SECOND TEST MATCH

England's Batting Collapses

143 RUNS BEHIND WITH ONE WICKET IN HAND

Lords, London, June 25.-England lost nine wickets in scoring 207, runs in reply to the Australians' first innings total of 350 when stumps ware drawn on the second day of the second test.

The story of the Lords Test has become a replica of England's batting disaster in the first match at Nottingham. Australia wrested the initiative without any challenge from Yardley's men.

There can be no excuses. The pitch was fast and true, and England crumbled' against some very fine bowling by Lindwall, Ian Johnson and Bill Johnston.

Lindwall worked up a speed of delivery which was the fastest seen In England zince Harold Larwood's dnym. Probably faster than any other bowler in the world today. Lindwall slipped In the occasional extra fast one that left the English batsmen helpless.

PARKER ELIMINATED

Bergelin Scores Biggest Upset Of The Year

Wimbledon, June 25-Twenty-three year old tall, blonde Lennart Bergelin, Sweden's No. 1 lawn tonnis player, scored the greatest victory of his career in the fourth round of the men's singles of the Wimbledon championships today when he knocked out, the No. 1 seeded player, Frankie Parker, of America, in just over three hours,

Bergelin won 6-7, 7-5, 9-7, 0-0, 10-8.

This was the second major upset of the week, follow- ing the defeat of the Czech ace, Jaroslav Drobny, at the hands of Glano Cucelli,

Despite all the thrills of the first four sets, the last of which Bergelin seemed to surrender in order to conserve himself for the final struggle, the chief excitement came in the fifth, when the Swede fought back from being 3-5 down.
