THE WIDTH OF CRICKET BATS.
It seems, says Truth, as if cricketers on all hands have determined that the regulation with regard to the width of bats shall be strictly adhered to. Prior to their innings against Lord Sheffield's eleven, the weapons ot the Australians were tested by the 4|-inch guage, and in most instances they had to be planed down in order to pass through it Several of the principal local and suburban clubs have issued notices to their opponents that they will exercise a rigid scrutiny in this matter; so that it seems as if a slight, though longstanding cricket abuse were at last to be rectified.
