AUSTRALIA v. WARWICKSHIRE,

AN EVEN GAME. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. London, May 31. The match Australia v. Warwickshire was resumed to-day. Rain hu(l faTTen early in the morning, and the wicket was slower and the weather threatening. Charlesworth, the Warwickshire player, was lame, and Parsons fielded as his substitute. Jennings, who had made 41, and Macartney, who "had 36 to his credit, faced the bowling of Field and Foster. They continued to make a good stand, and had added 65 to their overnight score when Jennings was cleverly caught by the wicket-keeper on the legside. He had given for 96 minutes an attractive and clean display. He hit eight fours, and gave no chance. Macartney had made 61. When at 50 he gave a chance at short-leg to Baker off Foster. Two overs later Bardslcy was taken by a low catch at short-leg. Gregory had bad luck. He played a ball J,o cover-point, and called to Macartney to run, but the latter refused. Quaife returned smartly to the wicket-keeper, and Gregory was run out. He gave a delightful exhibition of defence, with strong hitting and judicious plav. lie was in for 160 minutes, and hit nine fours. Matthews was taken second ball at nation. When he had scored seven, Smith was "beaten by Jeeves, but the ball missed the wicket. Nine runs later he was I caught by his namesake at the wickets.' Kelleway was taken by the wicket-keeper next over. At lunch the score was eight wickets for 208. A tremendous downpour occurred during the interval, and as it showed no signs of abatement, stumps wers drawn. The following are the scores:— WARWICKSHIRE. First innings 275 AUSTRALIA.—First Innings.
