It has been decided by the Committee of the Warwickshire County Cricket Club to offer the captaincy of the Eleven to Mr. F .R . Foster. Mr. H. J. Goodwin, the late captain, hopes to be able to play occasionally, but he cannot place his services entirely at the disposal of the Committee. Notice has been given that a resolution will be moved at the next meeting of the Advisory Committee urging that it be an agreement among the counties to decide choice of innings in the first match by tossing and to give choice of innings in the return engagement to the side which loses the toss in the first match. The annual meeting of the Club was held in Birmingham on the 1st inst. The accounts showed a deficiency of £434 15s. 5d., and that in two years the subscribers had fallen off in numbers from 2,000 to 1,696. The gate receipts were disappointing, only amounting to £1,486, and less than £400 was realised for Quaife’s benefit. The Committee invite further contributions to raise the latter amount to £500. Mr. G. H. Cartland, who presided, remarked that a kind of apathy seemed to prevail regarding county cricket. He thought this, perhaps, was due to the County Championship not being a real competition, and suggested that play should begin at eleven a.m. and continue until seven p.m. Two-day matches would enable amateurs to play more frequently. The report was adopted, and the Earl of Craven was re-elected president. The hon. secretary, Mr. H. W. Bainbridge, in moving a vote of thanks to the captain, Mr. Goodwin, and the other amateurs who had assisted the team, said the interest shown by amateurs in the game had a great deal to do with the success of county cricket. Kent’s success was largely due to the fact that there was a strong body of amateurs assisting the county. Mr. Bainbridge also favoured some slight alterations in the game. He suggested the wicket should be widened or heightened, or, alternatively, that the width of the bat should be decreased. It would then be more difficult, he said, for indifferent batsmen to make the large scores they frequently did in recent years. It seemed a scandal, he thought, that a match could not be finished in three days, given favourable weather. Drawn matches were satisfactory neither to spectators nor players. Two day matches would be a good thing for counties which were not strong financially. Mr. Bainbridge suggested further that bats­ men should run out every boundary hit, and that the grass in the out-field should be left rough so as to make boundaries more difficult to get. This, be said, would prevent stout and elderly gentlemen continuing so long in county cricket as they had done in the past. Another point was that the public laid too much stress on the fascination of their Jessops and Ranjitsinhjis. The only way to attract the public in the long run was to win matches.
