AUSTRALIANS’ EASY WIN

FREE STATE MATCH INNINGS AND 146 RUNS (Reed. Jan. 21, noon.) BLOEMFONTEIN, Jan. 20. The Australian cricketers defeated Orange Free State by an innings and 146 runs. The slow bowlers had the better of the batsmen throughout. Viljoen, batting patiently, held up his end for a long time. Eventually hitting out rashly, he mis-hit a spinning ball from Grimmett, and Oldfield did the rest.
