ENGLAND'S GREAT 1911-12 TEST

TRIUMPH IN AUSTRALIA

FOUR MATCHES WON AFTER LOSING

THE FIRST ·

J.W.H.T. DOUGLAS AS CAPTAIN

(By R. Abbit)

Since the publication of my last article a friend of mine, who has a very fine cricket library which makes me break the Tenth Commandment every time I think of it, has kindly lent me a copy of the 1913 Wisden. It seems that the volume, was that of Wisden's Jubilee as the almanac was first published in 1874. I might state for the benefit of those humorously minded that I unfortunately omitted to buy a copy of the first number.

On paper the Australians seemed to Australia again batted on a plumb have, a tremendously strong side as pitch and the disaster was worse of the new-comers very great things than before. This time F.

Court

London, Nov. 24. A problem has been Intely submit- ted to the Council of the L.T.A. deal- Ing with the "stray bali." It was solved follows.

"Any stationary object lying on the surface of the court shall be deemed to be part of such surface: but it the ball in play strikes an object moving along or above the surface of the court, a let must be allowed."

The "stationary object" to which the first part of this ruling reters is nearly always a ball. If a player is sufficiently caretess and regardless of his own Interests, or lazy enough to leave a ball lying about in his court, he must take the consequences of the ball in play hitting it.

If a return of his opponent's does hit it, he is allowed by Rule 20 to return the ball in play, if he can succeed in so doing. Needless to say it is infrequent indeed that success fattende his effort to do so, for a bali hitting another ball on the ground is apt to behave in an un- accountable manner.

There might, of course, be other objects lying about on the surface of the court, such as an empty ball box fallen from the umpire's chair. Under the ruling given, the player would presumably have to play his shot out of the ball box, unless he elected to claim that he was hindered In making his stroke by something not within his control, for an empty box can hardly be considered as permanent fixture of the court, when it is detached from 1s perch of the umpire's chair,
