But engagements adopted defensive tactics." prevented it and it is rather n thankless task anyway to have to write a critical account within few minutes of the bowling of the last ball of a game. I did not get over on Saturday afternoon, but I gathered one or two details. Apparently Hung had rather hard fle burled lines over his enteb. himself forward at one from Thorp and just got his hands under it at short leg. The bowler's umpire, however, was unsighted-presumably by the other lateinas, and appeal. ed to the square leg umpire, who, standing behind Hung, of course, could not see accurately.

A Ghastly Start. The Army took the declaration in the sporting, way and went out lo force a win. They had a horrible start as in Lyal's first over Thorp hit inside an off ball and lifted it right out to kruie Fincher at third man, who took the catch safely. In the same bowler's third over Dewar Durie touched one on the off and was taken at first slip.

Grimmitt won the toss and put the Indians in to field under a very hot sun. Matthews, and McGowan opened the innings, and after the 4,11.20 | Inttor had been lot off before any runs had been scorvil, they went où to put on something like thirty runs for no wickets. Then two wickets fell, in quick succession, but with 90 on the board for only four men out, things, looked definitely rOBY for the visitors. However, the rent of the team failed and they were eventually all out for 118 runs,
