CITY CRICKET

AN EXCITING FINISH PETONE DEFEAT NORTH MACINTOSH MAKES 113 There was an exciting race agains) ■ tun© for_ a three-point -win by Petone against North at tho Basin Bcserve on' Saturday, when the 6onior cricket matches were continued. Just at 6.30 Po to.ne .managed to get the desired total, . winning from North by four wickets. On the tot day's play both sides scored small totals-North 121 and Petone' 135. On Saturday, North in their second indid much better, and at 4.20 p.m. their mninp closed for a total of 1!)6 for eight wickets. Bray (48) and Quirm (not out, 39) were the highest I nWM, or r) a S aJn helped well . with 33. IJis left Petone nearly two ■ hours to bat, requiring a total of 186 tc secure a three-point win. Thev went at the task in a very thorough, but slow manner, and lor over an hour the cricket was very dulL Cate had been batthj" very steadily, and he stayed at the wickets for nearly an hoar and forty minutes to make 59. It was his effort, "however/ ■ coupled with the 45 of Eodgcre, that won the game. When Gate retired there were only throe wickets down, and about 20 runs were wanted in about 15 minutes. The light was failing, but with Brice hitting boundaries, it looked an easy thing for Petone. Howover, Brice was caught off a big hit to the outfield, and. the next ball saw Doneg-hue out to a, mis-tit. The last few minutes were veTy exciting. Aldersley- was caught within a minute of time, for each batsman was hitting out. The incoming man, Bennett, rushed to the pitch, and the last over was started with two runs required. A. lucky single brought the totals level, and then a. leg-bye for two was secured, an appeal for leg-before" not being sustained, and Petone had won by three points. There was.all the more interest in this match as :he two teams wero ldvel for the champiouship. Tho result places Petone well to the front. In the Old Bjys-University match: University, with six wickets, down for 171, continued their innings, and brought the total up to 326. Macintosh was successful in carrying his over-week score •

from 63 to 113. Old Boys, who had mack 131 for their first innings, did little better in their second effort, for, playing two men short, they were all disposed of for lit. .Of that total, Wills, with 48, was the highest scorer. Blaciiock came nert, with 32. He had. the misfortune" to be ran ont when well set. This also happened in the first innings, as he was-, ran ont at 28. Old Boys' combined score was not equal to University's first _ innings, and the latter won by an innings and 51 runs. East, playing against Central, were ca against a-first innings' score of 436 whea they opened their first attempt on Saturday. They played one man short, and only reached 168. Following on, they bad thiee wickets down for 139, when ■ the game was stopped ehortly after 6 p.m., giving Central a win on tie first innings. NORTH V. PEJONE.
