ARMSTRONG INTERVIEWED
RETIRING FROM FIRST-CLASS CRICKET. /
(UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION.- —COFIRIQHT.) (AUSTRALIAN - NEW ZRALAX9 CABLt ASSOCIATION.) LONDON, 30th September. Armstrong, interviewed prior to embarking on the Balmoral Castle, announced his intention of retiring from first-claes cricket upon his arrival in Anstralia. He considered English cricket inferior to the pre-war standard, but did not see any reason why it could not be restored in two or three years. England had plenty of material, and the only question was as to its development and selection. The Australians' visit had done good. It had given English cricketers something to think about. He declared that in ths recent Manchester interview he had not the slight' est idea of attacking professionals, than whom there was nobody he loved more, for some of them were his best friends. The argument was not levelled against professionals, but against any players who, owing to natural tendency and deliberate intention, did not piay the game best calculated to bring success to their side.
