EXCITING FINISH

ENGLISH COUNTY GIVEN A FIGHTING CHANCE CRICKET MATCH DRAWN Reed. 10.10 a.m. LONDON, Tuesday. The cricket match between Australia and Glamorgan was continued this morning at Swansea, when the visitors resumed their second innings in fine weather. The finish of the match, which was drawn, was the most exciting of the tour. At lunch Australia declared with one wicket for 71. Before then Jackson had given a simple catch, and Bradman, who had been struck on the ankle with the ball, limped slightly. The County was set 218 runs to get in IGS minutes, and when stumps were drawn were only 21 runs short. Bates and Dyson gave the side a good start until Grimmett came on at 33, and was immediately successful. Fairfax was expensive, and the 100 appeared in 90 minutes, with the loss of two wickets. Bates and Turnbull added 93 before Grimmett effected n separation. Bates batted excellently and Turnbull cleanly, both scoring at a fast pace. The third wicket fell at 152. The batsmen were then dismissed about every 10 runs. They forced the pace but failed to achieve their objective by a narrow margin. A doctor examined Bradman and found that he had slightly strained a tendon in his foot. The injury is not serious, but rest is necessary. The scores are: AUSTRALIA First Innings 245 Second Innings PONSFORD, not out 25 JACKSON, c Clay, b D.
