Following his announcement that he would not participate in the Rhineland evacuation celebra- tions, President Hindenburg has created a further political sensa tion by authorising the Chancellor, Herr Bruening, if necessary, to defy the Reichstag in connexion with the Government's financial proposale, the adoption of which the Government considers essential in order to cover the Budget de- ficit.

Herr Bryening to-day told the Reichstag that if the financial pro- posals are not adopted, the Gov- ernment, without consulting the

HOBBS AND SUTCLIFFE BARRACKED: CROWD JEER AT APPEALS AGAINST LIGHT.
(THROUGH REUTAR'S AGENCY.}
LONDON, July 15.
The third, Test match, which was played at Leeds, ended in a draw, and so the two leading cricketing countries of the world are now on equal terms for the present series), each side having won a game.
Dismissed for 391 runs in their first knock, England were 175. runs behind, go Woodfull forced a fellow on,
Hobbs and Sutcliffe went out to start the Old Country's innings, and when the former had made the unlucky thirteen he was run out, a brilliant throw-in by Bradman at mid-off effecting his dis- missal. Hammond then joined Sutcliffe, and together they brought the score to 63 for 1 wicket, when the adjournment for tea was called.
Both batsmen played with the greatest caution, and neither took any risks whatever. Hammond made 33 runs before he was caught by Oldfield off Grimmett in attempting a late cat; incid- entally he completed his 1,000 runs in Test matches. His part- nership with Sutcliffe extended over an hour, and the score was brought to 74 for 2 when Duleepsinghi came in. He had scored ten when he gave Grimmett a "sitter" at cover point, and the googly bowler made no mistake, with the catch-54-3-10.
Crowd Jeers at Sutcliffs's Appeals.
The next man in was Maurice Leyland, and he had made only one run when Sutcliffe appealed against the light. This was up- held by the umpires after a consultation, but the crowd jeer- ed at the appeals. They had booed Hobbs and Sutcliffe earlier on and yelled, "What are you afraid of?" when they played care- fully.

Thus the match ended in a draw, which was fortunate indeed for England, and it was indeed hard on the Australians that Jupiter Pluvius should take a band when they were so well placed. Describing the end of England's first innings, Reuter says that the wicket was helping the spin bowlers, Chapman, being bowled round the legs after batting valiantly for seventy-Ave minutes. Tate was out in the same over, being caught at long-on, while, Tyldesley gave an easy catch to first-slip off Grimmett immedi- ately after sending the same bowler over the ropes for a sixer.
