England Lose.

It looks as if England had the first Test Match in her hands and then let victory slip away. Fine bowling by Vote, Peebles and Tute put the South Africans out for a hundred and twenty-six, and Eng. tand had a lead of sixty-seven, in spite of the fact that the last five batsmen only got thirty between them. But then, overcoming an carly run out reverse, South Africa rattled up three hundred and six, thanks largely to Mitchell, Catteral, Cameron, and Viljoen, For England Voco and Hammond alone did any good with the ball. getting four rather expensive wickets apiece. With only two hundred and Torty to get, England, with the ex- coption of Hammond, Turnbull and Tate, failed against the excellent bowling of Nupen, who took six for eighty-seven.

The Second Test, Thus encouraged. South Africa, again winning the toss, ran up live hundred and thirteen for eight wickels declared, including cen turies by Bibdle, Mitchell and H. W. Taylor, who again turned out England replied with three hundred and fifty in spite of the fact that Chapman and Turnbull failed. They saved the match fairly ensily, although Duckworth was in capacitated by injury, but it was ominous that while two hundred and twenty-five was up for five wickets, the ninth and fast fell at two hundred and fifty-two. It was South Africa's game.

Bad Weather.

The third match, ruined by the weather, may fairly have been con- sidered England's game. They dis missed their opponents for one hun dred and seventy-seven and then rattled up two hundred and twenty for one (Hammond, not out, one hundred and sixty), and had eight down for one hundred and forty-five. Thus South Africa wer only ninety gine runs on with two wickets to

go..

▲ Gallant Effort,

General Considerations. The English team were never u strong side and the batting was the weak spot all through. It was to a certain extent an experimental team and Sandham's accident was a great blow, as it upset the open- ing pair. The elder members of the side did pretty well-I have shown their ages na given by Wisden in

special column in the averages. The batting of the younger men was rather disappointing. Turnbull averaged over twenty in the Teats, but apart from his fine sixty-one in the second innings of the first game be really played no outstanding innings. Peebles, who is twenty three, took eighteen wickets for twenty-five apiece, and Voce twenty- four for about a run less apiece. The latter, the baby of the team twenty-two, ind i batting average of seventeen and may be regarded 48 the big success of the tour. Wyatt could do no better than twenty-three, or so for his average, but Loyland-who is thirty-one- had just on forty-three, Hammoud,

KOWLOON,

At the monthly meeting of the H.K.F.A. Council yesterday it was decided in one Club de Recreio for failing to carrying out the Senior Shield match with the Royal Artil- lery, and the game was awarded to the latter, who shared in the draw for the semi-finals.

South African Batting,

A glance at the figures will show. that the South African side was on the whole a good deal younger. though their veteran Tarlor was close on the heels of their baby, Mitchell, who was top with fifty- seren. A very fine performative. They tried a good many men. Some of the side, only came into Wieden in tho, 1030 edition and, some are, not even in that, so their ages are unknown. (This applies to Farri mond also.)

The Bowling.

No less than fifteen players went. on to bowl for, South Africa in the five matches, and I print the analysis in full of the only five "regular" bowlers. Between them they took sixty-one wickets, while the remain." ing ten trundlers-collected ten be- tween them, For England only eight men bowled-for naturally the visiting team were more restricted. Six of them may be regarded as the regular bowlers, as they went où, in either, four or five matches- see the detailed figures-and they The fourth game was again Eng-collected seventy-five wickets, while fand's in all probability, although Leyland went on in three matches in a desperate efort to force a win and took a similar number of. againat time, Chagman took such a wickets.
