CRICKET TEST.

t I; AUSTRALIA GETS 566. j h f, BradinaiTs- Prodigious Score of j] J 334 Runs. ] ( ENGLAND FIVE FOB. 212. ] ' J I ] I (United P.A.—Electric Telegraph—Copyright) j I LOXL'OX. July 13. When stumps were drawn on Fri-j dav in the third Test match at Head-; Jingley, Leeds, between the An,-; ' tralian cricketers and England, the I : visitors had made 458 for three h J wickets, of which Bradman had made 1 1 ! 309 not out. The visitors yesterday , I took their score to 566, of which Brad- j i [man made 334. England had made j: 212 for live wickets when stumps were j t drawn. j - When play was resumed there were , ; 2U.D00 spectators, the chief question dis-T [cussed by whom was how many more h I records Bradman might break. j : Bradman had a great reception when j" l he came out with McCabe. who gave an - early indication, be intended to go for runs. Bradman, too, soon got busy, hit- , tin? Tate for three successive fours. " MMeCabe punished Larwood with many], • jbig hits. He was eventually clean-r t bowled. He hit six fours. Wliile he | . -lasts he is a most brilliant batsman, but j" -he is always in such a hurry that it is I, -not surprising that he gets only r moderate scores. L Richardson was out in a similar > fashion to Jackson. He tried to oni: - drive and gave Larwood an easy catch 1 at forwanfshort leg. Thus two wickets:: 5 fell in the first half hour. Bradman went on splendidly _ and | ! raised 500 in 385 minutes, to which he , had contributed 330. When he had made 3 33-4 he tried a late cut off Tate. Duck--3 worth took a smart catch, which closed i a magnificent inning , -, which had lasted \ 355 minutes. He had hit 4.6 fours, six threes, and 26 twos. The sixth wicket .. fell at 50S. Bradman was vociferously | I applauded as he walked out. ! i Four wickets fell within an hour. Old-!., r field skied a bail above the covers and j j i Eobbs took a well-judged eatdi.|, : 1 a,'Beckett was partnered with Gru:i-i t j inert. a'Beckett was caught an mid-oif | by Chapman after shaping creditably in j •_ his first English Test match. ; Grimmett hit Tyldesley for two sue-1 cessive sixes, one causing an injury Co j a. woman spectator. He should have been; ' J i run out, but Larwood returned the ball ■' : ' i to the wrong end. j j Wall attempted to hit a leg-break t ! from Tyidesiey and was clean bow led J , One run later Grimmett tried to turn| ( Tyldesley to leg and was smartly | caught at the wicket. The innings of 5(36 had occupied 430 minutes, ending at 12.40 p.m. Chapman. ? after consulting with Hobbs. ordered : that the heavy" roller be used on the pitch during the 25 minutes' interval.! = The English opening batsmen, Hobbs i ' and Sut cliff e. went in to bat in cool and I 5 ! overcast weather. There were 30.000 - spectators present:. ': Hobbs stole many singles oil a'Beckett . ~!and Suteliffe showed a. partiality tori, , \Vall, who was bowling a good lengtn. L J The pair at luncheon had reduced the j ' I deficiency by 17. 13 The batsmen took no risks when J' i Grimmett bowled after luncheon, especi-I'. ally as the fieldsmen were close in. - Several maidens were bowled by both!' Grimmett and Wall. The duels between ! . Grimmett with his googlies and Hobbs and Sutciiife were full of interest. Grim- '' niett was in deadly form and Hobbs , twice went down on his knees in at- I 5 tempting to sweep the bail to the ' boundary. Hornibrook replaced Wall with 50 on j the board in S5 minutes. Then an un- , usual incident happened. a'Beckett at , silly mid-on took a catch from Hobbs . near the ground. Hobbs was surprised, , and referred to the square-leg umpire. , who signalled him out. A minute ] i elapsed before Hobbs left the wicket. , ] apparently disgusted. The umpire at ■ L . the bowlers end had not decided the ] appeal, because a'Beckett had dived ?or , the ball away from him and spoiled ai-|, I view of" the incident. a'Beekett no ■ '■ doubt took the bail before it had reached | : the ground. H His face ail smiles. Sutcliffe was soon ' "' afterwards badly beaten by Grimmett s - leg break and Hornibrook made a neati 1 , catch at first slip. Thus two of Engt land's best men had gone for G4 runs, y 3 Hammond played Hornibrook comfortably, but was shaky facing Grimmett., f Duleepsinhji opened with his usual j j fireworks, but he was wary of Horni- -, brook's in-swinging balls. A dashing innings ended when Hornibrook got his . middle stump. \ Hammond and Leyland batted quietly. England was in a sorry position at tea f time, needing 2SO runs to avoid the j . I follow on. Leyland hit a sixer after • t tea and a'Beckett was applauded for ; several pieces of smart fielding. Grim- ( mett made the bail break in various ways and caused anxious moments. • 3 neither batsman being able to get on to j i the ball. " ; H Leyland was hitting freely at time:- | I 1 Then he got another sixer off Grimmett gland Hammond gave occasional glimpses i of his old form. ' The score was 200 : n j i 230 minutes. McCabe, using the new i bail, was unlucky not to get Hammond • in his first over, when he had made ,12.1 ' Old field dropping a catch. Wall immedi--5 ately afterwards dismissed Leyland. I who" mishit the ball into Kippax's hands !at backward point. The partnership s had put on S3 runs in 95 minutes. Leyi land'had hit two sixers and three fours. 1 Geary had several narrow escapes; and finally was run out, after a smart | return by Wall. Duckworth played out ' j the remaining ten minutes, cleverly j ; allowing Hammond to get the bowling.! i Scores:— AUSTRALIA.—First Innings. I Woodlull, b Hammond 50 !

BIG INDIVIDUAL SCORES. Bradman's individual effort in this match may be gauged from comparison with former big individual scores in the list of Test matches, taking into account the fact that only once before has a score of 200 runs been made in a Te=t match in England, the other largo totals being got on the hard Melds of Australia.

"Indeed it looks as though* only rain will save Engianii. whose the remaining wickets must make 2u4 vu:« to a , .-.-id following on. The pii:<:h, which is showing signs of wear will probably be difficult on Monday. The ■'Sunday Express' , gives prominence to the question "was Hobbs out:" and publishes a photograph showing a'Beckett somersaulting as he held the ball. Sir Edwin Stockton, chairman or the Manchester Cricket Club, said de saw the incident, and declares it was a clean catch. £1000 FOR BRADMAN. PRAISE AND BIG EEWABD. LOXDOX, July 1.1 \ wealthy Australian merchant, Mr. Arthur Whkelaw, telegraphed to Let-.j-yesterday stating that- he intends to give [')•":< Bradman £1000 in token or" !:is .■Kimiration of the youn.2 batsman's wonderful performance ia the third Test match. Bradman received a telegram telliiitr him of Mr. Whitelaw's offer while he was on the Meld. Mr. W. L. Kelly, manager of the Australian team, replied '■'.) Mr. Whitelaw asking him to accept deepest gratitude on the batsman's behalf. Commenting on the match in a leading article entitled "Bradman versus England," the ■■Times'' says: ■•Bradman pulverised the English bowling by a display of batsmanship which for ease of iicoring, combined with absolute security, was beyond all criticism." Mr. P. F. Warner says: "To call Bradman a run-getting machine is a poor compliment, for it implies that his runs are ground out, whereas he makes his runs smoothly and naturally with the mark of genius. Xever was 'here a batsman who. match after match, claimed such a huge proportion of vnr.-. This young Australian is equal to any batsman." The "Daily Telegraph' , says: i; W e ask ourselves again what are the infiuen-vs which -o toward the breeding of sivh fine cricketers as Australia has, irA who have returned to dazzle us with their mastery? Bradman dominated the p'ay as no one ever before has dominated Test cricket.'' There probably will be a panicky demand for new bowlers in the attempt to stop the Australian runaway, but Bradman is in such form that it'is impossible to imagine any bowler worrying him. " WHAT AN EYE!" SYDNEY, July 13. The- people of Australia are thrilled by Don Brad.nan's marvellous batting against the best bowlers in the world. Mr. M. A. Vibie remarks: "What an eye this boy batting wonder must have. He is more than a cricket genius. He is uncanny."
