THE VANISHING AMATEUR,

MR. A. E. R. GILLIGAN'S

ALARM.

London, Jan. 15.

A prophecy that there will soon be no amateurs in county cricket was made yesterday by Mr. A. E. R. Gilligan, the old England' cap- tuin.

He said he spoke "with alarm" of the gradual disappearance of the amateur, and stated that it was be-. coming increasingly dificult for amateurs to spare time to play dur Ing the whole season.

Unless things changed for the better, in 10 years' time the ama- tear would disappear from county cricket altogether.

The coming cricket season, said Mr. Gilligan, would. be extremely, interesting. Don Bradman, who had rightly earned the name of 'the Australian Hobbs," might be a "thorn in our flesh," in view of his receat magnificent Test perfor

Tuances.

Mr. Gilligan spoke at the Old Woodfordiana* Club dianer, at which he was the guest of honour, at the Waldorf Hotel, London. Mr. Mr. F. N. Downing was in the chair.
