London, May 9. The South Africans gave another example of their aghting quailties against Leicestershire, for although half their wickets had fallen be- tore lunch for 98 runs, thanks to great batting by Rowan and VII- feen, they were able to total 312 before the innings closed. Both men were a little unlucky to be dismissed while in the nineties" after faultless performances.

The batting of Siedle and some refreshing stroke play by Nourse were features of the early play. Siedle made some peat leg strokes. especially glides, but he was in- "cuned to take risks, and eventually one of his cleverly fighted slow Astill, had him, well beaten with

deliveries.

The South Africans nad scorea 51 in about an hour when Wade was joined by Rowan. Before u

tourists' run was added, however, the captain played on to Marlaw. Nourse was always ready to attack the bowling and showed class and an ability to cut and drive. He was third out at 87-a Victim of the new lbw rule. The ball broke in sharply, and Lee, the umpire, ruled. Nourse out.
