AUSTRALIANS IN ENGLAND. THIRD TEST MATCH. AUSTRALIANS WIN BY 219 RUNS. LONDON, July 4. -the weather at Leeds this morning was dull, cool, and overcast. A large crowd was present for the resumption of play in ttf e test match. The wicket was unchanged. Hobbs, whose, complaint has been diagnosed as appendicitis, was ordered by his doctor not to play. Ihe Australians were wearing sweaters alien play was resumed, there being quite a mp in the air. England's overnight score was 22 for two wickets, Ilardinge having 11 on and Ducat 3. M’Donald opened as the .northern end, and in his second over a rising. bull, which touched the shoulder of Ducat s bat, fell into Gregory’s safe hands at fine slip. Three for 30. Douglas joined Hardinge, who shortly afterwards had a lucky escape. He touched a ball from Gregory, which went through ms legs and rolled close to his off stump. Hardinge opened brightly with some nice strokes to the off off M'Donald, rousing the crowd to much enthusiasm. They cheered wildly every single. Armstrong relieved Gregory after three overs, the score being 41, and there was great applause when Hardinge immediately got him past point to the boundary. England’s misfortune, however, continued to fall thick an d fast. Within Half an hour of the start Hardinge was dismissed leg before to Armstrong. He had shaped attractively. Four for 47. Jupp joined Douglas, and rattled on 14 while Douglas was getting 4. Then Jupp tipped ono from Gregory into Carter's hands. Live for 67. While. Douglas and Jupp were together one section of the crowd maintained a running fire of comments op Dopglae’s slow batting; but the fielding had lost none of its dash, and M'Donald was getting plenty of life out of the pitch. Considering England’s sad position, it was no surprise that the play was mostly defensive. Armstrong, when bowling to Douglas, had a long, straight line of six fieldsmen stretching from Hendry at third man to Taylor at long-off. Douglas pleased the crowd by pulling Armstrong squarely to the rails, but proceeded cautiously. The advent of Brown, a left-hander, who came in at 67, did not accelerate the rate of scoring, both batsmen waiting for loose balls, of which there were very few. Ninety minutes produced 70 runs, making the total 92, when M’Donald displaced Gregory. Brown immediately got him to the ropes at deep leg, sending up the century in two hours live minutes. He repeated the stroke against Armstrong in tho following over, and again twice at M’Donald’s expense—the only bright patch in an hour’s cricket. This put the crowd in the best of humour. Gregory's picturesque fielding in the slips was frequently applauded. M alley and Hendry came on when the partnership had realised 50 in 70 minutes. Brown was playing a safe, steady game, making no mistakes with loose deliveries. He pulled Mailey behind the wicket for 4, and drove Hendry, who got plenty of pane off the pitch. The newcomer was justifying his selection by his plucky, dogged stand, and showed enterprise in stealing singles; but Douglas vainly tried to get Mailey past the field. Brown reached Iris 50, and the total was taken to 150 after three hours. M’Donald replaced Hendry. Douglas, batting with remarkable patience, also reached tempted Brown to hit a slow off-break, and Armstrong, at extra cover, took an easy catch. The score was then 164, and the partnership had lasted two hours. M’Donald’s first ball in the next over knocked White’s middle stump back. Seven for 165. The. crowd was surprised when Tennyson appeared, and they gave him nn ovation. A most remarkable stand followed, considering that Tennyson was batting with an injured hand. He turned the first ball almost to the ropes for 2, and drove Mailey for 4. This bowler failed to accept a return next ball. After this let off Tennyson seemed fairly comfortable, and a period of bright batting ensued. Two hundred appeared in 235 minutes, despite changes in bowling. Tennyson, from whom least- was expected, scored faster than bis predecessors. Douglas also livened up finely, turning several of Gregory’s and Hendry’s deliveries to the ropes. It was a gallant fight to avoid a follow-on. the crowd cheering every stroke, especially when Tennyson

hit Gregory high to the boundary. Armstrong replaced Ilendrv at 225. Tennyson reached his 50 in an hour during a sensational over of Gregory’s driving and cutting him past point and through the slips—all boundaries. This brought on M'Donald at 239, of which Douglas claimed 70. The crowd cheered England’s wounded hero, who was making big history. Fortune, too, smiled on him, numerous lucky runs coming his way. Wanting only 5 to avoid following on, Armstrong got Douglas with a leg-break. The partnership had added 88 in 75 minutes. Douglas, who had gone in at 30 and come out at 253, batted four hours. The crowd rose and cheered him to the pavilion. Parkin changed the test match atmosphere by his amusing antics, facing Armstrong, whom he pulled to the boundary, thus saving a follow-on amid a scene of the greatest excitement. Gregory, with a fine catch, then ended Tennyson’s splendid innings, and as Hobbs could not bat England were out for 259. England hatted 290 minutes, and thus fai it was a remarkable day’s cricket, opening with a long period of defensive batting against great odds, and when the hour was blackest changing to a dashing, confident fight by England’s two captains. M hen the Australians went to the wicket the second time the weather was dull and the attendance was 22,000. Bardsley and Andrews began batting to the bowling of Douglas and White. Tennyson, with his hand heavily bandaged, fielded at mid-on. At 8 Andrews drove White high and hard ti long-off. Ducat ran up, got his hands on the ball, but failed to hold it. A little later Bardsley. when 13, gave a chance in the slips off Douglas, who was bowling cxce’lentlv, and had the left-hander tied up throughout the over. After these escapes both batsmen set themselves to knock the bowlers oft their length, and succeeded to the extent that at 50 in 35 minutes Jupp and Parkin replaced them. Both displayed bright cricket, Andrews batting in sparkling style. Parkin bowled fast without mixing them. Jupp, who is also above medium pare, quickly found the spot and sent Bards'ev back with a clinking ball. One for 71. Macartney joined Andrews, who, within an hour of the start, had reached 50. pulling Parkin to the ropes’ and cutting him to the boundary. Douglas relieved him next over. Macartney did not start as dashingly as usual, but, notwithstanding that " a damaged finger was obviously paining him, made some characteristic shots, including a glorious off-drive from Jupp. The eentury appeared in 80 mintites, Andrews 63. He continued confidently, though, like Macartney, became more sedate" a’s the afternoon was closing, but anything loose went to the boundary. Tennyson changed the bowl ng frequently, and 10 minutes before the close of the dav’s play Macartney gave an easy return to Woolley. Two for Carter, who had a fine reception, plavie? out time with Andrews. The weather was sunny and hot when test match was resumed at Leeds. The attendance was moderate, and the wicket "’ as , unchanged. Douglas was absent. Parkin and Woolley carried on the attack against the not out men. Andrews and Carter. At 193 Jupp got Andrews. Carter wa s then 30. Pellew came in, and the pair added 30, then Pellew went. Carter was then 47. Armstrong joined him, and before a run had been added Carter was out leg before to Parkin. Gregory partnered his captain and made three, being then caught by Jupp off White. , Armstrong has still not scored. 9116 attendance for tho third day’s play at Leeds was moderate. The wicket wae unchanged. There was a light haze over the ground when Andrews and Carter resumed batting. The iatter began placing Parkin so crisply through the slips that Hurston (who was fielding for Douglas) was stationed on the edge of the boundary. Andrews was in obvious difficulties in Woolley’s first over, several balls beating bim. It was still a batsman’s wicket, and, despite the fine bowling, both were out on a. rapid run-getting mission, putting on 40 in 20 minutes. Anything loose was converted into a 4. Carter was exploiting that s;ip shot which is part of himself, and Andrews was frequently finding the ropes behind the wickets. Andrews quietened on approaching his century. At 18‘ Jupp relieved Parkin. Andrews showed disappointment when Jupp in his second over beat him. The bail broke back very fast, and robbed Andrews of a well-earned century. Three for 193. iho next few men tried to force tile Jor quick scoring was the only game possible, even at the cost of quick wickets. This gave White, the Somerset crack bowler, _ Lis chance, and he secured three wickets at a small cost. Gregory was out to a mishit, which sent tho bail high in the slips. Four wickets fell in 40 minutes for 37. the scoring board reading seven for 230. Armstrong and Hendry then came to gether. The latter edged Parkin to first 6up, Woolley failing to retain his ho'd Every over had its incident. Tho next was White’s attempt at a right-hand catch l-S? 1 i‘ a \ lot - I ' etUi ‘n bv Armstrong—a most difficult chance. _ Tennyson’s one-hand fieldfrequently applauded. The ground fielding generally was clean. Armstrong opened his shoulders, driving Parkin with terrific power, but was not so successful against White, whose deceptive sows m< cited 1 snect .. 1 . 1 1, -1 ,7 1 ■ , w.eO, lie 6q»i..!e-vut .mu beailt.iuljy to the ropes. Except for changes in the bowling the play thereafter was practically without incident until Annstrong declared at 12.50 p.m., leaving England the formidable task of getting 420 runs in 270 minutes. Brown was limping, and had Hallows to run for him when he went in with Hardin ge. England had a quarter of an hour’s batting before lunch, Gregory and I\l Donald being the bowlers. Blown pa.c-ed Gregory twice through the slips to tno boundary. but within 1C minutes Hardmge lost his wicket, Gregory taking a magnificent catch ; (lie second attempt. At the first try lie got his right hand to tne bad high overhead, arresting its High! then he got both hands to it —the most wonderful eaten of the match. One for 15. After lunch the attendance increased to 7000, and the weather turned hot and sunny. Hearne, tho incomer, soon got into his stride with some delightful cuttiri" off M'Donald, for whom Armstrong fie'ded at backward point. M’Donald was making the ball 'imp, Hearne frequently getting leg-side deliveries shoulder high to the ropes. Brown, who lias made a most astonishing improvement during the last few weeks, drove the fast bowling hard and confidently. Fifty went up in 35 minutes. Then Mailey replaced Gregory. Hearne’s attractive display closed shortly

afterwards, Taylor at short mid-on taking a simpler catch. Australia’s prospects of forcing the game to a conclusion became rosier with tiearne’s dismissal. Two for 57 Woolley came in. and the two tall lefthanders were now associated. Mailey had both guessing, but Woolley got some perfect square cuts off M’Donald. , ‘'' OIIU ' wonderful fielding by Andrews, lay lor, and Pellew was frequently applauded. Brown had a lucky escape from a rising ball of M’Donald’s, which went high into the air just out of danger. On the whole, England's new crack was having a good match. He was giving a lot of trouble, but Gregory, who relieved M’Donald at 96, had him leg'-before with a ball which -was almost a yorlcer. England now wanted 324, with 175 minutes to play, and six wickets in hand. The century appeared shortly after Douglas joined Woolley. Armstrong persevered with Mailey, whom Woolley often pulled to the ropes and cut Superbly, and his perseverance was rewarded when a ball fell off Woolley’s bodv and trickled in to the wicket, and thus broke what threatened to develop into another Douglas-Woolley stand. Four for 121. Ducat lasted only one over, and England’s chances oi making a draw were vanishing with dramatic suddenness. The scoring had been under a run a minute. Next over Gregory knocked over Douglas’s off stump. Three wickets had fallen for four runs when Tennyson joined Jupp and made what turned out to be the final stand of the innings. The former played Gregory through the slips thrice. Jupp drove him to the ropes, and Mailey for four. One hundred and 50 came iso in 125 minutes. When M’Donald relieved Gregory the cricket became anything but invigorating, Mailey continually puzzling Tennyson. At the tea interval Mailey had been bowling unchanged for 100 minutes. The first ball after the tea interval Armstrong dismissed Tennyson. The ball broke across and touched the off-ba.il. The English captain had helped to advance the score from 123 to 180. In Armstrong’s next over Jupp was taken at the wicket. He. like Tennyson, gave a somewhat patchy display, with more than a fair share of luck. Eight for 197. Thus ten minutes’ play had removed England’s shadow of hope. Mailey’s next over was the last. Following are the scores :—• Australia.

Aio'.vling Analysis.—Gregory, two wickets for 55 runs; M'Donald, two wickets for 67 runs; Mailey, three wickets for 71 runs; Armstrong two wickets for 6. The reason that Douglas was absent from the field during Australia’s second innings was that Mrs Douglas was operated on for appendicitis. J fobbs was operated on by a surgeon at Leeds. By their success in this match the Australians have won the rubber in tho test matches of the season. The result of the three matches may be recalled:—• First match, at Nottingham.—Australians won by ten wickets. Second match, at Lord’s.—Australians won by eight wickets. Third match, at Leeds. —Australians won by 219 ryns. England and Australia have now played 102 test matches, of which the former has won 40 and lost 43, die remaining 19 having been drawn, as will be seen in the table of results appended below: IN AUSTRALIA.

The county team is: Kenyon, Sharp, Barnes, Hallows, James Tyldesley, Richard Tyldesloy, Cook, Tills, Watson, Parkin, Whewell. Notable absentees from the side are Makepeace and E. Tyldesley, both of whom are njured. The weather was dull and breezy. There was a, large attendance and a perfect wicket. Armstrong, Oldfield, Andrews, and Mayne stood out of the Australian side. Kenyon won tho toss, and Gregory and M’Donald began bowling to Hallows and Barnes. The county made a very poor poor showing. In two hours the whole side was out. for 92, 31 overs having been bowled Seven w'c-kets were down for 55. Kenyon and Cook then aroused a little excitement by making a short stand, the former hitting Gregory for nine in one over, four of them being run through Pe lew thinking the ball would reach the boundary. Cook was missed, but at 84 was caught at first slip, and Gregory quickly finished off the rest. Every batsman was out behind the wicket', and the stumps were never touched When the Australians went to the wickets the attendance had increased to 12,000. James Tyldesley (fast) and Parkin were the howlers. Bardsley was lucky through mistakes in fielding, being missed early by Whewell, the wicketkeeper, and by Ccok at first-slip next balk lie also apparently played on to his wicket without displacing the bail. Notwithstanding this, the Lancashire bowlers met with some success at the start, three wickets falling for 30. Bardsley was again missed when he was 18, Whewell getting to the ball, but failing to hold it. When he was partnered by Taylor, 50 appeared in as many minutes. Taylor was also twice missed, once by Cook off an easy chance. In the afternoon the attendance increased to 14,000. Parkin and Cook were bowling, when 100 came up in 90 minutes. At 110 J Tyldesley relieved Parkin, and Taylor was caught at mid-on. Four for 111. Tho batting of Bardsley and Taylor mbs of the highest, class. After tea tho former was taken at square log, close in. He had made 71, including 10 fours, and was in lhr 40mm. Five for 123. Gregory was out to a skier at mid-off (six for 126), three wickets falling in rapid succession to J. Tyldesley. J. ryldesley had taken a wicket in each of three consecutive overs. Ryder and Hendry started uncomfortably, but warmed up with drives for singles. Later Hendry was positively fluky in slip shots. Watson and Parkin’ displaced Cook and Tyldesley at 163. Hendry was badly missed by Hallows in the long field when 24. The weather was sunny, but cloudy, when the Australians resumed batting against Lancashire, and the wicket was not so jumpy as yesterday. Two hundred appeared in 155 minutes. Hendry was again dropped behind the wicker, at 41. and made some had strokes through the slips. Parkin was put on, and met with immediate success, bowling Hendry with a slow ball, which upset liis leg stump, and in his second over getting Ryder leg before. This was a valuable partnership, which put on exactly 100 runs, but the batting could not be called clever. Fight wickets were down for 237, but Carter, in his usual unorthodox manner, scored rapidly, til! Parkin spreadeagled his wicket, and the total reached 284. parkin to-day bowled with remarkable variety, and in little over Half an hour secured four wickets for 30. Ho and J. Tyldesley both came out with p;ood averages. Gregory and M’Donald were the bowlers when the county went in again. After lunch the attendance was 12,000, and the weather became bright. The ground was The Prince arrived at 3.30, and was received by Earl Derby, President of the County Club. Sharp, at 12, was badly missed by Carter off (M’Donald. Several changes were made in the bowling, but 100 came up in 80 minutes. Barnes completed his 50 in 102 minutes. After the Tea interval, Gregory hit Barnes hard on the head, but Barnes continued. Collins missed Sharp when he was 42, and also missed a chance of running either man out off tin, same stroke. Barnes played a sterling innings, his strokes being of the crispest. He was at the wickets for 125 minutes, and hit four fours. The Australians joined in the applause. Gregory was severe on Ellis’s fingers, the batsman on three occasions being attended to for knocks. Meantime Sharp got 50 in 80 minutes, and then hit Mailey for three fours in one over. He was caught

at first slip. Ills score included 10 fours. Richard Tyldesley Lit Mailey for a six and Was caught next ball. Scores:—Lancashire.—First Innings.
