We are now going to broadcast a description of the third Test Match
between England and Australia at Adelaide through the creutesy [courtesy (handwritten)]of the manu-
facturers of GILLETTE razors and blades.

We think you may be interested to know why the new slotted Gillette blade
gives such much better results than any other; owing to its conformation
it is possible to give a different temper to the steel at the edge of the
blade to that in the centre. With the three hole blade the steel had to be
the same temper throughout and if the steel had been made ideally hard the
blades would have cracked in the holder.

But with the new slotted blade the steel round the slots can be left
fairly soft so that it will not crack and yet a very hard steel is obtained
at the sides which will take a finer cutting edge than has ever been possible
before. This is the result of years of experiment on the part of the GILLETTE
engineers.

If you have not tried the new slotted Gillette blade, buy a packet to-day
and prove to yourself that it gives a keener shave and lasts longer than any
blade you have previously tried. Make sure you ask for the slotted Gillette
blades which fit all types of Gillette razors.

Australia lst innings - all out 222
England 4 for 1 wicket

In fine and rather warmer weather 25,000 people saw the start of the play today. There
has apparently been some rather bitter feeling caused by Woodfull's injury on Saturday and
although Mr. Warner this morning issed a statement saying that the incident was all over
and forgotten, we understand that Mr. Woodfull stated on Saturday that he considered that
the leg theory form of attack of Larwood with the incidental risk of injury, was not in
the best interests of the game. We understand that this statement of Mr. Warner has not
been endorsed by Mr.Woodfull and the Australian officials refuse to comment on the matter.
It would appear, therefore, as though there is still some bitternes and the course of
today's play is not likely to have improved the situation.

Shortly after the start of the game Richardson played on to a ball of Allen's and the
Australian hopes of a big 5th wicket stand were shattered. Ponsford reached 50 after 122
minutes play and although the bowling was frequently changed Ponsford and Oldfield began
to build up an effective partnership. They were both very cautious and the scoring was
slow, but although the field was very well placed the runs came along steadily. The
