T h e hom e sta te w as stro n g ly represented in th is m atch a t S yd n ey on F e b ru a ry 13, 14 and 16 ; b u t Queensland lacked H artigan , Jennings, M cLaren, and E van s, and in cluded several you n g players. R ed g rave captained, and, w inning th e toss from Trum per, to o k first innings. T h e first Queensland w ick et fell a t 24, th e second a t 31. Joe Thom son, who h ad m ade n ea rly all the runs th us far, was th en joined b y C. Thom pson, of B risb an e U n iversity, and these tw o added 85 in partn ership. T h e left-hander’s 62 (ten 4 ’s) w ere m ade in 85 m inutes. F iv e w ickets were dow n for 153 ; b u t R ow e helped Thom pson to add 79 for th e sixth . T h e last-nam ed b a tted w ell for a couple of hours, h ittin g th irteen 4’s in his cen tu ry, b u t showed poor ju d gm en t in running. E x c e p t for B olto n (who w as bow led b y a no-ball a t 19), the rest did nothing. Massie bow led well, keeping a fine len gth ; he has u nd ou bted ly come on g rea tly th is season. F ou r N .S .W . batsm en were ou t for 166, Moore (52 in 65 m inutes), C ody, and G regg all h avin g shown good form . A t th is stage T rum p er partnered M acartn ey, who had started slow ly, b u t quickened up now. T rum p er’s 53 were m ade in 65 m inutes of 114 added for th e fifth w ick et. T ozer helped M acartn ey to p u t on 105 for the sixth . M acartn ey’s 154 to o k him ab ou t 2 f hours ; he h it tw en ty-fo u r 4 ’s, and, th ou gh n ot chanceless, his innings w as a brillian t one a fter th e 50 had been passed. T h e n inth w icket fell a t 430 ; b u t Massie helped T o zer to add 53 for the ten th . T o zer’s 78* w ere m ade in 97 m inutes and, a p a rt from tw o ob vio u s chances, in cap ital style.

U pon th e result o f th is m atch, p layed a t A d elaid e on F eb ru ary 28, M arch 1, 3, and 4, depended th e destination of th e Sheffield Shield. N eith er side w as q u ite a t fu ll strength, th e home team lackin g Cham berlain and Steele, while V icto ria were w ith o u t th eir you n g all-rounder, R yd er, and Seitz. There w as some trou ble as to th e ca p ta in cy of th e V icto ria n team . S eitz w as a b s e n t; a n d it w as said th a t if A rm stron g had been n om inated he w ould h a v e been opposed and defeated b y C arkeek, th ou gh it is difficu lt to understand a m a jo rity of the team w ishing to be cap tain ed b y C arkeek. A rm strong did w isely when h e him self nom inated R ansford, a choice to w h ich no one m ade serious objection. If the V icto rian team can n ot hold b o th A rm ­ strong and C arkeek, it is not, all th in gs considered, the form er who should give w ay, alth o u gh he is an an ti-B oard m an. H ill won the toss, and M ayne and C am pbell sent up 69 for th e first w icket. T hen batsm en le ft q u ickly, and six w ere ou t for 155. R u n d ell joined C raw ford, who had taken half-an-hour to reach double figures, and had o n ly m ade 25 when he had been a t th e w ickets an hour. Then he quickened up, and m ade th e big m a jo rity o f th e 95 added for th e seven th w icket. I t was later on th a t he gave the bow lers heaviest punishm ent, how ever. R each in g 100 in 137 m inutes, he lashed out, and added 50 in 31. A lto geth er his 163, including one 6 and eighteen 4’s, o n ly to ok 171 m inutes. H e w as m issed a t 11, and h ad one or tw o other slices of lu ck ; b u t in sp ite of these his innings was a v e ry fine one. A rm stron g could n ot bow l, ow ing to a kn ock received a t practice. V icto ria started bad ly, three being ou t for 60. R ansford and A rm stron g added 64, and A rm stron g and Colin M cK en zie 45 ; b u t no one else did much. Craw ford bowled a t th e to p of his form , and had a splendid analysis. M ayne w as the o n ly m an who did m uch in the hom e side’s second innings. H e h it a 6 and ten 4’s in his chanceless 106, which to o k him 155 m in ­ utes, th ou gh a t one tim e he b a tted 48 m inutes for an addition of o n ly 7 to his score. A t one stage of th e innings A rm stron g had bow led 19 balls for 5 runs and 3 w ickets. M atthew s w as unw ell, and on ly sen t down a couple of overs. V icto ria needed 381 to w in, and to secure th e Shield needed to w in b y 7 w ickets, in order to be first on average, a v icto ry for them m eaning th a t all three sides w ould h ave been level on results. T h e y had 4 w ickets down for 51, R u nd ell h avin g ta k en 3 for 13. M atthew s and M cK en zie added 90 ; b u t on th e last d a y th e w ick et had been ruined b y rain in th e night, and no one could do m uch w ith W h itty , th ou gh A rm stron g and th e youn ger C arroll added 45 together. T h e 56 m ade b y M atthew s w as a p articu larly good innings. S outh A u stralia won b y 165 runs. * First Innings. S o u th A u st r a l ia . Second Innings. E. R.
