results of last season's work at their annual Novombor meeting at Lord's today. The Advisory County Committee decidad to abandon the proposed knockout Cup competition. Reasons for shelving yet again a Cricket Cup are that no practical solution has been found for the "rain-ruined and drawn matches" and that difficulties abound in fitting in such a competition with the present County Championship. Also doubts exist as to whether a knockout Cup competition would be a financial success.
