England XI Forced To
Follow On
SENSATIONAL COLLAPSE IN FIRST INNINGS
Rain Makes Mire Of Melbourne Wicket
ENGLAND, 365 RUNS IN ARREARS, WERE COM- PELLED TO FOLLOW ON IN THE TEST MATCH AT MELBOURNE THIS MORNING, AND THEY SOON LOST TWO WICKETS IN THEIR SECOND INNINGS FOR 21 RUNS. AT THE TEA INTERVAL THE SCORE WAS 101 FOR 3.
On a rain-soaked wicket, England could only, add 55 runs to their overnight score, the innings closing at 239, a deficit of 365 runs.. The last five of England's wickets fell for 17 runal
Hardstaff alone made anything of a stand, being final. ly disposed of for 83, compiled in a courageous innings against heavy odds. O'Reilly was the most successful of the Australian bowlers, returning an average of 5 for 51; this morning he took three wickets for 18, Nash's aver- age was 4 for 70.
Melbourne, Mar. 2.
Overnight thunder showers and light rain this morning soaked the wicket and delayed the resumption of the fifth Test.
Later the rain cleared, but the weather remained sultry with the sky overcast. Further rain appeared likely and the wicket was soft with the outfield damp.
Bowlers picked up chunks of mud with their boots as they ran up to the wicket.
Hardstaff and Wyatt continued the English innings with the score at 184 for 4. Wyatt was 20 not out and Hardstaff 73.

Madrid, March 2.
At midnight the insurgent guns along the entire Madrid front opened a tremendous barrage, sending ten to twelve shells a minute crashing into the city. There, fire sirens screemed as engines raced to blazing buildings Four tremendous detonations were heard at the front, apparently, from mines.
It is recalled that in a recent radio broadcast General Del Lano declared rebel troops would sweep into Madrid on March 2.
