Phillip^' and several other minor " stars." A rather curious incident occurred in the match in May between Leicester and' Lancashire. Warren, of the former team, sent> a ball hard along the ground, and it was a, question whether the Lancashire man cbuld reach it before it touched the • boundary' but a little playful dog saved him rthe--trouble, and picking up the ball'ranaway ,wibh.it.x. Tour runs were allowed, although it was not a boundary hit. » - -> •»•!?'
