Abandonment Of Local League Suggested

Matches Outstanding
Difficulties Through Training
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE to pretend that the pre- sent Cricket Season has been a success, and it is. rather doubtful if the atrocious weather has been entirely to blame. Military duties are very heavy in many cases and have complicated the, fixture lists, and the rain has rather put the hat on things):
But should there be a League_next season I venture to suggest to the participants that the principal reason for playing League matches after the new year was that the training period was in October-December. Now that there are two training periods, one before and one after the New Year, the only good reason for this goes,
Cricket always gets a bit lackadaisical here after Febru- ary, and my advice is to start off the League Matches as soon as possible after the third week in October.
Of course a much better idea twould be to scrap the league until happler times.
None of the batsmen who two or three years ago looked so promis- Ing have come on indeed they have most of them gone back. I don't know why is, unless it li possibly lack of practice or possibly the fact that they are trying to play too many games at once.
Bowling: Collared

TUIE game started with a surprise, as Pudrey, who previously has shown no particular form, bawled a perfect length and secured Logan, Ratcliffe and Alec Pearce cheaply, as they only got: 19 runs between thom.
AU was beaten by a steadier player. In stroke-play, there was little to choose between them, though Au in the closing points was erratle scomingly played out.
