DURHAM DEFEATED

EASY VICTORY FOR AUSTRALIA

MACARTNEY IN FORM WITH THE BALL. (Received 11th June, 11 a.m.) LONDON, 10th June. The match between the Australians and Durham was completed at Sunderland to-day, the visitors winning, by an innings and 81 runs. The weather was changeable, and the wicket drying un'-" der the influence of a good wind, after rain overnight and this morning, delaying a start until after lunch. '. The attendance was about 3000. ' „i When the Australian batsmen, re-" sumed, Andrews again forced the page, r but when the board showed 270 runs he was easily stumped as a result of jumping out to Cook. He had batted Jar. five minutes over two hours,, and .liit one six and seventeen fours. ■ "IJhe bowling was not difficult, and Barclsley was sound, cutting strongly, and, dis!:! playing excellent judgment in "tijning hit five fours. Collins decided ,vto declare when the score stood at; 322 for the loss of three wickets. ; Durham made a bad start, but after! the early dismissal of Ferens, Weight, and Kinch made something of a;stand, scoring mostly 'off Richardson, until the total score stood at 32, when Hineh, in attempting to drive, was completly beaten. Richardson was always 'diffi:. cult, but unlucky. Carr played dashingly, and lashed out at everything r rattling up his 35 runs in ten minutes,, his total including two sixes,' three fours, and a single off Grimmett'in two overs. He was well held at the-boun-d»ry by Taylor. Weight was sound, and careful. Macartney was most' successful in the attack, bowling excellently, and varying his balls well. The fielding was very smart. / • The following are the detailedscores: — ' • AUSTRALIA. ,! ! First Innings.
