THE AUSTRALIAN ELEVEN.

MATCH AT GLASGOW. PLAT UNDER WET CONDITIONS, (wtk> raws AsaocJATiojr—w bliot*io ■ntLBOBAPH COPYRIGHT.) (Received July 20th, 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, July 19. Rain delayed the start of the Australian match at Glasgow, interrupted play during the afternoon, and caused stumps to be drawn early, with the score: West Scotland six wickets down for 140. A crowd of 3000 braved the weather to witness the match, and to see Bradman, who enlivened the game by three times throwing down the wicket from long-on, but tne batsmen skated into their creases. Then McTavish es» sayed a mighty hit and Bradman jumped and caught the greasy ball near the fence, as if taking a football mark. Scores.*' —

HOBBS OFFERS TO STAND DOWN. (Received July 20th, 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, July 10. England's Fourth Test team will be: A. P. F. Chapman K. S. Dulecpsinhji E. U. V. Robins. I. A. R. Peebles J. B. Hobbs H. Sutcliffa W. R. Hammond M. W, Tate M. Leyland j (3. Duckworth M. S. Nichols E. Hendren (twelfth man). Behind the announcement of the English team lies a dramatic episode of cricket history, says the "Weekly Dispatch. " During a meeting of selectors, of which he himself is a member, Hobbs intimated that he was so dissatirfled with his form against the Australians at Lord's and at Les<iß> that be wou'd prefer to stand down for the fourth Te3t. He was also of the opinion that at present he was out of luck, adding that he was the last man to wish to retain a place unless able to justify the selectors' confidence. His colleagues, in acknowledging the spirit of the offer, insisted on his playing in what may bp the decisive match. THREE NEW BOWLERS. COMMENTS ON THE TEAM, (Received July 20th, 8.5 p.m.) LONDON, Jnly 10,

Obviously burping on the idea that spin bowlers can subdue Bradman, and that this accounts for the substitution of Robins and Peebles for Tyldesley and Geary in the list, despite the fact that Bradman is invariably severe on both amateurs, Cotton,writing in the "Evening Standard," says: "Nichols needs less nursing than Larwood; indeed, the three new bowlers inspire fresh hope. It is the best side yet chosen. Robins and Peebles will confront the Australians with something to which they aro unaccustomed- Robins should not have been omitted at Leeds, because he virtually won the first Test."

A YOUNG PLATER. PEEBLES'S EARLIER CAREER. (Received July §oth, 5.5 p.m.) London! July 10, The "Daily Di'p'tch" oointa otit that lan Peebles's career reads like a boy's school story. Seven years age he was playing Saturday matches for Glasgow Academy, Wamer discovered his abilities, and he joined the Jf&rylebone Club, Ha revered the order of things, making his name in country cricket before going to the University. Be once took thirteen Cambridge wickets. He also showed great premise in South Africa. Peebles is only twenty-two, like Bradman, whom, he has been included to get out.

APPEALS AGAINST THE LIGHT. WHAT J, B, HOBBS SATS, (Seeelvefl July 90th 5.0 p,in,) LONPQN, July IP. In an article to the "Paily Dispatch," J. B. Hobbs saysi "Appeals against the light have started an orgy of newspaper abuse, most of which is transparent nonsense, It" may be a playex's duty to bis side to appeal. The cases at L§e<Js which are finder criticism could not be called frivolous, as the umpires upheld them." Hobbs, also refutes the newspaper writer?' attacks or the competence and impartiality of the umpires. BATTING AND BOWLING. (Beceived July 20th, 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, July 19.
