SUSSEX MATCH

COUNTY FORCE THE PACE FIRST INNINGS CLOSE AT 269 HORNIBROOK FIVE FOR 51 (United Press Assn.—Uy Telegraph—Copyright.) London, September 1. The Australian last wicket partnership against Sussex produced 118 in 110 minutes. Sussex began in spirited fashion, Bowley and Parkes raising 36 in half an hour. At 68 Hornibrook dismissed the former. Duleepsinhji was attractive, but Hornibrook claimed him as a victim for the sixth time of the tour when Oldfield performed a brilliant piece of stumping. J. Parkes was 50 in 105 minutes and he and Cook continued to bat with skill and freedom. Sussex’s 150 took 130 minutes. Parkes, after an excellent innings lasting 145 minutes, including nine boundaries, played Hornibrook on. ' At the tea adjournment the county were in a good position with three wickets down for 212. Cook’s 50 occupied 100 minutes. Three wickets then fell in quick succession. Tate batted vigorously, hitting Grimmett for two fours and a six in one over. The last six wickets added only 57. Cook was unconquered. He batted for 170 minutes and gave a chanceless display, hitting six fours. Hornibrook maintained a good length throughout. Ponsford and Jackson gave attractive displays for the remaining quarter of an hour. Following are the scores: SUSSEX. First Innings, Bowley b Hornibrook . , . .34 J.

FURTHER LIGHT ON THE SUBJECT. (Per United Press Association.) Wellington, September 2. Some further light on Bradman’s alleged breach of the terms of the conract with the Australian Cricket Board of Control is thrown by the following cablegram from London which was published recently in Australia: "Bradman’s talkie is a big attraction in London. Bradman records admirably and demonstrates every stroke while discussing his cricket. Bradman’s business interests are of such magnitude that he has a manager arranging his contracts. This manager estimated that Bradman would clear £3,000 on the tour, not including the Board of Control’s £650.”
