RECORD FOR TESTS

London, Aug. 23.

Australia is facing certain defeat in the fifth text at the Kennington Oval. Not only are they confronted with a mammoth total of 903, but two of their mainstays, including Bradman, are injured and doubtful batsmen. Fingleton did not fleld to-day because of a leg injury and Bradman has a sprained ankle. He allpped while fielding a hard drive, which struck the Joint, and had to be carried off the field.

England declared at the tea Interval after having lost seven wickets for 903, the highest tally ever recorded in a test match. Record after record toppled during the innings. L. Hutton, who opened the innings on Saturday, carried his colossal score to 364, beating Bradman's test record of 334, and establishlag new sixth wicket figures with another youngster, J. Hardstaff, who at the close of the Innings was still batting merrily with 169 alongside his name,

While Hutton was busy breaking Hradman's record last night, Sc.- minn Rourke, of the US.S. Sacro- mento, was similarly engaged la smashing a Hongkong record. A the Dowling Alleys, Wanchal, Rourke registered 232 and broke E. a Hearther's record of 230, which had stood practically ever since the Al- leys were opened.

McCabe came in with one down for nothing and soon rattled up 14, but then went out when he cocked an easy one up to Edrich at short leg.

Hassett came in with two down for 10 and started very confidently. He brought up the 50 in 38 minutes but after scoring 42 went out when attempting to hit Edrich sixth boundary. Ho skled one long leg where Compton took a well settled judged catch.

As Hutton approached Bradman's world highest individual score in testa (334), the Australian captain went to shortieg, but Hutton brilliantly seat O'Reilly to leg to bring his score to 315.

Hutton was in no hurry to force the pace and walled for opportuni- ties. Most of his runs came from shots behind the wicket. Hardstaff was seen to good advantage, making several good strokes.

The game was Interrupted while Bradman crossed the field and shook Hutton's hand, being followed by Hardstaff and the other Heldsmen. The incidents, how- over, did not break Hutton's concen- tration, and although he had been batting for 740 minutes--the longest in first class cricket-he immediately swept Fleetwood-Smith to the leg boundary to beat Hammond's record of 334 for tests against New

Zealand. Another record was established n few minutes later when Hardstaff glanced a ball to the boundary to bring up 730, making the total I record for any test by beal- ing the 720 for six registered by the Australians at Leeds in 1930.

Hutton then took a single past short leg and established a record English sixth wicket stand with Hardstaff, beating the performance of 180 by Hammond and Ames,
