CRICKET.
ARMSTRONG’S RETIREMENT. FROM FIRST-CLASS CRICKET. By Telegraph.—Press Assn. —Copyright. London, Sept. 30. Armstrong, interviewed prior to the embarkation of the Australian cricketers on board the Balmoral Castle for South Africa, announced his intention of retiring from first-class cricket upon arrival in Australia. He considered English cricket inferior to the pre-war standard, but saw no reason why it should not oe restored in two- or three years. England had plenty of material, and it was only a question of development and selection. Their visit had done good. It had given English cricketers something to think about. Armstrong declared that in the recent Manchester interview he had not the slightest idea of attacking professionals. There was nobody he loved more. Some were his best friends. His argument was not levelled against professionals,
but against any players who, owing to natural tendency or deliberate intention, did not play the game best calculated to bring success to their side.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn. . .
