Meeting TO Consider
Cricket Protest
By William Unnack

special meeting of the cricket asso-
ciation has been called for Friday night
TO consider the protest Of the Golden
Gate team against the Barbarians. II
is an admitted fact that the game In
question did not start on time, and there
have been very few, il any, games
started punctually.
A strong point for the defense OF the
Barbarians is the fact that not one
word about the time of starting was
uttered by any one. and no protest
Of any description was placed in the
hands of the umpires before the start
of the game. The game, therefore, was
played under usual conditions, a little
late, without protest at the time OF
start, which was the proper time to
enter such protest.
Again the Golden Gates were wrong
70 have started the game IL they con-
sidered they had a grievance. They
should have refused TO play, claimed
the game under the rules of the asso-
citation and then notified the governing
body.
Opinion as to the outcome OF the pro-
test is somewhat divided. but the gen.
eral feeling among the majority OF the
cricketers is that the protest will not
be upheld by the association.
