STALEMATE IN TESTS
CAREFUL RULES NEEDED SPORTING PAPER’S OPINION (United Service) Reed. 9.5 a.m. LONDON, Thursday. “Great care must be taken in the actual wording of the conditions for the next cricket tests, otherwise a stalemate may result,” says “Sporting Life.” “Assuming that England or Australia won two matches, and the other side one, with one game drawn, when the fourth game is completed, whether the fifth is or is not played to a finish, there would be a risk of the sides finishing all square. “It is important clearly to define wha t the word ‘advantage’ means. Presumably, in tho event of one country leading, the fifth test would be confined to four days, but in those four a definite result might be reached and the team which started a game down would finish with a win. The meagre particulars at present known have not ravealed and do not suggest that satisfactory precautions have been taken to avoid a stalemate.”
