SURREY GOES CHEAPLY

AUSTRALIA LOSES FIVE 1 WICKETS FOR 332 | CRICKET AT THE OVAL United I*.A.—By Telegraph —Copyright j Reed. 10.15 a.m. LONDON, Thurs. ( When play was resumed at the Oval ! today between the Australian cricket- 1 ers and Surrey the weather was fiDe. j At stumps yesterday Surrey had lost five wickets for 140. Fender failed to add to his score i before being caught by Fairfax off Grimmett. Gregory was also soon out : in the same way. The remaining batsmen did little. Baldwin was caught by Woodfull off Fairfax before he had scored. Peach was bowled by Grimmett for seven, and Brooks was also caught off Grimmett for four. Allom was not out for five. With six extras the total reached 162. Grimmett today took four wickets for two runs off six overs, live of wffiich were maidens, as the wicket was bad. Fairfax accompanied Woodfull to the wicket and received the first over. The ball was kicking dangerously and an hour’s play produced only 31. Woodfull scored only three in 40 minutes, and Fairfax seven. FORCEFUL BATTING After lunch the pitch became easier and the batsmen were more forceful. Woodfuli’s 50 took 110 minutes, and the side’s 100 appeared five minutes later. Fairfax tried to pull a straight ball and w r as out. Bradman had a short stay, being caught at square leg. Kippax and Woodfull were now together. The latter continued to score steadily. Kippax was also attractive and Surrey’s total was passed with eight wickets in hand. Woodfull completed his fourth century of the tour by swinging Gregory to the boundary. He gave a chanceless display and scored freely. After lunch with 200 up in even time, Kippax returned an easy catch to Peach. Woodfull and McCabe helped themselves to the tired bowling. The latter was bowled after a dashing innings. Jackson started shakily. Woodfull, after batting for 265 minutes and scoring 11 four’s, was dismissed when attempting a lofty drive. A’Beckett raced away from Jackson, though he came in five minutes later. The scores are: SURREY First Innings 162 Bowling.—Wall, 0-19; A’Beckett, 1-41; Grimmett, 6-24; Fairfax, 1-2 C; McCabe, 0-17; Hurwood, 2-29.
