SHEFFIELD SHIELD
GAME IN BRISBANE HORNIBROOK AND SELECTORS (Received January 12, 11.35 p.m.) BRISBANE, Jan. 12 A Sheffield Shield cricket match between Queensland and South Australia was begun to-day in Brisbane. • The South Australians batted first and scored 184 runs (Richardson 67, Ryan 20). Oxenham took six wickets for 48, and Yeates three for 47. Queensland had lost one wicket for 87 when play ceased for the day (Cook not out 40, Allen 33, Andrews not out 14). The chief interest in this match centres round the inclusion of' Hornibrook, a left-hand bowler, whom the Australian selectors are anxious to watch in view of the forthcoming English tour. Hornibrook has been out of first-class -cricket for three seasons. His bowling to-day by comparison with Oxenham's was not impressive (his average was none for 50), but Oxenham further enhanced his chances of inclusion in the test team.
