A Struggle For Runs: Early Australian Failures
(Special Air Mail Service)
London, June 22. There was an interesting day's play here yesterday when the Gentlemen of England" began their match against the Australians. The Gentlemen, who won the loss. went. In first with,, a side weak- ened by injuries, but even so they did not distinguish themselves, scoring only 17 on a good pitch against an Australian elever that did not include O'Reilly.
Before the match began it might not have been" unfairly described Cracks" The B5 "Crocks ▼ "erocks." it is to be feared, were the Gentlemen of England. who had to make no fewer than four changes from the team that had fist been announced, First the Nawab of Pataudi and M. J. Turn- bull were indisposed; then G. O. Allen injured his finger; and last vof all, R. E: S. Wyatt, the original Injured captain, found that his thumb" was still troubling him.

CF. Walters took over the captaincy, and the four abseritces were replaced by E R. T. Holmes, the Surrey captain; W. G: Lowndes, captain of Hamp-tlemen of England" assumed shire; B. H. Lyon, captain of Gloucestershire; and E. W, Daw- son, late captain of Leicestershire. It is no disparagement to them to describe a team with as many as four casualties of "crocks."

Brown gradually settled down to some lusty and characteristic hitting, and with a Little well reserved luck he had scored 31 out of 48 the biggest partnership as yet-before he was very well caught by Kippax at long on, fielding very wide. The score was then 120. G. E. Lock was soon out leg before wicket to McCabe.
