(Received Feb. 15, 10.30 p.m.). . ■ SYDNEY, Fee, 15. ■ T'he ticket covered when rain fell this morning, was in. splendid order for the resumption, but t'he English wickets fell quickly. Lush, the viml'ul young fast bowler, made figures i—three wickets for seven runs. • IVhqn Duckworth was caught behind in the first over, Hardstaff joined Lcyland, but when 9, swung Chilvcrs, the slow bowler, into the./hands of Robinson at square leg, four wickets being down for 43 runs. . e Two more, wickets fell without addition. Leyland, trying to turn ;.i straight ball, was bowled by Lush and. alter a scoreless nine minutes, Am.es played over a good delivery, hush then had 5 for 18. Chilvers, who was accurate, bad belli Robins .and Sims smartly stump od by Oldfield and Fames caugit at deep mid-off. Lush, whose pace had slackened, howled Wyatt, ending the last wicket partnership. England were dismissed by lunch alter 113 minutes for a Paltry "3 runs. Lush had excellent control (f length and direction to-day. while Cliilvers howled five successive maiden’s and finished with the remarkable figures of lour lor two runs. Sonic of the English hatting appeared lethargic and the tad was weak.

The New South Wales second innings commenced poorly, Beattie and Hynes, who had been promoted, in batting order, both going in Flames’ second over. but McGabe and Fingleton put up a sterling third wicket partnership and got on top of the bowling. McCabe - began carelessly, but settled down to play attractively. Exploiting the pull shot freely, he rac--1 ed ahead of Fimglcton and reached ;, Go in 77 minuts before tea, when the : : score- was 108, McCabe being 50 and i Fingleton 44. ij Fingleton livened up, but. when

STALE AND. LISTLESS MA OA ETNE Y ON VIS H ORS (U.l’.A. bv Elec. Tel Copyright). (Received Feb. 1.6. 12.25) a-m.) SYDNED, F’eb. 25. C. G. Macartney comments: ’‘The collapse of the Englishmen was the outcome -of purposeless batting, winch revealed that their mind was net concentrated on the job in hand. It would be absurd to say that Ohilvers was so difficult that only two runs could be scored from him. No attempt was made |o attack the bowling. The Engishmeu’s innings was thus unenterprising and disappointing. 'Robins, for instance, made a present -of his wicket to the bowler Hardstaff had a magnificent chance to enjoy much-needed practice, but his work was careless' and uninspirng- Leyland, Ames- and Wyatt, however, were all bowled by good balls. New South Whales occupied a strong position at the end oL the M.C.C. innings, after which Fingleton and McCabe further consolidated it. The former is' in great form for 1 the final test. McCabe made many polished drives and executed his notorious hook deftly. A sizeable innings by McCabe is always worth ’ witnessing. Thu Englishmen fielded without snap and with evident .staleness. 'Lush bowled enterprisingly and changed his pace cleverly. lie spun the ball occasionally, all the time retaining good direction and a reasonable length-

. PLENTY OF! LIFEOPENING DAY OF M.C.C.-N.S.W. MATCH HOBBS’ SUMMARY HOMESTERS RETRIEVE BAD START TRIBUTE TO FARNES’ BOWLING U.P.A. by Elec 'I el. Copyright) SYDNEY, Feb. 14. There was -plenty of life in the wicket for the gains between Nciv South Wales and Marylebone, so that the bowlers!. could make anything short lift considerably, even for - a time after lunch. In the circumstances it was- not a- disadvantage for Robins to Jose tiro to-ss.

Chipperfield started making strokes at once-—line, -square cuts ail'd late drives-. He played the proper game on Saturday afternon, slinging his bat at tho hall. The only blemish to this refreshing display was a-cut over the -slips’ heads. Jackson’s innings was even better than C-hippe-nfield’s because he made lie- desperate shots. He showed equal ability on each side of tine wicket, and seemed to have all the strokes. Watching Jack-son brought hack to mind that brilliant cricketer of tho same name, tho late Archie Jackson, whom I so much -admired and whoso first-class debut j saw -here.

Lush, though: also getting a good score, was not quite so convincing a-s Jackson- He showed a (particular liking for the drive, mere of a push but with, plenty of power behind St. It is curious that the wicket-seemed to- recover immediately alter Chipperfield !bad gone, but this was, perhaps more marked because- the last bowlers hesitated to bowl any more -shortballs.

Hynes looked worth more than, his valuable 3b until be misjudged a flighty one from Sims. The New -South Wales final score of 231 was- good when tbd bad start is- considered. S'im-s- nnished up l wit-li-the most most impressive bowling figures, but I think the chief credit should go to- Fames, who gave England a -start and unsettled Now South Wales-.

'The fielding was not up to Test standard, but- X cannot blame t-lie' Englishmen for relaxing a- bit. They serrieed to get more pleasure- out of the cricket than in'the 'Test. In. any case it was a good day’s work to- get a. strong side like Now South Wales out in. loss than four hours.

LOCAL COMPETITIONS A further series- of matches in the senior A grade cricket- competition was commenced on Saturday, and a round in the B grade was completed, in somewhat wintry conditions 1 . Batting honors for the day went to PDow, who scored exactly 100 not out when stumps were drawn. G. Slade performed the hat trick.
