CHIPPERFIELD.

"THE SPARE ACE." Unanimous Tribute of the British Press. PERSONALITY OF GRIMMETT. fUalted P.A.—Electric Telegraph—Copyright) (Received 11 a.m.) LONDON, June 10. The newspapers universally pay tribute to Chipperfield, "the man Australia nearly left behind," and point out that the Australians always have a spare ace up their sleeved. Tlie "Observer" editorial says though Bradman did not come oft', and the Test looks like crawling towards a draw, the match ought affectionately to be remembered for the success of the two youngsters Chipperfield and Fames in gaining honours in their first Test.

C. B. Fry, in the "Evening Standard," laments that England was unable to ram homo its wonderful fifth-wicket advantage. They were short of one bowler. Clark would have been the man, and would probably have had the Australians all out under 200 runs.

The "Sunday Times" says the match already has given a lesson to those who under-rate the Australians' all-round strength. "We have seen their fighting spirit and power of recovery, seen that Grimmett is still to be dreaded on English wickets, and that above all he has personality. Rhodes used to play on the batsman's patience. Grimmett, like Spofforth, plays on his nerves."'
