WEEK-END CRICKET

FIRST SENIOR CENTURY COMPILED

BOWLERS' WICKET ON THE

BASIN

■ .Saturday saw tho commenopment-.-. of •nother round of matches in connection with looal senior cricket." The-weather held good, and a feature of the afternoon was. the excellent exhibition by Doneghuo (Thorndon), who compiled the first ;sonior century this season. The match set down for decision on the Basin Reserve was Petono v. North. North batted first, but tho wicket favoured the bowlers, the innings closing after 80 minutes' play for the modest total of 54 runs. Hiddleston and Bray, were the first men in, - and the former batted nioely to the tune of 10 runs, when a fast ball from Smyrk glanced' toff his pads on to the wicket. W,. H. (Wilson succeeded him, and made his oxit ■{without embarking upon a scoring' account. Bray's was the next wicket to. fall, and beforo very long,his successor !(C. Gj. Wilson) was bowled by Smyrke— four wickets for 27 funs. None, of the remaining batsmen climbed into double .figures, iut, nevertheless, tho wickets fell very slowly. ' Petono went in to bat ,at about 4 o'clock, Gedye and Hamilton '.opening auspiciously. Hamilton was jstumped when tho. partnership -had netted 'SO runs, and Gedye was then' joined by\ Finlayson, who lasted till the scoreboard registered, a totol of. 40.';, ; H. E. Nicholls arid Smyrko followed-in that order, but they quickly went out again. i'Gedye still hung on, and things bright-' ■ened up when Brice came ou at tha fall •of tho fourth wicket/' The twain quick]lv lifted the score to 57, and Gedye then : "tool; the count." M; ■ Nicholls next | faced the bowling, and he . and Brice ' pomnienced to punish the field) both bafcsriien rattling several boundaries against the fence. The partnership, which was responsible for 54 runs, endbd with the dismissal of Nicholls, who had previously been dropped by Middleton in tho elips-'a very hot one. Brice. carried on the good work in company with Bold, but shortly before six o'clock the former wtis'caught behind the wickets by Paterion.'" Thero wore ho. further incidents, and-when stumps were drawn the siVb? urbanites had scored 121 runs at a cost of 'seven, Svlckets.. .?

In the 'match between Old. Boys and Hutt. at Kelburn, the latter went in first, and compiled a total of 116. Hughes and Alde'rsley. opened the;.batting against the» bovding of Tucker and Lambert. v The partnership only/realised one, when Hughes waa bowled by Tucker. CondlilTe! joined- Aldersley at the wicket and the total stood at 28'.when Barclay bowled Condiiffe. Only five runs had'been added to the score when Aldersley fell a victim to Barclay after having --compiled 18. Dukeson joined M'Girr. and for awhile things brightened; M'Girr was hittirig out, and the total stood at 78 when Dukeson was dismissed for 6. The rest of the innings weint disastrously.- M'Girr was caught and bowled by Duncan when only one had been added. His 41 represented the best score for Hutt. . Doig, Martinj and Ktiles followed jn'rapid succession, Martin being the only- one -to -'score.---- The for 116.- Old -Boya .commenced their innings at -4.35,-iLambert jvnd' Rpnaldson opening; - Roflaldsbri fell l.b,w.:tp Aldersley, when the total stood et 10.. , Only ten more had been-added when'Barclay-was'.bowled by Aldersley. Pucker joiied Lambert, -and 14, runs were added. Then.Tucker was bowled by AloVsley,'for 4. The' fourth :wicket fell ..for 38, Lambert being oaught by M'Girr, off Balks: Duncan joined :Baker. and the score mounted slowly. Tho total'was 76 when M'Girr bowled Duncan, who had contributed 21. Baker's soore stood at 12, and'the total at .76 for five wickets, .when v stumps wore drawn.

■Thorndon and East met nt Andereon Park, and the former team were at the wickets for nearly the whole of the afternoon, being-disposed of-at about a quarter tp fi, after making the fine total of' 31G runs. Credit; for this big 'score was due' principally to Doaegiue, . who Jnade 107 .the,first .century to .be.scored in;eonior cricket this .'season. -Doheghue played an..excellent innings; hitting free-" lv all-..round, the wicTc'et; and when he was finally dismissed by Dirid he .was warmly .applauded. . Next highest.score was made, by Phillips, who compiled a useful 16, while, other doubtefigure scorers were Warno (37), Mobre (35),. Putt «« C !23 J ) '„ l>r i? C£, / '» Christopherson (17),. and Martin (12 not out). Baiimber secured the best bowling.average, takinc four wickets for 42 runs. Owing to the iatenoss of the hour when Thorndon finished their innings. East did not bat. Appended are the scores in detail:'—
