Allen Takes Bradman's Off-Stump
Brilliant Play By McCabe
SEVEN WICKETS DROP FOR 267
With England having won two matches and Australia ons in the present Test' series, Australia did not fare too well in the fourth match when they elected to bat on what seemed to be an easy wicket. At close of the first day's play Australia bad lost seven wickets for 287..
''Don Bradman, who appeared to be settling down for another, of his biz scores, had his off-stump dislodged by Allen after he had made 26. Fingleton and Oldfield were both run out. McCabe played a brilliant innings for 88 when he was caught by Allen. Brown 42 and Chipperfield 45 not out were the other prin- cipal contributors.
'Adelaide, Jan. 29. A crowd of 25,000 attended an hour before the Fourth Test was due to start this morning in sunny and warm weather. Australia won the toss and went in to bat on an easy-paced wicket.

Visit By The Governor
His Excellency the Governor paid a visit on Thursday morning to the Sailors' and Soldiers' Home in Wanchal, His Excellency, being received by the President of the Home (the Rev. E. C. H. Tribbeck), Commander G. D. Arbuthnot, RN.. (the Naval representative on the General Committee of the Home), the Rev. Donald B. Childe (who is taking, over Mr. Tribbeck's duties pending the appointment of his successor) and members of the Committee of the Homs.
Sir Andrew Caldecott made a thorough inspection of the pre- restaurant. mises, visiting the kitchens, dormitories and recrea tion rooms. He spent some time in the vocational training school where he was much interested in the sectionalised Austin Twelve... motorcar used for the motor course; in the marine engineering room, where he inspected the vari- ous models and drawings; he also commented on the attractiveness of the Quiet Room, which was furnished by Sir William Shenton as a farewell, gift to the Home. He was especially attracted by the photograph of His Late Majesty King George and Queen Mary, personally signed by them, which was presented to the Home by Engineer Rear-Admiral Anstey The King replied: "I solemnly (whose death has just occurred). promise so to do.”
The visit lasted for nearly an hour.
"Will you solemnly promise and swear to govern the people of this United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and the Dominions thereto belonging, according to the statutes in Parliament, agreed on. und the respective laws and cus- toms of the same."
Now that the Dominions enjoy equal status with the Mother Country it is felt that the words "and the Dominions thereto be longing" are no long applicable. "
