CRICKET.
LORD HARRIS’ REPLY. TO ARMSTRONG’S CRITICISM. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright, London, Oct. 10. Lord Harris, speaking at a dinner commeunorating the Middlesex victory in the championship, repudiated Armstrong’s criticism of English professionals. He said there was no difference between an amateur and a profesl s-onal except that the latter had been compelled to make cricket his profession, and the I fornier had not. Armstrong’s distinction was erroneous, and was attributable to profound and conceited ignorance. He had had certain business reia- , t;ons with Armstrong, from whom te understood there was a great deal of betting on English cricket, which affected the gaune. The
leading betting club denied tnat; the fact was, what Armstrong knew about English cricket was worth nothing.
