AN EASY VICTORY

THE AUSTRALIAN CRICKETERS AN INNINGS AND 163 RUNS (United Press Association.) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) LONDON, May 10. The match between Australia ami Cambridge University was continued in glorious weather. The wicket was good and the outfield fast. Ponsford (195) and Brown (77) proceeded to score merrily. Brown hit three successive 4’s and reached 100 in 165 minutes, but when the partnership had added 262 runs in 180 minutes Brown, hitting vigorously, was caught in the slips after a delightful innings which was full of grace and confidence. He hit six 4’s. Woodfull declared at 12.15. Ponsford’s 229 is his highest score In England. He batted 370 minutes and hit 19 4’s. He was always completely confident. The Cambridge batsmen were veiy careful,' and when eight rims had been scored after half an hour’s play Griramett was called on and dismissed Allen. , From then on Grimmett completely dominated the situation. Khan, however, attacked the slow bowler, getting 33 in 12 minutes, including five boundaries, before being brilliantly caught at midoff.

The other batsmen merely swung at Grimmett and hoped for the best. The innings lasted 185 minutes. Grimmett bowled unchanged for 165 minutes. Cambridge followed on with 85 minutes left to play, and made no better showing than they did in the first innings. Grimmett did not bowl in the second innings. Darling has taken two wickets for 9 runs. FINE BOWLING Bt GRIMMETT. LONDON, May 11. (Received May 12, at 1.35 p.m.) Australia won by an innings and 163 runs.

' SEVERAL AUSTRALIANS. LONDON, May 10. Kippax and Mr Bull (treasurer of the Australian team) are suffering from influenza and have high temperatures. They were removed by ambulance to a private hospital. They will be unable to accompany the team to London to-morrow. Cbipperfield, Bromley, and Oldfield are recovering from their colds. M’Cabe went to bed immediately after to-day’s play. His complaint has not yet been diagnosed. Grimmett suffered a recurrence of the strain to his right hand, which explains why he did not, bowl in the second innings. Influenza is going through the Australians. If there are any further casualties there may be difficulty in getting a team against Marylebone on Saturday. HAMMOND'S INJURY. LONDON, May 10. The Daily Mail says that. Hammond retired against Middlesex with a strained back, due to an injury at the base of the spine, received while at practice before the season opened. He has been ordered a few days’ rest. Larwood has resumed batting practice. Apparently he has recovered. .JARDINE BACK IN ENGLAND. LONDON. May 10.
