BOWLING.

(Press Assn.— By Telegraph.— Copyright.) ADELAIDE, April 14. The New Zealand bowlers played a second and final match against South Australia on the Adelaide Oval. As tlie visitors had to catch the afternoon train for Melbourne at 4.30 the game was commenced at 1.30 p.m.. and w.is limited to 21 heads. The weather was dull, with a few spots of rain, which made the couch grass 6tand up, and the greens. were not quite keen enough for the viistors, although they played truly. Walker and Hain met again, and they had a fine tussle, which was even until towards the finish, when Walker got a fiver, which won the game for him by that majority. Hain and Thompson both played well against a strong rink. Clarence Moody got an initial break of ten on Goldstone, who recovered some points and then went to the bad again. Maynard played several good shots, but Goldstone was clean off color, and could never get the strength of the green. Hedgert led Bentley a merry dance. The New Zealand skip was unwell, but Smith did good work for him. Hill, who had a good ail-round team, hud a close go with Bishop, whose men played well. Walsh always had the lead of Allnutt s rink, in whicli the skip, with saw ing shots, was the most conspicuous player during the game. Tliis^ being a rushed visit, the New Zealanders had a busy time, but aro delighted that they changed their itinerary to include. Adelaide. Tho scores are as follows : —
