Hampshire Dismissed For 195 By Australia

(Per

Received Thursday, 10.55 a.m. ^ LONDON, June 2. In reply to a scratchy 195 by Hampshire, the Australians lost two wickets for 54 in the hour before stumps were drawn. - Hampshire ■ were soon in trouble and at tea had lost six for 184. W. Johnston was particularly dangerous when he lessened his pace and spun the ball. Bro'wn, opening with Barnes, was out for a "duck." This followed a run of four centuries and is unlikely to affect his chances of selection for the first Test. Details:— HAMPSHIRE First Innings . Arnold, b Loxton . . 48 Rogers, c Barnes, b W.
