SURREY’S FAIR START

PLAY WITH AUSTRALIA AT THE OVAL FIVE DOWN FOR 140 j United F.A.—By Telegraph— Copyright | Reed. 10.5 a.m. LONDON, Wed. j The Australian cricketers todav commenced the 14th match of their | tour, meeting Surrey at the Oval for I the second time. j The weather was sultry and the I wicket in good order. The teams are: ! Australia.—Woodfull, Bradman, K>pi pax, Fairfax, McCabe, A’Beckett, Jaek- , son, Grimmett, Wall, Hunvood and | Walker. J Surrey.—Hobbs, Sandham, Fender, Allom, Barling, Shepherd, Wilson. I Gregory, Baldwin, Peach, Brooks } Surrey won the toss and elected to j bat. Hobos and Sandham opened. | The opening pair batted steadily, i though Hobbs was obviously tired after the test. He reached forward to Grimmett I and was easily stumped, i _ The score was still 34 when the j Grimmett-Walker combination had au- | other success, Barling flicking the ball j for the wicketkeeper to take a good catch on the leg side, i Hurwood secured Sandham’s wicket ! and then again he was unaccountably I taken off. in a bad light after lunch Grimmett had the batsmen in trouble. The hundred, however, appeared after two hours. A’Beckett in the slips missed Shepherd off Hurwood, and the stroke I made the batsman 50 in 75 minutes. Wilson attempted to hit Hurwood and lost his middle stump. Shepherd was easily caught in the slips without addition to the total. . Five wickets being down for 117, Gregory and Fender were enterprising, but a terrific thunderstorm burst at 3.35 p.m., and the ground was quickly drenched. Further play was impossible.
