UNUSUAL
Death as a direct result of a blow from a cricekt ball is the rarest of happenings, yet a case occurred the other day in Melbourne. W. Griffiths, captain of Elsternwick second eleven, attempted to catch a lofty drive, when the ball went through his hands and struck him on the head. A fractured skull resulted, and the unfortunate fellow died shortly afterwards. The classical example of this kind was the similar one which caused the death of Frederick, Prince of 'Wales, son of George 11. and father of George Hi.
