AUSTRALIANS IN SCOTLAND

DEMPSTER'S FINE INNINGS HEW ZEALANDER SCORES 69 OUT OF 107 Press Association—Bj? Telegraph—Copyright. . *» ' EDINBUHGH, July 27. (Received July 28, at 10 a.m.) Scotland’s team against the Australians is VV. Anderson, O. S. P. Bibb, T. Hart, D. Hiddleston, A. limes, J. Jones, A. Simpson, A. Smithy x. Spowart J. Farquhar. Woodfull, Bradman, Darling, and Grimmett are standing down, the twelfth man being O’Reilly. The weather, was fine and the wicket good. .. _ Acute detective work by the Scottish Cricket Union revealed that Dempster’s parentage was Scottish. The New Zealander opened against Wall and Ebeling. Scotland la,cks a fast .bowler. , Kippax led the Australians, and the toss was lost for the tenth time in succession. ‘ . Dempster batted, admirably. 1 The fast bowlers were unable to get much life from the pitch, and the New Zealander drove and glanced them to leg with confidence, Dempster monopolised the scoring, which was slow. Driving and cutting well, he reached-50 in 135 minutes. , He was . the only batsman to show any : confidence; the others- fell easy, to Fleetwood-Smith, who occasionally troubled Dempster. The latter should, have been stumped when at 55 he jumped out to drive a “ wrong ’un ” from Fleetwood-Smith, Dempster was unlucky hot to, carry his bat. nine wickets were down when he snicked Wall to Oldfield,' who took a good catch. The innings lasted 160 minutes. Dempster hit five 4’s. Ponsford and_ Brown opened under miserable conditions, the weather being cold, cloudy and windy. Ponsford was caught at the wicket when the total was 30. M'Cabo brightened the scoring. Brown was misftiming before he. finally got out. Chipperfield was in delightful form when dismissed, and M'Cabe was at the top of his form, so far! He batted eighty minutes. Details:— SCOTLAND. First -Innings.

TAKINGS IMF THE TOUR RECORD RECEIPTS LONDON, July-27. (Received July 28, at 10 a.m.) The Australian Press Association’s special representative with the tearant Edinburgh understands that, without the test match at Leeds, the takings of the tour already exceeded by several thousand pounds the corresponding state of the receipts in 1930, which is a record. Australia’s share approaches £IO,OOO above the same period in 1930.
