New South Wales’ Score SMALL LEAD SECURED Weather Stops Play By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright (Rec. November 23, 5.5 p.m.) Sydney, November 23. Interest in the New South WalesWest Indies match was keen, 12,000 watching the resumption of play on a good wicket, but a boisterous southerly made conditions unpleasant and played tricks with the bowling. The game was full of incident and delighted the onlookers, whose numbers after lunch rose to 25,000. Kippax went without adding to his overnight score, and Constantine had notched two for 9 runs. Bradman and McCabe carried on steadily till another 34 runs were on the board, then the Mosman boy fell to Constantine. Jackson joined Bradman and they added 30, then Francis earned his side’s gratitude by bringing about Bradman’s dismissal. Allsopp played a good innings until run out sensationally immediately after lunch, Grant by a quick return throwing his wicket down. Oldfield gave a nice exhibition, but got a dose of his own medicine when he stepped out, and missed one from Scott. Roach and Martin began the Indians’ second strike. The former hit freely and knocked up 20, then, essaying to repeat a boundary stroke, turned the ball into his wicket. His partner In the meantime scored only a single in twenty minutes. - Headley succeeded and delighted the crowd with fine placings. At 46 Martin went, having taken 65 minutes to compile four. Headley and Birkett made 7 each, then the latter returned to the pavilion. Grant came in, but after his partner had notched a single an appeal against the weather was upheld and play was stopped.
