HUTT v. PETONE. This match was commenced on January 11th and continued last Saturday on the Hutt recreation ground. At the conclusion of play a fortnight ago Petouo had scored 211 runs in their first innings, and Hutt had six wickets down for 79 runs, the not out basmen being Isherwood and Staples. Continuing their innings Hutt were disposed of for 210 runs, one run behind their opponents’ first innings’ score. The wicket was perfect and the outfield like a carpet, and a batsman who kept a straight bat had little to fear of the ball finding his stumps. Staples played a nice innings. He gave a difficult chance to the wicket-keeper, but otherwise his display was meritorious. Judd lost his wicket and the match by attempting a short run. He compiled 32, but when tho telegraph showed 188 runs Cate missed him. Stiles, the not out man, knocked up 13, showed a good turn with the bat. and gave promise of being heard of before the season closes. Hutt made an excellent recovery, and played a splendid uphill game. Had a little more judgment been shown victory would undoubtedly have been theirs. Petouo in their second innings scored 196 tor the loss of four wickets, Finlayson, who made 66 runs (not out) rattled up his total in quick time. his score were two 6’s, two s’s and six 4’s. A very unusual position has arisen in this match. When the runs were added up Hutt’s total was found to be 210, ono run behind Petono’s score. The_ Hutt scorer had credited 40 runs to Staples and the Petone scorer credited him with 41. To equalise matters a run was entered in the Hutt book to Staples. The bowling analyses in the two scoring books were compared, and showed that Hutt had scored 211 runs, which brought them on equal terms with Petone .on the first innings. Not being able to agree on tho matter the position is to be placed before the association for its ruling. It may be mentioned that Brice bowled three no-balls. Off one of these a run was scored, but three no-balls are debited in the extras. Scores : PETONE.
