THE SUMMER GAME

SATURDAY'S iHATCfifeS a '".,,, ANOTHER SERIES COMMENCED 1 Another series:of matches in connection with the Cricket senior championship was commenced on 'Saturday afternoon. Owing to tho. Basin •Reserve being in use by Ihe Amateur Athletic Association, the Thorndon-.Old Boys' match was opened at Kelburn. Thorr.dori went to'the'wickets firsthand compiled 1 23G, .the highest score they havo so far made in any innings this season. • Tho best individual showing Was made by Warnp, who knocked up 48 beforp being caught by M'Coll off Tucker; Cnrruthers was next with 41; he was stumped by M'Coll. Other double-figure scorers were Bnrrv (27),- Phillips (24), Christopherson (23)'. Prince (18), M'Kellar (16). and' Martin (13). Tucket took four •wickets for 8-1 runs. Knowlcs-Smith two for 20, and Lambert three for 40. Old Boys went in for their first strike, fairly late in the afternoon, but before the end of the day they had made 51 runs for tho loss of one wicket. The tiro not-out men wero Duncan (32). and Binnio (10). Duncan 'and Stainton opened tho batting, and Stainton was caught by Warns off Phillips after making 8. The wickei; was in excellent .condition st. the Fetone ground, when' North met Petone. On the last occasion'on which, these teams met. wet weather seriously interfered with tho play, and t. draw was the' verdict. No doubt North's collapse on Saturday was'to a.great, extent due to the fiict that the team were without the services of the representative bntsman, Middlcton.- who had. topped ; tho century list at tho previqjis uiee'ting. of the' two teams. Electing to bat first, North Sent out C. G. .Wilson and Wagstaffe to face Brico Smyrk respectively. ' Wilson opened, and started to punish Brice straight away. Shortly after the commencement Wilson was lucky in having a low catch dropped by Finlayson, but the latter,' by a smart piece of fielding, ' returned the ' leather to Cate, who neatly clipped the bail.*'. It was a close call for'.Wagstaffe, but the verdict was''in his favour. The fifth" over was in progress, when' at the fifth ball Wilson (with It runs on) gave Finlayson. another chance, which this timo he accepted, the catch being an- excellent one. Ouiii. who followed, survived the remaining three balls 'of the over. The second ball of the next over Wagstaffe attempted to send' 1 to .'the boundary, but Gedye, at mid-on, brought off an excellent catch. ' W; H. Wilson, the next' man, partnered Qiiin-,'..&w_cnr-ried tho score "to 33, wdien' theMaTt'er; who had "mad? 9 runs,''was clean-bowlc'd by Smyrk.. Tho only attempt,at : what -might bevtermed "partnership''' was accomplished by Robinson (who replaced Quin) and W. H. Wilson,..the effort realising 2& before Robinson had his stumps scattered by Brice. • Burton joined Wilson, and the score'was carried to 68 before Wilson, with the top-score of 24, was neatly caught behind' thestumps by Cate. : "Rahgi" Wilson;, the next man in, began 'by sending Smyrk to the boundary. -'Ho survived the remainder ' of- the'- :dver. ',• .but' ■■ the second ball of. the next over terminated his career," tho' bowler being Brice. Burton (10) arid Paterson (11) were the only other players- to Teach double figures, and the innings closed for 101 runs'. At about 4.15 Petone went in, Donegliue and Gedye taking-tho crease. For 1 u while play dragged, but after half a dozen overs things livened up slightly, and the two batsmen appeared to have got nicely i"set." Continual changes in the bowling section failed to break the partnership, and it.was Hot■ until the: telegraph had registered"79 runs'that'. Daneghue was bowled by Ryau. Doneg-. hue's total was'sl. Smyrk followed, and: partnered-Gedyo until, the score reached 91, at which stage the former was sent-' to the pavilion,' run out; Shortly after Finlayson's advent, Gedye, who hud flayed a steady hat for 3li, was dismissed by Robinson. •'O'Donohuo was the next player. The first ball was run for a : single, two boundaries followed, he fail-, ed to play the next ball, and succumbed > •to the - next.- • The-6core'now stood" at--121.' Brice- was' the .man" in,"ajid, with Finlayson, carried the scbro to 140; when the latter, with .ft well-earned 24' to his credit,was well held in the field, by Robinson. H. E. Nicliolls followed, and sent Ryan's first ball to the boundary. The score had reached IG7 for the loss of,five-wickets, and shortly afterwards stumps were drawn.'N.icholls (17)! and Brice (13) being the not-out men. ; Ryan was the most successful of the North trundlers.

Playing against East at Hutt; the local eleven; electing to bat'first, gave a'very poor account of themselves, only 79 ' runs being compiled: "Hughes (31) and Langford (12) were the only batsmen >to reach double; figures.. • East, in their at- • tempt at th'o crease, fared a little better, the telegraph' registering 102 runs •Then Condliffe, with 15 to his' credit, was caught and bowlejLJjy Aldcrsley. Bind topped the list with a well-earned 23, then came Bniimber with 16, 'and Schraeder and Watson followed with ; 11 each. In the bowling section, Fenton and M'Gvrr wero t.Jie most successful of the East trundlers while .for, Hutt Aldersley secured the' honours..Vln their second attempt Hutt made a far better showing,.'so runs having been scored for the loss of two wickets. Aldereley- (29) and Hughes (13) were the ..top run.notchers.
