AN EVEN DRAW

AUSTRALIA v. SOUTH OF ENGLAND JENNINGS TOPS THE 1000. By Telegraph.— Pres« Association.— Copyright. (Received September 12, 10.37 a.m.) LONDON, 11th September. The Australia-South of England match was drawn. Cold and cheerless weather prevailed when play was resumed on a fast wicket and before an attendance numbering 1500. Gregory, who was suffering from a chill, was absent. M'Laren and Hazlitt disposed of six of the , home side by 2.50 o'clock, when Chaplin "declared." M'Laren wao especially destructive. The batting generally was lively, 100 going up in ninety-five minutes. Barrett played a splendid and chanceless innings for 50, made in 120 minutes. His .score included five 4's. Vine showed good form for 28. Bardsley's catch that disposed of Chaplin was a brilliant effort, the fieldsman taking a low falling ball at long off. The Australians were left with 206 to get to win in 110 minutes. Chaplin kept wickets in place of Tufnell, who injured a. finger. Runs came fast, 100 being posted after seventy-five minutes' play. Jennings, who got 56, played stylish cricket, driving well, especially on the leg side. His score, which included one 6 and seven 4's, was made in seventy minutes. Jennings reached 50 in sixty-two minutes, and in this match has topped the 1000 mark. Macartney's inning 3 was marred by a chance to Chaplin off Hobbs before he had scored. Minnett showed good form, and played sound cricket. Details are as follow:— SOUTH OF ENGLAND. First innings 420 Second Innings. Simms, c Carkeek, b M'Laren ... 4 Woolley, b M'Laren ...
