SCOTTISH CRICKET TO SUFFER?
Another Manchester Test May Be Arranged
A
PRECEDENT WILL NOT BE ESTABLISHED
(By AIR MAIL)
(Special To "China 'Mail")
Glasgow, July 11. MESSAGE from Manchester this afternoon says that a very strong feeling is abroad that an extra Test match should be played to compensate for the loss of the third Test at Old Trafford, In which there was again no play to-day..
Followers of cricket in Lancashire are asking why, if there is no play to-morrow, the Australians cannot cancel their games against Scotland at Dundee on August 4 and 5, against Scotland at Glasgow, on August 6, and against Durham on August 8, and begin another Test on August 5..
SCOTTISH VIEW OF THE
SUGGESTION
When told by the "Evening Dis patch of the suggestion that the Australiana should abandon their Scottish tour to enable other Test Match to be fitted into their programme, G. L. D. Hole the Edinburgh Academical and Scotland cricketer, who is - imme- diate past president of the Scottish cricket Union, said that he did not see how, this step could be taken by the Australians.
"The Scottish games are almost mation of contrast," he said, "and if such a situation · should arise it would be extremely seri- ous. If we have any luck with the weather, these, Australian games are practically our only source of income."
