TRUNDLERS IN FORM

WELLINGTON COLLAPSE AGAINST PETONE. Brice, Finlayson, and Reyling struck great bowling form for Petone against Wellington on Saturday afternoon, with the result that Wellington, who were not at full batting strength, were dismissed on the village wickets for six short of the* century. Hiddleston batted in his usual confident stylo and was going well when smartly stumped b.y Cate off Reyling’a slow stuff. He top-scored for Wellington with 21. tho only other batsman to top double-figures being Bruce (12) and Monkhouse (11). After losing Mark Nicholls and Hamilton early in the proceedings,

Petone, thanks to a valuable partner- ' ship between “Ginger” Nicholls and Capstick. raised their score to 66 for the loss of four wickets before stumps were drawn for the afternoon. “Ginger” Nicholls contributed a valuable knock for 33 before being prettily held by Plant off Hiddleston. Capstick gave a solid displnv for 19 until a good ball from O’Connor ended his career. Details: WELLINGTON. ; First Innings.
