AUSTRALIA MAKES 566

England Five For 212 GREAT SCORING IN THIRD TEST Bradman Smashes Records With 334 AUSTRALIA is in a happy position at the end of the second day of the third cricket Test against England, having made 566 in the first innings and dismissed five of England’s batsmen for 212. Critics say rain alone can save England from defeat. Bradman’s record-breaking innings of 334 is acclaimed enthusiastically the world over, and a wealthy Australian admirer has presented him with £I,OOO for his great batting feat.

United I‘. A. —By Telegraph — Copyright LONDON’, Saturday. When stumps were drawn yesterday in the third test match at Keadiugley, Leeds, between the Australian cricketers and England, the visitors had made 458 for three wickets, o: , which Bradman had made 309 not out. The visitors today took their score to 566, of which Bradman made 334. England had made 212 for five wickets when stumps were drawn. When play was resumed this morn ing there were 20,000 spectators, the chief question discussed by whom was how many more records Bradman | might break. Bradman had a gveat reception when he came out with McCabe, who ; gave an early indication he intended to go for runs Bradman, too. soon got busy, hitting Tate for three successive fours. McCab punished Larwood with many bin hits. He was eventually clean bowled. He hit six fours. While he lasts he is a most brilliant batsman, but he 13 always in such a kefvrbfofy ac« swipck: 1 "”' : Richardson was out in a similar fashion to Jackson. He tried to on drive and gave Larwood an easy catc:: j at forward short leg. Thus two wick i ets fell in the first half-hour. GOT HIM AT LAST Bradman went on splendidly and raised 500 in 385 minutes, to which he had contributed 330. When he had made 334 he tried a late cut off Tate. ! Duckworth took a smart catch, which closed a magnificent innings, which had lasted 385 minutes. He had hit ■ 46 fours, six threes, and 26 twos. The sixth wicket fell at 508. Bradman was vociferously applauded as he : walked out. Four wickets fell within an hour. ; Oldfield skied a ball above the covers ! and Hobbs took a well-judged catch. A’Beckett was partnered with Grimmett. A'Beckett was caught at midoff by Chapman after shaping creditably in his first English test match. SPECTATOR HIT Grimmett hit Tyldesley for two successive sixes, one causing an injury to a woman spectator. He should have been run out. but Larwood returned the ball to the wrong end. Wall attempted to hit a leg-break from Tyldesley and was clean bowled. One run later Grimmett tried to turn Tyldesley to leg and was smartly caught" at the wicket. The innings of 566 had occupied 450 minutes, ending at 12.40 p.m. Chapman, after consulting Hobbs, ordered that the heavy roller be used on the pitch during the 25 minutes’ interval. The English o.ening batsmen, Hobbs and Sutcliffe, went in to bat in cool and overcast weather. There were 30,000 spectators present. Hobbs stole many singles of A’Becket and Sutcliffe showed a partiality for Wall, who was bowling a good length. The pair at luncheon had reduced the deficiency by 17. TAKING NO RISK The batsmen took no risks when Grimmett bowled after luncheon, especially as the fieldsmen were close in. Several maidens were bowled by both Grimmett and Wall. The duels between Grimmett with his googlies and Hobbs and Sutcliffe were full of interest. Grimmett was in deadly form and Hobbs twice went down on his knees in attempting to sweep the ball to the boundary. Hornibrook replaced Wall with 50 on the board in 85 minutes. Then in unusual incident happened. A’Beckett

■at silly mid-on took a ca / h from Hobbs near the ground. Hobbs was surprised, and referred to the square-leg umpire, who signalled him out. A minute elapsed before Hobbs left the wicket, apparently disgusted. The umpire at the bowler's end

* had not decided the appeal, because A’Beckett had dived for the hall away from him and spoiled his view of the incident. A’Beckett no doubt took the ball before it had reached the ground. TOOK HIS SMILE OFF His I,.' l '' l ? all smiles, Sutcliffe was soon afterward badly beaten by Grimmett’s leg break and Hornibrook made a neat catch at first slip. Thus two of England's best men had gone for 64 runs. Hammond played Hornibrook comfortably, but was shaky facing GrimmetL

£I,OOO FOR BRADMAN LONDON, Saturday. \ WEALTHY Australian merchant, Mr. Arthur Whitslaw, telegraphed to Leeds today stating that he intends to give Don Bradman £I,OOO in token of his admiration of the young batsman's wonderful performance in the third test match. Bradman received a telegram telling him of Mr. Whitelaw’s offer while he was on the field.. Mr. W. L. Kelly, manager of the Australian team, replied to Mr. Whitelaw asking him to accept deepest gratitude on the batsman's behalf.

Duleepsinhji opened with his usual fireworks, but he was wary ot Hornibrook’s inging balls. After a dashing innings Hornibrook got hi* middle stump. Hammond and Leyland batted quietly. England was in a sorry position at tea-time, needing 280 run* to avoid the follow on. Leyland hit a sixer after tea, and a’Beckett was aealsatf®' l smart break in various ways and caoaad anxious moments, neither batsman being able to get on to the ball. HAMMOND IMPROVES Leyland was hitting freely at times. Then he got another sixer off Grimmett and Hammond gave occasional glimpses of his old form. The score was 200 in 230 minutes. McCabe, using the new ball, was unlucky not to get Hammond in his first over, when he had made 52, Oldfield dropping a catch. Wall immediately afterward dismissed Leyland, who mishit the ball into Kippax's hands at backward point. The partnership had put on 83 runs in 95 minutes. Leyland had hit two sixers and three fours. Geary had several narrow escapes and finally was run out. after a smart return by Wall. Duckworth played out the remaining ten minutes, cleverly allowing Hammond to get tba bowling.
