A CHANGE OF TIME.–For the remainder of the season, all match-games are to be called at 2, P.M., instead of three o’clock; the latter hour not affording sufficient time to play a closely-contested match to the last inning. Three hours and a half has been the average of games this season, several contests occupying four hours and over in playing. Had the last match between the Mutual and Atlantic Clubs been commenced at 2, P.M., we question whether any trouble would have arisen. [Some of the Atlantics had attempted to stall out the ninth inning after the Mutuals took the lead.]
