Yorkshire Behind On First Innings

Received Tuesday, 12.20 p.m. LONDON, June 21. Yorkshire fought vaiiantly on a soft, turning wicket but -failed by 43 runs to reach Australia's first innings total of 249. Toshack found that the condG tions suited him admirably. He bowled dangerously throughout thei innings and was rewarded with the fine figures of seven for 81. | Overnight rain had made the1 pitch soft and Johnston and Tosh-j ack made the ball stand up sharp-j ly. Hutton stayed dourly forj nearly two hours for his 39. j When Australia batted again,! Brown and Bradman figured in a' valuable second wicket stand after | Barnes had again failed. Brown1 had several lucky escapes and Bradman, too, found the kickingj Jeg breaks difficult to handle.
