(Received 11 a.m.) LONDON, July 21. ; The cricket match, Australia v. ; West of Scotland, was continued this I morning at Glasgow. When stumps were drawn on Satur- ; clay West of .Scotland had lost six wi ■- r kets for 140 runs, Ackroyd (12) being not out. ; On resuming tlie local captain declared : his side's innings closed and the Aus- ! tralians batted. ! Ponsford and Woodfull opened and when Ponsford had scored six lie was ' bowled by Baxter. Bradman then joined I Woodfull and batting freely quickly ; made runs. At the luncheon adjournment Brad--1 man had more than doubled Woodfull's total. His batting delighted the 5000. " spectators. Tlio bowling was sadly 1 deficient in length, and the pair added ' 198 runs for the second wicket, giving i the fieldsmen a lively time. Jackson and a'Beckett added G7 runs for the sixth wicket, but otherwise the batsmen shaped badly. As the match was limited to two days, it ended in a draw. Scores:— WEST OF SCOTLAND.—First Innings.

UMPIRES ROASTED. Two ex-'Varsity Cricketers in The Role of Critics. BOOK ON N.Z. J TOUR. ' (Received 10.30 a.m.) LONDON, July 21. "The Book of Two Maurices," written by M. J. Allom and M. J. Turnbull, two ex-Cambridge University players, who were members of Gilligan's M.C.C. team that visited Australia arid New Zealand last season, describing the tour, freely criticises the Australian umpiring, ■ and gives many instances of bad decisions against the Englishmen.

Chief criticism is directed to the match against Victoria, where the umpire insisted that the light was fit for play. In consequence Gilligan and Duleepsinhji were speedily dismissed, and when the players came in Benson received a stone on the neck, while the crowd hissed.
