Cricket Curiosities Sit. — In Eton and Kings Dr. M. R. James

described a game which was won before the winning side had received a ball. The match was between Kings' choir-boys and St. John's choir-boys. St. John's went in and were all out for nought. Kings went in and the first b.sll bowled was a no-ball.—Yours faithfully, R. E. TEsteks-r. Stanningfield Rectory, Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk.
