FREE HITTING

English Batsmen Please WAGGA WAGGA MATCH Successful Local Bowler By Telegraph—Press Assn. —Copyright. (Received Dec. 12, 10.30 p.m.) Sydney, Dec. 12. The English cricketers completed their two-days’ match against southern districts of New South Wales at Wagga Wagga to-day. Terrific heat culminated in a violent dust storm and some rain. Sutcliffe went cheaply. Tate, Ames, and Brown pleased the crowd with free hitting, including a couple of sixers. A local bowler, Rumble, a left-hand-er, found the wicket to his liking and made the ball turn uncomfortably for the batsmen. The match was drawn. Following are the scores:—
