Lord H akkis will propose to amend Law 48, and to substitute two laws as follows— “ (1.) If the umpire at the bowler’s end be not satisfied of the absolute fairness of the delivery of any ball he shall call ‘ No­ ball.’ “ (2.) The umpire shall take especial care to call ‘ No-ball ’ instantly upon de­ livery ; ‘ Wide ball ’ as soon as it shall pass the striker.” Mr. C. E. B o y le will propose to amend Law 5 as follows— “ The bat shall not exceed 3 f inches in the widest part ” instead of 4J inches as at present. Mr. I. D, W alker will propose to amend Law 37 by striking out “ except with con­ sent of the opposite side,” and to substitute for Law 2 (One-day Matches), “ The match, when not played out, shall be decided on the first innings.” DRAFT AMENDED LAWS of CRICKET’ as revised by the Committee of the Mary­ lebone Cricket Club. 1. The Game.—A match is played be­ tween two sides of eleven players each, un­ less otherwise agreed to ; each side has two innings, taken alternately, except in the case provided for in Law 53. The choice of innings shall be decided by tossing. 2. Runs.—The score shall be reckoned by runs. A run is scored —1st, So often as the batsmen after a hit, or at any time while the ball is in play, shall have crossed, and made good their ground from end to end. 2nd, For penalties under Laws 16, 34, 41, and allowances under 44. Any run or runs so scored shall be duly recorded by scorers appointed for the purpose. The side which scores the greatest number of runs wins the match.

Each wicket shall be 8in. in width and consist of three stumns, with two bails upon the top. The stumps shall be of equal and sufficient size to prevent the ball from passing through, 27in. out of the ground. The bails shall be each 4in. in length, and when in position, on the top of the stumps, shall not project more than Jin. above them.

This shall not prevent the batsman from beating the ground with his bat, nor the batsman nor bowler from using sawdust in order to obtain a proper foothold. 10. The Bowler, No-Ball.—The ball must be bowled ; if thrown or jerked, the umpire shall call “ No ball.” 11.
