AUSTRALIA LOOK SET
FOR VICTORY
BATTLE OF WITS BETWEEN ALLEN AND BRADMAN BRILLIANT LOCAL BOWLING FEATS
THE
(By "Adrem "*)
Third Test match at Melbourne has ap- parently developed into a battle of wits be- tween G. O. Allen and Don Bradman. The lat- ter won the toss and elected to bat on a soft wic- ket in sunny weather that gave promise of be- ing of assistance later on to spin bowlers. This must have been most apparent as Bradman, on McCormick's injury recurring, brought Sievers back into the side and actually fielded an eleven with no bowler faster than McCabe.
Miss Iris Woolley, left, gave a dine exhibition in last Saturday's Ladies' Interport hockey trial and standa a good chance of making the Colony Interport team. Miss-Marion Bryson, right, the former Colony and CB.A. Ladies' centre-half, will be badly missed in the pivotal position. She is at present in England.
