THE MATCH AT SYDNEY. VISITORS MAKE 469. (.rsiTr.D r?.E?' »s*oriATios—>v electric TEI.IGE vth—corrsiGEl. (Received November 25th. 10.30 p.m.) SYDNEY, November 25. In a great partnership yielding 269 runs. Woolley and Turnbull gave a delightful exhibition in the cricket match M.C.C. v. New South Wales. The NewSouth Wales bowling lacked variety, and Woolley scored all round the wicket. Turnbull, however, was very restrained, choosing only loose balls to score from. Upon attaining 100 he was smartly caught by Bradman off his own bowling. Worthington met a similar fate, being smartly taken by Hooker, but Woolley went on to double his century. This is'his sixth century on the Sydney Cricket Ground, and his biggest total made in Australia. A hard chance to the wicket-keeper. Allsopp, who was substituting for Oldfield, was his only blemish. Rain caused short adjournments. Woolley's long innings came to an end shortly after tea. He was batting for 4 hours 4 minutes. He hit twenty-four fours. Fairfax secured two wickets with successive balls. Two appeals by the same bowler for leg before against Barratt of the next two balls were, however, disallowed. Legge batted attractively before spooning a ball up to square-leg. Bowlev is still unfit to play. The New South Wales fielding was ragged. Fairfax and Jackson batted steadily until the seventh appeal against the light was successful. England's innings closed with a total of 469. New South Wales had scored 46 without loss when stumps were drawn. The scores were as follows: NEW SOUTH WALES. First Innings.
