CITY CRICKET
TWO CENTURIES ON THE BASIN RESERVE PLANE'S FINE BATTING Some time last year Fred Midlane mentioned that he was playing what was; probably his last season of club cricket. 'Happily, he has not beon able to fulfil his own prophecy, and this year finds him brightening Saturday afternoons at the Basin Reserve as regularly as ever before. Last Saturday he was in excellent form, and by beautiful batting ran up 117 not out. . This brings his average foT the season up to 260 runs per innings. He has played four innings, and has been out only once. Midlane's was not the only century made on the ground. Bray, of the North eleven, whose batting was ait times brilliant, scored 101. There is a story of bard luck attached to Bray's dismissal. Ho reached and passed his century witn the sixth ball of tho last over of the day, but the umpire (under 'the impression 'that only five balls had been sent down) allowed Hindmarsh another delivery. It was a beautiful,: fast ball, that kept low, and it beat Bray, and got his off stump. Thus, Bray was deprived of the opportunity of continuing his innings next Saturday. • Hiddleston (73) and Quinn(so). both of North, batted very well, and the litter gave a few samples of big hitting. Robinson, the Wellington Jessop, pasted the ball out of the ground repeatedly, but at 27 was splendidly caught by Wetherall. The position of the teams on the day's play is that East looks like beaitin'g Cental, and North has a tremendous, lead over Old Boys. Details axe as under:— EAST & CENTRAL.
