CHAPMAN AGAIN LUCKY IN SPIN: LARWOOD ABSENT AND HOBBS OUT EARLY.

(THROUGH BRUTER'S AGENCY.).

LONDON, June 27.

The weather was fine and the wicket perfect for the opening day of the second Test at Lord's, and the crowd of 20,000 gasped with disappointment when it was announced that Larwood, Eng land's fast bowler, was not it enough to take part in the game.

There was no change in the Australian team, the men who did daty for them in the previous game again taking the field this

Chapman Wins the Toss.

Chapman was again lucky in winning the toss and elected to brt, sending in Hobbs and Woolley to open the innings.

There was much conslernation when Hobbs, after he had made only one run, was deverly taken by Oldfield behind the sticks in attempting to playback to Fairfax. This was a disastrous start for England, the stort board now reading 13-1-1.

Hammond joined Woolly, and these two played well together, the 50 being hoisted after three-quarters of an hour's play. Then the left-hander "was very nicely taken at point by Wall of Fair- "Frank" brought fnx, and two wickets ware down for 53 runs. off some brilliant off-drives and cuts, and during his stay at the wickets found the ropes seven times.

The next man in was Duleepsinghi, the brilliant Sussex bats- man, who was making his first appearance in England-Australia Tests, and he at once settled down to play polished cricket. To- gether with Hainmond, the newcomer brought the score to 100 amid much applause after play had been in progress for 83 minutes. Although Hammad was quite at home against the other. bowlers, he showed a distinct dislike for Grimmett, who was tying him up with some wily slow 'uns, and, in attempting to play for- ward to a legbreak," the, Gloucester "crack" had his stumps dis- turbed by this bowler. The score was now 105 for three men out and the partnership had produced 30 runs in 53 minutes. Ham- mond brought off some very nice square cuts, four of which found the boundary.

Hendren joined "Duleep," who was well-set by this time, and the Middlesex man also showed that he was not affected by the importance of the ocession by going for the bowling from the very start. Both men now went about their business of run-get- ting in real earnest, and it was not till after the 200 was signalled that "Pat" was caught by McCabe off Fairfax, who claimed three out of the four wickets that had fallen up to the lunch ins terval.
