ENGLAND v. South AfriCA
THIRD TEST MATCH ENDS IN A DRAW
in two
Capetown, Jan, 5-The third cricket Test be- tween England and South Africa ended today in a draw. South Africa, needing 229 runs hours to win after England had declared at 276 for three, were 142 for four wickets when play ended.
South Africa made an early effort to score quickly, but after losing three wickets for 83-two of them off successive balls from Jenkins-who finished by taking all four wickets for 48 runs, the scoring slackened.
Some bright batting by Denis Compton and Alan- Watkins, who put on 111 runs in one and three quarters hours for the fourth wicket, enabled the England cap- Len Hutton and Jack tain, George Mann, to declare. Crapp paved the way for this burst of scoring with second wicket stand of 184.

MORE NOMINATIONS FOR SPORTSMAN OF THE YEAR
With the New Year past us, this seems to be as good
a time as any to nominate the British sportsman of the year. No. 1 position goes to Freddie Mills, the fighter re- garded as "washed-up" in 1947 when he was flattened by Lloyd Marshall,
Freddie is placed top of the troo by reason of an all- conquering year in which he crushed (the champions of Spain, Scotland and South Africa, and also became the first British-born fighter to win the world's light-heavy- weight championship since Bob Fitzsimmons held the title in 1903.
I taking this title from Gus Lesnevich, Mills confounded ght fans everywhere, who believed he had no chance.
