AGAINST GLAMORGAN. [United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.] LONDON, Aug. 2 The start of to-day’s cricket match between Australia and Glamorgan, at Swansea, was delayed by rain till ,4.15 p.m. From their team the Australians . j omitted Woodfull, Oldfield, •Horni brook and Kippax. The Glamorgan team are:—Turnbull, Clay. Bates, Bell, ®. Davies, D. Davies, E. Dyson, Every, Hills, Mercer and Ryan. Jackson started batting splendidly, and with Ponsford, seemed comfortable on an easy wicket. They punished the bowling freely, though each 'survived a leg-before appeal from Mercer. Fifty runs were shown on the board in forty minutes. • When the score stood at ninetytlxreh. Ponsfprd; was dismissed while trying to turn, a ball, to leg. ■ Bradman was wildly welcomed by the keen Welsh drowd when he joined Jackson, the other hero of the ' big partnership in the previous match, 'but only two runs later, Jackson was nicely .caught at fine leg;, after a sound but cautious innings, lasting eighty-five minutes. . McCabe came 'ln next, 'fopja-Ying Kippax ip that order', as Kippax, is suffering from 'a strained back. It is ho serious, hut lie is required to rest.

Bradman treated Mercer with caution at first, but later he hit him about freely. McCabe also found Hhc veteran troublesome towards the close of plity. ' The pair, however, added fifty-four runs in forty minutes, and then stumps were drawn.
