IJahtUnn (Snsstp. The abstract and brief chronicle of the time. — Hamlet. T h e Australians have played their last game and their record is :— Matches, 39 ; won, 13 ; lost, 4 ; drawn, 22. Th ey have w on the toss 19 times and lost it 20 times. A review of their tour w ill be found on page 428. I t is more than likely that five m inutes’ m ore play on M on d ay afternoon would have seen the side beaten for the fifth time, for w hen stumps were draw n the E n g lan d side required only six runs to w in and had four wickets in hand. A s a curiosity it m ay be mentioned that Y o g lcr appeared for the home side but, in view o f the South A frican tour through A u s­ tralia fifteen m onths hence, d id not bow l in either innings. In justice to the Australians it should be pointed out that, quite early in the first innings o f 'the E n g la n d side, they lost the services of Cotter, who strained a knee and was obliged to retire. H is absence naturally handicapped the side to no sm all extent, and in the circumstances a draw was perhaps the most satisfactory result pos­ sible, especially as the team, had it bee'n beaten, w ould have been defeated owing largely to the efforts o f a fellow -country­ man, Tarrant. N o official statement has been made concerning the financial result o f the tour, as the accounts must first be placsd before the Australian Board o f Control. M a n y of the matches were ruined by the weather, and it is not expected that the net profit w ill exceed .£ 4 0 0 per man. S ix members o f the team w ill return in the Orient s.s. O rs o v a and five others in the M o n g o lia . Th e latter w ill visit Singapore, the north coast of Australia, and possibly Japan en ro u te . Laver, I understand, w ill visit B e rlin before jo in ­ ing his boat at B rin d isi. A pleasant and safe journey to one and a l l ! A lbekt C otter bow led 107 no-balls during the tour. M r .
