bishop Jenner, of Dunedin. I am glad to see that such a famoua cricketer as Mr A N ■ Hornby holds the same opinion A storm of controversy has been excited, and letters, • interviews/ and opinions, flood all the papers, but meanwhile the fiat has gone forth, j People are asking, however, why a m^re meeting of temporary captains, invested with no legislative authority, should have the power thus to deprive a county of its most brilliant exponent of one of the chief departments in the national game, and the exponent him self of his livelihood. Luckily for Mold himself, he took his ' benefit' last year, and cleared the unprecedented mm of £2600, Other boycotted bowlers are Fry (of Saasex), Medley (of Hampshire), Quaife (of Warwickshire), Geeson (of Leicestershire), and Roche (of Middle sex), while Bull (Essex), Tyler (Somer set), Bland (Sussex), and even Lock» wood (Surrey) aie ' warned.' So ac such very slow bowlers as Tyler, Qaaife, and Ball are among tbe cautioned, it is not mere pace that ie aimed at, but, assuredly, I never saw fairer fast bowling in my life than that of Mold or Lock wood 1 In view of the neeent London cable, Intimating that the committee of the Maryiebone Olub has passed a resolu tion altering the instructions to um pires, so that the captains of the opposing sides shall decide as to the fitness of the ground or the light for play, the umpires to decide when the oaptains disagree, it miy interest some to know that the existing instructions oo tfaege points to umpires, drawn ap In 1892 by the committee of the M.0.0 are as follows :—• Fitness of ground— law 43 : At the commencement of a match the umpires may be appealed to by either side as to the fitness of the ground for play. Should they not agree, p'.ay will not commence until they are ugreed, In case of interrup tion from rain, as soon as the rain has ceased the umpires thai', immediately, •without further instruction, inspect the wicket, unaccompanied by any of the players, and decide upon tbe fitneps. Should it prove ucfi\ they shall con tinue to inspect it at intervals, till they decide that; it ia fife for play, when they shall call upon tbe players to resume the game. Tbe sproand is unfit for play when water stands oo the surfaco, or when it is so wet-, muddy, or slippery as to deprive the bowles of a reason able footfaoid, or the fieldsmen of the power of free movement. Tbe umpires ■ball not be biassed by the opinion of either side, still less are they to-allow themselves to be influenced by the Impatience of the spectators for a re sumption of the game, and are not to be induced, by the public interest,, in ia particular match, to declare the ground fife for play unless they would consider that ground fit tinder any eircomstances. Fitnesi of light for play j The umpires may decide, on appeal, that there is not sufficient light for play. Should the light improve before the time for drawing stamps, they shall, without waiting for Instrac* tions, call upon the players to resume the game,' Commenting on the altera tion, the well informed Sydney writer, * Fot Out,* says ; ' This touches upon a matter that hue often been discussed by cricketers. The law as it now stands in Australia leaves it solely •with the umpires, a provision as to the fitness of the light, with which I quite agree. The amended law, in this respect at least, will probably lead to unpleasantness. All captains have not a thorough control over themselves —some, in fact-, are rather irritable— and where the game hae a grip of the onlookers, the appearance on the field of tbe captain of tbe batting side to consult with the rival captain as to the fitness of the light", may be followed by occttrrencps from which crickets ought to be j*s free as possible. The captains consulting as to the fitness of the wicket would, perhaps, be an improve ment on tbe existing custom of placing the whole of the responsibility tipoo the umpires. Especially would this be the case prior to the commeucemfltit of tbe match, and before tostieg for

THE WRIGHT OP ANOTHER MAN'S BURDEN.

You know when you have & harden to boar. Yon know when you are taxed to bear it. You know bow much trouble it gives you. But do you know how to shake it off You have aches and pains, you are weak and lame ; Others are sna'ching passing blessings, While yora are letting them pass. Mr T Alexander, Moore Street } Ash bnrton, says :—'For abont seven years I've had disordered kidneys. At times the tortures J ha?e li»d to put up with have been unbearable and I have had to knock off woik, In fact, work at each j times wrs impossible. The agony was right in tli@ small of my back and in such a part that it would strike all over my txdy. The geeretioas were also bad, red with a brick-dust like sediment and scalded considerably. When the attacks were severe I woeld be com pelled to go to the doctor about the jna|fer, t«s| somehow- their.- medioiiWß

were not ap to the mark; I was prelty j bad when I saw Doan'g Backache | Kidney Pills advertised. As th*y seemed a likely enough medicine for my ailment, I obtained a box at thtf :Abl-, barton Di'tig Company in East Btr^ei; The relief came soon after I etsrtf d asing them, and after a course the pains f quite stopped and I've felt right ett; r since. They are tip top pills, fttid should be made known to all sufferers from kidney tronbies,' T»ke no sub stitute, It was Doan's Backache Kidney Pills Mr Alexander ased, S^e you get the remedy. D( ans' Backache K'dncy Pille are for sale by all chem ists and storekeepers at 3s per box (six boxes 16s 6d), snd will be posted b|f the propiietorg Foster, McOiellan G<|, Sydney, on receipt of price.
