MODERATE SCORE

Australians at Bristol COUNTY DOES BETTER Hammond in Form By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright, London, August 25. On the second day of the match at Bristol between Australia and Gloucestershire the. 10,000 people present saw Ponsford and Jackson make a very cau tious start. The wicket enabled the bowlers to turn the ball. Jackson batted an hour for 8 before he was bowled. Gloucester’s total was passed without further loss. Bradman was more restrained than usual. Ponsford carried his total past the half-century, but Kippax, McCabe, and Richardson all failed against the good bowling of Parker, Goddard, and Sinfield. At one stage four wickets fell for the addition of 2 runs.

Gloucester batted again in the presence of over 17,000, on whom the gates were closed. Sinfield left at 21, but Dipper and Hammond defied the bowling. The latter was responsible for the county quickly wiping off its deficit. Hammond, playing his best innings against Australia this season, reached his fifty in fifty-five minutes, including ten 4’s. He then lifted Grimmett for a terrific 6.

When stumps were drawn Gloucester was 62 ahead with seven wickets intact. GLOUCESTER OUT FOR 202 Five Wickets to Hornibrook (Rec. August 27, 1.30 a.m.) London, August 26.
