CRICKET PROBLEM OF 1940/41

Volunteer League May Stumble Over Question Of Grounds

(By "Tinker"}

ON SEPTEMBER 1, in most Clubs, cricket nots go up for the first time of a now season, excopt that this year there are indications that a League will not be possible. This, however, does not de- tract from the prospects, for with most mon now more closely affiliated to Volunteer Units than to Clubs; inter-Unit matches should be a fairly fro- quent featuro.

The prospects of a Volunteer League, as suggested by a contemporary some weeks ago, is a more ambitious scheme, and is one that, with the co-operation of Clubs, should be quite workable and very enjoyable.

But to me there appear one

or two flies in the ointment.

First of these, and it in the big Home Cricket

dinary Club fixtures should be in favour of the
