HANKOW CHAMPIONS

the remaining three tests were lost Placid Wins Classic Race

And yet curiously enough England really ought to have won by three games to two for in two of the games they lost they were at one perlod definitely in winning position.

Even the Australiana admitted that 3-2 in Austraila's favour would have been a much fairer comparison of the respective merits of the two sides.

The cause of Australia's victory was that they had excellent batting all through which mastered the English bowling completely with the exception of Crawford, Fielder and Barnes. Actually Blythe, Rhodes, Braund quite failed to do anything with the ball in test matches, and too! truch work was thrown on to the ather three, all of whom were ex- cellent; but as Crawford and Barnes were fast medium and Fielder fast! there was the lack of variety.
