AVOIDING A STALEMATE. CAREFUL DEFINITION WANTED. 'United Prest, Association —By Electric Telegrapu Copyright.) —United Service). Received 9.45 cum. .to-day. LONDON, Jan. 10. “Great cairo must be.taken as tto the actual wording of conditions for the next tests, otherwise stalemate ma.y result,” says “Sporting Life.” “As-, suming that England or Australia won I two matches and the other side one, I With one drawn when the foufth gaime was completed, whether the fifth is or is not played to a finish, there would be a ] risk of the sides finishing ail sqanire. It is important to clearly define what the word “advantage” means. Presumably, in the event of one country leading the fifth test would be confined to four days, but in those four aJ definite result might be reached and the team which started the game, down might finish with a win. The meagre particulars at present revealed do. not suggest that satisfactory precautions have been taken to avoid a stalemate.”
