AUSTRALIA RETAINS ASHES BY WINNING FOURTH TEST

English Batsmen Go Down Before O'Reilly And Fleetwood-Smith

London, July 25.

Australia won the fourth test on the Headingley ground, Leeds, to-day in the most amazing game for years.

On a wicket sald to be good, except for a few spots, England collapsed completely and within an hour, most of their bright chance of winning had disappeared. Batsman after batsman falled before O'Reilly and Fleetwood-Smith, and three, Including tho English captain, Hammond, went first ball.

The innings closed at 123. In the last 65 minutes, England lost nine wickets for only 50 runs.

Australia, however, opened as badly, and soon had four of their best wickets, including Bradman and McCabe, down for 61. Hossett made a stand and took the score to within nine of the required number when rain stopped play, but it was only for eight minutes and the necessary runs quickly followed,

Australia thus retains the Ashes, Irrespective of the fifth test, which will be played to a finish at the Cval.

The test will go down as the most remarkable for many years as in 270 minutes of play, 15 wickets fell for only 181 runs.
