THUBSDAY COMPETITION
Favorable weather was experienced yesterday for the resumption of the Thursday Shield matches. Whataupoko met Kaiti on No. 1 ground, and City tried conclusions with West End, under rather adverse circumstances, on No. 11. Tho latter teams commenced operations about an hour and a-half after the advertised time, and then only mustered about five men aside. A great deal of interest was manifested in tho Kaiti-Whataupoko contest. Both teams were fairly well represented, and had the wicket and out-field been in fair order much larger scores would have resulted. WHATAUPOKO V. KAITI.
Gibson, Kaiti, won the toss from Hodge, the Whataupoko skipper, and took Porter with him to the wickets. J. Ferris commenced trundling for Whataupoko, and did the bulk of tho bowling for his aide, bowling 13 overs for 28 runs and 8 wickets. Gibson was caught off this bowler when he had made nine, and Porter succumbed to a Yorker shortly after for an attractive innings of 14. J. Gibson, who went in first wicket down, carried his bat out for 28. Fairlie played a dashing innings for 21, and treated tho spectators to some hard hitting. Garrett, who came on to bowl to the tail, secured 4 wickets for 10 runs. The fielding and catching, with a few exceptions, was execrable on both sides. Kaiti were disposed of for 96, and Whataupoko went in to knock off the runs. Hodge was bowled by Porter for 2, and H. Ferris suffered a
similar fate at the hand of W. Gibson. Howarth gave a splendid exhibition of stylish cricket, and had hard luck in being bowlel off his pads, by Gibson. Tattersall was very fortunate in compiling 17, and had two or three lives in the field.
The Whataupoko innings closed for 81, or 15 runs behind that of their opponents. At six o’clock, the time determined upon for drawing stumps, three of the Whafaupoko men were still to bat, but Hodge, in a thorough sportsmanlike manner, agreed to play the match to a finish. Mr Chas. Evans was conspicuous in his customary position of umpire throughout the afternoon. Appended aro the scores: —
Whataupoko.
CITY v. WEST END. This match was played on No. 2. ground, and resulted in a win for City by 25 runs. E. Lewis and Macdonald batted best for the victors with 16 (not out) and 10 (not out) respectively. Eor tho losers, W. Andrews scored 25 (not out) out of a total of 39. Both teams batted short handed. Bowling for City, Cole came out with phenomenal average of four wickets for 7 runs, and Hedley also got two wickets for 8 runs. Hawkins was the most successful bowler for West End, taking three wickets for 17 runs, and his average would have read much better if be had been assisted by the field.
