CRICKET

SOUTH AFRICANS AT ADELAIDE SOUTH AUSTRALIA’S UPHILL FIGHT. LONERGAN’S CENTURY. Adelaide, Jan. 25. With the temperature over a century, South Australia tackled an uphill fight valiantly, but their hopes vanished. Richardson made a sound 61 and Nitschke 44. Both were run out. The decision against Nitschke was questioned and the umpire was hooted. Richardson was uncomfortable with an injured hand. Lonergan was the mainstay of the South Australian side, giving a fi ne display of leg strokes. His innings lasted 194 minutes and he hit ten fours. Vincent had a perfect length and was tu-eless. In 30 overs he took five wickets. Scores:— SOUTH AUSTRALIA. 'i si. Innings 197 Second Innings.
