The weather was threatening all the afternoon, but rain hung off. However, the gloomy day gave a bad light, and £ome of the batsmen who went in lato in the day wore very uncertain in it. Play ivas to have been continued till 6.45, but on account of the.poor light, kumps were drawn in the Central—East A match, played on the Basin Reserve, at about ti •'» • °" lcr two senior matches on the' Basin wero adjourned shortly afterwards. . Ihe chief match on the Basin was the Central-Last A fixturo. Central.worn the toss, and batted first. Naughton, who opened with C. Hickson, . was smartly caught by Hickoy (off his own bowling) beforo ho had scored. Blamires filled the gap, but in a little while a fino onehand catch by Gibbes, who was bowling, returned him to the pavilion. C. Hick6on and Bcechey then set up a partnership . which yielded 97- beforo its dissolution. 55 on, Hickson was bowled oy uibbe3 v Beechey looked good for a century, particularly as Gibbes, who was obr we 'comod by the batsman, was still keeping himself on to bowl. How6Tfr>,,a; Becchey made a weak hit at a ball from M;Girr, and the bowler hold it easily. Kinvig batted nicely, and scored quickly, but when he was 28, M Girr, who- was trundling well, clean bowled him. Hickey was then put on to bowl again, and he Quickly accountcd for o?, i The innings closed for 242. bcnlaadt, who figures in the batting, was crick'T ' appc T ranc '- ' n S€n ' o r Eflft A opened their innings in a.' very bad light, and eventually appealed against lt-an appeal which was upheld. When stumps wero drawn, East A had lost three wickets for 50 runs, ajid of these ulidlano had made 30. Scores Jll-fortune seems to hang at the heels ,of the South Club. Fine weather and a good wicket assisted their batsmen' to make a, very creditable score against the redoubtablo North eleven, but the old trouble-one man short-again hindered thorn, as Laws was unablo to play on Saturday. With two wickets down for 15. i tho prospects did'not look too bright, and many were predicting that the South team would', return for less than the oentury. However, Burton and Patrick added fortyi two for the third wicket, and other good Partnerships by-Dlenkinsop and Burton (sixth wicket) and Schmolt, and Burton (seventh wicket) helpoa materially, and tho total score was carried to 174. Burton made 55 by capital cricket, and with an ounce of luck would have carried his bat right through. Patrick's score was lively, ni wn? marred by a couple of chanoes, Schmoll, Smith, and Blenkinsop- all did good work with the bat at the right time, bouthall, who captured five wickets, was Hie most-successful of the North bowlers. Tho ksk of equalling tho South score scorned an easy, one for North on past performances, and tho ecoro was well ahead of .South on tho finst ' couplo of wiokcts. But Bray,. Blacklock, and :Wilson went cheaply, and, with four wickets down for • sixty r one, ■ tho positionu>was lovelled down somewhat. camo to the rescuo, and with Hiddlestone added forty-four for . tho next wieket boforo Hiddlestone, was beaten...Crombie in his 'usual free style carried ■ his: total to 46, and was unbeaten when 6 tumps were drawn for the day, tho total, reading 138 for fivo wickets. South may have to bo reckoned with seriously next Saturday, unless the North tail wags unexpectedly. The Victoria College senior eleven shoiild get soma sympathy. It does not appear to bo able to get runs. At least' it seldom gets sufficient runs to win a match. When East B met the Varsity team on Saturday, East B was two men short, and Varsity seemed to have a golden opportunity to conquer. "What was the resultP ■victoria College first innings G3; East B'e reply, for those eight. wickets, G7. The bowling figures on oither side look splendid, but the batting was unspeakably weak. About the only features of tho match wero good work, by tho East B wicket-keeper,, and: a great catch by Saunders in tho slips, when Hutchings was dismissed. ' Petone met Hutt on the Hutt ground, and established such a formidable lead that they'would seem ti have the match well in hand. Neither team was at full strength,- and Hutfs attack was seriously weakened by the absence' of Patton. Petone won the toss, and, thanks to the weak bowling and slovenly fielding of the local men, were able to reaoh tho fairly respectable total of 211 runs, batting one man short. More than half the, runs worn made by Finlavson (Gfi), and Cato (50), both of whom played fine cricket for their scores. The light was very dull in the later afternoon, and Hutt appealed to the umpires to stop tho game. > The umpires, howevor, declared in favour' of playing out time, and when stumps' were drawn Hutt had lost six wickets for ■ 78 runs. ■ CENTRAL & EAST A. - Central.—First Innings.
