BRADMAN HAS ANOTHER 'DUCK.'

AUSTRALIANS' RECOVERY. t United Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 11.40 a.m.) LONDON, May 24. In the cricket match against Australia, Hampshire continued their innings at Southampton! in fine weather on a good wicket. With the addition of 19 runs tho last wicket fell, the score being 420. Vigorous hatting by Lord Tennyson was the feature of the closing stages of the Hampshire innings, which lasted for 345 'minutes. Lord Tennyson batted for 95 minutes, and hit ten fours. Chipperfield bowled well to-day, spinning both ways. A large crowd, in brilliant weather, saw a sensational start to Australia's first innings. Woodfull tapped tho amateur fast bowler, Baring, for a single, and then, in the first oyer, Brown was caught behind the wickets.

Kennedy bowled a maiden to Woodfull, and then Baring, keeping an excellent length, got Bradman's wicket, Mead holding a good catch at first slip. This is Bradman's second "duck" ol ,tli3 tour. He returned to the pavilion grinning broadly. The amazed crowd was still murmuring with excitement when McCabe joined Woodfull. The third wicket fell at 10, within 25 minutes of the opening. Woodfull, reaching forward, played a slower ball from Baring, and cocked it up to Baring, who ran down the pitch and caught it easily.

At this stage Baring's figures were three for '6.

McCabe was nearly caught and twice narrowly missed being run out, but he and Darling hit bravely. After luncheon McCabe and Darling handled the bowlers with ease and 100 runs appeared in 90 minutes. Darling's 50 occupied am hour. McCabe then' lifted Baring for six. McCabe's 50 took 90 minutes. Both the batsmen were punishing Baring, who was taken off. The batsmen then hammered Kennedy and Lowndes with equal ferocity, Darling hooking the latter into the pavilion. But when four short of the century he tried to repeat the stroke and played ever it, ending a courageous aggressive innings of 105 minutes. He hit one six and 14 fours. Baring returned and dismissed McCabe in his first over. McCabe batted 145 minutes, hitting a six and seven fours. Despite his lack of practice, Kippax batted beautifully. Bromley, after a shaky start, settled down to sound batting. Kippax was caught in the slips just before tea. ChippeFfield and Oldfield saved a foliow-on r then Chipperfield began driving, powerfully hitting a. six oft Boyes. The partnership was worth 79 beforo Oldfield was bowled. Chipperfield, cutting and driving with complete disdain for all the bowlers, raced toward his century.

O'Reilly hit Bo'yes for two successive sixers, raising 400 after 280 minU Chipperfield's splendid 100 had taken only 95 minutes. The ninth wicket added GB, then Hampshire's total was passed.
