THE CHINA MAIL, NOVEMBER 30 1988

RYAN EARNS A DRAW

WITH JACKIE JURICH

Jackie Jurich, American fly- weight champion, was held to a draw over twelve rounds by Pad- dy. Ryan (Manchester) at Belle Vue, Manchester. Ryan was, as fast as Jurich, and had the better left hand, but he was shaken by a left. hook in the fourth round when the. American fought at his best. The Manchester boxcr took punishment in the sixth stage, and was chased round the ring, but Jurich could not produce a finish- ing blow. The referee's decision came as a surprise, for Jurich had appeared to be well ahead on points.

Ames And Bartlett Come To Tourists' · Rescue

RAIN RESTRICTS PLAY

(By AIR MAIL)

Capetown, November 14. Ames and H. T. Bartleft were largely responsible for an M.C.C. first innings lead in the match with Western Province at New- lands, to-day. Scoring 198 for six, the tourists now hold a lead of 24 with four wickets in hand,

At one time it looked as if they might be behind on the first. innings, but Ames and Bartlett, who came together at 99, were associated in a sixth wicket stand which gave the tourists the lead.

When play was resumed on a slight-- ly wearing wicket the M.C.C. had lost - Hammond, Hutton, and Edrich for 70 runs in reply to Western Province's total of 174. Bartlett had some luck. He was bowled by a no-ball, and was, fortunate not to be caught off a couple of mishits. He had to curb his na- tural inclination to hit out, but this did not prevent his playing an enter- taining innings.

WICKET PROTECTED

Play was restricted to two hours owing to rain. There was no play be- tween lunch and 3.45 p.m. This delay. was unfortunate for the home bowlers, who, until the interval, had been very accurate. Afterwards the bowling lacked sting.

It had rained during the week-end and this morning, but the wicket had been protected. The sun was shining when P. A. Gibb (15) and Ames (12) continued the innings. Only eight runs were added before Brinkhaus, who had dismissed both Hutton and...... Edrich on Saturday, got another wicz ket by inducing Gibb to touch an out- swinger. He was caught at the wic ket, and the M.C.C. were 78 for four.

Another wicket fell at 99,- when B. H. Valentine, after being, missed in the slips when 12, misjudged an off- break from Bond. He edged into the wicket-keeper's hands.

Ames batted confidently, and helped- Bartlett to add 48 for the fifth wicket. He was bowled by an off-break at 147.- His.45, scored in ninety-three minutes, contained four boundaries, and was: a polished 'effort.

BOWLED BY. NO-BALL Bartlett had not been in long before he was bowled by a no-ball. For a time he concentrated on defence against the good-length bowling. At the luncheon · interval..the; score was 163 for six. When play was resumed at 8:45 p.m. Bartlett attacked the bow-. ling, which had lost some of its sting, and although he made a couple of mis- hits he reached 50 after batting for seventy-two minutes. He had then hit five boundaries. A single from Bart- lett took the total past Western Pro vince's 174. At 198 rain fell again, and it was decided to draw stumps.

Brinkhaus, the fast, bowler, has taken three for 69, -Bond two for 56, and Price one for 81.' The South African Test match selectors were present.
