FIFTH CRICKET TEST AT THE OVAL

London, Aug. 22.

With the colossal score of 634 for five wickets, England has made her position in the fifth and limitless test at Kennington Oval even brighter. The total is only two behind England's highest score in the tests, which have extended over 61 years. ·

Nearly half of England's score has come from the bat of L. Hulton, 22-year-old Yorkshire player, who opened the innings and is still undefeated with 300 alongside his name.

Maurice Leyland, the veteran returning after a long absence, justified his selection by hitting up 187 before being unluckily run out, and the English captain, Hammond, contributed a stald 59. Compton and Paynter, the other wickets, went cheaply.

Rain interfered alightly with play during the day but did. not affect the wicket which, however, aided the batsmen and O'Reilly and Fleetwood-Smith, who bore the brunt of the weakened Australian attack, maintained splendid lengths throughout.

'A New Sutcliffe

London, Aug. 22. The weather forecast for the Test match is "very cool, overcast and showery."

All the morning newspapers are of the opinion that England is now in an impregnable posi- tion. They shower bouquets on the record-breaker, Hutton, who broadcast to the nation yesterday evening.

Mr. Howard Marshall, the famous cricket commentator, writing in the London Tele- graph this morning, says "Aus- tralia must be reflecting un- easily that a new Sutcliffe has arison."

It was revealed during the interval that Fingleton had strained a muscle in his leg and would not fold again during the day in order to preserve himself for his batting. Rain de layed the resumption of play for u quarter of an hour.
