DULL BATTING SEEN AT CAPE TOWN Ginger Foran

IN 2ND TEST South Africans Taking No Chances Whatever

The M.C.C. innings was declared closed at 559 for nine wickets yesterday morning. Batting for the remainder of the day, the South Africans wore very slow and at close of play had made only 213 for the loss of six wickets.
