THE FOURTH TEST VICTORY DUE TO WHITE (Australian and N.Z. Press Association.) LONDON, Feb. 9. Clem Hill says : "Bttfc for White, Australia would have been victorious. His performance was one of the greatest feats of endurance ever seen. England is fortunate to have included him, not -only for his bowling, but also, for his brains and knowledge of the game. I consider that since the second test Australia has forged ahead and England lias gone back a little. I expect a good fifth match, if the Australian selectors give a couple of young bowlers a chance to open up and make use of the new ball."
