DONNELLY ACCLAIMED WORLD’S REST LEFT-HANDER
(Rec. 11.35 a.m.) LONDON, July 18, Cricket writers laud Donnelly’s t 162 not out against Players. The n ' ‘Daily Telegraph’ says: “It was one of the classic innings of mod- > r ern cricket history. Donnelly, in a short time, has come to be accepted universally as comparable . with the left-handers Woolley and Clem Hill.” The • Daily Mail ’ says: “ Donnelly is the world’s best lefthander. No field could be set for him. As soon as one gap was K closed he found another. He hit fast and slow bowlers to every cor- ; ner of the field.” [Donnelly’s score was made in the first innings, of the match >■, Gentlemen v. Players, in which Gentlemen made 302 (Donnelly ; not out 162, Edrich 79; Butler four for 91). Players in their first ■ innings had lost two wickets for 67.] • . /'
