YORKSHIRE CRICKET
LORD HAWKE AND CAPTAINCY By Cable. —Press Association. — Copyright. LONDON, Monday. Although Lord Hawke, the president of the Yorkshire Club, describes as rubbish the report that Sutcliffe was asked to captain the team, it Is known, however, that '.he county selection committee began negotiations with Sutcliffe early last season, and it is expected that tieir recommendation that he be captain will come before the meeting of the Yorkshire County Committee on November 2, when the reconstitution of the team will be considered.
Sutcliffe was promised a benefit in 3929, but he will lose this if he becomes an amateur. Hobbs refused to treat the question seriously. He said: “Sutcliffe to captain Yorkshire! Don’t make me laugh. You 1-mow what Lord Hawke said about professional captains.”—A. and X.Z.
