A DRAWN GAME

N.Z.'s Hard Fight Against Yorkshire DONNELLY'S USEFUL 97 (From th« Speoial Correspondont of the (Jnited Press Asaociation with the Team.i (Received 14, 11.0 a.m.) LEEDS, July 13. Donnelly's delightful innings made memorable New Zealand's fight for a draw after an advantageous declaration tiy Yorkshire. The young lefthander dominated play, scoring 97 out of 13y made while he was batting. Donnelly piayed accur.ately, varying his attack with confidence and discretion. His scoring st^okes were crisp and clean, especially his hooks and cuts. He was dismissed in trying to hook an extra fast ball. He batted for 2J hours, his innings being a fine blending of steadiness and enterprise. His score.included sixteen fours. The dead weight of a bad start and tho again burdensome handicap of five more added to the already huge list of leg-before dismissals, intensified the tourists' discomfiture. Page defended dourly for 1J hours, while Bowes and Smailes made effective use of both the first and second new balls. Tindill and Cowie etubbornly stonewalled for nearly an hour against strong bowling, thus saving the matcb. Yorkshire, in their second innings, encountered vigorous bowling. Tindill was particularly brisk. Not only was he responsible for some fine stumpiug, but he made a great one-handed catch high overhead. Donnelly also took a one-handed catch off his own bowling. Vivian and Wallace made spectacular catches on the boundary. The attendance was 1500, Scores : — YORKSHIRE. First Innings — 364 Second Innings
