THE LAST TEST
MATCH.
BAD END TO THE DAY,
HOBBS' MAGNIFICENT CENTURY.
{THROVON REUTER'S AGENCY.]
MELBOURNE, March 9th. For the Fifth Test, Match England had to take the field without her captain, as Chapman is not fit and baa put himself down as twelfth man. Sutclife is also standing down, and the two vacancies have been filled by Tyldesley and Lay land.
J. C. White gave England a good opening by winning the toss, and sent in Hobbs and Jardine to face the bowling of Wall and Horni brook. This pair of bowlera gave Davida most convincing dieplay, both keeping a fine length and showing plenty of speed, and the Australian attack looked inore dangerous than at any time since the Brisbane match.

Kowloon are still trying to get forwards who can score and in view of their Shield game with Chins Athletle next work have tried out new forwards. With the 'Small Units as opponents to-day on the Railway ground, the re-arranged forward line should give a good showing. Kowloon should win

Honda qualified for, this by beating Barrow yesterday, the scores being 6-1, 8-2, 12-10. A pro- longed struggle was also sea in this match and Barrow is to be congratulated for extending the champion in the third set.
S. A. Rumjaho made his initial appearance in the Open Singles, meeting W. C. Hang whom he beat in straight acts. The latter opened well, and led at 31, and levelled after being 5-3 down, but that prosed his best effort, Rumjaha winning the set at 7-3 and taking the follow ing two sets easily.
