TEST" ENDS IN A DRAW POSEIDON DISASTER ROUND THE WORLD
ENGLAND'S POOR SHOWING IN SECOND
INNINGS.
HAMMOND BATS WELL FOR THE OLD
COUNTRY.
(THROUGH HEUTER'S AGENCY.]
London, June 30,
The Test match between England and New Zealand ended in a draw. England fared badly when they went in again, the score standing at 148 for 5 when stumps, were drawn.
Arnold and Bakewell again started for England in the second innings, but although they showed an improvement on their first effort, they did none to well, Bakewell falling, victim to a catch by Blunt off Cromb when the total stood at 02; his partner was caught and bowled by Blunt without any addition to the total.
Hammond got going almost immediately from the start of his knock and the Gloucester, star" treated the spectators to some pretty cricket, knocking up 46 in seventy-five minutes. His innings was described as absolutely flawless and during his stay at the wickets, he sent the ball to the ropes on six occasions. Duleep sinhji was his partner for a time' but when the total was taken to 94, the latter was dismissed by a catch behind the sticke off All- Scott,."
Duleep" had only scored 11 runs.
WOOLLEY COMES AND GOES.
After his fino display in the first innings, great things were expected of Woolley when he joined the Gloucester crack but here "Frank" disappointed for after ho had gathered but ning runs, Cromb bowled him with a beauty-105-4-9.
Time was getting short now but after Ames joined Hammond, these two carried the score to 144 for 6 when the latter was run. out. He was unfortunate in losing his wicket in this manner as he had been playing perfect cricket all the time and gave the im- pression that ho was never going to get out. Ames now had his. captain as partner and the two played out time although the latter had not yet opened his account' when stumps were "drawn.
