CRICKET.

AMATEUR PROFESSIONAL.
LONDON, Jan. 247 Lord Hawke, presiding at the annual meeting of the Yorkshire Cricket Club refered to the question of amateurs versus professionals. He said that many southern folk considered the amateurs were the backbone of English cricket, but lie considered it would be a direct insult to the public if a man was selected lor liis amateur status alone. Lord Hawke held strongIv to the view that it was the duty of every country 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 Committee that was to choose the team for the forth-t----coming Australian tour.
