No communications can beinserted un­ less they bear the name and address of the writer, as a proof of good faith, not necessarily for publication, THE NEW CODE. To th e E ditor op “ C k ic k e t .” S ir ,— 1 have read with much interest, the several comments upon the Revised Buies of our national game, which appear in C ricket of October 25. I agree with “ H. A. E.” that it should be generally adopted tha t all unfinished one-day matches shall be decided on the first innings, if an arrangement has not been come to between the captains of the respective sides to the contrary. Disputes often arise at the close of one-day matches as to whether they are drawn or not. When one side has completed two in­ nings and the other one, and for want of time have to leave their second innings unfinished, there is no doubt that such a rule is required. In the second part of his letter “ H. A. E.” refers to the want of a rule for the arrangement of boundaries. He mentions a case when such a rule was required, and says, “ Frequent occur­ rence of such a case is not likely ; ” but the same thing occurred in a match in which I took part some time ago, when after running four for a hit the batsmen were told that the ball reached the boundary (a hedge bordered with long grass) and they were only entitled to three runs. I agree that the four runs should be counted as the umpires did not call “ boundary ” before the runs were obtained. In reference to the last part of his letter, if “ H. A. E.” will refer to Eule 14 of the Revised Code he will see that it is clear that a batsman can score from a “ n o - b a l l b u t I confess the rule is not clear as to whether the ball is to be included in the over or not. I do think um­ pires should be careful to call “ no-ball ” im­ mediately the ball leaves the bowler’s hand. It is often the case that the umpire calls “ no­ ball ” after it has been struck. I also concur with another correspondent “ that ‘ overthrows ’ should be reckoned as ‘ extras’ both in the score and analysis,” and that the bowler should not suffer from them in his analysis.—Yours, & q ., W illiam T. L e e , Cardiff, Nov. 5. ANOTHER AUSTRALIAN TEAM. The following letters on the subject of the profits of the last Australian team in England have appeared in the Australasian since the last number of C ricket containing the official statement of the Australians, was published:— Sis,—I have carefully read your article under above heading in last week’s issue, and with your permission would like to make a few remarks thereon. You say, referring to the refusal of the English clubs to allow the Aus­ tralians half the gross proceeds of grounds and stands, that the net profit on the last English tour was less than £270 per man, out of which had to come expenses for wines, &o. Now, Sir, I should like to see the Aus­ tralian Eleven publish their accounts, showing their gross takings and the amount they have deducted for expenses, and until this is done I, in common with a good many others, shall continue to believe that their profits were nearer £700 per man than £270. It has been stated that their share from the matehes played at the Oval alone was upwards of £3,000, and that they received something like £2,0Q0 at Manchester, which amounts, say Next Number of CRICKET will be published Thursday, December 27.
