CITY CRICKET

SEASON ENDS

EAST WINS CHAMPKONSHIP.

BOWLING RECOEiD BYjTUCICER. The senior cricket championships were joncluded on Saturday afternoon. East ias won the championship, though it wound up by taking a" heavy .defeat from North. East has been strong! in batting, and its bowlers have done • very well, i "With both tho willow and tho ball, W.' IJ. L. Gibbes has boon the strong man of tho side. His batting has ibeen exceptionally good. On the other ljand, East's former crack, F. Midlaue, who was in the habit of heading the averages and making batting records, bus failed completely. M'Girr has played fine all-round cricket'for the side. His • batting scores have, been good, his bowling) excellent, . and his fielding first class. [Another of tho older members of tho toako. who did a considerable share towards iits success was J. ! Hutchings. ' t Easfs most dangerous competitor was Petone, a capable all-round teido. Central went through the seasons with a somewhat inconsistent eleven, strong in batting and weak in bowlingj. North's great'weakness was its bowlings. Late in the season this defect was. repaired by the inclusion of Morgan in tho tcatn. University had little success, and showeo. no promise for the future. Old ,Boy 6, too, were very unsuccessful, but there is hope for them; they have somo good .colts worth developing. Tho last match saw another city record broken. This "was established by K. Tucker,' who captured 72' wickets curing tho season. The bowling honours were in doubt up till tho time ■• of - drawing stumps. The record stood at 71, and both Southall (North) and Tusker (Old Boys) stood a'fair chance of breaking it. Soifthall got the earlier opportunity. Bowling against East, ho secured four wickets, and brought his season's total ■ up to 71, equalling the record. • His luck was out, however, for, the fieldsmen dropped several catches off him, and' two very Sromising appeals at the wickets wore ecided against hdm. Tucker set out to .get his four wickets about half an hour before stumps were drawn. He wjas bowling against University, and they'closed their innings when they had secured 48 runs, hut Tucker had hy then lowered the Tecord; he had' taken the whole of the four University wickets which had fallen. Petone scored. 231 against Central (82 and 81). By taking four wickets In this match, Brice (Petone) established! a to. cord in Wellington cricket, his total num. bar of wickets taken for the season being 72. ' Hutt (36 and 63) defeated Trentham (4.1 and 49). Upon the commencement of Hutt's second innings, Trentham was in th*e lead by 58 Tuns. Hutt soon caught up, and at tho expense of one wicket defeated their opponents. Saturday's matches resnlted in North beating East by ten "wickets, and University eas;ly defeated Old Boys.
