Sheffield Shield. QUEENSLAND V, SOUTH AUSTRALIA. HOME TEAM’S POOR DISPLAY. BRISBANE, January 14. The Sheffield Shield mat^h —Queensland v. South. Australia vqiA commenced* to-day. Queensland in the first innings made 143. The weather was fine and the wicket good, but Queensland collapsed under the South Australian attack, and gave the poorest display for many seasons. The Southerners fielding was very keen, and greatly helped to tie up the Queensland batsmen. The visitors opened confidently and quickly mastered the bawling, which was mediocre and aided by indifferent fielding, they had almost reached the Queenslanders’ total when failing light caused a cessation of play for the day. Details are as follows: —

Queensland first innings 143. ROxenham 26, C. O ’Connor 46, bowling, Scott 2 for 27; Wall 4 for 42; Grimmett 4 for 62. South Australia lost 2 for 126, Schnieder not out 55; Harris 61.

STAR v. UNITED B. Stars scored a win by 68 runs on the first innings over United B, and nearly notched a three-point victory, as the last United man was batting in the second innings when time was called. A regrettable feature of this and one or two other games lately has been that the teams turned up short of the requisite number. This defect must be remedied. For the winners Mclntosh scored 34 and 34 not out, Langbien 35 and 15, Mullins 15 and Nelson 13. For United Casey scored 22 and 37 not out, and A. Jamieson 18 and 12. Scores; — STARS.

WEST COAST v. CORSAIR BAY.

The above match on Saturday at the Rec. was witnessed by a fair number of spectators, manv of them excursionists, whom Mr A. Greenwood (President of the West Coast Cricket Association) extended a welcome to the West Coast. Several visitors replied, thanking the West Coast Association ( for their reception, and stating that the trip to this district had provided hem with a most enjoyable day indeed. The West Coast team batted first and compiled 157 runs, to which total the largest contribution was that of the extras, namely 41. The best scorers were Spender 28, C. Dewar 21, Knapp 16, and Barlow and P. Jamieson 12 each. For the visitors, C. Oliver, the New Zealand representative, was easily the best all-round player. He took 5 wickets for 38 runs, while his fielding also stood out. Several of the Corsair Bay team were not senior players, and this was evident when it came to batting. The visitors started their innings so well that it looked as if they were sure to win, they having one 100 runs for three wickets. Oliver made 48 runs in good style until Knapp caught him off the bowling of Barlow. Another good score was that of Bayliss, who compiled 25 runs. Barlow, with his slows, proved the most effective bowler, but King and Pass were also effective, the former getting three wickets with four balls. The visitors’ tail proved very weak, as only fifteen runs were added for the remaining seven wickets, and the West Coast team won by 42 runs.
