GIVEN IN—AND OUT
X. Haig, Middlesex cricketer, had a curious experience at Lord's when the Gentlemen were batting in their first match of the season. He reached forward to play Woolley, but missed the ball, and Duckworth promptly whipped off the bails, and appealed for stumping. Butt, the umpire, gave Haig not out, and the batsman remained at his crease. Then came an appeal from the bowler's end for a catch at the wicket, and this was answered against 'Haig, who consequently had to retire to the pavilion. This is one of those rare incidents at cricket that are so puzzling to the average onlooker who is not thoroughly acquainted with the laws of the gam£. It was hard luck for Haig to be given not out and out from the same ball.
