CRICKET TEST MATCH

INDIANS BOWL WELL ENGLAND’S MODERATE TOTAL’ [by cable—press assn.—copyright.] LONDON, June 25. A crowd of 24,000 people at the Lords’ ground saw a strong English ■side give a disappointing display against the visitors’ fast bowling in the first Anglo-Indian test match that has ever been played. England lost Sutcliffe, Holmes and Woolley within half an hour for only ,19 runs. The sorry position was retrieved by Jardine, the captain, who played a splendid innings. He gave a model exhibition for two and threequarter hours. Paynter was again disappointing. Had the solid, fast bowling of Amar Sing and Mohammed Nissar been supported by safer Indian fielding, England would not have approached even 200 runs. As it was, England scored 259 runs in their first innings, Mahommed Nissar took five wickets for 93. Bad light stopped play. Scores:—

TENNIS CHAMPIONSHIPS LATEST FROM WIMBLEDON LONDON, June 25. Their Majesties arrived early at Wimbledon and stayed late, and they were rapturously received. They saw the super-showman, Borotra, defeated by the youthful Spanish champibn Maier. ' . F. A. Shields was compelled to fight to the bitter end against Manzel. Crawford’s defeat of Olliff and Perry’s victory over America’s noted doubles player, Allison, afforded but little index of what is likely to happen to Crawford v(hen he faces Perry, who to-day won rather; easily, and he . is certainly a tough proposition. There • >vas nothing in Olliff’s strategy really to put Crawford to the test. The fourth round of the men’s singles results were: — Perry beat Allison 6/4, 6/1, 4/6, 6/2. Wood defeated Mangin 6/1, 9/7, 6/3. Shields beat Manziel 6/4, 6/4, 10/12, 6/4. Qrawfordr beat 'Olliff 6/3, 6/4, 3/6, 6/1.
