M.C.C.'S INNINGS WIN

QUEENSLAND MAKE 81

BOWLING IN ASCENDANT

LAEWOOD AND yEEITY

United Press Association—By Electrlo Telograph—Copyright. BBISBANE, 7th February. England defeated tho Queensland cricket eleven by an innings and 61 runs. . ■ Tho weather was fine and warmer, and the wicket remained a batsmen's paradise. England's first innings, which yesterday had yielded 303 runs for eight wickets in reply to Queensland's 201, was continued by Ames (44) and Larwood. A dozen, runs had been added, mostly by Ames, when Larwood was caught by Litster off the Brisbane Grammar School slow boiler, Govan. ■Ames then gave a delightful display of hard hitting. Manoeuvring for the strike, he and Bowes were able to add 37 for the last wicket. ; Ames's eighty took 76 minutes to compile, and included one sik and eleven fours. He was out while attempting to force the pace. Oxenham bowled really. well, but though. Govan took wickets, Gough couia use him little, as ho was too expensive. The aboriginal bowler, Gilbert, who- was considered a possibility for "leg theory" retaliation, was rarely dangerous. Faced with a deficit of 142, Queensland in their second innings began disastrously. Gough was caught first ball off LaTwood, who was sending them down at top speed. At lunch Larwood had taken four wickets for 15 Tuns off four overs. Jardine at third slip, was responsible for two great catches. 'With.' four down f'or^ 33 Queensland was in a hopeless position, and her* batsmen came to an inglorious end soon after resuming, but there were two bright spots. Gamble threw discretion to the winds against Larwood, hitting him for 14, including one hefty drive for 6, off four balls before being caught. Larwood appeared to enjoy the fun as .much as ,the crowd. The other bright spot was-when a cattle dog jumped into the oval and attached himself to Wyatt, who had to lift him : over the fence before play could be resumed. Larwood. bowled with lots of pace, but ■ the left-hander Verity; also impressed greatly. Except for Gamble's purple paten the Queensland batsmen made a dismal showing. The attendance was 4000. The takings for the match totalled £1293 compared with. £979 for the corresponding match of the last tour. Results are as follows:— QUEENSLAND. .
