Solid figures wero . also hoisted by others on his side, and, n«xt Saturday, their opponents (Old Boys) witl have a very formidable score to struggle with. The second day's play should be worth watching. S. Hickson pioneered Central's elfort, and played, quite in his best form/' The veteran is still wonderfully active on his foot. He- j-umped in to drive repeatedly, and anything "well up" was smitten hard to the "country." Nearly all his runs eamo from fullbladed drives, both on tho on and off sides, and ft was 4 o'clock before Old Boys saw tho last of him. Ho then cocked up a tricky one from Leys in tho direction of mid-off, and Tuokor, moving in a step or two from the fence, hold him up. Other Centralians helped to push the score along, notably Naughton and Claudo Hicksoji. The Central skipper punished tho off. balls, but is not- quite a- β-anjitsinjhi in dealing with deliveries on the leg side. Hβ probably let off at least' 15 or 20 balls each ot ■ which should hare gone for nillS. ■ .. ■ . ■. ~.'-:.... ■:,-■-. '.I . :,.'.. ■ : The Stand of the" Day.." ■'" . : ; : Meantime Kinvig had come in second wicket down, and, for a long time, his display was quite colourless and "gave no indication of the purplo patches to , come. Ho was 55 minutes in making I his first twenty, and-them found himself with a protty pull for four, a splendid wipe to deep-leg next ball, and a square cut for two. Ho ran along through tho thirties, forties, and fifties, and was at length partnered by T. A. Jackson, who also began iji a groggy i way, but nevertheless defied the efforts of the Old Boys' bott-lers to dislodge him. All of thorn had been bowling well (especially Leys), tho fielding was by no means bad, bnt those two.batsmen stuck. Two -hundred went up on tho telegraph at 5.30, and 300 at 6.15, Jaokson raising enthusiasm with a pull m the direteion of St. Mark's which produced the only eixer of tho day. Then cam© another peculiar part of KinviVs innings. With 18 minutes to go, ho wanted nine, to complete "his century, and the achievement seemed certain. But the Old- Boys fielded deep (especially to Tucker), and shots which' might have been boundaries were fielded and flung baek to tho wicket. What usually happened was that Jackson played out each over, got a single or a threo off the last ball, and captured the bowling again while Kinvig remained anchored at tho other end. Both men were unbeaten when stumps were, drawn,.and the partnership had added 156 for tho eighth ' wicket. Throughout -tho long afternoon Old Boys' ' fielding nover grew slack, but the bowling, though not quite mastered, naturally had less sting as tho prospect of outing tho Central side grew moro and more remote. Tho continuation of tho match promises to provide a pretty struggle. A Bowfors , Match. East B, pitted against North, were spotty. Their batting was a dull spot, hut'their'bowling (well managed by Hutehings) » bright one. Poor Ea«'t batted first, ami tho vision was mainly one of the two North buwlors—Southall ami Casey—doing something all tho time. Sonthall rolled up his nastv break-back from log, and his "swing m" from tho off, and Casey was rattling down fast ones which got up a bit. Twohill picked up Bowles at mid-wicket in Southell's first over, and -held him at tho third attempt, and , , thereafter, the bowling and catching were good. South-all's.par-ticularly so. Patrick was put on as the only change necessary, ana, in a single over, ho captured a wicket. To overtake a modest 59 seemed easy for North, but, as the event proved, they were a long 'time- in doing so! Hutehings worked his break bowlers (Grimmott and Carter) at one end and his length howlers (Smith, Walters, and Comfool.) at tho other. All bowled well. The redoubtable Hiddlostone was soon got rid of—ho put his pads in front to Smith. The feature of the innings was tho protracted 6tand made by Quinn, who plays a remarkably straight bat, and the contribution by C. G, Wilson. Tho bowling did not trouble the veteran at all, and ho showed a pretty judgment in running between tho wickets. Unfortunately ho could not get anyono to stay with him, for the last three North wickets fell down rapidly to Grimmett's slows, ■ ■ ■■ ■ Matches Out of Town. ■ After a run of indifferent fortune, East A would seem to have a certainty of a. handsome win over tower Hutt. In tho match which theso two teams opened on. Saturday at tho Hutt ground, the local men, batting first, reached the moderate total of l<9 runs. Practically' only three batsmen, A. Aldersloy, Patten, and Mason, had anything to do with making the score. These three men's individual scores .totalled 132, and as there wore 27 ex- . tras, tho scores of tho others did not amount to anything considerable. Gibbes,'who has been testing for & week or two, was m good form with the ball, and was chiefly responsible for the Hutt team's dismissal. At tho wickets Ea-st A smacked up exactly the same score as Hutt for the, loss of only two wickets. Mlcilane sustained his excellent form and bat-tod brilliantly for 67 not out. Baker was unlucky enough to be run out after making 61 T>y good criokot, and Gibbes is not out with 33 runs on. Playing against Petone Victoria- College won the toss and batted first. During their innings the wickot was fiery and treacherous and several of the College batsmen received damages, notably Bickson, whoso thumb Was badly hurt. During the afternoon tho wicket improved somewhat. Smyrke's innings was vigorous though hardly classical; ho had threo "lives." Fanning missed him when he had just reached double figures. Dempsey and Fonton bowled splendidly for College, whilo Smyrko and Brice kept tho College men quiet. Cate, as wicket-keeper, l was excellent, and many complimentary remarks wero passed on his work, V CENTRAL & OLD BOYS, ;' ■■"■ ■ Central.—-First Innings.
