ENGLAND'S
BAD LUCK IN TEST
FOURTH MATCH INCIDENTS
PLAY AT TIMES AGONISING
By RONALD T. SYMOND
London, July 31. England's captain and his team had extremely poor luck in this match.
Wyatt took the full risk in- cidental to a forlorn hope of vic- tory, but the wicket was too much for him.
The South Africans have consoli itted their position and cannot lose the mories of tests, but I do not think that they can claim heroic hanours for yesterday's performance.
Given just under four hours in which to score 271 runs on a dream

London, Aug. 27. Rain throughout England spoilt the county cricket fixtures dur ing the past three days and, as a result, the great majority of the Imatches were left unfinished,
Although the game between Yorkshire and Surrey at the
Oval was reduced to a one-day match the champions all but took the full points.
An earlier declaration might casily have given Yorkshire the match as Surrey, at the close of play, had lost Three wickets for 20 runs and stiil | had a defeit of 229 runs to reduce to save an innings defeat. However, there was never any indication that Surrey would collapse or that there would be no play' whatever to-day: and a first innnings declaration at

Very properly the South Africans hawled to keep down the runs. Vin- cent and Crisp opened, but as Crisp was found to be expensive, he wan apeedily replaced by Langton.
Against these two bowlers, who kopt a splendid length, Barber either ould not or would force the game, Bakowell was itching for runs and did his utmost to increase the rate of
oring.
But Barbor, though he took any amount of risk in stealing singles, completely declined to accept the hazard for the sake of Alightest

When the interests of the side the whole situation simply shrieked for quick runs, and wickets were of little consequence, it was humillating to nee Harber and even Hammond pegged down severely by the bowlern.
All credit to Vincent and Langton certainly, but no bowlers in the world alould have been allowed to get away with it.
Hammond made magnificent amends lator with fierce and lovely drives, but how a player of his glorious potentialities could auffer to spend his first thirty minutes getting 10 runs passes my comprehension.
Leyland did exactly the right thing for the situation, as he always does, Wade's disposal of his. Dold and bowling was an object-lesson in cricket judgment.
Play was resumed after lunch in an atmosphere of high antielpation, but the wicket, in conspiracy with Rowan and Mitchell, soon put all hopes to gentle rest, and after 45 minutes we
