AN INNINGS VICTORY. GRIMMETT AGAIN DEADLY. (united tress association—est electeic TELEGBAI'H—COPYBICIIT.) LONDON, May 29. By dismissing Oxford University twice for tlio same score, 124, tho Australians scored an easy victory by an innings and 158 runs. This was the visitors' fourth win of nine matches played. University started badly, Wall's first ball shattering Kingsley's wicket. Moore, who lia.s a splendid school record, and tho Indian, tho Nawab of Pataudi, retrieved the position somewhat, 50 appearing after 50 minutes. Grimmett secured his 40th wicket of the tour when he got Moore with the score at 72.

_ Five wickets then fell for tho addition of only 16 runs. Walker achieved two fine sturnpingis. Peebles alone of the others offered any resistance, and Grimmett ended the innings, which lasted 135 minutes. He bowled well throughout, and finished with fine figures.

Oxford followed on at 2.50 p.m., wanting 282 runa to avoid an innings defeat, but throe valuable wickets were lost within an hour for 25 runs. Ford punished Hurwood and Grimmett, and with Melville brought the total to 73. The latter was then dismissed bv a brilliant catch in the slips. Wall "had another success next over, and the fifth wicket fell at 80. Bradman, displacing Grimmett, tempted Garland-Wills to hit, and bowled him the samo over. Then HillWood fell to the most brilliant catch of the tour, Richardson taking the ball almost on the ground with one hand, at deeD mid-off Peebles hit Bradman for six, but McCabe ended the match by taking his first wicket of the tour, when he clean bowled Peebles.
