HIGH SCHOOL CRICKET

Napier Piaying Gisborne Team INTERESTING POSITION A good, etand for the last wieket by Grainger and Kobinson saved the Napier High School from a deficit in th© first innings in their 20th. annual match with the Gisborne High School new being played at Napier. The position at the luncheon ad.journment today was that Napier, with a lead of 13 runs on the first innings, has taken five Gisborne wickets for 74 runs, leav|.ng the game, which is to be finished this afternoon, in an interesting pasition. Perfeot weather and a good wicket favoured the Gisborne batsmen this morning, but the batting was of a poor standard. In the last half-hour the fielding improved, and some smart work was seen, ineluding a good catcli near the boundary by Bobinson. Details: — GISBORNE HIGH SCHOOL. First Innings.
