SOUTH AFRICANS IN Local Forwards In MANILA FOOTBALLERS
LEAD AGAINST
THE M.C.C. English Bowlers
Fail
To Trouble Batsmen
The South Africans were in a very favourable posi- tion at the end of the second day's play in the Fourth Cricket Test against the M.C.C. at Johannesburg yester- day. When stumps were drawn, they had 249 on the board for the loss of only three wickets. In the first in- nings, the M.C.C. were all out for 215.
No play was possible yesterday morning owing to rain. The wicket was soaked as the result of Sunday's and yesterday's downpour.
Play started at 2 p.m., with Ken-
neth Farnes opening the English at-
tack. He thrice struck the batsmen Hockey
on the body, and Goddard, having no
slips but short legs, Uled down Van
Der Byl and Melville,
Verity, however, was not danger-
OUS.
Van Der Byl, when 22, was drop- ped by Farmer in the gully of Wil- kinson.
The batsmen were now culling and driving confidently, Verity and Wilkinson sent down several Toose 'ung, which were punished accord- ingly.
The 100 went up after 90 minutes batting, but only eight more runs had been added when the South Africans fost both their opening batsmen.
MELVILLE OUT
At 108, Melville was caught by Wilkinson, Verity in the gully off aller batting for 99 minutes for his 67, Melville hit ten fourn in a grand display.
Goddard relieved Verity with the total remaining at 108, and with his second ball he clean bowled Van Der Byl, who had made 31.
E. A. Rown and Bruce Mitchell were then associated and at tea ilme were still together, having taken the score to 148 for two wickets. Rowan had 13 and Mitchell 25.
Mitchell had a "life" when his score stood at 19; he was dropped at short leg by Edrich, off Goddard, the fielder being impeded by Wilkinson, who bumped into him.
NOMAD XI BEATEN
IN MACAO
(OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT)
Maeno, Feb. 20.
An interesting hockey match was played here this afternoon when the Nomada eleven, from Hongkong, en- gaged Macho's second Division team and were beaten by three goals to nii.
Mocno pressed hard in the opening stage and after 15 minutes play open- ed the scoring through Gonsalves.
After this reverse, the Nomads tried hard to equalise, S. A. Reed und Gubbay, in the forward line, showed fine understanding, but the local defenders kept out the players; although on several occasions Sarmento, the local goal-keeper, was elied upon to save some difficult! shots.

DESPITE GIVING A FAR BETTER DISPLAY THAN THEY DID THE PREVIOUS DAY, THE MANILA INTERPONT FOOT- BALLERS WERE DEFEATED AGAIN YESTERDAY WHEN THEY MET THE COMBINED CHINESE, LOSING BY 5-3 AFTER THE SCORES HAD BEEN DEADLOCKED AT 3-3 AT HALF-TIME.
As a matter of fact, the visitors were the better side in the first half and should have been in the lead at the change-over. But at one period the Chinese were leading 3-1, much against the run of play. The Filipinos missed several scoring opportunities; otherwise they would de- finitely have been ahead.

The Innes White wing was especially dangerous when in possession. The former, оп the wing, went hard and was seldom caught in possession as he got rid of the ball generally by a pass in to his inside. Hutchison found Ask- with, who was moved out to the wing, too fast and tricky.
Mills played well at stand-off half up to the time of his injury after! which he was transferred to the wing. He received a knock on the knee during the second half.
The Shanghai forwards were in a very subdued mood compared with last Saturday. Little was seen of them in the loose and seldom were
they backing up. R. U. Reynolds, who was so conspicuous against the Club, was hardly noticed at all yesterday, Stewart also was much quieter, probably due to the knock on the knee which he received early in the game.
