AUSTRALIAN ELEVEN.

DERBYSHIRE MATCH. HOME TEAM OUT FOR 218. VISITORS 54 FOR NO WICKETS. United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright. (Received May 22, 8.55 a.m.) LONDON, May 21. The Australians commenced a match against Derbyshire to-day. The home team batted first. Storer and Worthington saved Derbyshire from a rout at the hands of Hornitorook and Wall. Storer batted patiently throughout, but Ford rattled up 33 in 45 minutes. - Worthington also batted brightly, the- small ground making boundary hits plentiful. Two hundred runs appeared after 215 minutes’ play, Derbyshire being the first county to make that total against the visitors.

Wall and Fairfax early proved innocuous on the lifeless wicket and it was' left to Hornibrook to get the wickets.

Home Team’i Top-scorer.

Wall came on again with a new ball and quickly dismissed Worthington and Mitchell. Ponsford and Jackson scored 54 in the remaining 85 minutes’ play. The county’s . howling was accurate, and good fielding kept down runs. Both hatted tediously in the fading light, the . crowd ironically applauding occasional runs. Many opportunities of scoring were lost. The scores were: DERBYSHIRE.—First Innings.
