The Editor regrets that the pressure of scores during the summer only allows him to guarantee insertion of scores of clubs arranging for publication of all their matches. A charge of Is. a match, with a minimum of 21s., is made for the insertion of scores. Odd scores are inserted at 2s. each if space permits. Scores must reach “ Cricket ” Offices, 168, Upper Thames Street, E.C., by first post on Tuesday following the match. Cricket: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 168, UPPER THAMES STREET, LOUDON, E.C. THURSDAY, MAY 24 th , 1900. $ a * u U o n The abstract and brief chronicle of the time.— Hamit *. A 'WEEK or two ago, when referring to the danger the M.C.C. would be running if they tried to incorporate their experi­ mental rules into the laws, we stated that the Australians, Americans, and English League Clubs, for their own convenience, had made certain modifica­ tions in the M.C.C. laws. They have also made rules entirely their own to govern their particular contests—rules of which cricketers at large know absolutely nothing. What meaning, for example, does the following extract from the Australasian convey to English cricketers, not excluding members of the M .C .C .:— The pennant committee have inflicted a fine of one guinea on Carlton for infringing pennant rule No. 11 in their match against North Melbourne. The result of the con­ test has not been interfered with in any way. F r o m the Australasian, however, we find that the rule is as follows :— No person shall be eligible to play with any club in the last round unless he has played with such club in some one or more pennant matches during the current season. I t wae almost a curiosity of cricket that Bowley, after making 95 for Wor­ cestershire against Sussex, at the end of last week, should have got rid of Relf with his first ball when he had made 96 for Sussex. A n amusing little slip by a compositor makes one of the largest daily papers say that in a recent match Yorkshire played Washington of Wombell and “ Lees of Whitehead.”
