THE DERBYSHIRE MATCH. HOME SIDE OUT FOR 215. HORNIBROOK BOWLS WELL. (United Press Association,) , (By Electric Telegraph— Copyright.) LONDON, May 21. Sstorer and Worthington saved Derbyshire from a rout at the .hands of Hornibrook and Wall. Storer batted patieatly throughout, but Ford rattled up 33 in 45 minutes. Worthington also batted brightly, the small ground making boundaries plentiful. Two hundreds runs appeared after 215 minutes, Derby being the first county to make that total against the visitors. Wall and Fairfax early proved innocuous on a lifeless wicket, and it was left to Hornibrook to get the wickets. Wall came on again with a new ball and quickly dismissed Worthington and Mitchell. ° • Ponsford and Jackson scored 54 in the remaining 85 minutes. The county's bowling was accurate, and good fielding kept down the runs. Both batted tediously in the fading light, many opportunities for scoring being lost. - ' AUSTRALIA AT THE WICKETS.
