The weather was iiot and there was an excellent wicket, Queensland in their second innings 'made 110 (J. r J homson 39). Scott took 3 for 47, Massio 4 for 33, luailey 2 for 20. THE BEST ALL-BOUND. From “Test Match Cricket of 1912,” in Blackwood’s Magazine:—Admitting ■that Jessop on his best day is a perfect gem of a hitter, we prefer to watch Macartney, for the simple reason that we never seem to know what he is by way of doing next. Full ol vitality, violating w ; th success the old standard rule of keeping the right foot linn, lie leaves it open to conjecture until the extreme psychological moment whether a straight ball shall be treated with respect or hit either to the off or the boundary. ■ 11 bio power of getting over the ball is marvellous for so short a man, it is hardly so marvellous as his knack of fein ting in the first place to run a war from a fast and slightly nnclerpiceiled delivery, only to return to the attack, and either hook the ball to one boundary or chop it to the other. in either case, the ball is at the boundary almost in the same instant a® it has left the hat, proving that tinutile man is gifted with an mutually strong wrist, in addition to hating the eye of a hawk and being extraordinarily quick on his feet. And to bis powers of batting the fact that he is Kmart in the held, and a more than ordinarily useful bowler, and—pace Air Maealister—Macartney may be written down as being very nearly, if not quite, the best all-round cricketer of the dav.

It was proved once again in the contest between Pat Bradley and Jean Audouy, at the Sydney Stadium, that skill is of no avail unless backed up by strength. The Frenchman displayed the greater skill, but Bradley’s undoubted strength enabled him to take all that the Frenchman gave him, although there was once in the tenth round when Audouy might have had the Irishman in a very bad way, if lie had followed up the advantage gained by landing a right on the chin, and as the Frenchman weakened Bradley was in turn able to administer severe punishment. The contest came to an unexpected finish in the seventeenth round. Up to that point Andouy was ahead on points, but he was fading with each round, and it seemed highly probable that the hard-limb-ed, persistent Bradley would land a blow that would end the battle. In the round mentioned, Audouy suddenly extended his hands to Bradley in token of defeat. Bo had had enough, and, wisely, said so. The Frenchman’s finish caused some surprise, but subsequently it was ascertained by two doctors that Audouy had fractured both hands. Mr Scott was referee (says the Telegraph).
