ANOTHER SWEEPING VICTORY CAMBRIDGE BEATEN BY AN INNINGS Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, May 11. (Received May 12, at 10.5 a.m.) Australia defeated Cambridge University by an innings and 103 runs. Players outnumbered spectators when play was resumed in brilliant weather. M'Cabe, who last night appeared to have influenza symptoms, was unexpectedly able to field to-day: Dinwiddy and Khan were soon out, but Cox and Davies scored freely from Wall. This ninth wicket partnership proved so difficult to break that Grimmett was called on, though it was originally not intended to bowl him to-day. Cox and Davies rapidly added 46 runs before Ebeling uprooted Davies’s middle stump. The last wicket added 43. Cox was unconquered, making the top score for University. He played an enterprising innings, batting for 75 minutes, and hitting nine fours. The Australia fielding, with the exception of that of Bradman and Brown, compared poorly with Cambridge’s speed, dash, and brilliant picking up. Details:—• AUSTRALIA.
