EIGHT-BALL-OVER EXPERIMENT NOW CLARIFIED

No Objection To It Being Made In Club Cricket

By Willow

London, Apr. 26. The question of the eight-ball-over experiment has now been fully clarified by the M.C.C., 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.
