AUSTRALIANS v LANCASHIRE. London, May 30 The principal scores m Lancashire's first innings were :— Paul 44, Briggs 24, Sugg 25, and Hallam, not out, 13. Jones took four wickets for 69, Trumble four for 24, Giffen two for 33. The Australian score m the second innings was :— Darling 0, Donnan 8, Giffen 7, Hill 12, 1 rott 3, Gregory 54, Iredalo 6, 'J'rumble 30, Kelly 3, Jones 0. McKibbin not out 4, extras 12, total 139. Requiring 253 runs to win, the Home team began their second innings, which opened disastrously, they losing three I wickets for the small total of 4 runs. Hallam, Smith and Mold were dismissed wfrh 0 opposite their names, while Tindall was not out for 0, the only runs scored being extras. In the first innings of Lancashire, Paul and Sugg made a useful stand, and Briggs played a vigorous innings. The second Innings of the Australians opened badly, chiefly due to the marvellous work and pace Mold was getting nn the ball. They lost four wickets for 35, and the board showed 68 when six wickets had fallen } then Gregory and Trumble became associ ated, and made an invaluable stand, carrying the total to 126 before a separa tion was effected. The fielding of the local men was brilliant. With only a few mitmfcee to bat Lan cashire went to the wickets, and three wickets fell m quick (succession. Four leg-byes were scored aad then stumps were drawn for the day. Laaeashire could do nothing against the bowling of the visitors, and the innings closed for 98, the Australians winning by 154 runs. The chief scores were— Arnold 33, Ward 20, while 14 extras were registered. Jones took two wickets for 15, Giffen two for 38, Trott two for 16, Trumble three for 15. Arnold and Ward put on ,46. for the fifth wicket, but were both missed before finally disposed of. Briggs hit out for his runs, but the batting of the rest was f eeblt, and they could do nothing with the howling.
