Received Wednesday, 7.55 p.m. LONDON, May 29. The new British Amhassador to Washington, Lorcl Inverchapel, start- 0 lecl English cricketing circles when he declarecl: "Cricket is the dullest game ever invented. I prefer baseball." Informed of this, "Pluni" Warner said: "The nian is talking balderdash. Where was he educated?" When an interviewer said ' ' privately — not at a public school, ' ' | Warner replied: "That explains it." j Warner added: "I think the Brij tish Ambassador might consid-sr ! British sporting as well as diplo- | matic interests. Anyway any knight I who has just become a l'ord might do j well to ponder over his elevation by i watching cricket at Lords before sayI ing he prefers the Ameriean variety I of romiders."
