A HAPPY DAY

VILLAGE GREEN CRICKET AUSTRALIANS CLOSE TOUR NORTH OF SCOTLAND OVERWHELMED (Received 10 a.m.) LONDON, September 14. The Australian cricketers won the final game of their tour, when they defeated North of Scotland, at Forres, by an innings and 20 runs. Seventy minutes sufficed to dismiss North of Scotland for the lowest score against the Australians on this tour. The batsmen were extremely nervous, despite the fact that none of the bowlers was trying very hard. The whole “affair” was very absurd from a cricket point of view. The Australians opened with “tail” first.

After O’Reilly hit four sixes, Kemp came in and dismissed McCabe and Bradman with successive balls.

The innings was carefree, and lasted only 85 minutes. When Scotland batted a second time, McCabe kept wickets instead of Barnett, who opened the bowling, but the Scots fared little better.

It was a happy day of village green standard, and the umpires wore “plus fours.”
