WOMEN CRICKETERS
TOUR OF AUSTRALIA SUCCESSFUL VENTURE (Received January 9, 10,5 p-m.) SYDNEY. Jan. 9 The Australian tour of the English women's erickct team so far has been a splendid sporting and financial success. Provision was made to meet the whole of the expenses before the arrival of the visitors with the result that the gate receipts represent net profit. Approximately £BOO was taken at the gates for the two test matches, and it is expected that the third test at Melbourne will swell the total to £IOOO, which will be set aside to send an Australian team to England.
MATCH AT CANBERRA MAGPIES AS BARRACkERS MUCH AMUSEMENT CAUSED (Received January 10. 12.5 a.m.) CxVNBERRA. Jan. 9 The English women cricketers played a one day match against Canberra girls to-day. Two magpies were the keenest barrackers for the local players, who batted first. The birds warbled a merry tune and with each change of bowling wandered from one wicket to the other causing general amusement. Canberra in the first innings had scored 72 when a thunderstorm stopped play.
