England Entertains Geelong Crowd

HIT OUT AT EVERYTHING. LONGHOPPERS AND FULL TOSSES. United Press Association—By Electrlo Telegraph.—Copyright. ' Received Monday, 11.0 p.m. GEELONG, Feb. 8. Although they lost their wickets rapidly the English batsmen wero hitting out at Geelong and treated the spectators to a fine display. The match ended in a draw but England might have won. Robins had a spell of excellent bowling and broke the back of the local batsmen and paved the way for a poor •core. It was intended to enforce a followon. However England acceded to a request to again bat from the public viewpoint. Verity and Worthington were uninspiring. Verity was practising in view of the possibility of being one of the opening batsmen in the Test. Following their dismissal tho others hit out. Ames and Leyland contributed fifty in twenty-four minutes. Robins danced yards from the wicket to have a crack at the bowling while Ames showed his disdain of the fairly accurate attack and penetrated the field with powerful grace. Leyland shed his usual doggedness and Sims revelled in a display of hitting. Wyatt in attempting to follow the example of Robins hit a ball up and lost an opportunity to secure practice. Robins, using the breeze, tied up the local men with leg breaks and an occasional “wrong’un” nonplussing the batsmen. With the end in sight the Euglish bowlers became charitable and gave runs with longhoppers and fulltosses, allowing the last pair to figure in an entertaining partnership. Scores:— GEELONG.
