 The tour was a great success both financially, each player earned roughly £300, and on the field, where the touring side won consecutive Test series against Great Britain and Australia.For most of the tour Baskerville was busy with the administration work and it was not until the final game of the British leg, against St Helens R.F.C., that Baskerville played, scoring a try.On arriving in Australia he then played in the first ever trans-Tasman test which was the debut match of the Australia national rugby league team, again scoring a try.
