THIRD CRICKET TEST DRAWN: ENGLAND WIN RUBBER

Waller Hammond.

bcal railman's record:

Raco Doclared Void: No Runners

Derby, Aug. D.

In the specified three quarters of an hour before the start there were no declara- tions to run for any of the 15 horses coloured on the card for the "Harrington Plate at Derby, which was worth £250 to the winner, £30 to the second, and:£20 to the third.

The race had to be declared vold for lack of starters, a rare thing for a handicap, although walk-overs are frequent in produce races. The day bo- fore there were two runners only at Derby for a race which closed for entries three years ago.

.The curious thing about the void race was that the touts had reported the overnight arrival of three of the runners.

Len Hutton scored 165 mut olf.

Doublos Title

As might have been expected after the second day's play, the Third and Final Test between England and the United States Mixed West Indies at the Oval ended yester- day in a draw. Thus England, having won the First and drawn the other two Tests, win the rubber.

:

In reply to England's first innings total of 352, the tourists scored 498. But whatever hopes they had of forcing a win in the remaining day of play were dashed when Hutton 'and Hammond were associated in a record-breaking third wicket stand of 264, which took the English score from 77 to 341. Hutton was 165 not out at the finish while Hammond, in scoring 138, beat Don Bradman's

record of 21 Test centuries.
