HUGE COMPILATION

ENGLISH INNINGS SEVEN WICKETS FOR 583 BRADMAN PROMINENT. FIELDING AND BOWLING. (United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) (Received 9 a.m.) PERTH, October 28. Solid batting was witnessed today in the cricket match between England and a combined Australian eleven. The weather was fine, but cloudy. The attendance numbered 12,040 and the receipts totalled £BB6. England’s play suggested that the team was using the match for a quiet batting practice. It was generally stolid and largely dreary. The fielding of the local men was poor, but the interstate representatives were brilliant. Bradman shone as a fieldsman A and a bowler, breaking up the chief y partnership. Ames fell to a ball which brushed his pads and the bails. He did not consider he was out, but bowed to the umpire’s decision. He had taken 53 minutes to make 23 runs. Hammond and Jardine in their partnership gave. an exhibition of solid batting. They were not hustled by cries from the crowd for action. Twice they were “counted out.” Hammond showed masterly and finished footwork, but scored slowly—less than a run a minute. He bright ened up later, but was clean bowled by the Australian captain. His 77 had taken 92 minutes to make. He hit one

six and six fours. Although Allen never appeared to be comfortable, he infused some life into the game. He hit two fours in

succession. With 500 runs on the board for 458 minutes’ play, Bradman was ' given th© ball. In his second over he dismissed Allen, who had made 17 in 42 minutes. Paynter made his Australian debut. It was unfortunate that a shower followed, causing delay. . Jafdine, who had been solidly increasing his score till the last over before tea, was two off his century when he gave an easy catch to McCabe off Bradman at mid-on, Jardine’s 98 included 11 fours and occupied ICS minutes. It was an attractive innings generally. Paynter gave the spectators a lively display with Verity, who shaped attractively. Jnrdino declared the innings closed at 583, compiled in 520 minutes. The wicket held well. Australia opened with Pingleton and Richardson. The fast bowler Allen’s seventh ball brought a thrill. Apparently it hit Richardson’s pad, but the appeal was unsuccessful. Contrasting with England’s play, 19 runs were posted in the first four minutes, 40 in 16 minutes and 50 in 2£ minutes. The light became troublesome and play was stopped with Australia 59 for 0 wickets. Rain started to fall afterwards,

promising a wet night. Details of the scores were: —

(Special to “Northern Advocate.”) CHRISTCHURCH, This Day In a striking letter to the newspapers, Dr. D. Reese, ex-president of the New Zealand Cricket Association, refers in strong terms to the raid by Lancashire on Dominion cricket. “For some considerable time,” he says, “I have been tempted to express views that I am sure must be shared by many people in the Dominion. When the first NetV Zealand cricket team went to England, who thought that within five years four of our leading players would have been enticed to take positions in England, and thus grievously defeat the whole purpose of such tours? The latest overtures to a fifth New Zealand player must compel the attention of authorities of the game. “Apart from all other considerations, which are serious enough in themselves, the monetary cost to New Zealand is an important matter. With Merritt and Blunt each having two tours to England, and Dacre and Cromb one each, all at the expense of the New Zealand Cricket Council and its supporters, it is safe to say that the total cost of these four players was not less than £SOOO. “It surety cannot be expected that this exodus should be allowed to continue unchecked. Less than a year ago the New Zealand Cricket Council, with praiseworthy courage, took steps to protect New r Zealand cricket, and it now appears imperative that the Canterbury Cricket Association should take some action to protect Canterbury cricket. It is intolerable that a New Zealand player should act as intermediary for the Lancashire League Clubs. The strongly developed commercialism of the Lancashire Rugby League and the Lancashire Cricket League, with their unabashed incitement to leading players from various parts of the world, is not only totally out. of keeping with the ideals that have governed our national games until now', but constitutes a menace to national standards and to the prestige of cricket and Rugby in every part of the Empire. “ The letter concludes by stating: “The seriousness of this raid on our cricketers is sufficient, justification for my speaking so plainly and suggest ing to our cricket authorities that appropriate measures be taken. ’’
