SOUTH AFRICA’S BOLD BID
DRAMATIC ENDING IN TEST
ENGLAND’S INNINGS DECLARED.
CLOCK JVINS RACE A.GAJNST -TIME-
By Telegraph—Press Assn. —Copyright. Capetown, February. 17. The weather was fine for the fourth Test. England’s second innings, like the first, ended in a whirlwind of hitting, runs coming at an amazing pace. Chapman’s policy was to collect runs as rapidly as possible, but all his men, except Tate, found Nupen too good for them. Tate hit out with a will and had a couple of lives, one of which was the cause of an unusual incident. He lifted a ball from Hall to deep mid-on, where Viljoen waited. He failed to hold the ball and dropped it over the boundary. The umpires, after consultation, awarded a six for the stroke. .
Twenty-two came off Hall in one over, including three sixes. All except the first, a single, w r ere scored by Tate. Chapman declared with nine down for 169. x
