2 5 6 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J u l y 7 , 1 9 1 0 . CR ICKET IN AM ER ICA . An experiment which will be unique, at least in American cricket, is to be tried by the Associated Cricket Clubs of Philadelphia this season. Having discovered that an intermediate competition on Saturday after­ noons did not work out as successfully as had been anticipated, the Associated Cricket Clubs Cup competition has been withdrawn from the Saturday schedule and the matches will now be played on Wednesdays. A radical change, however, has been ma'le in the general scheme as to the division of time, and is as follows : — “ Each match is to commencc at 2.30 and play is to continue until eeven. The side winning the toss bats first and bats for two hours and ten minutes. An interval of ten minutes is to be allowed between the innings, and then the second side has two hours and ten minutes in which to bat. Should the first side be diminished before the time limit, the other side is to be permitted to go on batting. In the event of the second side being dismissed before 6.20, the time will again be equally divided up between the two teams. Each side is to be permitted to play one professional.” We believe this scheme has been tried with considerable success in country house cricket in England and there is no reason to suppose that it will be a failure here. On the contrary, we believe that it will be quite a success. From an American point of view, the chief objection to cricket has always been its slowness. There should be nothing slow or dull about this competition. The potter­ ing latsmau will have to stir his stumps; there will be no incentive for him to play for his average, and a slow scoring side will be at a considerable disadvantage when opposed to a fast scoring set of batsmen. It is obvious that the faster ruus can be scored in the given time, so much better will it be for the team. The novelty of the scheme should appeal greatly to cricketers, and it will be surprising, indeed, if it does not prove very popular. As eight teams have entered, there will be plenty of opportunity to give the com­ petition a thorough trial. The clubs entered are Germantown, Belmont, Merion, Phi'a- delphia. Pilgrims, Frankford-M<>orestown, Haverford-Radnor and West Philadelphia. — The American Cricketer. CORRESPONDENCE . [The Editor does not hold himselj responsible for thi opinions ofhis correspondents .] A NOTE. To the Editor of C rick et . D eae S ib ,— A note in ‘ ‘ Pavilion Gossip ” in your issue of June 23rd refers to a very fine per­ formance of a member of the East Finchley Club, viz., H. D. Smith, an excellent cricketer on a good side. It would appear to have been made against Hornsey C.C., implying the first strength of that club ; as a matter of fact it was against a considerably weakened (and two short) second eleven of Hornsey that the performance was registered. With apologies for troubling you in the matter, I am, Sir, Yours faithfully, GEO. W. HAMMOND, 27 th June, 1910. H o b n se y C.C. HERTFORDSHIRE v. M.C.C. AND GROUND.
