Received Wednesday, 10.35 a.m. LONDON, May 11-. Dismissing Surrey for 195 in the second innings, Australia had a very easy innings victory.' A draw would have been a more equitable result to rew^rd Surrey's plucky oattle against time, which they lost oy 23 mmutes.0 Heavy rain just bexore play was due to begin today slowed Uie pace . of the wicket ' vvhich though responsive to a turnmg oall gave the bacsmen plenty of . ciiiie to watch the break. Mclntyre joined Squires, with the total at three for 62', and added 67: before Harvpy took the hrst of two brilliant deep field catches to ..dismiss Squires. "* This stand gave Surrey heart, but when Mclntyre went oheir chances of playing out time were slim. Laker and Bedser stayed dngged for forty minutes but Surridge hit up a merry twenty before he feli to Rarveys second running high cateh. W. Johnston's figures of four wickets for 40 runs reflected his merit, but the other Australian oowlers were not impressive. The umpire, Harry Baldwin, called Lindwail's first no-ball of the tour in his fourteenth 1 over. Baldwin consistently no-bailed the Australian fast bowler Ernie Mc"O^rmick on the 1938 tour. Detailed scores are as follows: — AUSTRALIA First Innings 632 .
