THE NEW CRICKET TEST SELECTORS.

A COMPLETE CHANGE WITH P. F. WARNER AS CHAIRMAN.

To Serve Two Years.

At the Cricket Board of Control meeting at Lord's the following were appointed to serve on the sub-com- mitten to select England's Test

teain':--

P. F. Warner (chairman). T. Perrin (Essex).

T. A. Higson (Lancashire). The committee has been entirely econstituted, bus perhaps this is, not altogether surprising (writes a correspondent).

Last year Mr. H. D. G. Leveson- Gower, Mr. J. C. White and Mr. F. T. Mann were the selectors.

Out of these two at any rate are busy men of business, and the duties of the committee in these days are extremely exacting.

The New Chairman. Both Mr. Warner and Mr. Perrin and served before. Mr. Warner has captained Middlesex, and England against Australia. He will have 1.equalled opportunity of watching the form of the best players.

He has been a Rugby League enthusiast since the distant daya which he was abló "to scrape suif- ficient ponnies together" to criniile him to woo his favourite exponenta of the pastime in action.

He recalled those happy days at the luncheon given by the Council of the Rugby League in connection with the Rugby League final, the third to be played at the Wembley Stadium, between York and Hali- fax on May 2.

Mr. Clynes also paid a graceful tribute to the professional footbal

or by declaring that his remunera- tion was not commensurate with the pleasure he gives to thousanda af aportators. Mr. Clymes and in mind the nccomplished footballer of the type of McCutcheon, the Rugby League star, who was the hero of his youthful days.

Amid laughter, Mr. Clynes' anid that in bis opinion Cabinet Minis ters,, na compared with firal-rate. footballers, were paid too highly for their services to the public.

Room for Both.

Mr. Clynes warmly contended. that there was ample room for both the Rugby League and Rugby Un- ion games, though both might have their limitations. Football, he anid, was a national Institution, and England set the finest sport- ing standards in the world, and we should ask ourselves what life would be without sport.

Mr. F. Hutchins, of Oldham, who presided, emphasized that the Rugby League was not out to con vort the Rugby Union. They wore alaging the final at Wembley there was not a ground big enough in the North to accommodate all who wished to see the finnl.
