MODERATE SCORE

AFRICANS AT SWANSEA / PLAYERS ON INJURED LIST JOURNALIST FIELDS (By Telegraph—Preaa Association—Copyright) LONDON/Aug. u. The fortunes of play swung round to iho home teams favour when the ciicket match tretween bouth Africa and Glamorgan was continued at bwnnsca to-day. Interest in the fixture was such that there was au attendance of J 7,000. Yesterday the tourists scored 309 and Glamorgan had 103 runs on the board for tn-e loss of three wickets, i’o-day the county’s score closed for 227 and they dismised South Africa iu the secund innings ler J 68, leaving them with 2«jl runs to get for a win. They had put on 38 lor me Juss of one wicket when the day's play ended. The boui.h Africans met with further ill-luck when their captain, Wade, split two lingers while fielding and was unable to bat. The strength of the tourists has bven so depleted through injuries that they were forced to call upon a journalist who is accompanying the team to fill a place in thc field. Glamorgan’s star bowler, Clay, who was punisned by Mitchell and Cameron in the first innings, met with considerable success to-day, taking six wickets at a. cost of 6.5 runs apiece. He bowled to a leg trap and cleverly varied his pace and flight. Critics are urging that he should play in final Test match.
