504-8 DEC.
WOODFULL'S DOUBLE CENTURY.
London, Yesterday. Continuing their innings to-day at Cambridge, the Australians ad- vanced their score from 179-2 to
504-8 at which point the closure was applied.
The wicket played easily, and the bowling was handicapped an account of the over-eagerness shown by the undergraduates. Runs come at a good pace and a bright partnership between W. M. Woodful and S. McCabe placed the tourists in an impregnable position. McCabe added 31 to his overnight score before being dis- missed within four run of his first century in England. - This is the second time that this youngster has reached the 90's. and it was exceedingly unfortun- ale considering his all-round dis- play. At Oxford, he scored 91 against the 'Varsity. W. M. Woodfull had the distinction of acoring a double century-his first of the season and the fourth of the tour. His batting display was marked by sound defensivé end forceful, strokes.
Requiring 359 to save the lan- ings defeat, the 'Varsity made a disastrous start, losing three wie- kets for 42 runs. To-day, Cam- bridge, with seven wickets.in band' enter upon the task of scoring 317 runs. Scores:-
Cambridge U. 145 (S. McCabe
4-35) and 42-3. Australians: 501-8 dee. (W. M. Woodfull 216, S. McCabe 96).
