M.C.C. BATTING
r THREE FOR 96 WICKETS TAKEN BY ' FAIRFAX DULEEPSINHJI NOT OUT 50 ' (United Presjj Assn.—By Telegraph-Copyright.) (Rec. 1.30 a.m.) London, May 19, The cricket match between Australia and the M.C.C. was resumed at Lord's in cool, dull weather. Five thousand saw Marylebone make only a slightly better start than Australia. Lyon played a poor stroke off Fairfax’s third over, and Richardson took an easy catch at forward mid-on. The wicket was hard, consequently the conditions were expected to give Wall and Fairfax a fair test.. Duleepsinhji started- smartly, showing powerful wrist work in cutting Wall and Fairfax. The latter was twice no-balled.
Fairfax was keeping a better length than in previous matches, and was rising sharply off the pitch, He had Lee in trouble and dismissed him when the total was 31. Walker accomplished a fine piece of stumping. Meanwhile, Duleepsinhji batted delightfully, putting Wall hard past point for the first boundary # of the day and also frequently turning the fast bowler neatly to leg. Wall’s length and direction were indifferent, Hendren also glancing him to the fence. Hornibrook came on when the total was 45, Following were the scores at the luncheon adjournment:— AUSTRALIA. First Innings .. .. .. ... .. A ._ 285 M.C.C. —First Innings.— .Lyon c Richardson b Fairfax .. .. 3 'Lee std. Walker b Fairfax .. ..... 11 Duleepsinhji not out 50 Hendren c Woodfull b Fairfax .... 31 Extra 1 Total, for three wickets .. ~ 96 CHAPMAN’S LEADERSHIP 0) TRIBUTE BY P. F. WARNER.

(Rec. 840 p.m. London, May IS. Mr P. F. Warner, writing in the Morning Poet, says that the great factor in
the M.C.C. team's success against the Australians was Chapman’s admirable leadership. He managed the attack most skilfully. England’s bowling generally confirms the opinion that t,here has been a big improvement therein.. The score does not
represent the potential value of Australia’s batting. The men are unaccustomed to the differ-
ing wickets, -but momentarily there is a definite tail.
