INNINGS VICTORY

Australian Cricketers In South Africa Uy Telegraph.—Press Assu.—Copyright Bloemfontein, January 20. Orange Free State were defeated by the Australian cricketers by an innings and 146 runs. The slow bowlers had the better of the batsmen throughout. To the Orange Free State’s score of 88 on Saturday, the Australian team replied with 361 for four wickets, and declared their first innings closed. In their second innings Orange Free State made 127. Viljoen, batting patiently, held up his end for a long time, but ■ eventually he hit out, rashly. He miss-hit a spinning ball from Grimmett, and Oldfield did the rest.
