LEYLAND AND AMES MAKE
GALLANT EFFORTS
After Disastrous Start By Early Batsmen
The third day's play in the final Test was featured by the dismal failure of England's batsmen with the'exception of Maur- ice Leyland and Leslie Ames but for whose efforts they would have been dismissed for a smaller total than 321 rans. Leyland played a gallant innings for 100 when things were going very bad- until ly against his side while Aines was also playing pluckily he strained a tuscle and was forced to retire. England were all out for 321 runs and although that means a lead of 380 runs on the first innings for Australia, the touriste took no chances whatever and elected to zo in again rather than force the 'fol- low on.
The day's play opened sensationally when three wickets fell rapidly for 21 runs after Walters and Sutcliffe had put on 104 for the first wicket." Bad luck doɛzed England right through her innings for not only was Ames unable to resume his 'in- nings after he had been attended to, but Bowes was also pre- vented from going in by a fistula.
The Australians gave nothing away in the field and specula-` tion was rife as to whether Woodfull would force a follow on When England's innings came to an end.. His decision to go in again did not come altogether as a surprise and at the close of play Australia had collected 186 for the loss of two wickets, thus even if they should declare their innings closed, and this is not considered as likely, England will have to face the stupendous task of making 567 runs in the fourth innings for a win.

AUSTRALIA BATS AGAIN
When England went out to deld for the second time, Gregory and McMurray were the substitutes for } Ames and Bowes. Ponsford and Brown opened Australia's innings, while Clark was given the ball to start the attack for England. He exploited the leg theory with But cliffe, Hammond, Verity, Allen and Gregory fielding on the leg side.
Ponsford was uncomfortable against the fast bowler and was jeered by the crowd when he duck-
ed unnecessarily. "Brown....was
caught by Allen off Clark with the score at 13, the outgoing batsmen's score being just a single.
Bradman Amia Bradman came in to fill the breach and he at once settled down! to play comfortably against the fast bowler. With the score at 42 he lost his partner when Ponsford was bowled by Hammond for 22. Then; came the brightest cricket of the day. McCabe joined Bradman and the two, scaring freely, sent the hundred up after play had been in progress for 82 minutes. Bradman was in irresistible form and sent Clark out of the ground for a beau- tiful sixer.
England's attack without Bowes lacked sting, but it must be said that the batsmen were masterly and at the close of play they had added 144 without further loss

BOWLING ANALYSIS
London, Aug. 21. Nearly twenty thousand people were present at the Oval when the third day's play in the final Test sensational manner, opened in England losing three wickets ra- pidly on what was described as a perfect wicket.

Walters (59) and Sutcliffe (31), resumed the overnight, not outs England's innings, and mindful of their splendid exhibition on the previous afternoon, the crowd were not slow in giving this pair a tremendou. welcome.
