REFORMS SUGGESTED BY DR . W . G. GRACE . In the enterprising Sunday Times Dr. Grace has a long article entitled “ Some Proposed Reforms Examined.” For the most part he goes over well-worn ground, but at the end of the article he enters seriously on the question of reform. Here, although his suggestions are not by any means new, he puts his case very well indeed, and as anything coming from such a great authority must have great weight, we append his conclusions: D e a w n M a t c h e s : A S u g g e stio n . “ As I have already mentioned, one of the great drawbacks to cricket of the present day is the great number of unfinished matches. Every cricketer agrees that it is most unsatisfactory to play match after match that ends in a draw. As a remedy, I would suggest that all matches should be decided on the first innings, if there is not time to play them out. This would do away with the present futility of drawn matches in first-class cricket. If the counties adopted this method of deciding the champion­ ship matches, I think one point might be scored for a first innirgs wiD, and two for a win outright. The eleven that were behind in the first innings would do all they could to retrieve the game, and the two points for a full win would encourage the side that was ahead on the first innings to try to win outright, and so would keep the interest up to the end. Often the players and spectators in the fame match would enjoy two good and exciting finishes instead of one, or not even that. “ I have been considering the ‘ run everything o u t ’ idea, recommended by m y old friend, Mr. C. C. Clarke. I am afraid I must differ from him, as I am sure that, if adopted generally, it would encourage bad cricket, especially on small grounds. The smaller the ground the easier it is to hit out o f ; a poor lofty hitter would just manage to hit the ball over the ropes, and would score four or six for the stroke, whilst the good hitter who drove the ball beautifully all along the ground would only score one or two at the most. Would this be fair to the good hitter ? Certainly not. I have no doubt batsmen would tire sooner if they had to tun everything out, but this would not, of necessity, get them out any sooner, and so save time. On the other hand, this ‘ run everything out ’ idea might waste time in the end, for if a batsman found he was tiring, there would be nothing to prevent him from playing a slow, pottering game, and only running when he could do so comfortably and without taking any risk. Implements or the Game, Etc. “ I am conservative and opposed to any drastic change, such as adding to the height or breadth of the wickets, or making the bat smaller than is allowed by the present rule. I am equally opposed to any batsman using a bat wider than is allowed by law. I rather fancy lately there have been some very wide bats about. There was an outcry against this many years ago, and for some time every club possessed a gauge with which it measured the bats of the players. During the visit of the Aus­ tralian Team in 1884 I noticed the bats they used looked as if they would not go through the gauge, and I suggested that they should see if this was so. Many of the bats were too wide and had to be reduced. George Giffen, in his book 1W ith Bat and Ball,’ says : ‘ But annoyed though we were, a little fun was extracted
