CRICKET

THIRD SERIES COMMENCED LOWRY AND BEUTH SCORE CENTURIES. UNITED AND H. 5.0.8 FIGHTING HARD. The third series of the Hawke’s Bay senior cricket championship was commenced on Saturday in Napier, when the conditions were quite satisfactory. The wicket at the commencement of the afternoon was in favour of the bowlers, but later in the day was an ideal batsman’s wicket.

Technical Old Boys are faced with almost certain defeat at the hands of Heretaunga. This is due to the great scoring of Lowry and Beuth, who each recorded a century. Toni Lowry, the New Zealand skipper, was making his first appearance since his return from the tour, and his presence was a deciding factor in the match. When .stumps were drawn Heretaunga had lost 253 runs as compared with Technical Old Boys’ 175.

In the other game, United and High School Old Boys tried conclusions, and a hard fight is in progress. United made 239, of which Tempertoil contributed 85. Old Boys are striving gallantly, and have lost three wickets for 75 runs. Brief descriptions of the two games are given below: — UNITED v. H. 5.0.8. United won the toss and elected to bat, sending in Teinperton and Cane as the opening batsmen. Tempcrton held his end up well, but his partner was quicklv dismissed. The succeeding five batsmen were dismissed comparatively cheaply, and the prospects did not look too bright with the score reading 118 for six wickets. Then Brown became associated with Temperton, and the pair changed the complexion of the game. Steady scoring by both batsmen saw the runs mount up to 179 when Brown was smartly caught after making 20. In the next over Temperton had the misfortune to play the ball on to his sticks after making a good 85. which included a dozen fours and a five. Schofield and Spackman then made a stand, bringing the aggregate past the double century before being separated at 211, Spackman being stumped after hitting four fours in his con, tribution of 31. Schofield continued to score freely with Williams, and the final partnership brought the total to 239 before it was broken. Worker and Owen opened the innings for H. 5.0.8.. the former doing most of the scoring on behalf of the partnership, which was broken at 33. Holt, Geddis and Williams were the next fa. and though they stayed at the wicket for a time, the run-gettmg fell to Worker who. aided by Williams, batted out time, when the score read 75 for three wickets. Worker being 44 not out. Details: — UNITED.

HERETAUNGA LEAD TECHNICAL OLD BOYS.

Technical Old l Boys lost the toss, but had to bat first, Evans and Plested opening up the account with 38 before Evans was dismissed after making a quarter of a century. Five runs later O’Brien was caught, then the opening batsman fell at 50. E. Elliott and Shephard made a stand, bringing the score to 91. when the former lost his wicket after making a tidy 28. Shephard, aided by Hardaker brought the three figures on the board, but ten runs later he was clean bowled; Hardaker then had three partners who failed to get going, and when he fell, after topping the batting list, the score read 139 for eight wickets. The tail, in A. Elliott, Rouse, and Fifield. put on a few runs, though Rouse merely held his end: up. Elliott and Fifield both scored freely and when dismissed the score read 175.

Heretaunga started off well with White and Beuth. the pair taking their time with the run-getting, and both were well set when White sent an easy catch to square-leg, the score reading 48. The New Zealand skipper, Lowry, then donned the pads and the fireworks started. While Lowry settled down Beuth got busy and knocked up the runs. Then both started to bang the bowling about, and the century was passed in good time. Continuing the rapid scoring, the pair overtook Technical’s aggregate after 100 minutes’ batting. Scoring fast, it was a race as to who would reach the century first. Then Beuth slowed down, and the tourist went into triple figures with a succession of fours. Allowing Beuth to get all the bowling, Lowr- was contented with the short hits, and ten minutes later Beuth reached the coveted mark. Stumps were drawn in the next over, with the score reading 235 for one wicket. Details:— TECHNICAL OLD BOYS. Plested, c and b Paterson 15 O’Brien, c Alclvor, b Patterson 2 Evans, b Lowry 25 E.
