ARMSTRONG'S GREAT CENTURY

(UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION.—COPIRIQHT.)

(Received January 19, 10 a.m.) SYDNEY, This Day. The Herald says that no title is more appropriate than a "see-saw game," with the plank tilting in favour of Australia. The Test is a. very keen struggle between bat and ball, with the bat just holding the mastery. It was an interesting'day in a- remarkable match. The Telegraph says Armstrong's century ranks among the great deeds of a great career. He has done nothing finer. To take hold of the game at such a juncture and retire only when he had routed all his foes is worthy of inscription on the treasured annals of the gamp. The greatest praise is also due to Kelleway. whose innings, after an initial mistake, was blameless. (Received January 19, 11.50 a.m.) . SYDNEY, This Day.

Both Kelleway and Armstrong batted throughout for safety, realising how much hung upon their stand at a■■ critical juncture. Further, they went better. They batted, but—always' with a prudent trend towards the safer side.
