B. A. BARNETT COMES OFF WITH UNDEFEATED 120
London, May 24.
Surrey to-day earned the distinction of being the first county to hold the Australian cricketers to a draw in the present tour without the help of the weather. Nevertheless, it was because the tourists delayed their declaration in their second innings that Surrey were able to hold them.

EIGHT-BALL-OVER EXPERIMENT NOW CLARIFIED
No Objection To It Being
Made In Club Cricket:
By Willow
London, Apr. ZG. The question of the eight-ball-over experiment has now been fully clarified by the M.CC, who point out that there is no objec- tion to the experiment being made in club cricket this season, or in 1939. This ruling is subject to the proviso that any such trials in the case of clubs affiliated to the Club Cricket Conference, associa- tions, or leagues, be carried out only subject to the regulations of these bodies.
