MAMMOTH SCORES
EXPECTED
Fourth Cricket Tost Starts To-day
Leeds, July 22.
No rain has fallen here since Sun- day and the wicket for the Fourth Cricket Test between England and Australia is expected to produce mammoth scores if the weather holds.
The groundsman has sounded a warning, however. The wicket is natural enough to become a sticky bog if suficient roin falls.
Police will guard the wicket every night.
All seats to the value of £,500 were sold months ago and a capa- cily crowd of 40,000 is anticipated.
The first two Tests were drawn and the third was washed out by rain. The fourth commences to-day,- Reuter.
