CHAMPIONSHIP FINAL* JttCCARTON IN GOOD POSITION. POUBLS CENTURY BY ROBERTS. Vh« final round of grade matches for this, seafion was commenced on Saturday, The chief attraction was at the No. 1 wicket at Hagley Park, where Biccarton and Old Boys were playing off for the championship. The weather was far from pleasant, a cold, southerly blowing across' the ground the whole afternoon. It threatened to rain throughout, but beyond a suspicion of a drizzle at time#' it held off and allowed a full day's play. Biccarton put on a.score that any side would rather have to their credit than have to make. This was almost entirely due to a magnificent • double century by Boberts. Old Boys are faced with a total of 323, And although it is not beyond them, las.t year's winners are in an undoubtedly strong position. s In the game on the adjoining widket the two losing teams in the BffnUfltMdfl, Lancaster Park and West Chrbtchurcb, tried conclusions, another good Innings by Yates being chiefly reaponslble for giving Lancaster lartt the good total of 241. East, Christchurch and Old Collegians each put. up » satisfactory total in their respective . matchfo. •* ■ ■ - Biccarton v. Old Boys.

Old Collegians v. St. Albans. T At Elmwood Park, Old Collegians put up I a very eveo batting performance by notch. 1 ii| The earlier \atsmenwere not very impressive, and when five wickets were down for 75 the total did. not promise to- be very large. Then, however. Lester and OllMer exactly doubled the total for the sixth wicket, and every one of the succeeding batsmen made a good score. Lester's 69 was outstanding, for ha played sound and attractive cricket I right through. la the twenty minutes 'that i remained for play St/ Albans lost » wicket 1 cheaply.

"Although., the bowling strength of the New Zealand team, which is to tour England, is, certainly below representative standard, it must be remembered that the English bowling also lacks the, strength it has possessed in other years, and I expect the team to do. a lot better , than some people think it will." This interesting comment was made by A. F. W ensley, of Sussex, the English professional cricketer, who has now completed his second season's ooaching engagement' with the Auckland. Cricket Association. Wensley leaves for the south on Monday, ana sails , for Home by the Mataroa on Wednesday.' The New Zealand team, in Wensley'g opinion, is very strong in batting, and should make plenty of runs, during its tour. The wiokets at Homo, he said, were not .greatly different from those in New and he looked to the side to get good scores. There was a possibility that the English , crowds and the genera! conditions, under which matches wore played at Home, might upset the visitors in the first two or three games ; but once they got over those circumstances, he thought they should perform very creditably. • It was fortunate, said Wensley, that there were several players in the team who had had experience of English cricket. , Bowline was the great weakness in'all classes of New Zealand cricket at the present time. 1 Players from primary school boys' upwards seemed' to have ■; the notion that the making of runs was the only thing to be considered in cricket. If young players could only bo convinced of tho real enjoyment that was to be* had out' of Bowling, the standard wOtild surely improve. ' ■ , ' Bowling in 'Auckland, ho believed, had improved somewhat in the last two seasons. More - attention was being paid to good . length. In tfe© primary l schools, the , boys were very keen-on batting, but thefr should be more enthusiastic over bowling. After mentioning that the English howling strength was not as great as some people in New Zealand believed it was, wensley said the pitches at Home 'were suohthat ninlesa they were affected, by rain they g&ve the 'batsmen a very decided "pull"' over the bowlegs. In sneoking, of NeW Zealand wickets, he mentioned that' in all his cricket he had seldom placed on a better pitch than that on which Canterbury met Auckland in tho PlunJtet Shield match at Chri&tofcureh this year. , . . . - KAIAPOI.
