Hammond and Leyland batted quietly. England was in a sorry position at tea, needing 280 to avoid a.follow-on. t.eyland hit a sixer after tea, and a Beckett was applauded for several pieces of smart fielding. Grimmett made the ball perform all sorts of contortions and caused anxious moments, neither batsman being able to connect with the ball. Leyland was hitting freely at times. Then he got another sixer off Grimmett, and Hammond gavo occasional glimpses of his old form. Two hundred were registered on the board in 230 minutes.

McCabe, using a new ball, was unlucky not to get Hammond in his first over, when he was 52, Oldfield dropping a catch. Wall immediately afterwards dismissed Leyland, who miss-hit into Kippax's hands at backward point. The partnership realised 83 in 05 minutes. Leyland hit two sisors and three fours.

Geary had several narrow escapes and finally was run oat after a smart return by WalL

Duckworth played out the remaining ten minutes, cleverly allowing Hammond to get the strike. The receipts at Leeds total £2928. Scores:—

BRADMAN'S DOMINANCE.

WHAT THE CRITICS SAY.

(Received July 13th, 5£ p.m.)

LONDON, July 12.

"The Times," in a leader headed "Bradman versus England' * says:— "He pulverised the English bowling by a display of batsmanahip, which for ease*of scoring combined with absolute security was beyond all criticism." Mr P. F. Warner says:—"To call Bradman a run-getting machine is a poor compliment, for it implies that the runs are ground out, where«g he makes his runs smoothly and naturally with, the mark of genius. Never was there a batsman who, match after match, claimed such a huge proportion of the runs. This young Australian is equal to any batsman."

The Australian Press Association writes:—"There will probably be a panicky demand for new bowlers in an attempt to stop the Australian runaway, but Bradman is in such form that it is impossible to imagine anyone worrying him." The "Daily Telegraph" says:—"We ask ourselves again what are the influences which go towards breeding such fine cricketers as Australia has, and who have returned to dazzle us with their mastery. Bradman dominated the play as no one ever before dominated Test cricket."

BOY BATTING WONDER.

AUSTRALIA IS THRILLED.

(Received July 13th, 5.5 p.m.)

SYDNEY, July 13,

Australia is thrilled from end to end by Bradman's marvellous batting against the best bowlers in the world. M. A. Noble remarks in the "Sun": "What an eye this boy batting wonder must have. He is more than a cricket genius, he is uncanny." GIFT OF £IOOO TO BRADMAN. OFFER FROM AUSTRALIAN MERCHANT. (Received July 13th, 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, July 12. A wealthy Australian merchant, Mr Arthur Whitelaw, of Fleming and Whitelaw, has telegraphed to Leeds that he is giving Bradman £IOOO m token of his admiration for Bradman's wonderful performance in the third Test. Bradman received the telegram relating to Mr Whitelaw's offer while he was on the field. Mr Kelly, the manager, replied: ''Kindly accept deepest gratitude," on his behalf. Mr Whitelaw is an Australian merchant -in London.

BRADMAN'S RECORDS. Some of Bradman'a records are as follows: Highest score by an Australian in a Test match, namely 334 runs. World's record score of 452, not out, in a first-class match Only Australian to score 1000 runs in May on English wickets. Youngest player in the world to score 400, or more, in a first-class match. Highest aggregate (1690 rune) made in a season in Australian first-class cricket. Two highest aggregates for Australians in Australia in first-class cricket. The only Australian to wore a century in one innings and a double century in the next innings, in the same day in a first-class match. With Fairfax, holds Australian fifth wicket record in a Test match. Highest individual scoro in a Test match, 334 runs. EARNINGS OF BIG CRICKETERS.

THE AUSTRALIANS IN BUSINESS. It pays to play cricket. The players themselves will be the first to admit this (states the Sydney "Daily Guardian")- But it was not always the lucrative employment it is to-day, nor did it offer other profitable channels of adding grist to the mill. The pro-war period teems with dozens of examples of international men who, having sacrificed their future positions in life to the tinselled glamour of the garao, finished their days in barren comfort . . . and in some cases poverty. But to-day ability in cricket offers—well, let us see.

Three years ago Bradman was an auctioneer's clerk at BowraL Possibly his salary was £3 a week. To-day his oarnings in pounds" must considerably exceed his highest score. He holds a responsible position with Mick Simmons, Ltd., of Sydney, and also receives a royalty from the English firm that manufacture Sykes' bats. Kippax was a grocer's assistant at Bondi until a few years ago, when he opened a sports depot in Martin Place, Sydney.- Business grew so rapidly that to-day he is tho head of one of the most flourishing sporting businesses in Sydney. Oldfield was a clerk in the railways at possibly not more than £7 a week. To-day, with C. G. Macartney, he is the owner of the prosperous sporting business in Hunter street, Sydney.

Jackson went straight from school to Kippax, but the sporting department of Anthony Hordern and Sons, Ltd., Sydney, now pays highly for his services. Fairfax was looking for a job as an electrical salesman when Murdochs, Ltd., in Park street, Sydney, saw his value from an advertising point of view. Pre-war cricketers were not nearly so fortunate, although several of them have to thank cricket for the opulence they now enjoy. Warwick Armstrong was a clerk in the employ, of the Melbourne Cricket Club. The admiring head of a big whisky firm, while tho Australian team was on tour, appointed him head of the business in Australia at a big salary. C. G. Macartney was a clerk up at the railway on an ordinary salary. He received a testimonial of £2700, part of which he invested in his sporting business. In addition he contributes to English and Australian newspapers. All these players owe their position directly to. their ability to play the game of cricket. It is to their credit that they have displayed a similar ability to hold down their positions.
