HAMPSHIRE DISMISSED FOR 151

GRIMMETT’S DEADLY BOWLING BRADMAN REACHES COVETED 1000 RUNS (United Press Association—By Electrio Telegraph—Copyright) LONDON, 31st May. After making a good start against Australia at Southampton, Hampshire were dismissed for 151. Grimmett was again deadly, and took seven wickets, thereby passing the 50 mark for the tour. An overcast sky, heavy rain clouds, and a cold wind made conditions far from ideal.

Lord 'Tennyson, who captained Hampshire, avoir tlie toss and decided to bat. ,The Australian team was: Woodfull, Bradman, Jackson, Ponsford, Wall, Fairfax, Grimmett, Oldfield, Hornibrook, Kippax and McCabe. Brown, who made a lone stand for his side, gave a delightful display, and scored 9 in one over from Wall. He is a left-hander and succeeded in punishing the bowling. Grimmett broke the opening partnership witli tile score at 00, Wall taking a splendid one-handed catch high up, dismissing Hosie. As was fitting a brilliant innings was concluded by a magnificent piece of fielding, Bradman throwing down Brown’s wicket from 50 yards after stopping the ball witli his foot. The spice went out of the game when Brown left. Wickets fell rapidly. Grimmett in his second over after lunch secured liis fiftieth wicket of tho tour. Tennyson showed a disposition to hit, but the howling baffled him. Grimmett continued the rout and the natural wicket enabled him to spin the ball tremendously. None of the latter batsmen offered any serious resistance. His triumph was largely responsible 1 for reviving the' hope that Bradman would get his thousand runs before the end of May. Bradman opened with Jackson. The latter tried to hook Herman’s second ball which caught tlie top of tile bat and was skied to short square-leg, where Boyes took a simple catch. Bradinan wanted 40 to reacli his thousand runs. He and Ponsford dealt severely with loose ones. Then tlio weather threatened to deprive Bradman of the; distinction so eagerly sought. Drizzling rain caused a slight delay of a quarter of an hour. Ponsford was bowled shortly after tea. Bradman crept to 997, then with rain again imminent Newman obligingly, threw up a full toss from which the young recordbrekker reached his thousand'and one. Before the players had left’ the field the rain pelted down, and play ceased for the day. - Nine thousand spectators. gave Bradman an ovation. Scores:^-
