AUSTRALIA v. NORTHAMPTON. 'By Electric Telegraph.—Copyrig> t.) (United Press Association.) (Received 10, 10.30 a.m.) i London, May 9. | The match Australia v. Northamptonshire commenced in hot weather. The attendance was moderate, and the wicket was good. Smith, Win"tty, Webster, and Haziitt were not included in the Australian team. The Australians batted first, Gregory and Bardsley facing East and Thomson. When the, total had reached 56 Bardsley played on to Smith, to whom he had never been comfortable. Gregory had scored 32 in forty-five minutes. Macartney partnered Gregory, and a line stand ensued. Gregory reached 50 in seventy minutes. The total reached 100 in seventy-five minutes. When Gregory was 53 he was missed from consecutive balls from Smith, giving chances to Vials in the slips and Thomson at short-leg. He was also beaten twice in the same over, and at .57 gave a difficult chance to Bust well, wno was standing back to Wells. Gregory, after passing 50, was often mis-timing. IVlucartticy was playing free and attractive cricket. At lunch the total was 148. After lunch the attendance rose to 2000. Macartney reached 50 in seventy-five minutes. With the total at 203, Gregory attained his century after 144 minutes’ play. Tie was good on the off-side. Meanwhile Macartney’s score was 78. Tie was showing splendid defence and hard driving. The total was taken to 290, when Macartney fell to a brilliant rightminded high catch by Hey wood in the longfield. ’ Ho had given a superb allround display, the only chance being one of slumping by Bagwell off Seymour just previous to bis dismissal. Gregory, by all-round play, had scored 142. Minnett was the incomer, but only three runs were added when lie played late to Woolley, and was bowled. May no and Gregory took the score to 312, when Gregory, playing a* weak stroke, was easily caugnt in the slips. His otherwise excellent innings, lasting 230 minutes, and including eleven tourers, was marred by three chances. Jennings joined Mayne, but did not shape confidently to Smith, who at 344 bowled him. Mayne had scored twenty by steady play. Kelleway stayed with Mayne till the score was 357, when the newcomer, playing back, was bowled by Thompson. Matthews did not last long, and at 368 was bowled in hitting out at Smith. Two runs later Mayne, after an unequal display, was splendidly caught on the offside at the wicket by Buswell at the second attempt. Scores: — AUSTRALIA. —First Innings.
