Thornton's team thus won by 33 runs and the Scarborough match supplied the second defeat of the Australians in ! this tour. Great excitement prevailed at the finish of the game. The remaining four wickets of the Englishmen's I second innings added 27 to the total, i Oldfield accounting for three,, and Mailey finished with a fine averagei of j 6 for 56. Macdonald took 4 for 51.; , Australia replied with 162, leaving the 1 Englishmen victors by a margin of 33. Woolley bowled finely, securing 5 wickets for 36. Armstrong earned the distinction of the first pair of spectacles of the tour. Heavy rain fell overnight, but the morning was bright and breezy. The wicket was slow, and the attendance 5000. In the first half hour only two runs were added. Mead added five to his overnight score before Oldfield got him off Macdonald. Douglas met the same fate off Mailey after adding a couple. Fender played lively cricket for his dozen. Bardsley and Collins opened the Australian second strike against the bowling of Hitch and Fender. The batsmen were confident, despite bowling changes, and ran quickly to 46. Then I Collins failed to negotiate a full I pitcher. Macartney helped to carry the ; score to 75, when he lost Bardsley, I who was caught at mid-on. Andrews [ was caught at mid-o'ff at 93. Ryder went in the same over, skying one to slips, and Macartney was out five runs later, making Wooiley's average 5 for 20. The century appeared in 105 minutes. Then Armstrong, playing one i from Rhodes to Fender, added a second glass to his pair of specFacles. The simmer of excitement increased when i Taylor played Jupp on at 7 for 120. After lunch the, wicket greatly assistI ed the bowlers, who were frequently I changed. The fielding was keen, but i the batsmen were dogged, making every effort to secure ar draw. Heridry put up a great figHt with his back to I the wall, batting for 80 minutes, He lost Oldfield at 162/whichproved to be I the final score. When Hendry went only nine minutes remained, but it proved sufficient to give the Englishmen victory, ibe match finishing three j minutes before time, amidst wild exj eitement, Woolley was accorded an i ovation. -
