University defeated Old Boys by three runs and lost to Hutt by one.run. Midland defeated IJetone by two runs. ■, . _ University have a great fielding side. Skipper MeLeod sets Ms men-a. very high standard in this department. The fielding of the Jocal side in the last jnatek *as an improvement on that shown in the previous game. The outfield is. a bit .uneven wilieh probably accounts for some slips in ground fielding. * Wa-rnes, Lees, Roberts, Birch and' Ross arc all round fieldsmen. ~ ' McGirr bowled splendidly against ■University. He appeared to be yards "faster than usual. I Arthur Aldersley showed some of his old form with the T>all on Saturday.
