SOLUTION PROPOSED BY
LORD JESSEL.
I
COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIP.
ALL TO PLAY 28 GAMES.
London, Nov. 28. The scheme prepared for the Ad- visory County Cricket Committee requiring every county to play ex-{ actly twenty-eight matches during the coming season, thus making unnecessary, was percentages adopted at a meeting of the Com- mitteo held at Lord's to-day.
No fewer than four différent systems have been tried by the M.C.C. since the war, and none have proved entirely satisfactory, the system obtaining last season having had a life of less than two
years.
The exact recommendation of the sub-committee, which has been adopted in its entirety was in the following terms:
E
In 1929, every county competing in the Championship shall arrange 28 matches and 28 only against other competing countien. Per- centages will be abolished on points awarded as follows:-
For a win outright: 8 points. For a match finished with scores
equal: 4 points each. For n win on the first innings:
5 points.
For team losing on Arst innings:
• 3 points.
.
For an unfinished match with scores equal on the first in- ninga: 4 points each.
For an unfinished match with no result on the first innings, no play at all: 4 points each.
