BOWLING.

NEW ZEALAND v. SOUTH AUSTRALIA. VISITORS DEFEATED. BY TELE3RAPH —PRESS ASSOCIATION . Received April 14, 10.5 p.m. ADELAIDE, April 14. The New Zealand bowlers played their second and final game against South Australia, on the Adelaide Oval to-day. As the visitors had to catch the afternoon train for Melbourne at 4.30, the game was begun at 1.30, and was limited to 21 ends. The weather was dull, with a few spots of rain, which made the couch grass stand up, and the greens were not quite keen enough for the visitors, although they played truly. Walker and Hain met again, and they had a fine tussle, which was even until towards the finish. Walker got a fiver, which won for him by that majority. Hain and Thompson both played well against a strong rink: Clarence Moody got a break of ten on Hcldstein, who recovered some points and then went to the bad again. Maynard played several good shots, but Goldstein was clean off colour, and could never get the strength of the gi-sen. Hodert led Bentley a merry dance. The New Zealand skipper was unwell, but Smith did good work for him. Hill, who had a good all round team, had a close, go with Bishop, whose men played well. Walsh always lead Allnutt's rink, in which the captain, with his saving shots, was a most conspicuous player. During their visit the New Zealanders had a busy time, and are delighted that they changed their itinerary to include . Adelaide.
