In the present series both countries. have won one match in the three played. and in the whole series, duting back to 1876. each country has had 52 triumphs,

Saturday's recovery. which Brought about by the world record third wicket partnership of 388 favored in 335 minutes) by W. H. Ponsford and Don Bradman, was yet another example of the glór-i ious uncertainty of cricket. Dur- ing the last ten minutes on Fri- day, Australia lost three valuable wickets for 2 runs and commenced play on the following day with 39 for 3 and prospects of defeat xlar- ing them in the face. At the close of play they were in a command- ing position with every prospect of forcing a win.

In Davis Cup.

AUSTRALIAN PAIR LIKELY TO OFFER STERN CHALLENGE

America is expected to reduce the 2-0 arrears in the Inter-Zone

Final Davis Cup match against Australia when George Lott and

Lester Stoeffen meet Jack Craw ford and Adrian Quist in the doubles match on the No. 1 court at Wimbledon to-day.

The American pair dethroned Borotra and Brugnon at Wimble don this year after the French- men had won the title for two successive years, but the Austra- llians also beat the French aces

in the semi-final of the Euro- pean Zone.

A win to-day for Australia will assure them of entry to the Chal- lenge Round, in which they will meet the-holders, Great Britain, at Wim- bledon next Saturday, Monday and Tuesday.

Last year Australia beat Japan to meet Britain in the European Inter- Zone Final, but were beaten 3-2. Britain then beat America and suc- ceeded against France, the holders, by 3 to 2 to win the trophy.

POLAND ARE ALMOST ASSURED OF WIN.
