SPEEDING UP CRICKET
A CHRISTCHURCH SUGGESTION Dominion Special. Christchurch, December 1. At the meeting of the Canterbury Cricket Association last night Mr. W. R. Patrick made a suggestion to speed up the competition matches. He proposed that the draw be made out right at the commencement of the season and that uo more than two Saturdays should be devoted- to any one match. Tlie effect of this would be that if the first Saturday were wet one team or the other would have to speed up the following Saturday in order to obtain a definite result. Failing a first innings’ win by either side, the game would be drawn and each side awarded one point’. On the other hand, plav on the first Saturday would no doubt be brighter, as the teams would go for all they were worth, not knowing what the second Saturday would be in regard to the weather. This and other' new proposals will be discussed at a special general meeting of the association on December 14.
