First Test
Test Match Against M.C.C.
Viljoen, Dalton, Langton Pull The Game Round
The South Africans made a splendid recovery in the First Test match against the M.C.C. at Johannesburg, and at the end of the first innings were only 32 runs behind the tourists. A century by E. L. Dalton and a hard-hit 64 by A. B. C. Langton towards the end of the innings enabled the South Africans to reach 390 in answer to the M.C.C. total of 422.
At close of play yesterday, the M.C.C. had made 103 for the loss of one wicket. There being only one more day left for play, the match seems likely to end in a draw.

FANCY TRICKS
After this, the Chinese players

That the Chinese were definitely the beller side in the last half hour was only too obvious; there was no need for them to rub it in the way they W. I did.

Considering that they were picked from sp many different teams, the Srots Have a surprisingly fine dis play. They did not last as well as
and lost the Chinese, however, great deal of their dash in the second they half. Before they foll away, gave the Chinese some very anxious moments indeed. Hind luck been

Fraser and

did a prodigious amount of work in the pivotal position. It was not thele fault that Scotland lost.
