AUSTRALIANS THWARTED BY E. W. DAWSON
London, May 8,
IN between the showers during the past three days, first class cricket offered some interest- ing play, with batsmen and bowlers in rare struggles for supremacy.
BUT for the rain, Notts and Lancashire would
probably have garnered the full points in- stead of being forced to take first innings honours. However there were definite results The in the three other county engagements. friendly encounters in which the Australians, M.C.C., and Oxford figured, were all left drawn. BATSMEN shared the honours with bowlers. Nine
willow-wielders reached three figures, and two others missed the mark after reaching the nineties. Ten bow. lers enjoyed varying successes, with Lewis, a Kent colt, leading the way with 8 for 58.
