WEEK-END CRICKET

SOME LIVELY BATTING

INTERESTING GAME AT BASIN RESERVE

Contrary to expectations, an interesting second innings' contest took place on the Basin Eesorvo on Saturday between Petone and North. When Btumps were drawn the previous Saturday North were all' out for 54, while the suburbanites had netted 12 V" nB at a Co3t o£ Eevcn wickets. Bold and Borrows, the not-out men, opened, but the tail refused to wag, Petone being all out at the ond of flftcon minutes' nlay, during which time only eight runs w'ero registered. North went in to bat at a quarter to 3, Hlddleston and Bray opening to Smyrk and Brice. The partnership proved a fortunate one, and lasted for many minutes, a total of 51 runs being seoured. Hlddleston played.a chancclesß innings, and at. 56 was splendidly caught In the outfield by M. Nicholls. In their race against time all the North batsmen hit out very, freely, and made tho pace merry while they lasted. The Petone trundlers served up vefy tempting stuff, with the result that Bomo splendid oatches were witnessed. O. G. Wilson (14) fell a victim to Hamilton, who later accounted 'for Middleton in a similar manner, jußt after, the latter had lifted a 6 over the south fence—the second this season. Tho romalnder of the batsmen steppod out to overything, but the field waß well placed, and at flvo minutes to 5 North wero all outr-ouo "player was absent—for 149 runs. Smyrk took six wickets for exactly- tho sumo tally that- it cost Brico to get half that number. Petone thus had to secure 75 runs to beat their opponents' scoro, and they accomplished this task at 6.20 o'clock, when they declared—four wickets for 76 runs.

East set out to endeavour to overtnke Thorndon's scoro of 316 runs .(compiled tho previous Saturday). Thorndon's scoro proved too much for East, who were 4ismissed in the firßt innings for 157, batting one man short. East had, therefore, to follow on,. and their second venture at tho wickets was slightly better than tho first, the afternoon's play finishing with seven wicketß down for 151 runs. Runs were obtained by consistent scoreß, seven of East'B batsmen reaching double figures. Martin, Plant, and Christopherson shared the bowling honours for Thorndon, while Warne's display as wic-kot-kocper was also oreditable, no fewer than throe batsmen being dismissed Considerable interest was taken in the match between Old Boys and Hutt, which was concluded at Kclburn. On the .previous Saturday, Old Boys had made 76 for' five wickets, Hutt being all out for 116. On Saturday, mainly owing to good work by Baker, who crossed the half-cen-tury, mark, Old Boys added 100 to their previous day's tally, thus gaining a twopoint win on the first inning's result.
