A BATSMEN'S AFTERNOON

RESULTS OF SATURDAY'S GAMES

On the Basin Reserve on Saturday afternoon tha senior matches abandoned tlio previous week on-account of the rain were continued, and brought to a conclusion. - Some good batting witnessed both in--the senior and junior lists, ■ Playing for North, Middleton; who mado his appearanco this season, carrioi this bat for 119, after an excellent exhibition. In tho same eleven, Quinn put uj> the very creditable score of 81, before he succumbed to Fmlayson's fowling. Then again, for Old Boys, Lambert topped the century by three, while amongst the juniors tho redoubtable Murphy's Pipe. Works eleven were again responsible fot some sensational • scoring. If. Murphy contributed 104, while H. Murphy and Bimiie carried their bats far 73 and tti respectively. The position of the North v. Pel one match when stumps were drawn tlio previous, week was that the -former teaih liad no wickets down for 52 runs. On resumption runs came very, freely, and nl half-past four they declared, liaving four wickets down for 275 runs, Middleton, Quinit, and in a lesser degree C. G, Wilson and Patrick, were tho Win supports. Brico was the most successful trundler. Petone were faced with too big a proposition in order to win, and at a quarter to seven, when play ceased, they had lost seven wickets for 143 luns. H. E. Nicholis with' 63, was tho only batsman who showed form. When Old Boys .commenced batting ■in tlieii match against East, they had two wickels down for 38 runs. Lambert (21 not out) and Baker (nil, not out) were thu first to but. The former continued his good work of tho previous week, and put up a century. When the eleven declared, Duncan (not out GO) and Binnio (not out 34) wero' going strong. The tally was 274 at a cost of eight wickets. < I East then batted, and when stumps were drawn had six- wickets down for 132 runs, and, like the preceding contest, the match resulted in a draw. Bast's batting wns nothing out of the ordinary, Bind making the best showing with 41i. Lambert most wickets. The bright afternoon attracted quite a large number of spectators to the Hutt Recreation Ground, where the .HuttThormkm fixlnro was concluded, nn'd resulted in a two-i>oint win—by the narrow margin of five runs—for'the latter team. When stumps were drawn Hutt had six wickets down for 112,' an con-, tinning on Saturday, added a further 69 to tho total. The innings closed at 181. M. Nau.ghton's 65 was a very creditable performance. Otilier players who'leached double figures were Aldersley (25). D. Naughton (20), and Hughes (17). Plant was the most successful of the Thorndon bowlers. The afternoon was .still young when Thorndon. went in. Berry and Moure, the two fir.'t men, made a stand, and were still at the crease at the adjournment, the partnership then having realised over 90. About two balls after resumption Berry was caught in the slips by Aldprslev, his score then Blandir.g at' 34. M'Kellnr, who followed, was bowled by .T.udd before the over terminated. Sliord? after Thomas had joined Moore, fry. l latter was well caught in the field. Moore's- altempt represented a creditable G4. arne was the next to enter the lists, and bad 10 .runs to his credit before he was caught out by Husihes. Gibbons, the next man, hwl annexed only sfeven runs when lie fell a victim to Judd. Shortly after Carruthere's advent, Thomas, with 32 to his credit, was cans'ht behind the stnmns. A little later..Martin wtp caught in the field. Pram joined Cnrruthe.rs, an-' the latter, who was playing steady cricket, was bowled. 1.b.w., ! the destrovinp- agent being .Todd.' At this staie Thorndon required five runs to secure a. two-noint win. The excitement .was at. its liisbp'st pitch when Prain made the winningstroke.
