Warwickshire’s Poor Score

CENTURY TO BRADMAN United Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. LONDON, July 13. Fingleton was struck on the head by a ball and had to retire. Dollery and Ord scored brightly and raised 100 in 125 minutes. Ward was belatedly called on at 137 and immediately had the batsmen in trouble, Ord was out after a fine innings, which included even boun daries. The “tail-enders” were quickly dismissed, and the innings ended after 200 minutes. Bradman and Brown, apparently wanting practise, batted quietly amid ironical applause, -nd the cry, “This isn’t a test match!” was heard when Brown, after 105 minutes, reached 28 After 5.30, however, the batsmen opened out and Bradman reached his cen tury in 135 minutes.

The weather was cold and cloudy and the wicket easy when the match was resumed. Bradman began aggressively with magnificent boundary shots, late cuts and hook 3, and then a careless stroke gave an easy catch at short mid-on off Mayer. He batted two and threequarter hours and hit 14 fours in a chanceless innings. He seemingly threw his wick6fc away. Brown reached 100 in 220 minutes, then jumping out to hit was clean boiled. His innings was also chanceless, with many stylish glances. He notched seven fours. Barnes opened with a glorious four through covers and continued to bat brightly. Unable to get past the keen fieldsmen, he was out to a catch in covers, mistiming a hit. Australia in the first innings had made five for 341 at lunch.
