With two victories and a draw to their credit in the current series, the Antipodeans have cuccessfully | Harold defended the mythical "Ashes," em~ blematie of world cricket suprem- acy which they have held since 1934. Two tests remain to be play- ed, but the results will not affect the Australians' standing. The fourth match at Adelaide is sched- uled to start Jan, 31. §till The Best In the three matches played, Don Bradman, 38-year-old Australian captain proved he has no peer as a rungetter. In four innings he hit up a total of 540 runs, including scores of 234 and 187, for an aver- age of 137.25. Eight years ago in the test series played in England, el Bradmaz scored 434 runs in six in- | gEPPEE nings, He was twige not out. Playing in his second best series, Sidney Barnes of New South Wales had an average of 85.15 runs for four innings including 234 in the second test. Barnes broke & bone in his hand on the English tour in 1938 and played in only one test. Colin McCool, young Queensland. all-rounder playing for the first time against England, finished the first three games with 'an average of $333, while Lindsay Hassett, Victoria, anotlier member of the 1938 team, had an average of 70.75. Ecol England's highly touted batsmen, Captain Wally. Hammond and Len Hutton, the noted Yorkshire player, failed completely against strong Australian bowling and the best showing was made by Bill Edrich who averaged 52.50 in six visits to the wicket. Norman Yardley, York- shire and Cambridge University amateur, had an esverage of 41.20. Hammond scored only 128 runs in the first three tests and Hutton fell 13 runs short of his. captain's ag- gregate, Hammond's average in the 1038 tests was 67.16 while Hutton amassed 473 runs for an average of 118,15, Australian bowlers were far more deadly than England's best. In the first three tests six Australians earned better averages than Yard- ley who had England's best figures. Bowling Marks Keith Miller, 27-year-old fast- bowler from Victoria state, topped the Australian list with 12 English wickets for an average of 18.08 runs, Ian Johnson took nine wickets for an average of 20.6 runs, left-hander Ernie Toshack, 11 for 22.7, Fred Freer three for 24.66.

Ebbs today, in dismissing a charge of careless driving against John Frederick Smith, 23, 43 Mc- Millan Drive. ' The charge arose out of an ac- cident at the intersection of Mill and Simcoe Streets on December 7 last, when an Oshawa Railway bus, driven by Bernard McQuaid, was in collision with a gasolipe truck, driven by the accused, "There's no doubt in my mind that the truck driven by the ac- cused did cut the corner," said 'Magistrate Ebbs. "But the bus driver coming toward the inter- section had an obligation to stop at a through street, He didn't see fit to do so." McQuaid said he was driving east on Mill Street and slowing down before coming to Simcoe. "As I got within approximately 10 feet of the intersection, I saw the gas truck turning west onto Mill Street," he testified. "Then I applied real pressure to the brakes. We collided before I actually was stopped. We were both still moving at the time of impact," McQuaid told the court. Questioned by Magisjrate Ebbs, McQuaid admitted that if he had stopped at the stop sign, the col- lision wouldn't have taken place. 'The root of the trouble and the whole accident lies in the conduct of the bus driver," contended de- fence counsel, Neil C, Fraser; K.C, Mr, Fraser suggested that the bus driver, travelling up the grade to the intersection, came up "with a swoosh and would have stovped with the nose of the bus sticking out of the intersection as most of us have seen them do." Ten-year-old Jack Harrison, passenger in the bus, testified that there was a car parked on Mill Street near the intersection just prior to the accident, Considering this evidence, Mr. Fraser argued that a large vehi. cle such as the truck could not get over to the right of the cen- tre line of Mill Street to make its turn. Crown Attorney A. C, Hall, said the bus driver had only one legal obligation; to stop at the inter- section, "It was not incumbent up- on him in any way to stop at the stop sign but before the intersec- tion, There is not a tittle of evi- dence to support the claim that there was any negligence on the part of the bus driver," Mr, Hall 'ubmitted. : NT 56) RAL ELECTRIC FLUORESCENT LAMPS, Good teaching and good lighting are part- ners in the education of our children.
