j.TUTI OF AUSTRALIANS. MATCH AGAINST SURREY: . Press Association-By' Telegraph-Copyright "LONDON, 18. The weather was cloudy when tho match was resumed-'-to-day,' and later there were frequent showers: Bardtley lost\his wicket in the third oyvr of the day's play. He batted one hour arid 40 'minutes. His play was skilful, The same- - over saw Hartigan, who filled the vacancy, put his first hall ta?nely into Hay ward's hands at point, the sixth wicket falling for So; A bumping ball caused Macalister to put up an easy one in the slips. Three wickets fell in six overs,, and .the eighth wicket was down for 9.7. Then a half-hour's partnership between Macartney and Cotter ensued, and there was some smart running between- 'the' pair. Macartney scored with some neat strokes, and then Cotter lost his leg stump in attempting to drive Rushly. His score included an on drive for six.. Macartney brought » the innings to a close by skieing Lees to .■ Spring atnrid-on. The inniniis lasted two hours 35 minutes. A heavy shower of rain stopped further,play for some time. After lunch the weather cleared, but it was still unsettledSurrey made an inauspicious start in their second innings, the third wicket being down for 27. Hayward was watchful, but made some fine v hits occasionally. He secured five for an on drive off Nobis. Crawford played on to his wicket without dislodging the bails. The light grew bad and rain fell. Play therefore ceased for 25 minutes. On resuming, an off-break of Armstrong's dismissed Crawford, who batted ari hour. The fourth wicket fell at 75. ' 'Hayward surely and steadily swelled the score. He. occupied two hours in compiling his halfcentury, and gave a masterly exhibition of ehanceless cricket.
