FIRST INNINGS LEAD

Australian Cricket Team OPPONENTS FOLLOW ON (Received Sept. 12, 1.20 a.m.) London, ''September 11. For the second day of the cricket match at Scarborough between the Australian tourists and Mr. H. D. Leveson Gower’s eleven yesterday, the weather was fine aud the wicket had the appearance of being good. Australia’s innings yielded 489, and' Leveson Gower’s Eleven, in reply, made 223, Nichols top-scoring with 75. Fleet-wood-Smith took his 100th wicket in first-class matches on the tour. To-day, 'when play was resumed in fine weather with a good wicket, Leve-son-Gower’s Eleven followed on and at lunch had lost three wickets for 116. Another big enthusiastic crowd was present when the match was resumed yesterday. Faroes in his first two overs dismissed McCabe and Chipperfield. Oldfield and Ebeling batted briskly. The Innings closed with the total at 489, made In 350 minutes. Faroes’s figures to-day were 8.3 overs, 4 maidens, 19 runs, 4 wickets. . Sutcliffe and Wyatt opened with extreme caution for Leveson Gower’s Eleven. The total was only 12 when Wyatt lost his leg stump. Just afterward Sutcliffe drove a ball straight to Bradman at mid-off and ran. Leyland, however, refused to respond, and a smart return saw Sutcliffe run out. Hendren failed to see out the same over, and at his dismissal the score was 20 for three wickets. Human batted brightly, but both Leyland and Nichols were dropped early In their innings. Leyland’s was a very poor effort Nichols reached his half-century in 90 minutes, and after that he and Townsend hit valiantly. Their partnership was worth 99 in 66 minutes, when O’Reilly, who had been recalled, dismissed Nichols with the first ball of the change. Nictols’s score included a six and 13 fours. O’Reilly in his next over sent' back Townsend. The remaining batsmen offered little resistance, Fleetwood-Smith ending the Innings, which had occupied 210 minutes, by bowling Bowes. It was this which completed his 100 wickets for the tour. . , Details: — AUSTRALIA. First innings 4SII LEVESON GOWER’S ELEVEN. . First Innings. Wyatt, b.
