M.C.O. WIN

OVER WJCSTRALIA. (Australian Press Association) PERTH, Nov. 3. England beat Western Australia in the cricket match by seven wickets. There was a large attendance. The weather was dull at the commencement but cleared up, and there was bright sunshine in the afternoon. Rain fell overnight and made the wickctt, like putty, but it dried rapidly, and was easy in the afternoon.

Western Australia collapsed, and ■were d ism i sod in 1-18 minutes, for 127 runs. Earle made, a spectacular catch with his back ,to the batsman, and dismissed Horrocks. Bowley’.s b'd band caused him early to miss Horrocks, but he had his revenge in dismissing five for 30. England had the advantage of a better wiclcqt, which made the task of gaining, a victory fairly easy. "Duleeps'inhgi delighted the crowd with a sparkling display, making the winning hit to the boundary. HP score included six fours. Ho gave only one chance, and received a: ovation. -Scores:— W ESTR ALI A. —F i rst Innings. Richardson, c Cornford, b Allom ... 3 Taffe, b Nichols ... / 3 F.
