CITY CRICKET

SATURDAY'S MATCHES FOUR CENTURIES:ON-BASIN RESERVE Saturday saw soino tall scoring and froQ hitting at the Basin Reserve, which was by no means confined to tho senior olovens. in all, four centuries weiro registered during the afternoon, and of theso three wero to tho oredit of Murphy's Pipe Works team, who played Old ' Boys, juniors. It. Murphy notched 151, H. Murphy 118, whilo just on tho call of timo' Biiinio topped tho century mark amid resounding applause. Tho remaining century was coiupJod by Condliffo —baiting for East in'their match against North. Tho conditions woro very favOurablo to good cricket on the Basin, 'but on account of tho extension of tho playing bour till half-past six the dying stages of the afternoon's,play wore finished , in a fading light. Interest centred on fcho East v. North fixture. East wont in to bA't first, and when stumps were drawn they wero etall going strong, having scored 110 runs for tho loss- of nino wickets. It was a' regular pvunicfor the batsmen, who "lifted them" in all directions. Condliffe carried his bat for 111 after a finq exhibition, while Dind (80) batted consistently, ,: and hiid. hard luck in hot securing honours. Baker, Baumber, and Hutchings also added materially to tho score. Thorndon, who were pitted against Old Boys on tho Basin, batted first, and were all dismissed for 133 runs. .Berry (37) was accumulating tho runs in nice stylo until ho was caught out by Duncan. Thomaa had a successful innings, and carried his bat for 25, but tlio bowling was too' good for the remainder. Old Boye equalled their opponents' total at a cost of only six wickets, their tally standing at 131 when tho adjournment was taken. Their most successful' scorer was Beechey (61), who had tho Thorndon trundlers guessing till relief enmo in the shape of Berry, who clean-bowled him with tho first ball of his first over. Morris, not out, with 17 to his- credit, was partnejed with Baker, not out 3, when stump 3 noro drawn. ' There was a. good attendance of tho public at the Hutt recreation ground to witness the game between Petone and Hutt. Rather doubtful weather was, as far as the players wero concerned, , to a great extent rectified by a wicket in good condition. Petono won the toss and elected to bat. Donoghue and Gedye, tho first two men, played rather steadycricket for a while, tho majority of runs compiled toeing singles. After the fourth over, play livened up Bomewhat, and the runs began to mount up steadily. The telegraph registered CG runs when' Donetrhno (whoso effort was ,33 runs) was bowled 1.b.w.. by Aldersley. Brico joined Gedye and. quick scoring, became the order. Brica scored two "sixers" from three balls. At tho tea adjournment the score stood at 120. Shortly after the resumption, Br'ce sent the leather soaring boundnrywards, and Judd mode no mistake, the catch being a splendid one. Finlayson entered the lists next, but, contrary to expectations, did not reign long. Gedyo and Finlayson this season liad gained quito a reputation for their partnerships, but on Saturday a partnership did not materialise, Finlayson falling a victim to D. Nnujhton's fourth ball. Cate joined Gedye (whose 6core stood at 61), and had only annexed five runs when he fetl a victim to Judd. Shortly nfterwards Gedye, who had meanwhile added a "sixer" to his score, was cloan bowled by D. Naughfon. His innings realiseda creditable-71. The "tail" wagged, and nuite a stand was mode, by O'Douohuo (391 and. Scivrk (411. Double figures were also' scored by Tnsrlis (not out 12). The innings closed at 271. Just before time TTiitt went in. nnd.D. Nniiirhton and Dukeson took the crease. The innines started disastrously.

REPRESENTATIVE TEAMS . NEGLECTED JUNIORS. Sir,—Not having the pleasure of a personal acquaintanceship with your correspondent,' Bernard Carlton.'wo take the liberty of trespassing on your space to the extent of replying as briefly as possible to the communication appearing in your issue of November 7, under Hie above. Reading;, fj'he. subject, in question,: it will bo conceded, is a controversial one,., .and any attempt to deal in detail with tho question submitted would take np far : more,, of your, valuable space thai wo caro. to ask "for. . In. tho firet place, it is certainly gratifying' to us to note that the junior, clubs. are 'beginning to take an interpst in their affairs, and .we, Sir, are the first .to admit that the fos-.tering-of junior-cricket is essential to the sport. However, wo regret this spirit wn-: not in evidence at the annual ■ general meeting, that is, as far as junior, clubs are concerned. At thie meeting, when the constitution of the association was under review, three jwnior. delegates out of a total of over twenty,werq present. Thus it is left to a few enthusiasts, whom Mr. Carlton erroneously,, terms "old hasbeene," to carry on tho affairs of tho association, and if there are any complaints in this connection it will clearly be seen that the.junior clubs have, only themselves to blame. Touching on the question "of tho association's turning down the Tequeet to send a, junior representative team on tour during the Christmas vacation, to fully explain the committee's action in your columns would only result in interminable correspondence, through which no good purpose would be served. However, to test Mr. Ca'rtton's sincerity in regard to doing something for junior cricket, we would suggest that he convene a full meeting of junior delegates, at which we will bo happy to attend, for the purpose of coming to a better_ understanding concerning matters of interest to junior players.—We nre, etc., ROY S.. JOHNSTON, . . ,W. G. HUGHES, Junior Championship Committee, Wellington Cricket Association.
