Notes
--> Bowling in the Queensland first innings adds 112 runs under

---

With OC Hitchcock unable to play because of an injury suffered in the previous match and R Macdonald having returned to Brisbane, Queensland had only ten players available for this match
Eastern Districts selected a team of 22 but two players did not turn up
Apart from the four bowlers who took wickets in the Queensland innings, nine other bowlers including Gibson, who opened the bowling, were tried without success
