MAMMOTH SCORES

EXPECTED

Fourth Cricket Tost Starts To-day

Leeds, July 22.

No rain has fallen here since Sun- day and the wicket for the Fourth Cricket Test between England and Australia is expected to produce mammoth scores if the weather holds.

The groundsman has sounded a warning, however. The wicket is natural enough to become a sticky bog if suficient roin falls.

Police will guard the wicket every night.

All seats to the value of £,500 were sold months ago and a capa- cily crowd of 40,000 is anticipated.

The first two Tests were drawn and the third was washed out by rain. The fourth commences to-day,- Reuter.
