R. E. S. WYATT ON THE GERMAN SHARE

THIRD TEST

Why England Did Not Force Win

"

¡Special Air Mail Service)

Lendon, July 11. The third Test match dwindled sadly to a draw at Old Trafford, writes a correspondent. It will be remembered as the match of lost opportunities. "If the English fieldsmen had held their catches we might have a very different story to tell,

This, too, is the opinion of Eng- land's captain, R. ES: Wyatt, who sald. after the match:

It all began at 11.20 in the'morn- ing when Australia, with two wic- kets to fall, needed 50 runs to save

the follow-on. Then Chipperfield, still unft but pluckily batting, was dropped by Hendren at second slip, and a golden chance had gone astray.

Follow-on Saved

Well, we must salute Australia for their gallant fight. "Wall and O'Reilly, the last two Australian batsmen. held the fort most cour- ageously and saved the follow-on. But we admired, particularly the determined innings played by Woodfull yesterday and the fine efforts of Bradman and "Chipper- feld, the Australian invalids.

I am glad to say that Bradman felded to-day, and his liveliness suggested that he has completely recovered. But those dropped cat- ches! We shall shake our heads dolefully when we remember them for many years to come.

Woodfull dropped in the slips before he had scored, and this morning, three definite chances which English fieldsmen failed to hold! The truth is that England did not deserve to win.

As an Australian cricketer said to me: "Any Test team which allows batsmen like O'Refly and Wall to stay in for more than five minutes cannot expect much sympathy."

Wooden Stand On Fire

Still, when all is said and done, what a game it has been! Packed with excitement..and played on a wicket which showed no signs of crumbling, despite the grilling

sun.

The sun alone has made it me-. morable and almost made it tra- gie, for while Sutcliffe and Walters were batting for England this af- ternoon I suddenly noticed a thin tongue of flame flekering along one of the wooden stands:

In another moment the dry structure would surely have blaz- ed up. But as the fames rose the spectators near by flapped them out with their coals, and began pouring bottles of ginger-beer up- on them. Buckets of water were soon passed along, and the blaze was quenched before it had spread more than a few fees.

something to do with it. There was a gap in the slips which looked. ominous to me when the England fast bowlers were attacking this morning. And how about the luck of the toss? Will Wyatt win the spin again at Leeds?

Widdowsen, the Old Trafford groundsmari has done his job per- fectly here, and deserves nothing but praise for producing so durable and flawless a str h of turf. I think though, that we go too far in the preparation of wickets. "It is time the bowlers were given a chance, a fact, which becomes more evident as this dry summer continues. "But wicket or no wie- ket, these Test matches are cer- tainly keeping us interested. The score is still one

CHIPPERFIELD IN

HOSPITAL

Chipperfield had a tremendous reception when he left the field and slowly walked up the steps of the members' pavilion at Old Trac- ford. When he entered he almost bumped into two people standing near the door, but a way was made for him by the crowd.

Halfway across the room he seemed to stumble, and clutched at the corner of the table. Then with bowed head, and perspira- tion streaming down his face, he quickly recovered and ran up the stairs to the dressing com.

After dressing he was taken in a car to his hotel, and shortly after- wards went in an ambulance to
