-HcLAREN’S TEAM. AUSTRALIAN AND N.Z. CABLE ASSOCIATION ADELAIDE, Nov. 13. The neather was hot and bright, and the wicket excellent but there was ■ a small attendance for the England v. South Australia match. Wilson and Titchmarsh resumed merrily, 26 resulting in two overs from Williams. A. Richardson kept the batsmen thinking, and finally bowled Titchmarsh with a beauty.

Hill-Wood began carefully, Wilson slowing down as if playing for a draw. He was nothing like so free as in the first innings. Both batsmen were content to lte&p out Richardson, who at luncheon had the following figures:

eight overs, three maidens, ten runs, one wicket. The score was then one hundred and thirty-four, which had taken the same number of minutes to compile. A defensive game was continued f>n resuming, but Townsend created a diversion getting Hill-Wood leg before. Hie retiring batsman was in sixty minutes getting half that number of runs. Another uneventful run-getting period preceded Wilson’s dragging a break-ball from Townsend into his wicket. He batted very correctly hut there was little force in his strokes. His total included only three boundaries.

Chapman began with delightful aggressiveness, two fours to off. two square leg boundaries and a single for a cut coming from the first five balls. Calthorpe woke up and made two magnificent drives past the bowler for four each, hut A. Richardson, who had been brought on again, cleverly caught and bowled him. He made only eleven, hut he has a fine free style, and will probably got big’seores during the tour.

Maclaren and Chapman made a stubborn stand and at tea adjournment had raised the score to two hundred and twenty-five.

Thirteen runs ater Maclaren was superbly stumped. The innings closed for 294, leaving the South Australians to get fifty-eight to win, and twentytwo minutes to play.
