For the second year in succession the Triangular Contest in Bombay between the Hindus, Parsis and Presidency has been seriously interfered with by rain. In 1S09 the first match was finished, the Parsis beating the Hindus by four wickets, but last month it was not found possible to complete either game. In 1907, the first year in which it was held, the Triangular Contest was won by the Parsis, and in the following year by the Presidency. 1 s t M a tch .— HINDUS v. PARSIS. Played at Bombay on September 16 and 17 and left drawn, there being little cricket possible on the first day on account of rain. An endeavour was mla.de to prevail on the sides to continue the game on the Sunday, in the hope of arriving at a definite result, but the Hindus could not see their way to agree to the proposed extension. The feature of the match was the second innings of Meherhomji, who hit a ball from Oghad over the Gymkhana pavilion and claimed 51 of the first 73 runs scored by his side.

THE GLOUCESTERSHIRE COUNTY C.C. At a meeting of the Gloucestershire County C.C. held in Bristol on Thursday last, it was stated that the financial position was worse than at the start of the season. The exact position could not be determined until replies had been received with regard to the out­ standing subscriptions, amounting to over £100. It was decided to have another Bristol Week, the opposing counties being Lancashire and Hampshire. The Committee decided to support the Yorkshire scheme for counting points in the County Championship provisionally on the winning side scoring all three points and in the event of a draw the side that leads on the first innings scoring two of the three points.

A knold .—(a) It could not be ob­ tained through our usual agents, and there­ fore its publication has been postponed until next season. (6) It is not necessary for a professional to be a member of the M.C.C. ground-staff in order to be chosen for a representative match. Hayes, Strudwick, Hayward, Hobbs, Abel and Bichardson are a few instances, (c) We consider the players you named to be on the fringe of the England team. B kuce 13. G ordon .—Pressure on space does not permit the publication of your letter and the newspaper extract which accompanied it. Tbe official ruling of the M.C.C. is “ A bats­ man cannot be stumped off a no ball.” Bead this decision in conjunction with Law 23, paying special attention to the words “ if in playing at the ball.” In the case you men­ tion the only possible way in which the striker could be out would be “ stumped,” and from that (according to the decision quoted) he is exempt. A verdict of “ run out ” could not be justified and would not be upheld. E. H ayward .—No player has ever per­ formed the hat-trick twice in an over for Middlesex 2nd XI.
