THREE CENTURIANS.
LEYLAND, AMES AND BROWN.
FASTER SCORING IN TEST AT LORD'S.
AUSTRALIA HURRIES TO CATCH ENGLAND'S 440
If Australia (192 for two wickets) is to make any impression upon England (440) in the second cricket Test at Lord's, the youthful champions Brown and McCabe will require to give their side an example to-day in the way-of faster scoring; although the rate of run-getting was accelerated on Saturday, 337 runs going up for the day compared with 293 on Friday. And what a wonderful feast of cricket for those lucky enough to be present at the headquarters of the game—three centuries topped in one day by Leyland, Ames and Brown. The last-named, and Bradman during his short stay, rattled on runs with the object of securing a possible lead quick enough to make England fight in the later stages of to-day's play.
Woodfull, Australia's captain, failed for the third time to negotiate fast bowling, which has now accounted for his downfall in 15 out of his last 22 innings in the international arena. Wall did some fine fast bowling, sending down 49 overs for 1 08 runs and four wickets.
