HOME BATSMEN COLLApSE IN SECOND INNINGS EFFORT ENGLISHMEN'S GOOD BATTING

•By Telegraph — Copyrlght).

Rec. Feb. 7, 9.30 p.m. Brisbane, February 7. After Larwood was dismissed by Govan when completing his unfinished over, Ames gave a delightful display of hard hitting. He and Bowes were able to add 37 for the last wicket. Ames' 80 took 76 minutes to compile and included one six and 11 fours. He was out to force the pace. Oxenham bowled really well, but though the schoolboy, Govan, the slpw bowler, took wickets, Gough eoUld only use him a little as he was too expensive. The aboriginal bowler, Gilbert, who was considered a possibility for the leg theory retaliation, was rarely dangerous. Faced with a deficit of 142, Queensland's second innings began disastrously. Gough was caught first ball off j Larwood, who was sending them down at top, and at lunch had taken four wickets for 15 runs off four overs. With four down for 33, Queensland was in a hopeless position and her batsmen came to an inglorious end soon after resuming but there were two bright spots. Gamble threw discretion to the winds against Larwood, hitting him for 14, ineluding one hefty off-drive for six, off four balls before being caught. Larwood appeared to enjoy the fun as much as the crowd. The other bright spot was when >a b!ue cattle dog jumped into the oval and attached himself to Wyatt, who had to lift him over the fence before play could be resumed. Larwood bowled with lots of pace and the left hander, Verity impressed greatly. Except for Camble's bright patch, the Queensland batsmen made a dismal showing. England won by an innings and 61 runs. The attendance for the day was 4000 ad the gate was approximately £250. The official attendance at the mateh was 24,430 and the gate for the match was £1293 compared with £979 at the corresponding match last year.
