AUSTRALIA V. SURREY. AUSTRALIANS WIN BY 78 RUNS. UNITED SERVICE TELEGRAMS. I Received This Day at 9.45 a.m.) (LONDON, June 21. The weather was overcast to-day and attendance moderate. Carter fielded in place of Mayiio injured yesterday. Gregory and Armstrong were the bowlers. The former was fast and maintained a good length and proved unplayable at the start, and took a wicket in each of the first three overs, four wickets being down for forty-seven. Mailey missed Ducat when he was eleven, in Gregory’s fourth over, a boundary accruing. Crawford joined Ducat and made a tremendous drive off Armstrong straight to the pavilion. Armstrong then placed two very deep fields for him. Carter was conspicuous close in, stopping a big hit by Crawford. Hendry also missed Ducat at 21 in the slips, but it was a very sharp chance. A piece of magnificent fielding by Pellew at long leg, to a fine stroke hy Ducat, a single only resulting, brought applause, the players joining in. Twenty overs produced forty-eight runs in fiftv-five minutes.

McDonald replaced Gregory at 83 and five overs resulted in one run, off a noball. Ducat then made a stroke to extra cover, and called Crawford, but Andrews returned smartly to Oldfield and Crawford was run out. It was a silly call especially as both men had quite settled down and were playing well. Crawford was in fifty minutes. The crowd challenged the decision ill-inan-hercdlv. Fonder motioning (hem to desist.

The century appeared in 11.0 minutes. Fender arrived and played a hazardous game. He twice lifted the hall dangerously to long off, and third man, and he should have been stumped when ten. two lives resulting : nstead. Ducat was bowled off his body after making thirty in 115 minutes. Fender tried another big hit and was caught at long off. 7 for 117. Hitch started hitting and got out at once. Abel played forward to his first hall, which hit the off stump.

The innings which lasted 135 minutes ended suddenly, the last three wickets only adding one run; and the Australians won iiv seventy-eight runs.

A deputation from the ground sought to give an opinion on Crawford’s run out. and visited the press box. and averred the decision was given before the wicket was broken. They wished to give names but no notice was taken fov the press representatives ns Field was the square leg umpire. AUSTRALIA—Ist Tunings. Andrews b Hitch 4 Mavne, played on, b Hitch 9
