CRICKET.
QUEENSLAND V. VICTORIA. (United Press Association. —By Electric Telegraph .—Copyright.) BRISBANE, February 5. In the Sheffield Shield match, Queensland in the second innings scored 22-1. Thompson made ninety and Niothling twelve. In the bowling Ironmonger took 4 for 60, and Gamble 4 for 66. Victoria in the second innings had made 183 for 2 (Onyons not out 100) when stumps were drawn. WARNER’S COMMENT. (Received this day at 11.25. a.m.) LONDON, February 5. Warner says the position at present favours England. Some oldtimera grumble at the slowness of the play, but fail to realise that field tactics have developed tremendously. Hammond is the wonder cricketer of the present dav and looks like surpassing Grace and‘Hobbs. By the end of the Australian tour he will be another Alexander, sighing for more worlds to conquer. I believe within a decade be is destined to do tilings to cause men to say another champion from Gloucestershire has arrived. I always regarded Jardine as a rock whereon Australian howlers would split. His runs are worth more than the actual figures because his cool head, perfect defence, and array of strokes bring despair to the howlers.
