CHIPPERFIELD AGAIN

COMPILES 115, NOT OUT,

AUSTRALIA NINE FOR 428

THE BOWLING HAMMERED. (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) Received May 25, 9.10 a.m. LONDON, May 24. Excellent scoring characterised the second day’s play in the match between the Australian cricketers and Hampshire. Tho home side’s last wicket fell with tho score at 420 and at stumps Australia had compiled 428 runs for the loss of nine wickets. Chipperfield again entered the limelight, being still unbeaten with 115 to liis credit, while Darling contributed 96 and McCabe 79. Australia opened disastrously, three wickets falling for 10 runs, Bradman and Brown both being dismissed for “ducks.

Vigorous hitting by Tennyson was tlie principal feature of the closing stages of Hampshire’s innings on a good wicket, it lasting 345 minutes. Tennyson made 56 in 95 minutes and hit ten fours.

Chipperfield bowled well, spinning both ways. A large crowd saw a sensational start to Australia’s innings. Woodfull tapped the amateur fast bowler Baring for a single. Then, in tlie same over, Brown was cauglit behind the wickets. Kennedy bowled a maiden to Woodfull. BRADMAN’S “DUCK.”

Then Baring, keeping an excellent length, got Bradman’s wicket. Mead holding a good catch at first slip. This was Bradman’s second “duck” of the tour. He returned to the pavilion grinning broadly. Tlie amazed crowd was still murmuring with excitement when McCabe joined Woodfull. Tlie third wicket fell with tlie score at ten, within 25 minutes of the opening. Woodfull, reaching forward, plaved a slower ball from Baring and cocked it up, Baring making an easy catch running down the pitch. Baring’s figures were 3 for 6. McCabe was nearly caught and twice narrowly missed being run out, but he and Darling hit out bravely.

BOWLING PUNISHED. After lunch McCabe and Darling handled tlie bowlers with ease and iOO runs appeared in 90 minutes. Darling’s 50 occupied an hour and McCabe then lifted Baring for a sixer. McCabe’s 50 took 90 minutes. Both batsmen punished Baring and he was taken off. Tlie batsmen then hammered Kennedy and Lowndes with equal ferocity, Darling hooking the latter into the pavilion, but when four short of the century tried to repeat the stroke and played over it, ending a courageous, agressive innings of 105 minutes. He hit one 6 and fourteen 4’s.

Baring returned and dismissed McCabe in his first over. McCabe had batted 145 minutes, hitting one 6 and seven 4’s.

Despite lack of practice, Kippax batted beautifully. Bromley, after a shaky start, settled down to sound batting. Kippax was caught in the slips before tea.

Chipperfield and Oldfield saved a follow-on. Then Chipperfield began driving powerfully, hitting a 6 off Boyes. The partnership was worth 79 before Oldfield was bowled.

Chipperfield, cutting and driving with complete disdain for all bowlers, raced towards the century. O’Reilly hit Boyes for two successive 6’s raising 400 after 280 minutes. Chipperfield’s splendid 100 liad taken only 95 minutes.

The ninth wicket added 69 then Hampshire’s total was passed. _ Chipperfield thus far has hit seventeen boundaries. Barings figures are 5 for 121. Detailed scores: HAMPSHIRE. First Innings.
