At Bradford a quarter of an hour’s play in the morning ended the Aus-. tralian innings of 365 minutes, Walker jumping out to Rhodes and being easily ; stumped. A’Beckett carried his bat. The weather was fine and wicket good LONDON, July 3. Grimmett, who took all ten wickets in the previous match, and A’Beckett completely routed the leading County. Leyland, a test aspirant, W. Barber and the veteran Rhodes were tht only batsmen who .faced Grimmett confidently. The struggling innings ended at 3.40. The Australian fielding was very bad, about half a dozen chances being missed. Yorkshire’s score would have been even less.

The County followed on being 156 behind. Their score in th c first innings wag their worst this season. They, again started badly ; Hurwood shattering Mitchell’s stumps. Rain stopped play for half an hour. Hurwood, upon the . resumption, claimed, two more victims. He was now showing splendid form and causing all the batsmen trouble.. Grimmett came on at 56 and immediately baffled the batsmen. W. Barber and Robinson fell victims to his wiles.

Hurwood got Wood before stumps were drawn,, leaving Yorkshire in a sorry plight. GRIMMETT’S 100 WICKETS.

BRADMAN, THE WONDER Bradman’s figures during thc past six seasons (including this tour) may be summed up as follows: £ 6 02 £ 3 % w

This amazing total of 11,724 contains a 452*, 340*, 320, 300, 254, 252* 234, 228*, and 225; also 33 paltry centuries.

Bradman, now holds the world’s record in first class cricket with 452* made against Queensland last season; also the record for test cricket in England, with his latest 254. He scored 118 in his first appearance for 'New South Wales (v. South Australia), while his aggregate of 1690 is the highest in first class cricket in Australia. By scoring seven centuries he equalled Hammond’s record of that tour. ’He put up. a remarkable performance in 1929-30 when he 'scored a century and double century on the same day, a feat only previously done by Hanjitsinhji, who, however, bad scored a single century in each innings. He has equalled Ponsford’s record of scoring 1000 runs in two successive seasons, while in another aspect he hqs the really amazing record

of scoring 107*, 127*, 126* and 187, all made in succession. * Signifies not out.
