CRICKETER’S POSITION
MIDDLESEX AMATEUR The possibility ot J. H. Human, the Middlesex amateur cricketer, gaining a place in the New South Wales’ team this season recalls that Frank Tarrant, the noted- Anglo-Australian, was responsible for a new county competition rule back in 1908, says an Australian writer. Prior to that a cricketer could dodge the winter, as Jim Phillips did. flitting from Australia to England and
playing almost continuously. Tarrant returned to Australia on the same boat as A. O. Jones’ English side. He played for Vic- | toria against them, j making 159, and in j a shield match j scored 20G in Syd- ! ncy. He was in j the'middle of the | former innings i when a cablegram announced that it had been decided that no one could re-
present two counties within the same calendar year, and a Dominion or State was considered a county. The penalty is two years' disqualification. As Human did not play for Middlesex this year he does not come under the rule, but if he represents New South Wales after the turn of the year he will be ineligible for county cricket (if any) in 1940, should he go home.
