LOWEST SCORE OF TOUR

Africans Avert Defeat

SUSSEX CRICKET MATCH

London, August 27.

In the final day of the South Africa v. Sussex cricket match Sussex bowled with such determination on a rain-af-fected wicket that there was a possibility early in the afternoon of their de-feating-the South Africans, whose score was the lowest of the tour. Vincent, however, came to the rescue with a half-century and the match ended in a draw. James Parks, for the first time in his career, completed an aggregate of 1000 runs, and a hundred wickets for the season. Details SOUTH ■ AFRICA. First, innings CIS Second Innings. Jlitehell, c.
