GREAT SCORE.

IN TEST MATCH. FIVE HUNDRED BY ENGLAND, . AUSTRALIA AGAIN IN. •ONE OUT FOR NINETY-SIX RUNS. By Telegraph—Press Association—CoDyrlgh' (Rec. January 15, 10 p.m.) Adelaide, January 10. The third Test match, M.C.C. v. Aus> tralia, was Tssumed to-day in cool weather. The attendance was about five thousand, and tho wicket was still excellent. Cotter and Hordvrn took up the bowling to Mead and Foster. The batsmen were at first ultra-cautious. They would not try any forcing shots, and, in half an. hour, they had notched only 15 singles. At last Foster cut Cotter for two, ond Mead drove him for 3. A total 0f,350 went up in 374 minutes. With the score unaltered, Hordern. caught an easy return from Mead, who had batted for 107 minutes. This vraa Hordern's first wicket, and it had cost 100' runs. Douglas came in next, and Matthews - replaced Cotter. Foster was at tho wickets for CC minutes before his first 10 ap- , peared. Douglas drove Matthews for 4, but subsequently tho batting became more tedioue than ovor, for tho batsmen simply blocked the bowling. Hordern, after bowling twelve overs for 17 runs, resigned, the leather to Kelleway, whom Foster at once late cut to the boundary. At the luncheon adjournment tho 6oors was 393-Foster, 33; Douglas, 19. Cotter and Hordern bowled after luncheon, and 400 appeared after 426 minutes' play. Even with a now ball, tlia bowlers could make no impression<on the batsmen, who merely let the ball hit lhe\ bat with patient stolidity. Minnett and Armstrong were called on to take up the attack, and Foster reached his SO after 114 minutes. In Minnelt's second over Douglas played on. The English captain batted- with moro freedom thiili usual,'and- was at tho wickets only. 75 minutes. Woolley was next man. Foster pw sently opened out, and hit Minnctt for three fours in one over, and then Armstrong bowled him. Foster generally hits , but to-day he was most watchful, though! wlieri he did hit he put a lot of wrist.' power into his strokes, and placed his shots cleverly."'. His iuni'ugs occupied 134 minutes, and included six fours. Woolley and Smith shaped well, njid Cotter and Uordern wore soon bowling again. Smith punished Hordern's slows by jumping out to.them. ~ . : When Woolley was sixteen ho slammed, a ball back to Cotter with terrific force, and the bowler, who had followed up, was lucky to save his head, leave alone witch the ball. In Cotter's nest over, however, Woolley pulled a short ball into, his stumps. He had taken. 40 minutes to make twenty.' Eight for 492. •, ..' ', With Barnes in, Smith cracked a seven' oltiHordcrn, completing the fifth century for 508 minutes' batting. One Tun later, however, Smith skied Cotter, and was nicely caught at mid-on by Vine, one of the Englishmen, who, was fielding"for Trumper, whose knee had been injuredwhile fielding. t _ '. ; Hitch lifted his first ball to Macartney,' who was fielding (as substitute) on the boundary. The innings lasted 514 minutes altogether. Cotter bowled well, but Hordern, except for tho first hour to-day, did not trouble t'he batsmen. Tho , fielding .was patchy. With 95 minutes to bat, Kelleway and Bardsley faced Foster and Barnes. Kelleway at once swung Foster'to the leg bound-* ary, and Bardsley cover hit Barnes for 4. The bowling, however, soon grew exceedingly accurate, and, with the field clos« in. the batsmen found the runs hard to get. .■ •■ - •■ • ■ . Snicks off either bowler yielded seven to Kelleway, though tho second passed dangerously near to Gmm in the slips. A double change—Douglas and Hearno —was tried at 3!), and 12 runs were scored off their first two overs. This brought up 50 in 5G minutes. Hearne's third ovei; cost 12 runs, mostly to Bardsloy, and Kelleway snicked one luckily through the slips. At 08 Hitch replaced Hearne, and U rims canio from two overs, but, in hi* second, Bardsley, who was 40, was badly missed by Foster. Then Kelleway played on to Douglas. Ho hud been batting for S2 minutes. Oμ for 85. , Bardsley and Carter steadily played out time, the Australian total then being 90. for one wicket. '■•''.• Australia.—First Innings, Kelleway, b.
