SOUTHERN MALAYA ELEVEN'S POOR SHOW.

ANOTHER FINE DISPLAY BY CONGDON,

SEREMBAN, June 8th. There was only a small crowd to witness the start of the match be- tween the Australian XI and Southern Malaya, but the attend- adee was better in the afternoon.

Macartney and Adams were pre- vented from turning out, Thane and Vasey acting as substitutes, whilst Andrews, took over the cap. tainey of the Australian aide.

The day was very sunny and the Australians seems to feel the heat in the morning.

Congdon's was a very bright in- pings, the batsman playing confid- ently.

The Australian innings was unin- teresting on the whole, Bardsley in particular putting up -very stolid show, hitting only very occasionally. Rofe was responsible for some" pretty hits to leg while Sullivan, during his short stay, treated the spectators to some kreworks.

Woodfull was shaping "well a close of play. Present scores:
