FUTURE TEST MATCHES.
FRAMING NEW CONDITIONS. VIEW OF ENGLISH CRITIC. United Service. LONDON, Jan. 10. "Croat care must be taken in the actual wording of tho conditions for the next series of cricket test matches, otherwise a stalemate may result," says Sporting Life. " Assuming that England or Australia won two matches, and the other side one, with one drawn when the fourth game was completed, whether tho fifth is or is not played to a finish there would bo a risk of tho sides finishing all square. " It is important to define clearly what the word ' advantage' means. Presumably in the event of one country leading the fifth game would be confined to four clays, but in those four a definite result might be reached and the team which started, ono game down would finish with a win. Tho meagro particulars at present revealed do not suggest that satisfactory precautions have been taken to avoid a stalemate."
