CRICKET

WEEK-END COMPETITIONS HEAVY SCORING BY NORTH Glorious conditions prevailed on Saturday at tho Basin Reserve, where a good attendance assembled to witness the finish of the match between North and Thorndon. North continued their innings with the not-out batsmen, Fulton and Middleton, Tho former only added a few to his score before ho was stumped by Tilyard off Martin. Middleton, with Patrick, continued to score freely, but Martin secured his revenge for all the punishment he had received from Middleton by Carruthersf catching him in the outfield after a very fine innings, during which he hit 20 fours, 1 five, and 1 six. The other batsmen, taking advantages of “let-offs,” made merry with the bowling until the score reached 371 for six wickets, when North declared the innings closed. Martin was the most successful bowler out of a lot of triers, but he did not receive the assistance from the fieldsmen he should have done. Thorndon did not fare much better in their second venture at the wickets, and were dismissed for 153 runs. King gave a bright display for his 45, which included seven boundaries. Tilyard, a promoted junior, gave a steady and confident display for his runs. Warne (23 not out) and Carruthers (1G) were tho only other batsmen to make a stand. Thorndon’s fielding was much improved on the first day’s showing, Carruthers being exceptionally clean and bright, and Phillips maintaining his usual standard. Tho wickets were evenly divided. The game between Hutt and Old Boys was continued at Anderson Park, the visiting team securing a two-point win against their opponents. The scoring was fair. Last week Old Boys had made 130 for the first innings, and Hutt had compiled 182 for seyen wickets. Continuing their innings on Saturday, Hutt brought tho total to 225, Alderaley carrying his bat for 88. Tullett made 41 before being clean bowled by Tucker. In their second innings Old Boys made 232, of which Bonaldson contributed 65 and Macintosh 53. Hutt followed on, and when stumps were drawn had made 143 for three wickets, Tullett notching 67. The Petone-East fixture was concluded at the Petone - ground, and resulted in a three-point victory by ten wickets and two runs for the former eleven. On the previous day East had, in. their first attempt, compiled 169 runs, and when stumps were drawn Petone had scored 103 runs at the cost of two wickets. Resuming, Smyrk and M. E. Nicholls, the two not-out men, took tho crease. Tho former, who had 27 runs on, survived another seven balls, and then gave place to Finlayson, who, after annexing six, fell a victim l.b.w. to Judd. Brice joined Nicholls, who was treating the spectators to an exhibition of rapid rungetting, and the score began to move toward the double-century mark. Nicholls’s total had reached 56 runs, included in which were seven 4’s and a “sixer" scored in succession, when a straight delivery from Smith sent him to the pavilion. Cato partnered Brice until the latter was bowled by Hutchings, senr., at 17. O’Donohue, the next man. did not spare the bowling, annexing 14 runs from the first over. At ?0 he was caught in the field by Wylie. Bold, his successor, was also responsible for some quick scoring, reaching 17 before ho skied one into the hands of Hutchings, junr. Cate, who was still going strong, was joined by Hamilton, who, after placing two boundaries, gave place, to Borrows. The latter failed to break his duck, and the innings closed at 271 —a lead of 102 runs. East went to the wickets, and eliminated the difference at the cost of seven wickets. The remaining three wickets were responsible for the addition of only two runs. Petone thus required that number of runs to secure a tliree-poinff verdict. Gedye and Hamilton opened, and the former brought the match to a conclusion by sending Hutchings’s first delivery to tho boundary.

By Telegraph—Press Association. Napier, February 26. Tho match Australia v. Hawke’s Bay was continued to-day, and ended in a draw. The visitors, who yesterday had four wickets down for 86, resumed batting at 11.15. The wicket was perfect, and gave the batsmen every chance to show their quality. Kippax fell l.b.w. to Alcott without scoring, and was succeeded by Ratcliffe, who had a short life, as also did Forsborg, who both fell to Alcott, and six wickets were down for 110. Waddy joined Hansford, and tho pair collared the bowling, the partnership realising 160 before Waddy was caught behind the wicket for 79. Lampard assisted Hansford to carry the score to 382, when the latter retired, and the innings closed shortly afterwards for 405. The home team, requiring 239 to avert an innings defeat, commenced batting at 3.55, and succeeded in playing out time with six wickets down for 135 (Bishop 60, Alcott not out 24, including three 6’s). Ironmonger was unable to bat or bowl owing to a strain, and the match therefore ended in a draw. The fielding on both sides was good, and in both days tho cricket was of a bright, and interesting nature. The attendance to-day was about 2500. Following are the scores: — AUSTRALIA. First Innings.
