Over 8,000 spectators had crammed into Marrickville Oval on Saturday 1 April 1944 for the clash between defending four-time premiers St George and the hopeful Marrickville First XI, attempting to win the 1st Grade competition for the first time. Chasing Saints’ 9-150 declared, Wally Horne, listed at no. 7, came in to bat with the score a shaky 5-115. He skied the second ball he received from the St George champion and Australian Test spin-bowler Bill O’Reilly but was dropped in a fielding mix-up
