HOW ENGLAND WON AT

MIS-HITS GREETED AS CATCHES THRILLING END
TRIBUTE TO GENIUS OF VERITY
The thrilling fmish of the second Test match at Lord's, when England won by an innings, is vividly described here by Rabert Lynd, the famous special correspondent of the News-Chronicle. In this article he gives lively pen pictures of the excitement which gripped the crowd on the last day of play, when Hedley Verity swept through the Australian batsmen.
the There was some excuse for wild rush of the crowd on Lo thea ground at Lord's when the last Aus- tralian wiekot had failen, and Eng land, contrary to all anticipation had beaten Australia by an innings and

stumps, was caught in the wild whirl of humanity, and had to be arrested by policemen who pushed him through the crowd to the pavilion.
The mob, foiled of its prey, gathered round the pavilion gate in ever-in- creasing thousanda and hewied, “We want Verity, We want Verity."
DROWN THE FIRST VICTIM. This was nothing, however, to the how that went up when Verity up- peared, and more hats than 1 thought- existed in London were waved cestati. cally in the air in homage to the Mon Who Won the War.
It may be argued by some, I wijs: pose, that the real hero of the match was the English climate. But, just as the defeat of the Spanish Armada is no less stirring an episode because the English weather came dutifully to the aid of the English sido, so Eng- land's defeat of Australia was none the less thrilling yesterday because the game was played on a pitch that would have undone the batsmanship of W. G. Grace himself.
Australin now needed only 33 runs to save the follow-un, and throw tafl-j end batsmen were left to make them. Could she do it agninat Verity's bowl- ing on such a pitch-the perfect called it jewellery of bowling, да потсоде
When the King came on to the field to be introduced to the players, one almost feared that the interruption might have the same "fatal effect on the batsmen as the ten interval.
The crowd was now breathless

every time fielder in the slips held a ball off a batsman's pads. If the crowd had been pire, it would undoubtedly have given the entire Australian team out twice over before lunch time.
This was a measure of the tensity of keenness with which the spectator watched a match that had become a exelting as race.

BIG O'REILLY'S LITTLE JOKE.
When I arrived at the ground in the morning I was doubt whether we should see any play at all. The English feiders came out punctually at 11 into a soggy mist, followed by MeCabe and Brown, and no sooner did the batsmen take a look at the light Big Bill O'Reilly came in with the than they appealed against and the air of a left-handed slogger, and players and umpires trooped slowly Verity sent most of the fielders cut back to the pavillon, while a few res-to wait for catches on the boundary. tive members of the crowd protested: "No!

Twenty minutes Inter the proces sion returned to the field, each of the batamen wearing a wealer. Bowen, large of frame, with a mop of towy hair and wearing «pectacles, opened the bowling, and in his second over: was. sent high by MeCabe to the
boundary.
O'Reilly took a territe swipe at the ball and missed it and then took an imaginary swipo at the ball he had mlased vicious swipe-making the ensily amused cricket crowd roar with laughter.
