AN INNINGS WIN OVER HAMPSHIRE

GRIMMETT AGAIN TAKES SEVEN WICKETS BRADMAN SCORES 191 (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright) (Received 3rd June, 9.40 a.m.) LONDON, 2nd June. At Southampton for the resumption of the cricket match Australia v. Hampshire the weather was fine and the wicket soft after week-end rain. Australia, after an extension of time, repeated their Oxford performance, gaining an innings win in two days. With the exception of Bradman and McCabe, however, the visitors shaped badly. Kippax was, easily caught at mid-on and Woodfull had two chances before he was beaten. The captain is suffering from a severe cold, and should not be playing. Bradman meanwhile was hitting vigorously and scoring freely in all directions. He raced towards his century, punishing Boyes, from whom he scored ten in one over. Bradman reached his fourth hundred of the tour after 135 minutes. He then requisitioned a hew bat, and continued to-display fierce hitting. McCabe was also forcible, and timed well. The two hundred took only 145 minutes. A new ball failed to quieten the batsmen, htcCabe hitting hard to all parts of the field. He and Bradman put on 100 in the short space of 45 minutes. Frequent changes of bowling had no effect. Herman came back but the pair knocked 15 off his first over. McCabe’s innings ended when the partnership had added 141. He hit twelve boundaries. The total was then 282. ■ '-> .

Fairfax was caught at fine leg, then four wickets fell for an addition of two runs. Bradman continued to hit fearlessly, and was the last man. out. He hit one C and twenty?six»4's and: gave a magnificent, chanceless display-.' Boyes bowled splendidly throughout.. Hampshire's second innings : was a repetition of the first. Brown and Hosie, scored 50 for the first wicket and then three wickets fell for ;7. runs. Hornibrook and Grimmett baffled the batsmen and at the time for play to. cease nine men were out. The captains agreed to an extension of time. Grimmett's seven victims brought.his total to sixty wicketsi
