England defeated South Africa in thfl tKird Test by nine wickets. The Africans in the second innings made 823. England in the second innings lost one wicket for 60. .... , , « Any chance the South Africans had ot saving the matoh after the opening day n errors disappeared in seven minutee inw morning, when Catterall foolishly r«n Taylor out on an impossible run. . Cattorall's dieoomfituro was immediately completed when Tate slattled his wicket#. Deane played most confidently and hia effort was largely responsible for England, having to bat again. Pegler was shaping soundly but thr»w away his wicket in attempting ft risky third run. This was the Bixth Buicidal incident of the game. England's only loss in the second innings was Hobbs, who played Blanokenberg on. The Africans' batting was occasionally afl good as England's, but the bowling, fielding, and catching were much inferior. Scores:— ENGLAND. First Innings .. „ .. 398 Second Innings. J. B.

The "Morning Post," dealing editorially with the tests, says: While admitting that our representative batsmen and bo\vlera are better than • in. 1921—that year of humiliating, disasters—we dare not yet hope we have a.-aide good enough to beat a strong Australian team. We reqti'':o mow} effective change bowlers, a second fast bowler and a higher standard of .fielding. ' ■ In the remaining tests against the South Africans, we would like to eee younger players, with a future, replace some of those with a past, however distinguished, in older that our resources may' bo fully explored ■ before the team going to Australia is com* ipleted.
