NEW ZEALAND WINS FIRST BOWLING TEST
FOUR GAMES TO TWO. ' ! CONDITIONS FAVOUR DOMINION PLAYERS. Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, Last Night. The bowling test between New Zealand and Australia was commenced today on the Hataitai club’s green, which though in first-class condition, requiredfirm bowling to play full length heads. This suited New Zealand better than the visitors, who are used to baro greens that are treacherously keen. In addition, there was little "finish" in tho bowls and very fine play was not possible—not fine play as it is understood on Australian greens in summer time. The result was a somewhat easy win for New Zealand, which took four out of the six games and won by 175 points to 113.' Results of games were as follow:Gray, Greeniston, Blair, Bleach (Vic.) 17, lost to Carlton, Tilley, Feilding, Pilkington 30. / Beulke, Wood, Cochrane, Clark (Vic.) 17, lost to Bell, Trayes, Raphael, Bell 27. Reynolds, Cummings, J. Scott, Beecliam (N.S.W.) 11, lost to Brackenridge, Clark, Parsons, Smart 40. Walker, Thomson, Casey, Griffen (N.S.W.) 13, lost to Hill, Cometti, Fraser, Walker, 28, Ward, Noberts, MacMillan, Curran (Queensland) defeated Ward, Roberts, MacMillan, Harroway 23. Holmes, Tatham, Nairn, Rogcrson (W. Aust.) 28, defeated Langley, Moyes, Kerr, Scotr, 27.
