CLUB CLUB CRICKET

War Situation Does Not Permit Usual County Schedule

Golf Championships And Motor Racing Suspended

LONDON, May.—Ono offect of the war may be that spectators deprived of their county cham- pionship games may turn to watching Club cric- kot, which promises to be played on a big scalo, and it is possible that the spectators so drawn may remain watching Club games after the war is over.

The high standard of play in Club cricket is rarely recognised. Most people look on English cricket as an affair of counties with a few Club's playing somewhere out of the usual line of vision, but these week-end games provide bright play and quick results in comparison to the sometimes dull play of the three-day county matches.

The position is not compara-

ble to that of Australia, where

the mainstay of the game is the Nurmi Sees Club programme in which all the leading players take part. A player makes his name with a' Club before he is noticed for selection by his State for in- clusion in the Sheffield Shield matches.

4-Minute Mile

In England, the county. It-thel Club, and cly members of county Cluba ever see first class cricket, One of the most serious objections to the English plan is that, big. honours only co to those who can devote virtually the whole of the summer to cricket, and the number of young men in that position is decreasing.
