MELBOURNE, Jan. 4

In th Sheffield Shield match against South Australia, Victoria in the second innings had five wickets down for 541 (Hendry 85, Love not out 170, King 33, Hartkopf not out 101) when stumps were drawn. . . Victoria seemed to be in a fair way to add another shattering victory to her Sheffield Shield achievements tins season. The weather was fine and the wicket good. Hendry resumed his overnight innings with Love. Both batted carefully, Love’s runs coming very slowly. The pair carried the total towards the 300 mark when Hendry was stumped off Williams, after he had just previously escaped a catch off the same bowler. King assisted Lovo to bring up his 100, which had taken <3 hours 28 minutes, and 300 was hoisted for 4 hours 39 minutes’ play. With the advent of Hartkopf the batting became more aggressive, nuns mounting up more freely towards the close, though the play was never inspiring. • Changes were frequently rung on the bowlers, whom the batsmen all through treated with respect. Extras added 29.—Press Association. Victoria in the first innings made 304 South Australia responding with 148.
