Australians In Strong Position Against Yorks
Sheffield, June 21.-The Australians, at the end of to- day's play, are in a strong position in their match against Yorkshire. They dismissed Yorkshire at tea time for 206 runs and when stumps were drawn the tourists had put on 132 runs for the loss of one wieket. Bradman, who is 66 not out, seems set for another century.
After a shower had held up the resumption of play after lunch for ten minutes, a wicket fell to the secomi ball, Watson edging a catch to the wicket-keeper. This brought in Coxon and about 20,000 people gave a fine welcome to the surprise England Test choice.
