FIZZLES DRAW

England Declare Again, Tourists Play Out Time

HEADLEY FAILS

Hutton Reaches 2,000 Runs

London, To-day-There were further interruptions owing to rain in the Second Test match which concluded yesterday in a draw despite another declaration by W. R. Hammond, England's skipper, in an effort to force a victory.

The Tourists were set to score 160 runs for victory in only 70 minutes, but after R.S. Grant had been dismissed by Bowes off the first ball of the innings, they evidently decid- ed to play for a draw and at close of play had scored '43 for the loss of four wickets.

West Indies' innings started sensation- ally, R. S. Grant, the skipper, being snapped up by Hardstaff at backward- point off Bowes' first ball.

The Tourists then received the death-knell to any hopes of victory they may have fostered when George Headley, their one big hope, was taken by Hammond off Copson with the score only 11.

West Indies showed great improve ment in their form of the Lord's Test and can be said to have more than held their own against the powerful and well-balanced England team.

CRICKET BALL EXPERIMENT

During the last M.C.C. tour in Aus- tralia, balls of both Australian and English manufacture in some cases did not give satisfaction.

At the request of the Australian Board of Control, the M.C.C. have agreed to give trial to several makes of balls of Australian manufacture, submitted by the Australian authori- ties, to ascertain which of these, if any, would be suitable to be used during future tours in Australia.

As one part of the experiment, these balls were tried in the recent Gentlemen v. Players match. There is, naturally, no suggestion, that any balls except those of English manu- facture should be used in first-class cricket in England. Our Own Cor-
