GLASGOW “TEST”

New Zealand Cricket Team Starts Well VIVIAN IN TOP FORM Scotland All Out For 237 Runs (Fbom the Special Correspondent of the United Press Association ' with the Team.) (Received July IS, 6.15 p.m.) Glasgow, July IS. The wicket was soft and the weather fine for the match New Zealand v. Scotland, which opened yesterday. The attendance was nearly 5000. Scotland, hatting first, scored 237 (Mitchell-Innes 87, Heggie 44, Tod 37). Gallichan took six wickets for 46 runs and Vivian three for 59., At stumps New Zealand had lost four wickets for 145 runs (Vivian 75, Wallace 54). After Hadlee had been tried without success as an opening bowler for New Zealand the attack was borne by Dunning, Vivian, and Gallichan. A feature of the day was the success of the slow left-handers. Gallichan ■ achieved his best performance since the first match against Surrey. Three catches were taken from him in the slips. Good catching also assisted Vivian. Safe acceptances were made at long-on and mid-on by Carson and Gallichan. The Edinburgh and Glasgow papers unanimously call the game a Test. It certainly had that atmosphere at times. The Scottish scoring was very slow, Mitchell-Innes being a dashing exception. He gave a brilliant exhibition of strong front-wicket play, marked'by beautiful drives on both sides of the wicket. He scored a six, two, fours and a two in one over off Vivian, four fours in one over off Dunning, • another six off Dunning, and a third off Gallichan. Heggie and Tod were slow, but played a useful innings. • i Dashing Vivian. New Zealand’s batting was distinguished by the dashing vigour of Vivian. The left-hander was in top form, racing past his half-century in just over half an hour. He had then hit eight fours and a six. Altogether there were 10 fours and two sixes in his 75 out of the first OS runs scored. Wallace was more restrained than usual, but played confident and correct cricket. He compiled a sound 50 in an hour and a quarter, including six fours. Scotland’s high-class slow bowlers, a left-hander Melville and a right-hander Peebles, probably bowled as well as any pair the New Zealand team has met in England. The New Zealand team is: M. L.
