NO ACTION BY THE M.C.C. AGAINST COUNTIES WHO FIDDLE WITH POINTS

New System Of Scoring Indicated

The M.C.C. have been consider. ing recent county cricket matches in which no offort was made by one side to get the other out in order not to lesson their percent. ago in the championship table. They have come to the conclusion that there is no action they can tako, says an English writer.

They are now endeavouring to And in new method of deciding the championship whereby such inci- dents would be avoided. One aug Ication-an old one-in that all counties should play the same nuai ber of matches and the championship be decided on the football tengue system of two points for a win and one for a draw.

This would not necessarily mean that each county would play all the others,

which would entall 32

games each, but if, for example, 28 Was the number decided on there

These are the four players who won the First Interport for Hongkong against Shanghai on Saturday by the narrow margin of 18-17. The Second Interport will be played to-morrow and the Anal match on Saturday. Being already one leg up, Hongkong should have a great chance of winning the nerles,

A SOLUTION

One solution of the question, as it concerns Middlesex, would be fur the M.C.C. to discontinue some of their minor matches at Lord's and

ve Middlesex the dates that would thus became vacant.

For instance, the three inter- service matches of two days each cquid well be played at Portsmouth, Aldershot or Devonport, where they would undoubtedly command bigger gates than they now do at head- quarters.

This would give Middlesex two more matches at Lord's, and not only would they benefit Anuncially but so would the M.C.C.
