The practice of purposely aiming balls at batsmen with a view to maiming if not entirely disabling them is quickly diminishing, due, no doubt, to a great measure to the threat thrown out by a number of players that if injured hereafter in such a manner, the matter would be made a personal one and settled outside the ball field.
