THE GAME OF CRICKET.
j LORD HAWXE'S ADVICE. LONDON, January 25. » Lord Hawke, presiding at the annual ' meeting of the Yorkshire Cricket Club, 2 referred to the question of amateurs v. professionals. He said many southern folk considered amateurs were the backbone of English cricket, but he considered it would be a direct insult to the public if a man was selected for his amateur status alone. Lord Hawke held strongly to the view that it was the duty of every county to select the best men available , and the most intelligent captain, capable of getting the best out of his side. He ] commended this to the Selection Com- ; inittee which was to choose the team for J the forthcoming Australian tour. — (A. * and N.Z. Cable.) t
