CRICKET ENDS TAMELY IN DRAW
Sparklmg Ceistnry By Wallace Dashes Yorkshire Hopes Received Wednesday, 9.40 a.m. BRADFORD, May 3. # After the alarms and excursions of the previotls evening, the New Zeaianders> first match of their tour against York;snire ended somewhat tamely in a draw.
Any local hopes that Yorkshire could press home the advantage 0ained yesterday by Aspinall were nrmly and .conlidently quasned oy Wallace^ 'who scored 126 — the first eentury for the tourists — in nearly} three hours. One hour after his sparkling inaings ended at 3 p.m., Hadiee deelared at 144 for six, leaving Yorkshire to get 269 in 2 hours 20 .ninutes. Yorkshire were content to score 40 in the first hour and tc end the day with 101 for the loss jf three wickets. There was little interest in the tame after Wallace left. A declara- , on ear ier than 4 p.m. might have added spice, for Yorkshire. woult have been set a task of scoring a oomething approaching nearly lOi runs hourly. Hadiee decided othervvise, however, for there appeared little chance of New Zeaiand bowlng out Yorkshire in the time on a docile wicket, and- there was ni joint .at this stage of the tour in uirowing the match a\fray.
