Crawford was 82 when ho resumed with Armstrong, Rankin, the other not out, being absent. Crawford soon went on to his century, and the Eastern total was passed ],,. fore Armstrong was bowled by Pavis. ( 'raw ford carried on with Birch until the total was 262. when the former fell to u catch by Quaid. He had got his first century of the season, and his batting, both in defence and scoring strokes, (suggested that he had been somewhat unlucky in representative honours this season. After his

depart;ne Birch ;iiid Cummings carrier! on a lucky partnership tliat added 07, and tin; inn hips «as declared closed. With nearly two hours and a half to go St. Albans probably had visions oC an eight-point wjin, but after four wickets had fallen for 70, Mcu'tk'ck nnd Coupland set up a partnership that lasted an hour and a quarter and added 124 runs. Mortlock's unbeaten 70, preceded by Ecores of J!Ji, 01, 20,_ and tin not out. shows him to bo :i greatly improved batsman. Coupland played a real captain's innings for his 55. "Whilst showing good defence ho was far more aggressive than Mortlock, and made his runs by fine strokes all round the wicket.

LANCASTER PARK This game had been left in a v ". v l ' vru condition after the first day's play, Sydenham having made 2:io. to which Lain .isti Park had replied with 5=5 Cor two whU s. McLaughlin (:!> and Read (10) were the fcot outs, and they carried the total to 70 at which figure Head was out m ai. unusual way. Ho flicked ono to Ciussou at second Slip, and it bounced out ot Is hands for Bellamy at hrsl slip to tako t it catch. McLaughlin vent shortly aftorwards, splendidly caught by Patrick off a square cut. Cromb and Kerr then set tip a puitnership that looked likely to | game safe for Lancaster Park. They had 150 on tho board for four wickets, but ono run later Cromb, who had just previously hit two sixes, was caught at -.quaie leg by Newton. Kerr went at 17.), ami when Cobden was dismissed cheaply the total was 18-1 for seven. From this time tho excitement was intense, as, if Sjrttnham got a win they were still .in _ the running for the championship. Haw kings an Drvden saw the second century passed, but then the latter was caught at the wlckl ? t - Hawkings and Vates then played the "rock" game to some purpose, but at - lo Hawkings fell to a catch in the slips by Patrick. Twenty-two were still wuntea when Lee. tho last man, joined \ates. in. latter was missed in tho slips when tntotal was 227, and four runs were scored Tim suspense was ended when King caught Vales at, the wicket. In the subsequent play the Sydenham batsmen bit freely, and made 120 in 40 minutes, hut it cost them six wickets. Scores: — SYDENHAM First innings -• . •* Second Innings F. W.

SUBURBAN GAMES SATURDAY'S MATCHES The tenth round of matches in the suburban competition, which was concluded 011 Saturday, provided some interesting cricket.

When Murray went in the score was 63 runs for the loss of six wiekots. Murray played the bowling confidently. Plav was held up for some time when A. Culler, Sunnyside's wieketkeeper, received a bad hit on the face, his nose being broken. Marist's scoro was then 209 for nine wickets, 14 runs

being required to head Suntiyside's total of 222. = When only four runs were needed Murray was caught behind the wickets, low down, hv Hartley (who took Gullen s place), oft Thompscon, and Marist's innings closed for 210. Murray made OV. Leach and he put up an invaluable last-innings partnership. Leach carried his bat for 28. Thompson bowled steadi!v to take four wickets for 45 runs. With the sam? already decided on the first innings, Simnyside's second inwas onlv a. batting practice, the sicle beiiK' all out just before 6.30 for 196.

One of the remaining two senioi games was very uneven, and there was little to maintain interest. However, for th< next two vi-eeks the competition should pro vide some keen games and the spectators wil probably be treated to some brighter crickel than has been seen for Borne time past. Plaj at Malvern Park was very uninteresting, th< result of the only senior game, Jlai Mot and High School Old Girls, being apparen' quite early in the afternoon. There wai only a small attendance of spectators. It the Technical-Beckcnham game, Technic declared late, in the afternoon, and thei failed to get Berkenham out. in the tim(

available. The game was drawn. The results were: — SENIOR GRADE TECHNICAL v. BECKENHAM Technical drew with Beckenhani.

Symons made her best score for some timo, compiling 40 runs in her usual solid stylo before sho retired. Miss M. Norman retired at 33 after giving a good exhibition of batting. Late in the afternoon Technical declared, five wickets then being* down for 119 runs. At the conclusion of play, five of the Beckenliam wickets had fallen for 54 runs,. Miss A. Sibley having scored 19 not, out. This is tho second time this season that theso two teams have played drawn games.

Detailed scores were: —Technical mado 119 for live wickets (declared) (R. Symons 40 retired, M. Norman 33 retired). For Beckon, ham, E. Dickson took two for 29 and A. Sibley one for 27.
