BEST MEN ONLY
AMATEURS OR NOT. LORD HAWKE’S VIEWS. Australian and N.Z Cable Association LONDON, January 24. Lord Hawke, presiding at the annual meeting of the Yorkshire Cricket Club, referred to the question of amateurs versus professionals, and said that many southern folk considered that amateurs were the backbone of English cricket, but he considered that it would be a direct insult to the public if a man was selected for his amateur status only. / He strongly held the view that it was the duty or every county to select the best available men, and the most intelligent captain capable of getting the best out of his side. He commended this to the selection committee that would choose the team for the forthcoming Australian tour.
