South Africa Wins Test and Rubber

EIGHT-WICKET VICTORY BISSET CARRIED OFF FIELD By Cable. —Press Association. — Copyright. CAPETOWN, Wednesday. South Africa won the sixth test match at Durban by eight wickets. In its second innings England was all out for 118. South Africa scored 69 for the loss of two wickets. The wicket was fast. Bissett, aided by a wind with the strength of half a gale, was getting up awkward lefthanders, and the batsmen had a hard task against the wind. Bissett bowled excellently, and was carried off the field at the conclusion of the innings. At the end of the match the Marylebone captain, Stanyforth, addressing an enthusiastiev crowd, said that he was sorry that England had not won the rubber, but he thought that the result was a true reflex of the play. The South Africans’ second innings was a race against the rain, which fell within 10 minutbs of the conclusion of the match. Details: ENGLAND. First Innings - - .. •• 282 Second innings.
