VOL. III NO. 139
Sydney, june 14-An Australian comment from the Nottingham Test match praises Norman Yardley's generosity in allowing Nell Harvey to substitute in the field. for Ray Lindwall.
W. O'Reilly, in the Sydney Herald, said: ", admire the generosity of England's captain, but I think it is carrying good fellowship a little too far. I would not have allowed Harvey to field for Lindwall on Saturday, nor one for Bradman at Sydney, if it had been my job to skipper those two England in Tests,"
Brian Feely, of the Mel- bourne Sun, said: "I can't see any difference between batting and fielding. So far as Lindwall's injury is concerned, he would have stayed at the wicket long as possible."-Reuter.

ENGLAND RECOVERS IN
TEST MATCH
One Run Ahead With 4 Wickets In Hand
COMPTON MAGNIFICENT
Trent Bridge, Nottingham, June 14.-Batting for long periods in atrocious light, which was sometimes so bad that it was impossible to follow the flight of the ball, Denis Compton played a magnificent innings of 154 not out and helped England to save the innings defcat in the first Test against Australia today.
England, who scored 165 in their first innings, were 345 for six at the close and had a one-run lead over Australia's first innings' total of 509.
Compton remained supreme, his innings being his highest ever against Aus-
Australian tralia and, so far, he has defied the
minutes attack for five hours 45 without giving a chance. Sheer determination and intense concentration carried him through a trying day, during which play was twice suspended through bad light and once by rain.
