FLAY ABANDONED
RAIN CUTS SHORT MATCH WITH YORKSHIRE ENGLISH CAPTAINCY DISPUTED LONDON, Tuesday. The cricket match Australia v. Yorkshire was abandoned today owing to continued rain at Sheffield. The selection of A. P. P. Chapman as captain of the Marylebone team to play against the Australian cricketers on May 17, 19, and 20. does not find unanimous approval among the critics, who foresee therein his selection as test match captain. Lord Harris was asked whether, in the event of an amateur being unfitted for the captaincy of England by virtue of his playing form, he would counsel the selection of a professional. Pie replied that in such an inconceivable contingency, of course, a professional would be captain. Lyons, of Somerset, replaces Franklin in the Marylebone team.
