CRICKET PROBLEM OF 1940/41 START OF THE
Volunteer League May Stumble Over Question Of Grounds
(By "Tinker")
ON SEPTEMBER 1, in most Clubs, cricket nots go up for the first time of a new season, except that this year there are indications that a League. will not be possiblo. · This, however, does not de- tract from the prospects, for with most mon now mord closely affiliated to Volunteer Units than to Clubs, inter-Unit matchos should be a fairly fre- quent feature,
The prospects of a Volunteer League, as suggested by a contemporary some weeks ago, is a more ambitious scheme, and is one that, with the co-operation of Clubs, should be quite workable and very enjoyable.
But to me there appear one;
or two flies in the ointment.
First of these, and it in the big-Home Cricket
gest, is the question of grounds.
It is not advocated that the or-
dinary Club fixtures should bej abandoned in
favour of the
