West of Scotland were dismissed for .Iff! runs by the Australians in llio match which commenced in Glasgow to-day. At the drawing of slumps the Australians had lost three wickets for 2-">!) runs. Tho weather was warm and ihe wicket hard. There was a large 'attendance. MacGuire won the loss. Collins, Ilemlry, Woodfnll. Griinmeir. and Muiley were omitted from the Australian team. Gregory and Everett opened tin* attack. Kerr showed a partiality for fast bowling, and was baiting stylishly. but the bowlers soon took command, and at luncheon three wickets were down for 05. At resumption the wickets fell more rapidly.* At one stage the score was eight wickets for FiS. Andrews and Richardson'were shining, while Everett also bowled more successfully. Jhe batsmen were compelled to play always on tho defensive and scoring was slow. It was an innovation for Bardsley to send in Fonsford ami Oldfield to epon. The pair got going early, scoring at a rapid rate. After Oldfield was dismissed it became a race between Fonsford and Macartney to reach the century. Frequent changes of bowling proved' unavailing. Both gave finished exhibitions, scoring freely till round the wickets off the easy bowling. Macartney was the first; to reach the century and then lie gave an easy catch htg long field. In the same over Fonsford was dismissed. Both had placed a sound, forceful innings. HCORES. WEST OF SCOTLAND.—Ist Linnings.
