Can cricket afford an amateur category?

London, Aug. 27.

The MCC have announced the names of the winter tour party for India and Pakistan. The fact that those of Peter May and Colin Cow- drey were not among them stressed the problem of the amateur in cricket, for each had said that he wouldn't be available for selection. May, who sells insurance, told me as long ago as last October that he might have to "ease quietly down with the cricket" and "try to keep in touch more with the business side." Similar but stronger pres- sures have just deprived first-class cricket entirely of the services of Subba Row.

Kansas City, Aug. 27. Two home runs contributed to an 8-7 New York Yankee victory today over the Kansas City Athletics before a record crowd of 34,067. But the home run kings, Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris, went hitless. Yogi Berra's 18th homer, scoring the walking Mantle and Maris ahead of him in the fourth inning, was the big blow.
