End Of Tour.
AUSTRALIAN CRICKETERS. MATCH IN SCOTLAND. VILLAGE GREEN STANDARD. (A. ana N.Z. Cable). LONDON, Sept. 14. The Australian cricketers won the final game of their tour, when they defeated North of Scotland, at Forres, by an innings and 20 runs. Seventy minutes sufficed to dismiss North of Scotland for the lowest score against ,the Australians on this tour. The batsmen were extremely nervous, despite the fact that none of the bowlers were trying very hard. The whole “affair” was quite absurd from a cricket point of view. The Australians opened with the “tail” first. After O’Reilly hit four sixes, Kemp dismissed McCabe and Bradman with successive balls. The innings was care-free and lasted only 85 minutes. When Scotland batted a second time McCabe kept wickets instead of Barnett, who opened the bowling, but the Scotsmen fared little better. It was a happy day of village green standard, and the umpires wore “plus fours.” Scores : North of Scotland, 48 (O’Reilly 3/11, Fleetwood-Smith 3/4, Wall 2/9, Ebeling 2/16) and 98 (Wigram, not out, 28—O’Reilly 3/5, Wall 3/13, Barnett 2/7). Australia, 166 (O’Reilly 47 — Peebles 5/84).
