The first test match between English and Australian women cricketers was begun today in Brisbane. Australia won the toss and batted, all being dismissed for 47 runs, of which Miss K. Smith made 25. Miss Maclaggan took 7 wickets for 10 runs and Miss Taylor 2 for 9. England in the first innings scored 116 for five wickets (Miss Maclaggan 72, Miss Snowball 15, Miss Archdalc not out 12). DECLARED OFF. MEN'S TOUR OF NEW ZEALAND. (Received 9 a.m.) SYDNEY, December 28. The Cricket Board of Control met in Sydney today. Mr T. Howard (representing the New Zealand Cricket Council) conferred with the board and reopened the case for sending a representative Australian team to the Dominion. A member of the board subsequently submitted a motion to rescind the one carried in a former meeting rejecting a similar proposal. This also was defeated, so there will be no New Zealand tour. The board then considered the report of the manager of the last tour of England.
