AUSTRALIA WINS BY SEVEN WICKETS. q > ENGLAND'S REMARKABLE EFFORT. CHAPMAN SCORES 121. {CSIT£3> F&K33 ASSOCIATION—B*/ ELECTRIC TELEOEAPH— COPYRIGHT.) LONDON, July 1. Batting for England in the second Tdst match, Chapman and Allfcn bad many anxious mounts. The captain took 40 minutes to reach double figures. The pair then went for the runs, and 200 appeared in 195 minutes, 11 from one of Wall's overs. Chipman made several miss-hits, but continued to hit freely. With a four to log Allen reached 50 in 80 minutes, and the same stroke made the partnership worth 100. In the same over Chapman pulled Grimraett without effort for six, and reached 50. At lunch only 43 runs were required to save an inrings defeat. After lunch Grunmett got Allen leg before. The batsman received a welldeserved ovation. There were eight fours in his total, and the partnership had put On 125. Tate joined Chapman, who continued tq sCoro boundaries, and reached his highest Test tbtal. Three hundred came up in 280 minutes, and a four to Chapman, wiped off the deficit. Two more sixes to Chapman sent the crowd wild with excitement, is the captain reached a hurricane century m 140 minutes. , ... Tate, attempting a big hit, gave Grimmett his siith wicket, Ponsford tafemg a good catch on the boundary. Chapman continued his forcing taoties, but his gteitt innings ended wlion he was snapped up by Oldfield. Though he Was rtussed before lid had_ scored lie had placed a magnificent innings for 156 minutes, including four sixes and 12 fcrats. The Australian fielding was deplorable. many runs being given away. White was unnecessarily run out; and, Duckworth being disposed of for the onlv duck of the match, the innings ended at 3.25 p.m. for 375 runs. England's innings for 375 runs teas a remarkable effort considering the side's indifferent start. When the Australians went in Woodfull played his customary dogged game for 15 minutes before he scored. Ponsford meanwhile having made 13, Woodfull banged Robins hard and low to Duleepsinhji at mid-on, but the catbh was dropped. , The next ball shattered Ponsford's wicket. Bradman scored one off the first ball, but in the next over he was brilliantly XJ caught at point. The crowd roai'ed with surprise and delight. , Kippax had also scored onlv on® when he flicked Robins to Hammond, in the slip 9. but the chance was missed. He was only three, however, when he fell a victim to Duckworth, and McCabe saved the situation. Robins and Tate were very dangerous on the worn wicket. Woodfull had a narrow escape from being stumped when 11. Fiftv was raised in an hour, ana the batsmen then attacked the bowling. Thirteen came from one over, off Robon®. McCabe. glancing the ball tq the leg boimdnrv, mm''* tl»® winning h't at five o'clock with 90 minutes to Bpare. The crowd rushed the ground and carried W«vdfull shoulder high to the pavilion. The Australians were cheered when +bev appeared on the balconv, and Chapman also received an ovation. Scores:— ENGLAND. First Innings. J. B. Hobbs, o Oldfield, b Fairfax 1 F. E.

Chapman is the first English captain to scoro a century in a Test since the Hon. l'\ S. Jackson, 25 years ago. Jackson scored 144 not out against Australia at Leeds, and 113 at Manchester in 1905, in each instance in England's first innings. ENGLAND DIED GAMELY. WHAT MACLAREN SAYS. (Received July 2nd, 7 p.m.) LONDON, July 2. Mr A. C. Maclaren says: "England died gamely. Doubtless Larwood and Suteliffe will make a very big difference when they return. I feel sure that there will be different scoring cards at Leeds, but Australia played a better gamo than we did, Grimmett is tho man England must defeat." MORE COMMENT ON THE MATCH. HIGH PRAISE FOR THE AUSTRALIANS. (Received July 2nd, 8.20 p.m.) LONDON, July 2. In his comments on the match, Mr P. F. Warner says: "Aastralia deserved its success, but there is no need for pessimism in regard to England's chances for tho ivbber. The two countries seem to be f»lrlj; evenly matched. One thing is certain, the four days' Test has come to stay." Mr M. L. Lyon, writing m the "Daily Telegraph," says:—"'The selectors must in future include two spin bowlers instead of one. In the meantime let us share in the joy of the great sporting captain. Woodfull, in his woll-earned success. Other Press comment is couched in tho highest praise of the Australians' great patting side, Grimmett's and Bradman's triumphs and the many thrills which the game provided to both sides of the world. CHAPMAN'S COMMENT. (Received July 2nd, 7 p.m.) LONDON, July 1. Commenting on the match, A. P. F. Chapman said that it was a magnificent game. The Australians thoroughly deserved to win, as their great batsmanship turned the scales. "Wo will live to fight again at Leeds," he concluded.

THE ATTENDANCE. (Received July 2nd, 7 p.m.) LONDON, July 1. The Australian Press Association says that the attendance at the Test match was 115,000. ENGLAND'S NEXT TEST TEAM. DRASTIC CHANGES CONTEMPLATED. (Received July 2nd, 7 p.m.) LONDON, July 2. The "Daily Herald" says: "It is understood that even before stumps were drawn the English selectors began a prolonged inquest upon the defeat. Chapman and Hobbs last night had a good deal to say, and as a result, drastic changes are already contemplated. Woolley, Allen, and probably Robins and White will be replaced." The "Daily Express" asks: "Will not the Selection Committee give consideration to Dick Tyldesloy, C. Parker, W. Voce, T. W. Goddard, and M. S. Nichols?" MATCH AGAINST YORKSHIRE.
