M'CABE'S CENTURY

THE LEICESTER MATCH AUSTRALIA DECLARES (United Press Association.) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) LONDON, May 7. With Kippax and Darling together in the match between Australia and Leicester the scoring quietened. _Geary was clearly worrying Darling. Kippax took 75 minutes to make 20. Darling was speedier, but less safe. He was brilliantly caught by the wicketkeeper wide on the leg side. The 3000 present after lunch saw M'Cabe, .who Was immediately aggressive, have a life when Hazelrigg, in the slips, failed to hold the ball. Kippax at last opened out and'reached 50 in 140 minutes. M'Cabe's 50 took 80 minutes. Kippax had another life at 70, Geary dropping the ball at forward short leg. Although Kippax was again mis-hitting badly, 100 for the partnership was raised in 00 minutes.- Kippax, trying to pull Shipman, was. easily caught at square leg. He had. batted. .225 minutes and had scored eight 4'a. It was an unimpressive innings. ... M'Cabe added only 4 in 25 minutes, and when 00 turned'Astill to fine leg straight into Smith's hands, but the catch was dropped. Barnett punched the bowling on its merits, but M'Cabe was quiet, reaching the century after 160 minutes' play. Bradman declared at 5.30. M'Cabe hit 12 4's. Barnett scored a bright 30 in 35 minutes. The innings lasted 355 minutes: $. In the 45 minutes remaining for play Leicester scored 35 for the loss of Shipman's wicket. Two cracking 4's by Dawson in one over from Darling constituted the only bright patch. Ebeling worked hard Avithout creating an impression. " Following are the scores:LEICESTER.
