Third Day Of County Cricket -Could Be Made Popular By Single

Wicket

Matches

London,

Here is an idea for making the third day of county cricket matches popular and, therefore, profitable-revive single wicket matches. The suggestion comes in a letter from P. C. Clarke, of Richmond, Surrey.

He writes **

an early finish sliduld be followed by single-wicket contests, the winner to be found from the best 16 of each county on kübek-out principles, and the individual county champions to meet arqund the time of the festival games.

The crowd would get their extra entertainment without both teams having to hang around.

They are two of the biggest names in postwar soccer. Both were in the Second Division when League football was resumed after the war. Newcastle gained pro- motion within two seasons of the resumption.

Tottenham had to wait a further two years. But when they did arrive in the First Division the lads from White Hart Lane certainly made their presence felt. In their first season they won the Champlarship.
