- THE PLUNKET SHIELD MATCH. :O'f AOjQ EASTI.Y' BEATEN. . (By Teiogrnuli.—Press Association.) Christchurch,/March 24. , Tho Plnnfeet' Shield match between Canterbury and Otasro was continued at.Lancaster 'Park to-day. The weather Was fine but cold, and a southerly wind prevailed. The recent rain however had not materially affected the wicket, which was iivfavour of the batsmen.. The. latter, how-, ever, appeared afraid of the howlers, who :he!d the upper hand throughout. Otago s second innings was very - disappointing, 'and, fallowing on their, poor display on Saturday, shows that their side is by no -means strong in batting. By their victory '(.innings and 4-1 runs), Canterbury retain the. Plunket Shield for. 1912-13 season.
