WEEK-END CRICKET

| POOR EXEIIBITION AT BASIN RESERVE PETOtiE'S EASY VICTORY Local cricketers generally have not yet struck form. This was particularly noticoable on the Basin Reserve on Saturday, when the Pctone-Eaat match was. continued. The game waß certainly not worthy of being Btarrcd to the extent' of having the whole of the Basin to itself, and it failed to hold the interest of tho small crowd of spectators in attendance. The majority of the nlaycrß-trundler« and batsmen alike—seemed to be Infected with slackness, and matters wera not Imnroved through both elevens being short of their complement.

When stumps were drawn <ho previous Saturday East were all out for 99 while Petone had thren wickets down for 96 runs. On the match resuming M. Niehollß (1) and Hamilton '471 continued their partnership, but both batsmen were dißposed of after they had netted a few moro runs. Due largely to tho weak bowling Smyrke had little diffleultv In obtaining a mMnntiiil nunf.a. while h«lh "rice and Bold carried their bats to the accompaniment of double figures. The innlngß drnggcrt on till the tea adiournment. when Petone. with seven wickets down, declared for 239. East then had their second innings, which was largely a repetition of their efforts on tho previous Saturday, Hutchinson registered 62 runs, only after he had given -ovcral chances, but tho beat showing was mndo by Baumber, desmte hla smaller totnl. At six o'clock East had obtained 120 rnna at a cost of eiobt. wicket?, making their combined total 219 Tims. Petone. with a "rand total of 239, thus w.on by.an Innlngo and 20 runs. , ' ■ Tho match between Thornrton and Old Boys, nlavd at Kclburn Park, ended In a win for Old Boys on the first innings. When stumps were drawn !hc «rov'oii» Saturday Old Boys had eetahlished a lead of 72 runs. Thorndon bat*ed first on Saturday, and opened rather badly, but ouickly recovered. Doneghno and Ryan faced Tucker and Barclay, but tho Bcore stood at nlno wnen Uqnerluic was caught and bowled. Phillips joined Ryan, but only one run had been added when Barclay clean-bowled the latter player. 'Monro and Phillips began to onen nut. and tb«w mounts to 35. when Moore fell to *"$r r--3&—3—14.
