LONDON, August 3,

Play in the cricket match, Australia v. Glamorgan, at Swansea yesterday was delayed by rain until 4.15 p.m.

Woodfull, Oldfield, Hornibrook and Kippax stood out of the Australian team. Glamorgan's representatives were:—Turnbull, Clay, Bates, Bell, E. Davies, D. Davies, E. Dyson, Every, Hills, Mercer and Ryan.

Jackson started splendidly and with Ponsford seemed comfortable on an easy wicket. Tho batsmen punished the bowling freely, though each survived an appeal, for leg before from Mercer.

The first 60 appeared on tho board after 40 minutes' play. At 93 Ponsford was dismissed in trying to turn a. ball to leg.

Bradman was wildly welcomed by the keen Welsh crowd when he went in. But two runs later Jackson was nicely caught at fine leg after a sound and cautious innings of 85 minutes.

McCabe replaced Kippax, who is suffering from a strained back. It is not serious, but Kippax requires a rest.

Bradinan treated Mercer with caution at first, but later liit him about freely. McCabe found the veteran troublesome toward the close of play. This pair had added 54 in 40 minutes when stumps were drawn.

Inclement weather has caused nearly 00 hours' delay already during the tour. Scores:— AUSTRALIA.—First Innings. Ponsford, b E. Davies 03 Jackson, c Hills, b Mercer 30 Bradman, not out 27 McCabe, not but 28 Extras . 2 Total for two wickets 140
