RECORDS BROKEN IN FIFTH CRICKET TEST AT THE OVAL

London, Aug. 22.

With the colossal score of G34 for five wickets, England has made her position in the fifth and limitless test. al 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. Hutton, 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 staid 59. Compton and Paynter, the other wickets, went cheaply.

Rain Interfered slightly 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 wenkened Australian attack, maintained splendid lengths throughout.
