AUSTRALIANS v. YORKSHIRE,

United Press ABsooiablon—By Elsotrie Telegraph—Copyright

London, June 3

An hour's pay sufficed the Yorkshire! to pub together the forty seven runi required to win, at the loss of five wickets. Brown and Tunnicliffa were the first t» bat, Howell dismissirg the former by a catch off .Noble; one for nine, Howell then clean bowled Tuunioliffe—- two for nineteen. Denton and Taylor carried the total to twenty five, a nice catch by Gregory ending Denton's career—three for twenty five Jacksons next partner hhip was dissolved by Noble finding Taylor's timbers—four for thirty ninei The fifth wicket fell for forty one, Kelley etching Jackson off Howell, Washington joined Hirst, who had not broken his duck, the new comer quickly putting up the fishing touches. He hit Howell to square leg for four, and drove Noble to ih«on for five, bringing up fifty. Howell and Noble bowled unchanged, and Yorkshire won by five wickets.
