CRICKET.

AUSTRALIANS IN SCOTLAND. United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright (Received July 20, 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, July 19. Rain delayed the start of the Australian match at Glasgow, and interrupted play in- the middle of the afternoon, and caused stumps to be drawn early, with West Scotland having lost six wickets for 140. A crowd of 3000 braved the weather to witness the match, and see Bradman, who enlivened the game by three times throwing down the wicket from the long-on, but the batsmen skated into the creases. Then McTavish essayed a mighty hit, and Bradman jumped and caught the greasy ball near the fence, as if taking a football mark. The following were the scores:—
