472 CEICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. Nov. 24, 1898. THE COUNTY QUALIFICATION. PROPOSALS BY THE NOTTS COMMITTEE. The following suggestions have been made by the Notts County Committee in connection with the Cjunty Cricket Qualification question :— The committee of the Notts County Cricket Club, feeling that the exiting rules require amendment in form, as well as uniformity in application, venture to suggest the following proposals, in the hope of restoring a genuine character to county cricket, and on ensuring that the eleven playing for a county shall repre­ sent the county itself, and not merely the county club and ground. Birth (1). A cricketer is qualified to play for that county in which at the time of his birth, his parents had their settled home, or in the event of the said parents having at that ti ne no settled home in E d gland, for the county in which he was bom. Residential (2). He is qualified to play for that county in which for the two years immediately previous to hisplaying lie has had his settled home. N.B.—The acquirement tr hiring of a tenement, unless used as a bona fide home, does not give a qualification. (PA IN FU L^ „CORN5n Ih r3'ry JflASOJT’S Killcorn LI The only painless corn cure.

A cricketer who has obtained, or is in process of obtaining a qualification on account of settled home, doesn’t forfeit that qualification by accept­ ing a temporary cricket engagement for the winter months, joining a team, playing cricket abroad during those months, orby travelling abroad, so long as he maintains that home during his absence, and comes back to it on his return to England. N.B.—In theciseof a man living in lodgings it will not be necessary for him to retain lodgings, but he must come back to them, or to similar ones in the county, immediately on his return from abroad. (4.) A cricketer qualified by residence forone county and changing his residence to another, forfeits his qualification for the first from the date of the change. (5). No one shall play under a residen­ tial qualification until the county for which he proposes to play shall have proved his qualification to the satisfaction of a committee appointed for the purpose. (6.) No one shall play for more than one county in the same year. (7.) A cricketer born abroad, and hav­ ing no residential qualification for any county, may acquire one by a bona fide residence as describedabove, for one year, but in the event of his again living abroad, or of his changing his residence to another county, the full period of two years will be necessary for qualification, N.B.—This privilege might be extende1 to men belonging to counties having no county cricket club. (8.) The county which proposes to qualify hy residence any cricketer, shall before application to the committee, give notice, with particulars supporting the claim, to the county for which the said cricketer may already have a birth qualification. (9.) Aregister shallbekept of cricketers claiming to play under residential quali­ fications. (10.) Every county playing cricketers under residential qualifications shall in every year, before the opening of the cricket season, certify to the committee that the qualification continues, and shall be required to prove the same if called upon. (11.) An appeal may be made from the decisionof the committee to the committee of the C.C. (12.) All previous rules for qualification are repealed. W. W b i g h t , Hon. Sec. Notts County C.C.
